I have always argued, especially in my Star Trek: Voyager Season 1 reviews, that Neelix was a good character, a kind of Deep Space Nine’s Quark who, if used well, could enrich the adventures in the Delta quadrant of the most unfortunate Starfleet ship in the Universe. Admittedly, however, Neelix hasn’t become one of the … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E13, Fair Trade
And after a double episode (Future’s End) where almost the whole recurring cast had the opportunity to shine, here’s an episode centered on my favorite character, Kes. And once again it’s the classic Star Trek idea to let a cast member have some fun interpreting someone different, for a change. The idea was first used … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E10, Warlord
And after a great episode like Remember, it was probably inevitable to get a weak episode. It doesn’t help that I’m not particularly fond of the character who’s the protagonist of the story, but I doubt that with any other character things would have improved particularly, given the shaky plot of Sacred Ground. Things are … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E07, Sacred Ground
I saw Ferengis and I couldn’t believe it. Why? Having watched the entire Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series at least a couple of times, I have developed a healthy hatred of Ferengi episodes, which is synonymous with not funny, repetitive, stupid, and pointless. I can save just a couple that come to mind, namely … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E05, False Profits
And here we are with a new version of a crew member imprisoned by mistake, or, if you like, a new chapter in the saga “We Lost Harry Kim“. However, although the plot is utterly unoriginal (Ex Post Facto comes to mind, the eighth episode of the first season of Voyager), at least the filmmakers … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E03, The Chute

Piller left this world in 2005 and TrekCore’s trekkies released a version of the book as an homage to Piller who … More Fade In: From Idea to Final Draft – The Writing of Star Trek: Insurrection (Book Review)

Here we are at the beginning of the third season of Star Trek: Voyager! 42 done, 130 to go. Well, that’s a lot… We’re only a quarter of the way through! Well, let’s get to it. This beginning of the season is the first after a cliffhanger, as it was traditional in the sister series … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E01, Basics (Part II)
After the disappointing conclusion of the longest story arc developed so far in Star Trek: Voyager (see Investigations), here’s a great, compelling, well thought out and well made episode! Deadlock surely relies on a huge technobabble, but it manages to excite and brings home a story full of amazing twists. The trick of duplicating the … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E21, Deadlock
Wow! This episode took me by surprise! It deals with very profound themes, and it has a couple of amazing special guests: not only John de Lancie, but even Jonathan Frakes as the most beloved bearded Star Trek commander! Here’s the plot of Death Wish, the eighteenth episode of the second season of Star Trek: … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E18, Death Wish
