Star Trek: Voyager (season 3)
{4.5/5} “I don’t know what happened to you, but there can be any number of explanations: hallucination, telepathic communication from another race, repressed memory, momentary contact with a parallel reality — take your pick. The universe is such a strange place.”
Star Trek: Voyager season 3, aired in 1996-97
When Janeway mind melds with Tuvok she discovers that he once served with Captain Hikaru Sulu aboard the Excelsior. When Voyager is pulled into a temporal rift they end up in 1996 Los Angeles looking for a guy named Starling who has stolen a time ship from the 29th century. Chakotay finds people living on a planet who used to be Borg, and they want his help. Q takes Janeway back to the Continuum where there’s a civil war raging.
Some episodes I remember at least the gist of, but others are like new. Although there are some great episodes, there are also some surprisingly ineffective ones.
Janeway and Chakotay have delightful moments here and there where they show they care about each other. Jennifer Lien does a terrific job portraying a character other than Kes in “Warlord.”
After spending so much time on Kes and Neelix’s relationship, they dropped it suddenly — which was a bit odd. Janeway’s decision to make a deal with the Borg was pretty shocking — Chakotay’s counter-argument was more reasonable.
In “Before and After” Kes finds herself a grandmother — and then starts jumping backward in time. In “Distant Origin” a Voth scientist shows up on Voyager claiming that Voth and humans originated on the same world. In “Worst Case Scenario” B’Elanna finds a holodeck program in which the Maquis take over the ship. In “Scorpion, Part I” Voyager reaches Borg space — but the Borg have other things to worry about, an adversary more powerful than they are.
Guest stars include Ed Begley Jr., Sarah Silverman, Suzie Plakson, and Grace Lee Whitney. The ultimate guest star, George Takei, reprises his role of Sulu from The Original Series.
Stars Robert Picardo, Tim Russ, and Garrett Wang.
This is the 2nd time I’ve watched it.
I previously reviewed season 2.
