Star Trek: Voyager Season 7: Difference between revisions

[[Star Trek: Voyager Season 6]]

701: '''Unimatrix Zero Part II''' ''[[2000]] [[October 4]]''

Borg Queen seemed a bit stupid destroying those ships with a few unconnected drones.  Sure she can't feel their presence, but shouldn't they know where they last were?  And couldn't process of elimination (Which drone is moving around that we aren't making move around?) find them out pretty quickly and without so much loss?  Interesting, though, that this was used against Janeway, who would prefer to not even bring harm to drones.

702: '''Imperfection''' ''[[2000]] [[October 11]]''

So there went the little Borglings, leaving them with only Icheb AKA Borg Wesley Crusher, the prodigy teen who wants to work on the bridge and apply to Starfleet Academy.  He's actually a pretty interesting recurring character, though, and well used in this episode.  However, things must be different from now on--he no longer has the role of big brother to play.

703: '''Drive''' ''[[2000]] [[October 18]]''

(First watched 2009-07-04)  I'd been wondering what was taking Paris and Torres so long.  Those silver doubles got hitched more than a year ago.

704: '''Repression''' ''[[2000]] [[October 25]]''

(First watched 2009-07-05)  So the investigator is also the investigatee... fun stuff.  Though I was kind of leaning that way already with all the "hunches" Tuvok had, that the "photonic residue" or whatever bullshit stencil that was in the holodeck looked like him, and that even its pose looked mindmeldy.

705: '''Critical Care''' ''[[2000]] [[November 1]]''

This episode reminds me in some ways of [[Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 3|TNG's The Most Toys]], with an artificial life form being stolen from Starfleet duty and in the end doing more to harm someone than would've been thought possible of him.

706: '''Inside Man''' ''[[2000]] [[November 8]]''

Barclay finding Troi when she's on vacation is a bit [[What About Bob?]]

707: '''Body and Soul''' ''[[2000]] [[November 15]]''

So Tuvok finally has his pon farr problem.  And it's much more tactfully taken care of than in the Doctor's daydream from [[Star Trek: Voyager Season 6|last season]].  Very sweet of Neelix to try to make a soup for Tuvok when he thinks it's the flu--made without any spices, to be as tasteless as possible, just as Tuvok likes it.

708: '''Nightingale''' ''[[2000]] [[November 22]]''

The Icheb B-story was fun.  Having been... something less a drone, it's easier to relate to his fumbling of social situations than the way Seven hammers through everything.

709: '''Flesh and Blood Part I''' ''[[2000]] [[November 29]]''

(First watched 2009-07-10)  Once again the issue of holographic rights comes up, and Janeway wants to take the attitude of "Of course we treat you as equals! as far as it suits us."  Her making ultimatums about them needing to shut down or forcibly be shut down and put off their problems until later... that wouldn't go over well if the situations were reversed.  Can you imagine someone telling Janeway that she'll need to let the crew die for a few hours, but don't worry because with their advanced tech they can revive them in a few hours?

710: '''Flesh and Blood Part II''' ''[[2000]] [[November 29]]''

Voyager hiding in a blind spot seemed a bit silly.  Like the Millenium Falcon hiding with the trash times a hundred.  No Hirogen look out the back window?

711: '''Shattered''' ''[[2001]] [[January 17]]''

Tuvok gets to pull a very small scale "dying Spock".

712: '''Lineage''' ''[[2001]] [[January 24]]''

That holographic representation of a baby was uuugly.  The holographic godfather was beaming, though.

713: '''Repentance''' ''[[2001]] [[January 31]]''

(First watched 2009-07-12)  So this tried to obviously mirror a lot of problems with our justice system.  Certain races getting worse punishment.  The rich being able to get shorter or no punishment.  Questions of mental illness.

714: '''Prophecy''' ''[[2001]] [[February 7]]''

Neelix rooming with Tuvok, and trashing the place with a Klingon woman.  Ahahahaha.

715: '''The Void''' ''[[2001]] [[February 14]]''

Heeey... Fantome's actor was also Hugh?

716: '''Workforce Part I''' ''[[2001]] [[February 21]]''

[[Donny Most]]!

717: '''Workforce Part II''' ''[[2001]] [[February 28]]''

Also, Victor Kiriakis?

718: '''Human Error''' ''[[2001]] [[March 7]]''

Was interesting to see Seven making actual advancements before we learned she was playing Barclay and living out an idealized version of her shipboard life.

719: '''Q2''' ''[[2001]] [[April 11]]''

As a fanboy thing it was neat to see other Qs wearing the "judge" uniform Q did in the first and last episodes of [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|The Next Generation]].

720: '''Author, Author''' ''[[2001]] [[April 18]]''

I like how the story's "Tulak" had a beard.  Evil Vulcans gotta have a beard.

721: '''Friendship One''' ''[[2001]] [[April 25]]''

(First watched 2009-07-22)  Why the Prime Directive is a Good Idea: The Episode

722: '''Natural Law''' ''[[2001]] [[May 2]]''

Not exactly [[Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 5|Darmok]], but their learning of the bits of Ventu sign language was interesting.

723: '''Homestead''' ''[[2001]] [[May 9]]''

So... these Talaxians were about as far from their home as the Klingons earlier in the season.  How long had they been traveling away from Talax?  Or is just another one of those mysterious episodes of amazing speed that the Voyager crew doesn't seem interested about in the slightest.  Oh well.  I guess after running into so many things from the Alpha Quadrant, we can put up with them running into something actually from the Delta Quadrant.

724: '''Renaissance Man''' ''[[2001]] [[May 16]]''

(First watched 2009-07-26)  This episode just goes to show how lucky everyone is that the Doctor is a friendly guy.  When motivated, he can drop the entire senior staff.  AND provide the means for them to come help afterward, even without people seeing through his own eyes being the wiser.

725: '''Endgame I & II''' ''[[2001]] [[May 23]]''

And hey, at the beginning of this season wasn't Captain Janeway disgusted with how their actions to free some drones was causing the deaths of many drones on the ships the Born Queen was destroying?  But this time around nobody seems to give a damn about all the drones on the cubes they blow up, the facility they destroy, or any other that are affected by whatever weird thing Admiral Janeway infected them with.
