Customer Reviews of Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Second Season

Sophomore Season Delivers In The End
The second season of Star Trek Voyager exhibits the best and worst of what Star Trek can be. Some of the best episodes of any Star Trek series ever are part of the second season. These include episodes like "Meld", "Death Wish", and "Lifesigns". However, the worst episode ever produced on Star Trek Voyager, "Threshold", is part of the second season. <
> <
> The season can really be divided into two halves. The first half of the season is extremely weak with only a few brite spots. "The 37's" is a fun beginning to the season where we meet Amelia Earheart and "Projections" introduces Lt. Barclay to Voyager. These are really the two redeeming moments of the first half of the season. The season then digresses to the Doctor massaging Kes' feet so she can conceive a child. The episode "Twisted" shows our valiant crew giving up and everything still working out. The weakest point, however, is when Paris and Janeway are flopping around in the muck with their alien offspring. A lot of this is laughable. <
> <
> The season, however, more than redeems itself in the second half where it produces one masterpiece after the next. "Meld" is the best Tuvok episode ever, dealing with the mind of a Ensign Sudor, who has murdered a fellow crewman. "Death Wish" is quite possbily the best Q episode in any series. "Death Wish" deals with immortality, assisted suicide, cruel and unusual incarceration, the meaning of existence, and we finally get to visit the Q Continuum. "Lifesigns" is probably the best Doctor episode ever and that is saying a lot. "Lifesigns" deals with a hologram falling in love and the meaning of true love. It also explores the issues surrounding an individual living with the consequences of the Vidian Phage virus day in and day out. "The Thaw" is awesome! It is unbelievable how an emotion, fear, could be brought to life in a constructed reality with such vivid power. "Tuvix" once again deals with powerful issues, such as the right to exist. Is it right to destroy one sentient being to create another? What if that being was created by accident and you are destroying that being to restore two others? That is the premise for "Tuvix". B'Lanna has some great moments when she confronts the consequences of her past in "Dreadnaught". She struggles with the fact that she may be responsible for the destruction of an innocent civilization. In "Prototype" B'Lanna experiences the joy of basicly giving birth to a lifeform, a prototype unit. Finally, the season ends with a great cliffhangar, "Basics". In "Basics" the Kazon, Seska, and Chakotay's baby storylines all come to a head and in the process the Voyager crew is marooned on a volcanic planet with no technology. WOW! <
> <
> Buy this set! Don't get discouraged by the season's slow start. The season explodes in the end with a level of storytelling hardly ever matched by any other Star Trek season. <

Voyager delivers! Better stories than the first season
Still developing the characters in the 2nd Season, Star Trek Voyager continued to consistently pump out great stories, combined with the usual sets, costumes, special effects and music that you've come to expect from Star Trek. <
>Slightly better than the first season, viewers are treated to a full season ( 26 episodes )of terrific stories. <
>By now the main elements of the characters are familiar, as each major character gets at least one story about them this season. <
>Continuing it's journey home from the Delta Quadrant, Captain Janeway and her crew encounter all sorts of aliens through this season. <
>Although many fans didn't like the "kazon", I did not mind them too much. Sure they were a little like the Klingons, but I didn't think they were too overused. <
>Early on this season, we see more use of Robert Picardos wonderful Doctor character in an episode called " Projections" which is also a chance to see " Lt. Barclay" who Next Gen fans fans will remember from that series. <
>Ensign Kim gets his first major episode in "Non Sequitur ", with a nice look at the modern Earth and Starfleet headquarters to boot. <
>First Officer "Chakotay" gets an episode too; " Tattoo" which reveals, guess what, yes, just how he gets that Tattoo. <
>The best twist, and one of the best twists for Star Trek ever, was the defection of " Seska" who turns out to be a sneaky Cardassian instead, and joins the Kazon. <
>" Prototype" was a another first with superb camera angles in the intro as Engineer Torres reactivates some AI in the form of a shiny silver robot. <
>Some other interesting episodes were Tom Paris breaking through the warp barrier in " Threshold", Tuvoks murder investigation in " Meld " and a Cardassian weapon gone wrong in " Dreadnought" <
>There's plenty here for those who enjoyed the first season. <
>And the stories just get sharper from here on. <
>As usual, this comes with a bunch of extras, interviews etc, which makes you appreciate the show even more. <
>Well done Star Trek! A great series. <
> <
>Thanks for reading

The Star Trek franchise continues...
Nominated for 30 Emmys, including seven for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series, Star Trek: Voyager continues the rich tradition of the original 1960s Star Trek franchise. Created by former L.A. police officer Gene Roddenberry, the Star Trek TV series morphed into a franchise famous for the unprecedented fanatical devotion of its fan base. Lasting only three seasons during its original network run, Star Trek struck gold with its syndicated reruns, launching a number of motion pictures featuring the original cast as well as novels, comic books, collectibles, and reams of Star Trek-related memorabilia. The third spin-off from the original Star Trek series, Star Trek: Voyager premiered in January 1995 to modest critical acclaim, but experienced great success with television viewers, slowly increasing its ratings as the series progressed. Following on the heels of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), the series precedes Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) while boasting an all-star cast that includes veteran actress Kate Mulgrew (whose past TV appearances include such shows as Dallas, Cheers, and Murphy Brown). Yet instead of pursuing the classic Star Trek mission to "boldly go where no one has gone before," Star Trek: Voyager is more about going where the crew has been before... <
> <
>Star Trek: Voyager follows the exploits of the crew aboard the starship USS Voyager. As the series begins, the Voyager is on a Federation mission to capture a rogue ship of Maquis rebels (a race first introduced in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). While in pursuit of the Maquis, the Voyager enters a system known as the badlands, and both ships are instantaneously transported to the Delta Quadrant over seventy-thousand light years away on the outskirts of the galaxy. Soon, both the Maquis and the crew of Voyager learn they were brought to Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker, a mysterious force overseeing the safety of the Ocampan race who live in the shadow on an impending threat from the vicious Kazon. When the Kazon destroy the Maquis ship, the Voyager crew merges with the Maquis crew to defend themselves from the Kazon. Having destroyed the device which could bring them home, the crew of the Voyager - led by Capt. Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), and the crew of the Maquis ship - led by Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran), must work as a united front in order to meet their mutual goal of finding a way home... <

>The Star Trek: Voyager (Season 2) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere "The 37's" in which the Voyager discovers a 1936 Ford truck floating through random space. The vehicle soon leads them to the discovery of several cryogenic chambers that contain humans abducted by aliens during the 1930s, among them - Amelia Earhart and her navigator... Other notable episodes from Season 2 include "Tatoo" in which Commander Chakotay attempts to establish contact with the beings his ancestors named the "Sky Spirits" after discovering a religious symbol from his home planet, and "Deathwish" in which Q seeks asylum aboard the Voyager while threatening suicide... <
