Tattoo – When Chakotay encounters aliens with identical tattoos, he thinks he’s found an essential part of his ancestry … or something. Persistence of Vision – Head trip for everyone … literally! Hallucinations and catatonia for everyone except for the show’s stars, then pretty much everyone. In the end, the boys essentially agree that Kes is already more or less Neelix’s possession. Parturition – Neelix reaches an apex of annoying usefulness, as he spends most of this episode arguing with Paris over the affections of Kes. Pretty good stuff, but we’re denied a potential awesome wideshot of a twisted Voyager and/or the bridge crew running about the ship as though in an Escher illustration. Twisted – Time and space are distorting Voyager like Escher in 4D various pairs and trios attempt to maneuver their way through an ever-changing ship. Non-Sequitur – Head trip for Harry Kim, who wakes up in San Francisco, living an everyday life and having never boarded Voyager. Elogium – As Voyager passes through a cloud of interesting space cicadas (or something like that), Kes goes though the Elogium, kinda like Pon Farr for her race and … well, just imagine watching a lot of Neelix ruminating over whether he wants to be a father. Projections – Head trip for The Doctor! (Of course it’s directed by Johnathan Frakes.) The Doctor comes online to find the Enterprise (nearly) empty of personnel and is then told that it is he who is real and the Voyager is in fact- a holodeck hologram! The first of many episodes is which Robert Picardo gets to shine. Initiations – Chakotay takes a shuttlecraft to perform a ritual (don’t ask) and is attacked by a zealous Kazon youth whose own coming-of-age rite calls on him to kill a stranger. The 37s – The Voyager crew discovers not only an Earth-like colony on a planet where it sure shouldn’t be, but also a handful of individuals from 1937, including Amelia Earhart and obnoxiously-portrayed navigator Fred Noonan. How the Borg have failed to conquer these relative wusses’ space is beyond Star Trek Guide’s comprehension.Īnd along the way to descending into soap operatics to finally crash and burn in a pretty lame cliffhanger, we’re served up two of the most hideously awful episodes ever in “Tuvix” and “Threshold.” So, yeah, not one of the better ST seasons.ġ. In lieu of proper baddies such as Klingons, Romulans and Borg (and how much better does Voyager get when the Borg enter the scene?), season 2 appears to be an attempt to sell viewers on the badassness of the Kazon.
#VOYAGER STAR TREK SEASON 7 HOW MANY EPISODES SERIES#
Star Trek noobs and hardcore fans alike could have some difficultly trawling through the episodes of season 2, as the low-stakes stories and muted character interrelations of this series continue. A handful of episodes originally slated to conclude Star Trek: Voyager season 1 instead lead off season 2 in rather ho-hum fashion, excepting maybe “The 37s” which too was marred by the awful characterization of Fred Noonan.
