Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Star Trek: Voyager, the first Trek spin-off to be made without any input at all from Gene Roddenberry, made its debut in 1995 and quickly established itself both as markedly different from cosmic cousin Deep Space Nine and as the successor to The Next Generation. Despite a lack of originality in its premise (Lost in Space anyone?), Voyager has none the less often been a bigger ratings success than any of its predecessors. Catapulted unwittingly to the far-flung Delta Quadrant, the crew of the Federation vessel Voyager must try somehow to get back home. The ghost of Katherine Hepburn lives on in Kate Mulgrew's forceful Captain Janeway, who has an equivocal (does she, doesn't she fancy him?) relationship with first officer and Native American-lite Chakotay (Robert Beltran). Tim Russ gives possibly the franchise's first fully realistic (yawn) portrayal of a Vulcan, and to enhance the alien quotient there is cuddly chef Neelix (Ethan Phillips). Garret Wang must have drawn the short straw for character development, since his Harry Kim is never imbued with any of the drama of rebellious pilot chum Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill), who even gets the series' only romance with the seemingly inescapable resident half-breed B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson).
Until the fourth season, the fan favourite was the straight-funny man role of Robert Picardo's nameless Doctor. Then, with the brave Borg storyline "Scorpion Part 2", a serious improvement in the show's behind-the-scenes thinking introduced actress Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine, who immediately upped sex appeal and viewing numbers. There have been some oddities and errors along the way, such as the disappearance of cast regular Kes, the appearance of semi-regular Naomi Wildman, and various Holodeck obsessions with Leonardo Da Vinci, a smoky bar, and an "Oirish" village. None the less, flashes of brilliance still emerge, while Jerry Goldsmith's graceful theme always opens the show in style. --Paul Tonks
On this tape: The Voyager producer's obsession with stereotypical French and Irish Holodeck stories continue to fill the mid-sixth season. In "Spirit Folk", the inhabitants of Fair Haven become suspicious of Voyager's crew playing God with their lives, but it is over-familiar territory for Trek. In "Ashes to Ashes", the mid-season B-plot stories continue when Harry Kim is given a second chance with his estranged lover whom he believed was dead. In the end, though, life on ship inevitably returns to normal. --Colin Neal
Synopsis
In 'Ashes To Ashes' a crew member who was killed in an attack years ago returns from the dead. 'Spirit Folk' sees Paris and Kim taken captive by a holographic mob.
