Movie Reviews of Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Seventh Season
Movie Review: Would've been a better season if...
Summary: 3 Stars
they hadn't gone with a Chakotay-Seven romance. UGH! That, and they shouldn't have turned Janeway into a hard whatever. The writers should have had Chakotay plant a big one on Janeway as they entered the Alpha Quadrant. That would've been cool! All us J-C'ers would've been happy then.Movie Review: It Was The Best Of Times
Summary: 5 Stars
I was raised on TOS, it was with excitement that I awaited STNG, as well as STDS. While I enjoyed STNG I accepted it slowly and only because of the characters whom I seemd to connect with. DS9 not so much, it became a soap opera to me and I couldn't follow or relate to the war story line at the time. But then came Voyager. My shining star in the Delta Quadrant. I go against every die hard TOS fan I have ever met when I say this is my all time favorite. Never have I enjoyed a series more, and the last season while peppered with some rather slow stories, ended the way I had always imagagined. Voyagers actors and techincal staff (writers, producers, directors, editors) should be commended for the level of stories that were told throughout it's lifespan. The final season came way to early in my opinion and I think that Paromount is sadly mistaken in it's choice to not use the characters in a motion picture. Give Voyager a chance and revel in it's creative and supremely implemented stories. Go Kathy!Movie Review: Season 7--Voyager Finally Makes It Home
Summary: 5 Stars
Here we are, it is May 2001--September 11th is 4 months away. The America that I grew up with faced an uncertain future as we were not sure where we were heading with this new president who came to office under none of the best circumstances. The dot-com bubble was bursting and people who made money off of it were realizing that this was just all paper to begin with. This is the backdrop of the end of "Star Trek: Voyager" as a TV series. This was the first of the "Star Trek" series where I saw it from beginning to end as it was aired. This was the season where they were going to tie loose ends up.
Communications between Starfleet and Voyager strengthened as Barclay found a way to contact Voyager in the Delta Quadrant. We would find Neelix leaving to stay with a colony of Telaxians in an asteroid field where he would stay with the woman of his dreams and then become the Federation Ambassador to the Delta Quadrant.
As usual, the season began with a cliffhanger as Janeway and crew find themselves needing to outwit the Borg. It even required Janeway, Tuvok and Torres to become assimilated in order to do it. Speaking of Borg, 7 of 9 and Chakotay discovery they have feelings for each other and that might pose problems at the final episode.
The importance of heading home weighs most heavily on Tuvok, when he discovers he has a disease that can only be cured by brain tissue from a member of his family--which would be very simple if they were in the Alpha Quadrant, but not so simple in the Delta Quadrant.
Of course, there is later in the season a pregnant Torres, who winds up giving birth to hers and Paris' first child in the final episode, as Voyager manages her way out of a Borg Ship sent by the Queen to stop Janeway from taking a transwarp conduit home.
At the end, it was great that they ended the series the way that they did--they finally made it home inside a Borg Ship that they wind up destroying from the inside at Wolf-359 in front of a Federation fleet not sure what they would encounter. "Endgame" also displayed Janeway's continuing obsession with finding a way home and that even after she got there, she was finding a way to get her crew home faster in another timeline.
What happened to the crew after they arrived? We know about Janeway--for some reason, Starfleet promoted her to Admiral, where we would see her reprise her role in "Star Trek: Nemesis". She should have faced a court martial and/or a board of inquiry first for getting that ship and that crew lost in the badlands 7 years earlier. Whereas"DS9" seemed sentimental and sappy in its final episode, we find "Voyager" triumphant--destroying the Borg (...or did they?) and getting home in 7 years as opposed to the original 16.
Movie Review: FINAL RESUME
Summary: 3 Stars
The idea was good, the Delta quadrant had potential, and the series were a pass backward of the epic DS9, but however they didn't used it for the rivalry of a better share. The result: a serie that loses in himself. Sometimes weak in its evolution where the Borg become far less dark and dangerous than the previous series, where was used a fully capable Borg as an averaged capable crewmember in some episodes (so fast for my taste), and the worst, where lacks in the previously created universe by ST:DS9(the same fault carried by "Enterprise" about the whole ST historical universe, but that they can still solve. I hope. I prey.)
Anyway If you never saw ST:NG or/and ST:DS9 and you don't want to do it. Then ST:Voyager can be entertaining, otherwise I can't recomend other than ST(for lovers of the old stuff), ST:NG or ST:DS9.
Movie Review: Maybe the best season
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a damn fine season, the final one.
We saw the characters Paris and Torres get married - Torres becomes pregnant.
It seems that Seven of Nine will die, when her 'cortical node' malfunctions, in a sequel to an earlier episode.
We meet Klingons who've been lost in the Delta Quantrant for many, many years (their ancestors before them) and don't know of any treaty between Klingons and Humans.
I thought, when this season was new, that there would be an on-going storyline throughout this season referring to just how the Voyager crew get home. But that's not what happened -- it was all the last episode.
That episode was called "End Game" - which I might buy this box set just for the episode. The episode starts out about 20 years into the future. It's been ten years since Voyager ended it's 16-year voyage home, where too many members of the crew were killed. The captain (now an Admiral) makes a decision to purchase an illegal weapon, along with state-of-the-art shields, and make a voyage to the past -- to bring Voyager home much earlier than the original 16 years. Many argued (including myself) that there should have been a few extra scenes at the end of the episode, but oh well.
This box set comes out 4 days before Christmas, just in time for all those Voyager lovers, huh?
