Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1Audience Rating: NR (Not Rated) Binding: DVD EAN: 0097360508048 Format: Box set, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, DVD-Video, Full Screen, NTSC Label: Paramount Languages: Manufacturer: Paramount MPN: D050804D Number Of Items: 7 Publisher: Paramount Region Code: 1 Release Date: September 28, 2004 Running Time: 1193 minutes Studio: Paramount Theatrical Release Date: January 16, 1995 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: For many fans, Voyager hit its peak in the fourth season, due in no small part to a certain former Borg drone named Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 0-1, but you can call her Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). Following the season 3 cliffhanger "Scorpion," the crew enters an unlikely alliance with the Borg against Species 8472, led by Seven of Nine, who ends up restoring (mostly) her human roots and trying to assimilate herself among Voyager's crew all the time feeling the pull of the Collective and resisting the mother-hen attempts of Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew). While Seven's curvaceous figure and skin-tight uniform certainly won over many fans, she was helped by a commanding presence, good writing ("So you wish to copulate?" was a classic line), and a stage that was cleared for her by the coinciding departure of one of the most prominent characters of the series. Other significant developments of the season included the actors' getting to stretch themselves out "Mirror, Mirror"-like as evil counterparts in "Living Witness" (also Tim Russ's directing debut), the time- and mind-bending two-parter "Year of Hell," a battle with 1940s Nazis in the two-part "The Killing Game," the Doctor's comedic sparring with a new rival in "Message in a Bottle," the Alien-like "Prey," and Tom Paris (Robert Duncan MacNeill) taking a personal step and switching bodies with an alien in "Vis a Vis." The DVD set offers the usual 20-minute season overview, crew profiles of Seven of Nine (natch) and Harry Kim (both of whom show warm appreciation for the Trek crowd), features on Species 8472 and the art of matte painting, and episode spotlights. --David Horiuchi Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great series for non trekkiesGreat 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:  - A dramatic improvement over the first three seasonsAfter three initial seasons that were disappointing given the tremendous potential that the show initially displayed, Season Four was on nearly every level a great improvement. The reasons were mainly threefold: a slight increase in a serial rather than episodic approach to the narrative, a sharp improvement in the overall writing, and Jeri Ryan's Seven of Nine. Although the premise of the series would have seemed to demand a serial narrative, for three seasons the show doggedly persisted ... Read More Rating: - Has the resources of the Borg Collective AND looks good in a jumpsuit: Seven of Nine joins "Voyager"A mostly solid batch of "Voyager" episodes, bolstered by the addition of ex-Borg "Seven of Nine" to the show's roster of characters. In the special features (always quite varied and generous in these Trek boxed sets), it's fun to watch the producers tell us with a straight face that Seven's sex appeal factor had little to do with what they were trying to accomplish when they created the character. Then you see the, uh... extremely fit Jeri Ryan in her Seven of Nine jumpsuit and say, "yeah, right". But, ...

This season is what caught the attention of a fith grader and made him sith still for a full hour every night almost religously! Now dont get me wrong, this show is by no means for kids. It can be graphic and violent and, to tell you the truth, just plain disturbing with some of the themes, but that makes for a very engaging show. I have enjoyed it for years and i hope that you will too! Rating: - Note to Paramount: no sane person is going to pay more than $60 for a DVD set, ever!Wake up Paramount! Take a cue from your sales on the STTNG sets. Now that you have finally come to your senses and dropped the prices on the sets to where they should have been in the FIRST PLACE, I would imagine that all of the hold-outs (like me) are now buying them. See, it works like this, 30 minute shows on DVD, for a season, have earned a fair market price of $25-35. So, since Star Trek episodes are an hour long, that means a fair doubling of the price puts it into the $50-70 range. So, ... Read More |
