    One of my favorites. Currently rewatching the catalog. Just came here to say check out S02E01, it's totally where they got the idea for the television show "Lost."

    This TVs series is a masterpiece. The characters are amazing, funny and loveable. Graphics were amazing when it came out and still enjoyable. Great story and writing and brilliant concept.

    The best Star Trek on screen hands down, of all time. Writing, acting and production are all superb, character development and plot are top-notch, and the series touches on all manner of morally ambiguous subject matter, as relevant today as it was two decades ago.

No other sci-fi series, or 'space drama' even comes close to the perfection that is Star Trek Voyager. Don't miss this one.… Expand

    This is by far the best Space series I ever had the chance to watch. I've been watching the whole series several times. I don't even know how often I actually have seen it but I am still enjoying it. I wish for another Star Trek series made like this where a ship is stranded somewhere faaaaaaar away from the earth and tries to come back. Love Star Trek Voyager. It is just the best of all.

Facing a journey of an estimated seventy-five years the two vessels join forces in the hope they can someday find a way home.

    Rewatching Voyager more than two decades after it first aired the special effects, for the most part, still hold up and it certainly had a host of strong and interesting characters. Like all Star Trek series however Voyager was inconsistent throughout its entire seven season run and that is certainly the case even in this first season. Alongside some fantastically written episodes that could match the very best of television sci-fi viewers were also subjected to a number of forgettable, and sometimes downright awful, episodes.

    In the end despite some clunky dialogue and a number of missed opportunities to push the boundaries a little further Star Trek: Voyager made a worthy addition to the franchise and usually proved to be at least a somewhat entertaining watch.    … Expand

    Not as good as Star Trek TNG but the only spin-off series that I've really been able to get into since TNG was cancelled. Season 1 was kind of weak and the whole time travel/temporal distortion thing was overdone and Janeway annoyed me at first. But even when I watch, Season 1 of my favourite series, Star Trek TNG I see even my favourite shows sometimes have shaky first seasons.

    Janeway grows on you overtime. The Doctor is an interesting character who develops over the entire series. Seven, introduced in later seasons is also an interesting character who brings a lot to the show when she shows up. Tuvok is a typical Vulcan. I don't really like B'Elanna Torres as a Klingon, she is way too soft and emotional, I know she's half human but Worf was raised by humans in TNG and he wasn't so soft. Neelix is alright. Other than that the other characters are somewhat mediocre and don't go through much character development from what I remember. Like all spin-off series, the plot is a lot thinner than TNG (not many sub-plots). Of the spin-off series this is the one that is most similar to TNG and the original series (my two favourites) which is probably why this is the spin-off I like most. 9/10 because I reserved 10/10 for TNG and the original series, but still a decent series to watch.    … Expand

    The new entry is more action-oriented and less morally ponderous than the recent Star Trek series. But it still suffers from its predecessors' overdeveloped air of gravitas.

    It efficiently, if unevenly, introduces nine new characters and recaptures some of the sense of wonder that made NBC's 1966-69 original the Holy Writ of screen sci-fi. [16 Jan 1995]

    The cast around Mulgrew is excellent. ... Mulgrew, however, drags it all down. Starfleet commanders are not supposed to be this dull, stiff and joyless. As a woman, she's all cardboard and mannish. [16 Jan 1995]
