Keith r.a. decandido's mad ramblings.

introducing the Star Trek: Voyager  Rewatch!

I’m pleased to announce my next big project for Tor.com, now that the great superhero movie rewatch is coming to a pause: the  Star Trek: Voyager Rewatch!

From the intro post:

“But wait,” I hear you cry, “you kept saying you wouldn’t do  Voyager ! What changed?” And this is true. While I did do rewatches of  TNG  and  DS9 , instead of moving on to  Voyager  after  DS9 , I instead went back and did  the original  Star Trek , and then moved on to other things. Every time I was asked, I said I wasn’t going to do  Voyager  (or, for that matter,  Enterprise ). However, I have reversed that decision for a couple of reasons. One is that it is, as I said in the first sentence, the twenty-fifth anniversary of  Voyager . Just as  the  Star Trek  The Original Series Rewatch  was in time for the fiftieth anniversary in 2016, this will celebrate  Voyager ’s silver anniversary in 2020. The other is that my own general dislike for  Voyager  has come under fire from many friends and colleagues, including several women who are younger than me, who grew up watching  Voyager , and who count Mulgrew’s Janeway as a role model. It’s been ages since I watched any  Voyager  episodes. Back when I was regularly writing  Trek  fiction, I would rewatch episodes for research purposes, but that hasn’t been a factor in over a decade. The only episode I’ve seen in “recent” times is “ Flashback ” for the  DS9  rewatch’s “Tribbles Week Redux,” which was in 2014. I’m older, and I like to think wiser, and so I think it’s time for a re-consideration of  Voyager .

More details at the intro post.

The intro was today, which is the 25th anniversary of  Voyager ‘s debut on the brand-spanking-new UPN network. The first rewatch entry will go up on Thursday the 23rd (the same day that  Star Trek: Picard will debut) and appear every Monday and Thursday going forward.

I’m actually really excited about this, and am looking forward to looking at this show with fresh eyes.

ST: Voyager episode guide – Seven seasons of trekking through the Delta Quadrant

Of the three 1980s/90s Star Trek series, Voyager takes the longest to really get up  a head of steam. The very premise of the show, i.e. Federation citizens and members of a terrorist organization must learn to band together to survive in an unknown part of the galaxy, is mostly forgotten by episode 4 of season 1 . In addition, the show’s two most notable characters – the Doctor and Seven – don’t really take over the proceedings until season 4 or so. Nevertheless, Voyager does include some true ST classics in its run (e.g. “The Blink of an Eye”, the existential nightmare “Course: Oblivion”) that just about forgive all involved for “Threshold.”

Star Trek: Voyager – Season 2 episode guide

Star Trek: Voyager – Bests and worsts of seven seasons

Season 1 – How can “Caretaker” be considered by far the weakest of all Star Trek premieres? Because it suffers from all the blah plotlines and meh characters while introducing a handful of dead-end stories and irrelevant background. Any sort of conflict promised by combining Maquis and Enterprise crews is cleared up by episode #3, for example, and Tom Paris’s supposed controversial past is hardly an issue by the time the credits roll.

Season 2 – In an attempt to up the stakes for the series, much of season 2 is devoted to trying to make the Kezon badasses. However, stuff like “Alliances” (#14) pales in comparison to anything involving political machinations on Deep Space Nine. Voyager thankfully reaches is nadir in this season, with the straight-up stupid “Tuvix” (#24, in which Tuvok and Neelix are combined via transporter accident) and the profoundly bad “Threshold” (#15, in which Paris exceeds warp 10 in shuttlecraft, passes through every point in the Universe, evolves into a giant insect and impregnates Janeway – and it’s even more ridiculous than that tight summation makes it sound).

Season 3 – A fairly uneven season does contain a few gems. Lots of head trip episodes lead up to Voyager’s version of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home in “Future’s End” (#s 8-9) – except set in the 1990s and not nearly as funny. Janeway and Kes end up on the wrong (but suspenseful) side of time paradoxes in “Coda” (#15) and “Before and After” (#21); Robert Picrado gets to chew the scenery as a Mr. Hyde-like version of his Doctor in “Darkling” (#18). And Voyager season 3 may boast the best holodeck-based episode ever with “Worst Case Scenario” (#23).

Season 4 – Season 4 is to Voyager what season 2 was to Next Generation or season 3 was to Deep Space Nine . As in those other instances, Star Trek: Voyager starts out purposefully and strong from the starting gun: Part 2 of “Scorpion,” “The Gift” and “Day of Honor” gave lots more quality time to the fan favorites (and, let’s face it, better characters) Captain Janeway, the Doctor and new addition Seven of Nine while keeping Neelix’s participation minimized and jettisoning Kes. The “Year of Hell” storyline (#s 8-9) puts the emphasis on action, while the awesome Species 8472 returns in “Prey” (#16).

Season 5 – Although Voyager was conveniently “flung” out of Borg space early in season 4, season 5 sets a single-season mark for greatest use of the Borg – even if we don’t include everything about the increasingly interesting Seven of Nine – with “Drone” (#2), “Infinite Regress” (#7) and “Dark Frontier (#15-16) all Borg-centric. This season is also notable for its high number of character-focused episodes In fact, of all the main characters, only Neelix is denied (yes!) a solo shot in this season.

Season 6 – Perhaps feeling the urgency of a seventh season (the closer for TNG and DS9), more episodes in season 6 tantalize at methods of reducing the Voyager’s trip back – heck, even noted Next Generation second banana Reg Barclay gets broken out of mothballs to try and contact the ship through subspace (“Pathfinder”, #10). We’ve also got good old Federation machinations (“The Voyager Conspiracy”, #9) to ramp things up a bit. Season 6 is also a great one for returning characters: The Borg are back again of course, but so are Kes (“Fury”, #23) and Dr. Zimmerman (“Life Line”, #24).

Season 7 – Voyager’s final season hardly feels like a final season, and the concluding two-parter (“Endgame“) is as muted as the entire series had been, as is quasit-retrospective “All Good Things”-like “Shattered” (#11). Q makes his final appearance (to date) within the franchise in Q2 (#19), and hardcore ST fans cannot be too enthusiastic about “Inside Man” (#6), a mash-up of Ferengi con artists, Borg technology, Federation conspiracy and Reg Barclay.

Jeri Ryan's Seven of Nine Costumes In Star Trek: Voyager Made No Sense

The star trek: voyager season 4 story that turned captain janeway into a hypocrite, jeri ryan would have turned down star trek: voyager because of 1 scene.

Warning: contains spoilers for Star Trek: Defiant #18!

Whether they realize it or not, an underrated Star Trek: Voyager species may have just saved the galaxy. While traveling the treacherous Delta Quadrant, Voyager encounters a number of new species, both friendly and hostile–most falling into the latter category. The Hirogen were one such race, menacing Voyager several times during their journey. Now, in Star Trek: Defiant #18, the Hirogen may have inadvertently saved the galaxy.

The Hirogen debuted in the fourth season Voyager episode "Message in a Bottle."

Star Trek: Defiant #18 is written by Christopher Cantwell and drawn by Angel Unzueta. Worf, Ro Laren and B’Elanna Torres are on the Antaran homeworld, on the edge of the Delta Quadrant. The Romulans are coming to Antara to strip the planet of its remaining technology, and Worf must organize the agrarian inhabitants to fight back. Not optimistic about their prospects, Worf nevertheless presses ahead. One of the Antarans takes Worf to a clearing, where two Hirogen Raiders are kept.

The ships are over a hundred years old, but are still in working condition.

The Hirogen's Star Trek: Voyager Connection, Explained

The hirogen live for the hunt, making them unlike other star trek aliens.

When Voyager was thrown 75,000 light years into the Delta Quadrant, they were in completely unknown territory. Voyager set a course for home, and right into the crosshairs of every hostile race in the Delta Quadrant. The Kazon, the Borg, the Krenim and the Hirogen all squared off with Voyager at one point or another. The Hirogen were particularly scary. They were warp-capable, but nomadic, traveling through the galaxy hunting for pure sport. The Hirogen met Janeway and her crew often, and took them down to the wire.

One of Voyager’s better developed races, the Hirogen’s single-minded pursuit of the hunt led to fascinating social mores and customs.

The glimpses of Hirogen culture and society glimpsed in Star Trek: Voyager paint a fascinating picture. One of Voyager’s better developed races, the Hirogen’s single-minded pursuit of the hunt led to fascinating social mores and customs. Voyager tried to make breakthroughs with the Hirogen, but it would not be until the ship returned home that the Federation attempted formal diplomatic relations. As revealed in Star Trek: Picard , the two powers have come to an agreement, but only after some initial misunderstandings. While it is unlikely the Hirogen will join the Federation, it is one less enemy they will deal with.

The Hirogen May Have Just Saved Everyone

Star trek is showing the true potential of the hirogen.

Just as the Hirogen’s culture produced unique customs, it gave birth to some fantastic technology as well, tech that just might have saved the galaxy. A Romulan invasion fleet is headed to Antara, which under normal circumstances would have spelled doom for the planet. Yet the presence of Hirogen raiders gives Worf and the Antarans an advantage they previously did not have. Star Trek: Voyager touched on the awesome potential of Hirogen technology, and now it will be instrumental in saving an important planet, and thus the galaxy.
