Amazon.com After Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) spent much of Voyager's fourth season trying to resist the pull of the Borg, and just when the tide of battle seemed to be turning, she returns to the Collective in a memorable confrontation with the Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson) in the centerpiece story of the fifth season, the two-part "Dark Frontier." The Borg also factor into the nightmare-laden "Infinite Regress" as well as "Drone," in which a strange Borg-human-EMH hybrid teaches Seven the experience of parenthood, of sorts. Species 8472 returns as well, in another of the season's gritty episodes, "In the Flesh."
The series' historic 100th episode "Timeless" goes back in history as Kim (Garrett Wang) and Chakotay (Robert Beltran) try to repair a past mistake (directed by and guest-starring TNG's LeVar Burton), and in another dizzying episode, "Relativity," Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) is spending her first day on Voyager when she discovers Seven, who has traveled back in time to prevent an act of sabotage. It was also a good season for buddies Kim and Paris (Robert Duncan MacNeill). In addition to "Timeless," Kim takes center stage in "The Disease" when he embarks on a dangerous romance. Paris is thrown in the brig in "Thirty Days," and his Captain Proton holodeck simulation goes haywire in "Bride of Chaotica!" In "Course Oblivion," a ship wedding is the prelude to a deadly displacement for the entire crew.
It wasn't all slam-bang action. The Doctor's (Robert Picardo) buried memories lead to an ethical conflict in "Latent Image," and he and Seven (the two most consistently interesting crew members) dabble in the most unlikely of romances in one of the series' most touching and memorable episodes "Someone to Watch Over Me." Also, Jason Alexander (then in Seinfeld) guest-stars as a scheming alien in "Think Tank." Voyager didn't always close its season with a cliffhanger, but in "Equinox, Part 1" an attempt to aid another Federation starship in the Delta Quadrant uncovers a threat that might destroy them both.
The bonus features include a season recap, crew profiles of Voyager's resident couple, B'Elanna Torres and Paris, a 19-minute spotlight on the makeup process (Neelix was created as a combination of Timon and Pumbaa in The Lion King), and "The Borg Queen Speaks," in which Susanna Thompson discusses the difficulties of shooting and how she had originally auditioned for the same role in Star Trek: First Contact. --David Horiuchi
As ExpectedJuly 4, 2010 Robert Dill(Jacksonville, Fl United States) For me this was entirely worth the cost and I am very pleased. "Voyager" renewed my faith in the Star Trek series.
Love the Star trek Voyager.June 30, 2010 wolf314 I love the series. Season five was pretty good, but not as good as the rest. It was more about life on the ship than all out dangerous adventures they had before.
The Continuing AdventureApril 7, 2010 Debbie G(Southern California) I am pleased to be able to concentrate on enjoying my purchase. The service was smooth and pleasantly predictable. The product was exactly as I expected in content and condition. I am therefore able to simply enjoy watching this season's adventure. This is why I love Amazon. This season is a continuation of the voyage. A good selection of stories and characters for this stage in the series, all of it truly Star Trek. I really enjoyed this year and am ready to go on to Season 6 soon!
30 DaysMarch 30, 2010 Golden Lion(North Ogden, Ut United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A water world is discovered in space. An gravitational machine is holding the water together using in space. A race of people have created a civilization of millions living in the water mining the water for oxygen and desalinizing the water for consumption. The mining has changed the density of the water and the water world is beginning to evaporate into space.
Tom Paris disobeys the Prime Directive and tries to blow up the mining equipment, but Janeway intervenes and intercepts the missile. Tom is stripped of his command and put in the brigg for 30 days of isolated confinement.
Paris thought his actions were justified because the subcommittee was not going to act and the scientific research would be shelf for later evaluation in the mean time the "Global Warming" threat was being ignored.
The Prime Directive was preserved but the planets gravitational engine continued to malfunction leading to the complete destruction of the water world. Janeway did not feel morally responsible to intervene in the internal politics of the world and allow them to destroy their planet. Was she right in her decision of non intervention? The planet did not have the technology to fix the problem and Voyager did, but chose to respected the subcommittees decision of inaction.
Good series with one exceptionMarch 4, 2010 Viper2048 I am Trekkie but Voy is not my favorite series (this appertain to TNG and DS9). But Season 4 of Voy was very good and Seven is an enrichment for the show. But I don't like the behavior of Janeway in this Season (espcially in the episodes "Thirty Days" and "Latent Image").
