Scorpion, Part II (6.5 / D) |
|
|
Summary: Janeway cuts a deal with the Borg, but is it a deal with the
devil? Well, duh!
The Bottom Line: Unlike many past Trek "cliffhangers,"
this was not a severe disappointment, but while generally entertaining, there were some
aspects of the episode that don't survive any real scrutiny. More...

|
The Gift (7.5 / C) |
|
|
Summary: Janeway loses one adoptive daughter, but gains another, in
an amalgam of high-tech cosmetic surgery and questionable evolutionary theory.
The Bottom Line: While there are some of the usual idiocies present in
the episode, I liked it much more than I expected. More...

Day of Honor (5.5 / F+) |
|
|
Summary: The U.S.S. Voyager gets a new bumper sticker to go
along with its shiny new paint job: "Practice Unexpected Acts of Kindness," as
Tom and B'Elanna struggle for life and love in the unrelenting vacuum of space.
The Bottom Line: An episode that eschews some cliches but embraces many
more. Move along. Nothing new to see here. More... |
|
|
|
|
|
Nemesis (5.0 / F) |
|
|
Summary: Chakotay plays a virtual reality version of Doom.
The Bottom Line: An episode chock full of cliches, Trek and
otherwise, further sabotaged by the inept acting. More...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Revulsion (5.7 / F+) |
|
|
Summary: Doc and Torres encounter a holographic janitor with a
murderous hatred for organic beings.
The Bottom Line: The usual crapola. More...

|
|
|
|
|
Scientific Method (3.86675 / F) |
|
|
Summary: Alien experimentation leads to physical and behavioral
problems amongst the crew.
The Bottom Line: A grotesque patchwork of body parts cobbled together
from various Next Generation episodes. More...

|
|
Year of Hell, Part I (7.0 / C-) |
|
|
Summary: The Krenim alter history in an attempt to restore their lost
empire, and Voyager is clobbered by the restored Krenim.
The Bottom Line: There were some damned interesting things going on in
this show, which just begs the question: Why can't anything interesting happen in Voyager's
real universe? More... |
|
|
|
|
|
Year of Hell, Part II (6.9 / D+) |
|
|
Summary: The increasingly rickety Voyager and her
increasingly psychotic crew struggle against the Krenim.
The Bottom Line: An interesting episode, but since none of it happened,
thanks to the Extra-Large Reset Button, does it really matter? More...

Concerning Flight (4.5 / F) |
|
|
Summary: Voyager gets mugged, and Maestro DaVinci must go
all out to get the loot back.

The Omega Directive (6.5 / D) |
|
|
Summary: A secret Starfleet order compels the Voyager crew
to destroy techno-particles, no matter what the cost.
The Bottom Line: Clearly, the technobabble has gotten out of hand when it
appears in the very titles of the episodes. Sheesh. Still, we did get some decent
character work, especially for Seven of Nine. Some key plot holes damage the show greatly,
however. More... |

|
Living Witness (7.5 / C) |
|
|
Summary: The Doctor arrives in a future in which history portrays the
Voyager as evil marauders.
The Bottom Line: Quite a compelling episode, which begs once again the
question: "Why can't anything interesting happen in Voyager's real
reality?" A few cliches and contrivances hurt the episode somewhat, but it's an
enjoyable watch. More... |
|
|
|
|
|
Demon (2.0 / F-) |
|
|
Summary: A search for deuterium leads to weirdness.
The Bottom Line: An absurd episode, with science that is appalling even
by Voyager's extremely low standards. More...
|
|
|
|
|
|
One (6.0 / D-) |
|
|
Summary: Seven is left all alone when passage through a dangerous
region of space requires the rest of the crew to go into stasis.
The Bottom Line: So dull it very nearly put me into stasis. More... |
|
|
|
|
|
Hope and Fear (8.0 / B-) |
|
|
Summary: A mysterious alien shows up with a way back to the Alpha
Quadrant, but is it too good to be true? Well, duh!
The Bottom Line: If they had to do a Gilligan's Island episode,
at least they did it with style. More... |
