They also make a plan to destroy the hub as it will cripple the Borg, but it may mean having to stay in the Delta Quadrant.

This is a must buy for Voyager fans.

Voyager got of to a shaky start, but the seventh and final season bubbles over with the magic that makes Star Trek the phenomena that it is. The series finally, "End Game I & II" is, for me, the best Star Trek story ever. Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) breaks stereotypes by being a powerful female leader who does not sacrifice her femininity in the process. She can be as diplomatic as Picard or as ruthless as Kirk without missing a beat. Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) discovers her humanity and proves again that women can be both beautiful and powerful. The Doctor (Robert Picardo, a truly gifted actor), who's character is a hologram, adds both comic relief and expands the definition of life itself. Testing the limits of the human potential is what makes Star Trek great and this season of Voyager shows us just how powerful, alluring, and compassionate humanity can be.

This is it. The final season of Star Trek: Voyager. With Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and The Next Generation, the later seasons suffered a little bit in the writing areas due to the writers moving to a new show. Voyager did not have this problem since "Enterprise" didn't premiere until the fall AFTER Voyager ended. The Seventh season employs some of the best writing and storytelling of the entire series. The finale is a great episode, but not perfect. There are two multi-part stories in this season that are absolutely superb. Voyager couldn't go out without bringing back the saboteur Seska for a final hurrah. Dwight Schultz reprises his role as Barclay again, and Marina Sirtis makes an appearance. The Doctor makes a controvertial holonovel. Harry Kim takes his first command and Q returns again. Another great season. Highly recommend it to Star Trek fans and others alike.

I was raised on TOS, it was with excitement that I awaited STNG, as well as STDS. While I enjoyed STNG I accepted it slowly and only because of the characters whom I seemd to connect with. DS9 not so much, it became a soap opera to me and I couldn't follow or relate to the war story line at the time. But then came Voyager. My shining star in the Delta Quadrant. I go against every die hard TOS fan I have ever met when I say this is my all time favorite. Never have I enjoyed a series more, and the last season while peppered with some rather slow stories, ended the way I had always imagagined. Voyagers actors and techincal staff (writers, producers, directors, editors) should be commended for the level of stories that were told throughout it's lifespan. The final season came way to early in my opinion and I think that Paromount is sadly mistaken in it's choice to not use the characters in a motion picture. Give Voyager a chance and revel in it's creative and supremely implemented stories. Go Kathy!

Of all the Star Trek shows ever created, this is by far my favorite. Now that video tape is going out and DVD's are in, we are slowly adding back to our collection. Star Trek Voyager has some enduring characters, The Doctor, Seven Of Nine and Captain Janeway, the one and only female Star ship captain. Many episodes are humorous, some edgy, others revealing man's need to depend on others for survival. If you like science fiction, this is the way to go.

If you're considering buying Season 7 of Voyager you're most likely a fan of the show, so I won't bore you with my opinions of the various episodes except to say that the overwhelming majority were well written with excellent performances by the cast. Speaking of the performances, I really appreciated the extra feautures (especially the commentary of Robert Picardo) as they give fans a brief inside look at the actors and their feelings about their performances and the show itself. The other features about various creation and production aspects of the show were also worth watching.

Season 7 is my first DVD set from Voyager (I'm collecting DS9 and have the first three years). I skipped to season 7 of Voyager as I was overseas during its airing and missed many episodes. It was great to see some 'new' episodes. I enjoyed Voyager 7 so much that I'm putting my DS9 collection on hold am now working backwards on Voyager...next up Season 6.

Star Trek Voyager, in my opinion, is the best Star Trek series. I fell in love with the show about a year ago, when I finally decided to explore the Star Trek phenomenon. I was checking all channels to see when Star Trek was coming on, and Voyager was the first one I saw. I set my Tivo, and that night, I couldn't beleive what I saw. By coincidence, Spike TV was beggining the cycle again that day, and I started with Caretaker. I watched every single episode since then. A few months later, Spike's three episodes per day schedule had reached season seven. I first knew that season seven was going to be good after "Imperfection," which was the SECOND episode of the season. Actually, first if you don't count Unimatrix Zero Pt 2. That feeling of greatness returned the next day when I watched Drive. That episode told me, "This will be the greatest season so far." I was right. Skipping ahead to Q2, Q's third and final appearance on Voyager. That was when the writing REALLY got good. Heck, they even made an episode ABOUT writing in Author, Author! Every episode past Human Error is a classic, definetly. Endgame is my favorite episode in ALL of Star Trek, not just Voyager. The brilliant writing, magnificent acting, and amazing special effects end my favorite Star Trek series with a bang!

I would buy every volum of each Star Treck they put out (Voyager, Deep Space 9 etc.) if only for the price tag.

Come on, $100.00 for each season thats been in syndication for how many years? Totally not fair. Will buy when prices come down, a lot. Again I love all of them. They are all entertaining. But the price tag, way too heafty.

I rate this five stars b/c good TV is hard to come by. The packaging is downright terrible, but I can watch the show in front of my children and father. I can't do that with any new show, that's for sure. I love science fiction, and I loved Star Trek. Voyager was always the most popular one, and needs to be the outline for future series of Star Trek considerations. It has an organic quality, with impeccable acting.

I know I've said this for Seasons 5 and 6, but we sure focus on episodes around the Doctor and/or Seven this season. Season 7 is kinda weird, in the fact that obviously being the last season, there are things that happen that really throw the crew off course, namely "Workforce I and II" and "Drive". On the plus side for focusing so heavily on those two characters, it's nice to see that we really stretch out their characters, to see just how human a Hologram and a former Borg can be. The best episodes this season include "Unimatrix Zero II," "Imperfection," "Shattered," "Repentance," "The Void," "Q2," "Renaissance Man," and of course the Series Finale "Endgame." To touch on some of this, "Shattered" is a great story, that takes us to various pasts and futures of Voyager, with Commander Chakotay being the only person able to safely traverse the ship. "The Void" continues the story from "Night" in Season 5, but much darker. Q returns with his son in "Q2" and Endgame is masterful piece of work. Sort of like "All Good Things," in a way.
