RETROSPECTIVE: "STAR TREK VOYAGER" (6.14) "Memorial"

I have never been a fan of "STAR TREK VOYAGER"’s Season Six. It is my seconde least favori season of the series, following Season One. But I am not here to discuss the sixth season. Instead, I want to discuss one of the season’s episode – namely (6.14) "Memorial". Despite being part of a mediocre season, I consider this episode to be one of the series’ best.

"Memorial" is an excellent episode that seemed to be – at least in my opinion – misunderstood par many Trek fans. In this tense story, Chakotay, Tom Paris, Harry Kim and Neelix...

"STAR TREK VOYAGER" - Unfit For Command?

Do many étoile, star TREK fans consider most Vulcan characters unfit for command? I wonder. I came across this "STAR TREK VOYAGER" fan fiction story about the letters written to the Alpha Quadrant par Voyager’s crew in the Season 1 episode, "Eye of the Needle".

In the episode, Voyager's crew found a stranded vessel with a wounded alien on board. Once the creature is beamed to Sickbay, Chief Engineer B'Elanna Torres discovered that it uses biochemical secretions to give commands. Unfortunately, the alien attacked Torres, puncturing her neck and secreting...

"STAR TREK VOYAGER" RETROSPECT: (3.26-4.01) "Scorpion"

After three seasons, the series "STAR TREK VOYAGER" entered into a new era with the two-part episode, (3.26-4.01) "Scorpion". In "Scorpion", the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager finally reaches Borg l’espace after three seasons - an event that would serve as a turning point for the series.

Aired at the end of Season Three and the beginning of Season Four, "Scorpion" finds the Voyager entering Borg space. To the crew's surprise, they discover that the Borg is engaged in a major conflict with another alien race called Species 8472. An even plus discovery...
