Movie Reviews of Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: VOYAGER FINDS ITS WINGS
Summary: 5 Stars
In the STAR TREK Universe of series, the third season historically sets the pace for the most enduring stories of the run of the show. STAR TREK: VOYAGER Season Three doesn't disappoint. Featuring such landmark episodes that eventually lead up to their epic first confrontation with the TREK Universe's most sinister enemies: The Borg.Season Three finally proves that Janeway's crew has the mettle to stand up to any of the other crews in Roddenbery's legacy, even more so since they face the perilous unknown of the Delta Quadrant. This is exactly what was always intended for STAR TREK...a ship out in space, searching the unknown and expanding on the human condition. It never hurt that along the way in Season Three the VOYAGER has some of the most exciting moments in sci-fi adventure ever on television!
Season Three sets the tone for the future of the TREK francise and for the eventual climatic introduction of one of the most intriguing characters ever to appear in any STAR TREK series...prepare for Season Four!
Movie Review: The suggested retail price?!?
Summary: 2 Stars
Please note that my poor rating is directed at the greedy money gluttons at Paramount for a retail price of $129.99! That is double to triple the average cost for a season of a TV show DVD set. I know Voyager had higher production costs than most shows, but come on! The amount of people that would buy it would make up for that. It's exactly because of that fact that they DO know how many folks must have this, that they feel they can get away with charging this much. I walked into Best Buy intent on purchasing this, shook my head in disbelief, and ended up getting season three of Futurama for $40.99 instead (yes, I know it's just a cartoon). I mean, I like the Ferengi but I don't like getting stiffed by Hew-mons acting like them. Kudos to Amazon for selling it for $39.00 less. I'll still probably get a used set here or try and get one cheap on EBay. Did seasons 1 and 2 cost $129.99 when they first came out? I wish that people would send a message to Paramount Home Video by not buying season three (at least not at the full retail price), then just maybe they won't try and charge $149.99 when season four comes out.As for season three itself, as others have stated, I feel the show had finally come into its own. My two favorite episodes are "Worst Case Scenario" and "Scorpion Part 1". Unfortunately by the time season three started most Trek fans had sworn off the show forever (including a few friends of mine that HAD been life long Trek fans) thanks to some very weak and some VERY stupid first and second season episodes.
Movie Review: Season Three is where Voyager went GOOD to GREAT STAR TREK!
Summary: 4 Stars
The first two seasons of Voyager had some great episodes but the show didn't seem to be going anywhere and once season three began, the show started to become old and worn out like the 1960's Enterprise. After the Kazon left the show Voyager started to get better I believe. The series started going on weekly adventures and it was fun. Some of my favorite episodes came out of season three like "Flashback", "Q and the Grey", and "Unity." My most favorites have to be "Blood Fever" where things heat up between Paris and Torres and we learn more about the Vulcan's, also a great Borg episode called "Scorpion, part I" which is considered one of Voyager's greatest episodes. There isn't really any awful episodes in season three but there is a share of weak and very forgettable episodes like "False Profits", "Rise" and a few others. Other then just a few weak episodes, this season was a great season which was the start of a long streak of great Trek seasons. If you like good Sci-Fi get these DVD's!!!Movie Review: Best Series
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 15 years old and i was introduced to the star trek world through Voyager I have a feeling that if it were TNG or DS9 that i had come across that i would not like Star Trek as much as i do now so i strongly suggest that you buy this DVD series becouse as far as i'm concerned Voyager is the best series "Live Long and Prosper"
Movie Review: Voyager From A Guy Who Saw It As It Was Actually Happening
Summary: 4 Stars
Here we are now at season 3. We start out this season with Janeway and crew in the worst possible circumstances--stranded on a planet with only the clothes on their back and no way to send out for help. A few more recurring characters get killed off and even this sets up some future plot lines that will reveal themselves in the next few seasons.This season also gives us another glimpse of the Q Continuum--this time it is viewed as a US Civil War Battlefield. So many variations that they could have done with this. We also get glimpses of what comes next for this wayward crew--the Year Of Hell first appears here as Kes' nightmares. Then there is the first encounters with the Borg--sooner or later, they were going to appear in the story. I liked how they outlined Voyager's first contact with them--on a planet where the inhabitants went underground to escape attacks from above and in the final scene, Chakotay tells Janeway they found out who attacked these people when the find a dead Borg body in one of the mineshaft entrances. One question I have always had, though was whether or not the Dominion had problems with the Borg as well--never did see any assimilated Jem'hadr or Vorta in the Collective.
Eventually, Janeway and crew encounter living Borg, the first ones from a ship that suffered a mishap and the survivors having to cope with life after assimilation fighting each other. Then comes "Scorpion", where Voyager encounters the Collective for the first time and witnesses its next conquest with the Borg going after Species 8472 and that things were not going so well for the Collective. Once again, Janeway tries to strike up another alliance with one of the Delta Quadrant baddies (first time with the Traib in Season 2) and tries to align herself with the Borg--bad mistake.
On the lighter side, there is the episode commemorating the 30th Anniversary of Star Trek, when Tuvok has his flashbacks of his first Starfleet assignment on board the USS Excelsior, commanded by Hikaru Sulu and their activities surrounding the first Kittimer Conference. One other thing to note about this episode is that they also bring back Commander Kang as one of Sulu's favorite nemeses. After that, he only shows up in DS9 as an old man.
