Rating  - Good season of Voyager.
This is not the best season of Voyager like season 3 or 4, but it is still good. It is still Voyager. I think one distinct thing about this season is that they do more comedy. I think it is because the cast is very comfortable at this point and they have been together for a very long time. The worst thing about the DVDs is that there is no commentary, and the packaging is horrible. They might as well have taken the DVDs and put them in a typical envelope and mailed them to you as is. The worst episode by far is when Kes comes back. It is a complete character change and does not make any since if you watched the early seasons of Voyager. The best part of the season is the conclusion of Equinox from the prior season.
Rating - Note to Paramount: no sane person is going to pay more than $60 for a DVD set, ever!
Wake up Paramount! Take a cue from your sales on the STTNG sets. Now that you have finally come to your senses and dropped the prices on the sets to where they should have been in the FIRST PLACE, I would imagine that all of the hold-outs (like me) are now buying them.
See, it works like this, 30 minute shows on DVD, for a season, have earned a fair market price of $25-35. So, since Star Trek episodes are an hour long, that means a fair doubling of the price puts it into the $50-70 range. So, $60 is your sweet spot.
You will be able to take in the obsessive fans with your initial insane pricing points, but everyone else looks at your current price tags, especially with the shoddy packaging that you are still foisting on us, and just laughs and waits for the inevitable price drop. So, do us all a favor and fire your marketing and sales people, drop the price to where it is supposed to be, and earn your sales. Nobody sane is going to pay more than $60 for a season of an hour long/episode TV show on DVD, period.
Rating  - Star Trek Voyager
I have been a Star Trek fan for many years--since the original series in the sixties.I enjoy the Star Trek Voyager series too.
Rating - Better and better.
More than any other Trek series, Voyager had a steady improvement in quality as it moved in to it's later season, particularly after season 4. Season Six is truly excellent, some of the best of Voyager. The season picks up where the previous left off, with the conclusion to the much underrated Equinox, which really tests the crew's devotion to principle, as the actions of a renegade Starfleet crew result in Voyager being the victim of attack by extra-dimensional entities.
Barge of the Dead is a quirky look at the Klingon afterlife, and while not being remarkable, it's still a worthwhile episode.
Tenker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy is one of the highlights of the season, as hostile aliens tap in to the Doctors daydreams, where he is the most intelligent, important, and all around greatest crew member. Easily one of the funniest Trek episodes ever.
Alice gives us Tom Paris obsessing over an old shuttle, much in the way modern day car guys do with cars.
Dragons Teeth give us a memorable species, the Vaadwaur, who had been in cryogenic suspension for 1000 years.
the Voyager Conspiracy is an episode of paranoia and second guessing, as Seven thinks that the rpesence of Voyager in the Delta Quadrant is no accident.
Pathfinder features guest appearances by Lt. Barclay and Counselor Troi, who become involved in a project to try and establish contact with Voyager via a radical application of subspace radio.
Fair Haven gives us the memorable holodeck town of the same name, a 19th century Irish town where the crew can unwind amidst absurd situations.
Blink of an Eye has been called one of the most fascinating episodes in Trek history, and that is no understatement. Voyager becomes trapped in orbit of a planet where time moves faster than the rest of the galaxy, and as a result, their society becomes centered around the "sky ship", which they marvel over for thousands of years.
Virtuoso is another great Doctor episode, in which he becomes a superstar of a society that has no concept of music.
Collective features the Voager crew adopting a group of Borg children, abandoned by the collective.
Good Shepherd is Voyagers' "Lower Decks", the famous TNG episode which examined the life of junior officers on the Enterprise. Captain JAneway takes a group of udneracheivers on a Delta Flyer mission where they encounter an unusual alien entity.
Live Fast and Prosper is another great comedic episode, in which a small group of con artists masquerade as the Voyager crew in order to pursue illicit transactions.
Muse involves B'ellana crashing on an M Class world inhabited by a humanoid species who have a society similar to ancient Greece, and B'ellana is mistaken for a goddess by a poet, who sees her as a muse.
Life Line is yet another Doctor episode, and features Barclay and Deanna once more, as well as the designer of the Doctors holomatrix, who is dying of a degenerative illness.
Rating - The Star Trek franchise continues...
Nominated for 30 Emmys, including seven for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series, Star Trek: Voyager continues the rich tradition of the original 1960s Star Trek franchise. Created by former L.A. police officer Gene Roddenberry, the Star Trek TV series morphed into a franchise famous for the unprecedented fanatical devotion of its fan base. Lasting only three seasons during its original network run, Star Trek struck gold with its syndicated reruns, launching a number of motion pictures featuring the original cast as well as novels, comic books, collectibles, and reams of Star Trek-related memorabilia. The third spin-off from the original Star Trek series, Star Trek: Voyager premiered in January 1995 to modest critical acclaim, but experienced great success with television viewers, slowly increasing its ratings as the series progressed. Following on the heels of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), the series precedes Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) while boasting an all-star cast that includes veteran actress Kate Mulgrew (whose past TV appearances include such shows as Dallas, Cheers, and Murphy Brown). Yet instead of pursuing the classic Star Trek mission to "boldly go where no one has gone before," Star Trek: Voyager is more about going where the crew has been before...
Star Trek: Voyager follows the exploits of the crew aboard the starship USS Voyager. As the series begins, the Voyager is on a Federation mission to capture a rogue ship of Maquis rebels (a race first introduced in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). While in pursuit of the Maquis, the Voyager enters a system known as the badlands, and both ships are instantaneously transported to the Delta Quadrant over seventy-thousand light years away on the outskirts of the galaxy. Soon, both the Maquis and the crew of Voyager learn they were brought to Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker, a mysterious force overseeing the safety of the Ocampan race who live in the shadow on an impending threat from the vicious Kazon. When the Kazon destroy the Maquis ship, the Voyager crew merges with the Maquis crew to defend themselves from the Kazon. Having destroyed the device which could bring them home, the crew of the Voyager - led by Capt. Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), and the crew of the Maquis ship - led by Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran), must work as a united front in order to meet their mutual goal of finding a way home...
The Star Trek: Voyager (Season 6) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere "Equinox" in which the crew of the Voyager is charged with devising a solution to rescue Capt. Janeway and Seven Of Nine before it's too late... Other notable episodes from Season 6 include "The Voyager Conspiracy" in which a malfunctioning Seven Of Nine starts spouting rumors of mutiny when the Voyager encounters an alien race in possession of warp technology capable of bringing the Voyager back home, and "Good Shepard" in which Capt. Janeway takes three of her crew members on a special training mission that goes awry when a collision with a comet threatens their very lives...
