Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1Audience Rating: NR (Not Rated) Binding: DVD Brand: Paramount EAN: 0097360507942 Format: Box set, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, DVD-Video, Full Screen, Subtitled, NTSC Label: Paramount Languages: Manufacturer: Paramount MPN: D050794D Number Of Items: 7 Publisher: Paramount Region Code: 1 Release Date: July 06, 2004 Running Time: 1186 minutes Studio: Paramount Theatrical Release Date: January 16, 1995 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: After proving its long-term potential in season 2, Star Trek: Voyager served up some of the best episodes in its entire seven-year history. The second-season cliffhanger was intelligently resolved in "Basics, Pt. II," and the fan-favorite "Flashback" placed Tuvok (Tim Russ) aboard the U.S.S. Excelsior from Star Trek VI, under the command of Capt. Sulu (Star Trek alumnus George Takei). It was a brilliant example of interseries plotting, just as "False Profits" was a Ferengi-based sequel to the NextGen episode "The Price." The two-part time-travel scenario of "Future's End" is a Voyager highlight, with clear echoes (including dialogue lifted verbatim!) of Star Trek's classic "The City on the Edge of Forever," featuring delightful guest performances by actress-comedienne Sarah Silverman and Ed Begley Jr. Character-wise, the season belonged to Kes (Jennifer Lien, whose tenure on the series was now near its end), Neelix (Ethan Phillips), and the Doctor (Robert Picardo), who shined (respectively) in "Warlord," "Fair Trade," and the surprisingly touching "Real Life" (the latter directed by "Potsie" himself, Happy Days veteran Anson Williams). By infecting B'Elanna (Roxanne Dawson) with a fellow officer's "Blood Fever," Voyager delved into the turbulent Vulcan ritual of Pon Farr, while the cliffhanger "Scorpion" introduced the relentless, Borg-destroying villains of Species 8472, which would pose a continuing threat in subsequent episodes. Season 3 had a few clunkers (the guilty pleasure "Macrocosm" puts Janeway in stripped-down "Ripley" mode against invading macro-viruses, and Ensign Kim is an awkward "Favorite Son" to a bevy of babes), but for every misstep there's a strong science-fiction concept, like the highly-evolved Hadrosaurs in "Distant Origin," which doubles as a compelling indictment of institutionalized repression. Overall, this is rock-solid Trek, and the DVD features are equally engaging, albeit growing more perfunctory (especially the season 3 summary) with each full-season release. Don't forget the Easter eggs hidden on the special-features menus, however; they contain some of the set's happiest surprises. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating: - The Continuing VoyagesThe third season of Star Trek: Voyager follows the crew of the USS Voyager on their continuing quest towards home. The season begins with the conclusion to the 2nd season finale Basics, featuring the Kazon. There is a a mid-season jaunt to late 20th century Earth and many other adventures along the way, including involvement in a civil war in the Q continuum. Other familiar aliens include the Vidiians, the Ferengi, . . . and the Borg. Good season with some interesting episodes and ideas to consider. Rating:  - my reviewI followed this series on Television, but not too closely. Needless to say i found some of this series I had not ever seen. So far. I am throughly excited about the series and the character "Captain Katherine Janeway." Rating:  - Great series!Great series. Pretty cheesy, but fun to watch. Not a huge star trek fan. I only got into it because I got sick and watched way too much tv and they re ran voyager pretty often. I enjoy it. Pretty safe for non-trekkies. Rating:  - Another profoundly disappointing seasonFirst, as I write this review this set costs $116.99 (note: since writing this review, the list price has dropped to $69.98 -- let's see if this price drops sticks -- it is still at least $10 too much, so that it could discount to the low $40s). What is Paramount thinking? Do they imagine that fans are so brain-blind that they will pay any amount of money for these DVDs? Honestly, I think any set of DVDs priced this high is immoral. It is a form of extortion: either you pay our utterly outrageous amounts ...

I think the original cast in its final whole season together represents the best work of the series. I think it was a mistake to get rid of Kes(Jennifer Lien) at the beginning of Season 4. I like the Seven of Nine character, but they could have just as easily gotten rid of Neelix. I think the Kes character was not only interesting but ... Read More |
