Star Trek: Voyager

The new entry is more action-oriented and less morally ponderous than the recent Star Trek series. But it still suffers from its predecessors' overdeveloped air of gravitas.

It seems an imaginative improvement over previous sequels "Next Generation" and "Deep Space Nine." [16 Jan 1995]

An impressive, handsomely engineered launch. ... "Voyager" includes all the elements of Roddenberry's original vision: a future full of hope, curiosity, wonder and respect for all cultures; sexual and racial (and for that matter, species) equality, embodied in a diverse but largely harmonious crew; and adventures that intrigue rather than lull viewers. [16 Jan 1995]

It efficiently, if unevenly, introduces nine new characters and recaptures some of the sense of wonder that made NBC's 1966-69 original the Holy Writ of screen sci-fi. [16 Jan 1995]

It's still pretty much the same old ride, maybe a little better than DS-9, as the Trekkers call it, not quite as good as Next Generation. [16 Jan 1995]

The cast around Mulgrew is excellent. ... Mulgrew, however, drags it all down. Starfleet commanders are not supposed to be this dull, stiff and joyless. As a woman, she's all cardboard and mannish. [16 Jan 1995]

The cast of Voyager is adequate, despite the rocky start. Maybe after the rushed introduction, the show will slow the pace and allow the characters to evolve at a more natural pace. And while doing that, the writers could stretch their imaginations to where no starship has gone before and deliver something better than rehashed Klingons for villains. [15 Jan 1995]

The last decent Star Trek TV series. Still watch it now. RIP Gene, you were the best.

Nicely done "Period Piece" for the Star Trek timeline for the TV Show series.

A show that starts off mediocre, rollercoasters up quick and flows slowly down into the abyss, you'll find the stories and characters as consistent as that rollercoaster. The acting is passable. The stories are oft humanizing. You will notice that voyager is a pacifist ship, Janeway is a pushover acting in a moral daydream, where 5 minutes of acting with superiority, high and mighty ethics and not shooting the guy that shot you... somehow works out in your favor. Every episode. A show where every roadbump along the way turns into a research expedition, where you'll encounter someone who wants to shoot you for floating into their territory, and despite them nearly destroying voyager, a quick hail, taking of prisoners or just empty threats.. will get you your ship back, a friend and a shortcut of a few years off your journey. The journey wasnt bad, save for a few throwaway episodes that are cringe-tier. More memorable characters, less memorable series than TNG or DS9. Speaking from a 2020 perspective, the series shows only a few signs of 90s cracks. If youre looking for something more 90s-proof, try Stargate SG1. If youre looking for something that wants to take itself seriously but didnt get off the ground, try enterprise.

Alors, c’est Mamie Nova qui gère son entreprise comme une directrice d’école avec le chignon et tout et tout… alors tu comprends, avec elle, y a pas à tortiller, faut que ça vole droit dans cette maisonnée d’abrutis en pyjamas ! Hélas, l’équipage de cancres est toujours en retenue à tenter de noyer le poisson sous une palanchiée de jargon ésotérico-technique à deux crédits… Résultat : le bulletin est catastrophique, on se fait chier comme un rat crevé en apesanteur dans un trou noir spatio-temporel à double parasol. En outre, l’écriture est au ras du plancher, les comédiens sont plus à l’ouest que notre bon vieux Tryphon, les effets ‘spéciaux’ sont limite et limités tandis que de leur côté, la naïveté et la connerie sont ici réglées au maximum.
