They manage to restore the timeline which began this leg of the voyage (or at least close enough) and even provide the captain which a more productive life in the reset universe. Aboard the timeship, Chakotay finally sees the egocentric nature of the captain’s ways. Year of Hell, Part II – A seriously shredded Voyager takes refuge in a nebula (good old nebula!) to enact repairs. Meanwhile, Chakotay and Paris are captured by the “timeship” manipulating history repeatedly. The result is a vast empire “defended” by ships with superior technology to Voyager’s, and months upon months of continuous attacks. Year of Hell, Part I – A race with control over time resets history in a region of space through which Voyager is passing. When Seven finally sees (literally) the reality of the situation on Voyager, it’s almost enough to send her scrabbling back to the collective. Scientific Method – A dark and über-creepy story about aliens who can walk freely among the specimens of various species upon which they experiment. The Raven – Slowly becoming biologically more human, Seven has strange visions composed of memories of her time as a drone mixed with symbolic remembrances of her childhood. The sole survivor is a clearly deranged hologram the whole thing descends into psycho killer mode quickly and, together with “Prototype” serves as a cautionary tale for B’Elanna: Never board an alien ship which is not populated by humanoids. Revulsion – Torres and The Doctor board an alien ship which had sent a distress signal. Nemesis – Not to be confused with the godawful tenth Star Trek movie, “Nemesis” instead tells a strange tale of Chakotay’s informal enlistment into a guerilla war. Day of Honor – B’Elanna plays out the events of the Police song “Any Other Day” except on a starship and involving her refusal to complete a Klingon rite of passage. The last few minutes with Janeway and Kes running down corridors become unintentionally hilarious if you imagine the explosions are a bombardment from the producers trying to get Kes off the damn show already … **ģ. The Gift – Kes is rapidly “changing” and “becoming something else” (namely expendable with the arrival of Seven of Nine), so her psychokinetic abilities are running amok. Naturally, the Borg rapidly renege on the deal (shocker!), but Janeway et al are way too clever to completely trust them. Scorpion, Part II – A Borg drone is assigned to work with Janeway, Tuvok and the Voyager crew, who come up with an ingenious biological weapon to use against Species 8472. The introduction of Seven to the cast also results in the swift ejection of Kes from Star Trek: Voyager, regrettable only in that she didn’t take freakin’ Neelix with her…ġ. the mouthpiece for outsiders to learn human culture. In return, the so-called “Seven of Nine” rapidly begins stealing the show, along with the companionship of the Doctor these two characters essentially become a fragmented Data, i.e. Stealing the drone through whom the Borg communicated with voyager’s crew during the season-opening battle with Species 8472.
#Voyager star trek season 4 series#
Season 4 of Star Trek: Voyager re-launches the series and finally makes it worth watching.This is when Voyager becomes assimilated – not merely by Borg- and Borg technology-centered episodes, but also by the new character Seven of Nine herself. This new energy is also reflected in some incredibly ambitious episodes, such as "Year of Hell," "The Killing Game," "Living Witness," and "One." Plus, the season is able to gather some impressive guest stars including Kurtwood Smith, Tony Todd, Virginia Madsen, and Ray Wise.
Additionally, the series finally finds a compelling villain in the form of the Hirogen who are reminiscent of the Klingons. Janeway and the Doctor make for some of the strongest character dynamics of the show. She fills the Spock/Data role of the outsider commenting on humanity. Seven proves to be the missing ingredient that the show needed to take off, as the character exponentially improves the quality of the storytelling. The Borg take center stage as Voyage finally enters Borg space and gains a Borg crewmember, Seven of Nine. Resistance is futile as Jeri Ryan sexes up Star Trek: Voyager in its fourth season.
