Amazon.co.uk Review
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

DVD Description
Following the stunning conclusion of Janeway's deal with the Borg in "Scorpion", look out for these choice Voyager Season 4 episodes:

  • In The Raven, crew newcomer Seven of Nine relives the terror of her assimilation as a six-year-old girl
  • The feature-length The Year of Hell sees Janeway's crew and ship decimated and reduced to one last suicide attempt to prevent time-shifting mass-murderers
  • The Doctor meets his successor, the prissy EMH-2 in Message in a Bottle
  • In the feature-length The Killing Game, the crew are forced to play deadly war-games by Hirogen Hunters who have over-run Voyager

5.0 out of 5 stars Voyager just get better, 26 Feb 2005
By Graham S. Applin "grahamapplin129" (Hampshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having been collecting Voyager on DVD since its release, series four is the season when the programme came into its own. In retrospect the ditching of Kes for Seven of Nine was a masterstroke and simply gave fresh impetus, direction and interest not just to its look but also to the writing. There is not a single weak episode in season four but stand out episodes such as The Gift, Revuslion, Year of Hell, Mortal Coil, The Omega Directive and One contain intelligent writing, brilliant performances and iconic images which are worthy to stand alongside the best of Trek. It makes one realise now why Enterprise has been such a let down. Voyager is my favorite Trek franchise because it combines the best of what had gone before and breaks new ground. It did not always reach the consistent heights of this season and the finale was a let down but season four is one of the best. The special features are also well thought out and attractively presented. Respect to all concerned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goodbye Kes - Hello Boys!, 30 Oct 2007
By Jimmy Lovesey (Cardiff, South Wales) - See all my reviews
Season 4 of Voyager warps into action with its first episode - "Scorpion, Part 2". As well as being a satisfying and exciting conclusion to the Season 3 cliffhanger, it also introduces us to a new character - Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct to Unimatrix Zero-One... you can call her Seven (inaccurate, but acceptable!). Seven is the new regular this season, replacing Ocampan Kes (who is written out in a slightly hurried and absolutely ridiculous fashion in the second episode "The Gift"). Sorry to have spoilt it for anyone who was unaware of this development... but come on, you must have been living under Kirk's rock the last few decades if you didn't already know, and besides which the opening titles for the very first episode include a credit for Jeri Ryan, and not for Jennifer Lien. Seven's introduction as a Borg Drone is completely at odds with everything we know about the Borg species - Drones are emotionless, visibly genderless, speak in a modulated way that they sound like every other drone, and generally act merely as a tool for the collective - Seven displays many emotions, speaks in a normal, unmodulated voice, and has thonking great breasts! But we don't care because she's so entertaining! After she is liberated from the collective in the first episode, the second episode (as well as getting rid of Kes) basically focuses on the Doctor removing her implants etc, so she looks more human, while the rest of the crew try to convince her how great being an individual is. Luckily for the viewer, she doesn't just roll over and happily accept individuality within an episode or 2 (as one would expect from Star Trek), but she has a very difficult time coming to terms with it over the course of the season. In the earlier episodes she very actively wants to be back with the collective, and in the 6th episode, "The Raven", she is very near to being re-assimilated, while later episodes focus more on her inability to deal with social situations, or to adhere to the chain of command within the ship.

Aside from Seven, this season as a whole is a very strong one again, in fact, even stronger than season 3. After "The Gift", third episode "Day of Honor" is only okay, but from then on its another incredible run of episodes, in fact, only two episodes stop it from being a home run to the season finale. The two episodes that don't quite make the grade - episode 12 "Mortal Coil", in which Neelix dies and is resurrected, and episode 22 "Unforgettable", in which Chakotay falls in love with a woman who he is unable to remember, - are far from awful (as, say, Season 3's "Favorite Son" is), but are uninspiring and poorly executed. Before we get to "Mortal Coil", we have "Nemesis", where Chakotay is brainwashed into fighting for an alien army, "Revulsion", where B'Elanna is stalked by a hygiene-crazed hologram who wants to rid the galaxy of biological life forms, the aforementioned "The Raven", "Scientific Method", where invisible aliens construct secret experiments on the crew, the "Year of Hell" two parter, "Random Thoughts", where B'Elanna is convicted of having a bad thought, and "Concerning Flight", a wonderfully whimsical episode where Janeway has to recover stolen Voyager technology with the aide of her holographical Leonardo Da Vinvci , thanks to the Doctor's mobile emitter.

The "Year of Hell" two-parter is absolutely stunning. In my opinion it's the best two-parter Star Trek has ever had. It spans a whole year as Voyager traverses Krenim Space, whilst in conflict with the said species. Voyager takes a right battering over the year due to the Krenim being in posession of a temporal weapon - so they can keep re-writing history in their favour. Thanks to the efforts of Paris and Chakotay who are on the Krenim ship, history is put back on its right course and the threat from the Krenim species is no longer there. Yes, this is a bit of a reset button, but there was no other way Voyage could tell a story like this without some sort of `reset button' without a complete overhauling of the series' format!

We then have "Waking Moments", where the crew encounter an alien species in their dreams, "Message in a Bottle", where the Doctor is sent through a data stream to the alpha quadrant, and has to regain control of a federation ship from the Romulans, "Hunters", in which the alien race the Hirogen are introduced, "Prey", where the crew have to team up with a Hirogen to fight 8472, "Retrospect", where Seven uncovers a hidden memory of being abused, "The Killing Game" parts 1&2, where the Hirogen take over Voyager and use its Holodecks to simulate various combat scenarios, with the crew as the prey, "Vis a Vis", where an alien takes over Tom's body, "The Omega Directive", where the crew discover a deposit of rare substance Omega - that the Borg hail as perfection, "Living Witness", where a backup version of the Doctor is activated hundreds of years after Voyager's time in the delta quadrant - and has to correct their inaccurate version of history that casts the Voyager crew as villains, "Demon", where the ship lands on a planet that contains a substance with the ability to mimic anyone or anything, and "One", where the crew is put in stasis and Seven has to run the ship sngle-handed. The final episode, "Hope and Fear" is surprisingly not a cliffhanger, but is in itself a fantastic season finale.

Overall Season 4 of Voyager is a great collection of Science Fiction adventures, and honestly, if you were only going to buy one season, I'd recommend this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, 5 Sep 2005
By A Customer
Although I was a little disappointed with Voyager in the first few seasons, I still found it very enjoyable to watch.

My main problem is to do with writers ignoring what you would think to be the biggest issues in Voyager's unique situation. Being cut-off from aid and supplies, I was expecting the ship to loose many of it's systems/technology from fire fights and lack of power. But each episode, we see Voyager looking brand-new and fully functional.

It would be much better if, say for example, the shield generators were badly damaged and couldn't be used again until they could find replacements via trade or something. Their ability to repair anything at any time just detracted from the fact that they were supposed to be in a harsh situation.

Also the whole Maquis thing was hardly touched upon except in the first season. We are supposed to believe that they are all getting along fine now, since the crew agree with every decision that is made, without any internal conflict. Some great stories could have come from this, but alas, it was not to be...

I think that this season realised they hadn't done what was expected, so just admitted that and did much bigger and better stories, without worrying too much about the being cut-off aspect of the show or the crew conflict side, unless a particular story required it.

So with that, we are introduced to new character 7 of 9 and lose the lovable Kes. The Borg also play a much bigger role this season, although they don't seem as deadly as The Next Generation's Borg. 7 of 9 has this uncanny ability to solve just about any of Voyager's problems with [insert Borg technology here] or by recalibrating [insert modified technology here], which can become tiresome at times. But the sci-fi story is still fun to watch, if somewhat unbelievable.

I would have thought that Voyager would become a much deeper and complex show, but has in fact become more fluffy, but in an enjoyable way. No where near as good as Deep Space Nine, but worth seeing if the long story arcs of DS9 are a little too ming boggling for you. Voyager is just no-brainer fun!
