Shelve Trek for a While…
Shelve Trek for a few years. You cannot go anywhere on the ‘net to read about Trek without dealing with messages, posts, or public opinion bleedthrough from the pundits, armchair scriptwriters, and self appointed Guardians of Forever out there that have nothin’ to spew but negativity and derision.…Read on!Shelve Trek for a While…
Star Trek: Voyager – Season 6: “Unimatrix Zero Pt. 1”
– Three and a Half Badges – (Season Finale) “A fairy tale about Borg skulls and what’s rattling around inside them.” 2020 UPDATE – Twenty year later I feel that Voyager did rely a bit too heavily on the Borg near the end of its…Read on!Star Trek: Voyager – Season 6: “Unimatrix Zero Pt. 1”
Star Trek: Voyager – Season 6: “Spirit Folk”
– Two Badges out of Four – “A tale about danger in a holodeck setting that’s totally compelling to the crew and utterly boring to the audience.” 2020 UPDATE – Twenty year later I remember Fair Haven as the weakest of Voyager’s holodeck settings only…Read on!Star Trek: Voyager – Season 6: “Spirit Folk”
Star Trek: Voyager – Season 6: “Alice”
– Two Badges – “Paris plays Bad Boy in an homage to Christine that probably should have happened three season earlier for his character.” 2021 UPDATE – This review was actually only half-written. I took a few moments to finish it up, based on memory…Read on!Star Trek: Voyager – Season 6: “Alice”
Star Trek: Voyager – Season 6: “Barge of the Dead”
– Three and a Half Badges – “Even death can’t stop the power of a mother’s guilt!” 2020 UPDATE – Twenty-one years later I feel like this episode is the best thing Ron Moore did for Voyager in his brief tenure there, as there had…Read on!Star Trek: Voyager – Season 6: “Barge of the Dead”
Star Trek: Voyager – Season 5: “Juggernaut”
– Three Badges – “Voyager gets the “horror homage” right with a species that should be light years behind them.” 2020 UPDATE – Nah. Looking back, Revulsion is the better Voyager B’Elanna-as-final-girl horror movie. This stab at Toxic Avenger remains less memorable on multiple watches.…Read on!Star Trek: Voyager – Season 5: “Juggernaut”
Star Trek: Voyager – Season 5: “The Fight”
– Two and a Half Badges – “Why won’t they just say that he takes peyote?! Like maybe when he’s on leave? It would make episodes like this so much easier!” 2020 UPDATE – Looks like I had the temerity to act surprised that a…Read on!Star Trek: Voyager – Season 5: “The Fight”
Star Trek: Voyager – Season 5: “Thirty Days”
– Four Badges – “Tom Paris finally gels with a meaningful script.” 2020 UPDATE – Twenty-two years later I’ll admit that this episode doesn’t deserve four badges. I guess I was just excited and generous because I had guessed this development for the character. I’m…Read on!Star Trek: Voyager – Season 5: “Thirty Days”
Star Trek: Voyager – Season 5: “In The Flesh”
– Three Badges – “Chakotay makes it with an alien girl from Species 8472 version 3.0” 2020 UPDATE – So I went WAAAAAYY too easy on the episode that essentially ruined Species 8472 as a unique antagonist, forcing them instead into the mold of an…Read on!Star Trek: Voyager – Season 5: “In The Flesh”
Star Trek: Voyager – Season 4: “Living Witness”
– Three and a Half Badges – “A real museum piece with both “evil Voyager” and something meaningful to say.” 2020 UPDATE – I’ve rewatched Voyager at least three or four times in the last twenty-two years and I still remember nothing about this episode…Read on!Star Trek: Voyager – Season 4: “Living Witness”
Star Trek: Voyager – Season 4: “Unforgettable”
– Two Badges – “Better to have loved and lost, than to have loved and lost and loved and lost.” 2020 UPDATE – I’ve rewatched Voyager at least three or four times in the last twenty-two years and I still remember nothing about this episode…Read on!Star Trek: Voyager – Season 4: “Unforgettable”
