Blood Fever has some very interesting ideas and an amazing ending to say the least, but it also has its problems. The main one, in my opinion, is that there are too many things in it! For a while the Vulcan ensign Vorik (Alexander Enberg) has been hitting on the beautiful B’Elanna Torres and that … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E16, Blood Fever
Star Trek: Voyager has hardly ever launched itself into uncharted territory until now, far from it. Very often it has, like all the Star Trek series following The Original Series, reused previous ideas (especially from The Next Generation). Given that the setting should’ve been entirely new (the series takes place in an entirely different quadrant), … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E15, Coda
I complained a lot about one thing in my Star Trek: Voyager reviews. No, I’m not talking about Kate Mulgrew’s acting. Nor am I talking about the fact that the Delta Quadrant is too similar to the Alpha Quadrant. I am referring to the terrible new Hawaiian holodeck program (see for instance what I wrote … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E14, Alter Ego
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
James Cameron’s Aliens (1986) is one of my three favorite films in the history of cinema, I’ve seen it a minimum of twenty times already and I try to rewatch it once a year. I consider it a perfect film in every detail and I’m part of the minority of the world population considering it … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E12, Macrocosm
What to say about Q and the Grey apart from the fact that the title refers to the US Civil War poem entitled The Blue and The Grey? Unfortunately there’s little to praise here, which is very disappointing given that the previous appearance of Q (John DeLancie) in Star Trek: Voyager was the memorable Death … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E11, Q and the Grey
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
Future’s End is a fun double episode of Star Trek: Voyager in which the writers (Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky) decided to put aside profound concepts and positive messages. I had a lot of fun watching it, but it’s undeniable that there are lots of things that don’t add up… But I don’t really care … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E08-E09, Future’s End
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
This sixth episode of the third season deals with a very tough subject with a certain sensitivity: genocide. You probably don’t need a Star Trek episode to prove that under no circumstances is genocide acceptable, but Remember conveys that message with an extremely thrilling story. In short, this is another of those amazing episodes to … More Star Trek: Voyager – S03E06, Remember
