PoorVoyageris probablyStar Treks least loved child overall.

Watch Star Trek: Voyager on Amazon Prime

However,Voyageris my personal favorite series ofStar Trek.

Its purely a matter of personal taste, but some of us actually like episodic television.

Entertaining stinkers in some cases, at least!

AddEx Post Facto, a fairly bland but quite fun episode, if you like whodunnits.

AddBasics Part 2for a great performance (as always) from Brad Dourif.

AddMacrocosmifDie Hardon Voyager with giant bugs, starring Janeway in a vest, is your particular cup of tea.

Season Five:

Drone

Timeless

Counterpoint

Latent Image

Bride Of Chaotica!

The season once again goes out with a strong cliffhanger inEquinox Part 1.

AddMusefor some fun meta-fiction.

As a series, then, it offers conclusions rather than foundations for later series.

Theres still some crossover fun to be had, though.

AddEye Of The Needlefor a rare appearance of a Romulan in the Delta Quadrant.

Voyagers 100th episode features a cameo fromThe Next Generations Levar Burton, who also directed.

AddPersistence Of Visionfor visuals on BElannas sexual fantasies.

Or any reason, really, except to laugh at rather than with it.

AddThe Giftfor the resolution of Kess relationships, andWaking Momentsfor a glimpse into Harry Kims romantic fantasies.

AddCourse: Oblivionfor more romantic scenes.

Maybe even a higher than usual number.

Its a classicVoyagerquote Theres coffee in that nebula!

but that doesnt makeThe Cloudany good.

For some people, addThe Thaw, which isVoyagers equivalent of Marmite.

Its so, so very awful, I think I kinda love it.

It is, in its defense, slightly better thanFavorite Son.

She might as well have been a horror movie character saying Ill be right back.
