 - All good things...The episodes and other details have been covered elsewhere. I would just like to point out a few things: I'm a huge fan of this series and the previous ones with the exception of DS9, which is plain boring. I love ST Voyager, the first 4 seasons were fantastic, but... enough is enough. I'm sick and tired of the producers' political correctness and pedantry. How many times do we need to hear about "humanity", "individuality", "holo-rights" etc etc etc? These issues have been explored extensively both in the first 4-5 seasons of the series and in Star Trek:The Next Generation. Even in the 6th season, Janeway sacrificed the crew's privileges and their opportunity to communicate with their loved-ones at home just to let the Doctor with the inferiority complex to prove himself worthy of his "holo-humanity" once again. Also, Janeway's exaggerated "compassion" would probably make Jesus to freak out. They also made the mistake of over-showing the Borg. One of the reasons why the Borg were so succesful is because they were kept in the dark, full of evil power and mystery. Now, the Borg have become more common than humanity itself. The Borg Queen has lost her fatal and dark power. She's just another petty alien, trying to survive. Alas, Janeway won't let her. In this respect, Janeway's arrogance is unprecedented! Alice Krige was great (and so was Kate Mulgrew), but that is not enough to save the day. What happened? Did the producers get bored with their own creation? Because that's what it feels like. Knowing when to begin and when to stop is wisdom. All good things... in moderation, please. And remember, we still love Star Trek. Rating:  - gooses reviewThe first thing you see when you get this box set is how bad the box is especially compared with the packaging for the original series. If you only have enough money to get one season of voyager you would probably want to get season 3 instead. It has the most supporters and you can argue the most original ideas. The highlights of this season include the last episode called "endgame" because there are some good simulated space battles, "author, author" because it was more humorus and went back to the roots of making episodes haphazardly and at the whim of writers, "flesh and blood" also because there was a decent amount of fighting and combat, "the void" which seemed interesting because the captin although portrayed as trying to be the enlightned person who rises above the masses comes off more as a lunitic who has gone mad with power, and also barely making the list "imperfection" because the security chiefs acting is rather interesting in this episode. Most of the rest of the episodes dont cut it because instead of focusing on entertaining the audience or telling some kind of story they try to tell some kind of moral that everyone understands anyway. Rating:  - star treck fanI would buy every volum of each Star Treck they put out (Voyager, Deep Space 9 etc.) if only for the price tag. Come on, $100.00 for each season thats been in syndication for how many years? Totally not fair. Will buy when prices come down, a lot. Again I love all of them. They are all entertaining. But the price tag, way too heafty. Rating:  - What moron designed the DVD case?If I wanted to judge the content of these DVDs I'd give it 5 stars, but I cannot tell you how angry I am that these wonderful discs had been packaged in that cheap, non functional, crappy looking piece of transparent plastic thingy no one would ever call a DVD case. I'm astonished that something this pricey would be packaged this way. All I can do is shake my head... Rating: - My ReviewThis is a good season to end voyager but it ends with to much on the time travel/time alteration theme in endgame. The last two epiosdes are good but there is just like an abrupt end to the struggle to get home. Janeway travels back in time to try to change things that caused the journey to take 23 years to complete..we have been through seven and then the show ends. It would have made more sense to re-install the tran warp drive thing and encounter the borg along the way and somehow destroy their trans warp network somehow in another fashion or if species 8472 would have come back wanting to destroy the Borg completely it would have made more sense. Otherwise, the season is better than season six was in my opinion.
