Voyager returns to Earth!, August 22, 2000
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 51: Future's End Part II [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Janeway and crew start where they left off in episode one, desperately trying to find a 29th Century timeship that has forced Voyager to be transported to Earth in the late 20th Century. It's great to see the Voyager crew running around on Earth, reminding me a lot of the Star Trek IV movie. The plot has plenty of twists in it and runs a lot faster then the first episode. There are some great scenes with Tuvok trying to pretend to be human and a good solid ending where everything turns out fine but Voyager is STILL in the Delta Quadrant after all is said and done.

Voyager's turn to do the time warp (again), circa 1996, September 29, 2003
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 51: Future's End Part II [VHS] (VHS Tape)
There is a recap of Part I of "Future's End" at the start of "Star Trek: Voyager," Episode 51, "Future's End Part II" (Written by Brannon Braga & Joe Menosky, Aired: November 13, 1996), but it is really hard to try and summarize everything that happened. Fortunately there is no reason for anybody to watch Part II without watching Part I. Suffice it to say that the "Voyager" crew is back in the 20th-century where computer mogul Henry Starling (Ed Begley, Jr.) has come into possession of a timeship from the future future (in other words from the 29th century, which is the future for the "Voyager" crew as well). This will make billions for Starling and, incidentally, destroy the time line and life as we know it in the Star Trek universe. Starling has also downloaded the EMH into his computer and has provided the Doctor (Robert Picardo) with a 29th-century portable holo-emitter that allows him to appear in places not equipped with holographic emitters. Starling wants to travel to the future to steal more advanced technology. Of course, Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the crew are trying to get both the Doctor and the timeship back, at which point returning to their own time would be a really good idea. The convoluted set up for this episode was pretty good, but I think it is pretty much impossible to come up with a payoff that is equal to the task. However, I do find the idea of a Temporal Prime Directive to be a nice ironic touch and the episode will have some long term significant consequences for one of the "Voyager" crew.

One of the Better Star Trek: Voyager Time Travel Episodes, January 15, 2009
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 51: Future's End Part II [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I always wanted to pick this one up. A time ship arrives and starts blasting at Voyager. Why? Because in some future time, Voyager will cause the destruction of the Solar System. Janeway fights back, doesn't buy it, but gets sucked into a 'temporal anomaly' and there's our adventure.
Tom Paris, romantic and Bond-like. The time ship captain stuck on Earth for 30 years -- not only is he a homeless person, he had to relive the Disco craze!!
The holo emitter and other such gadgets are introduced here as well as the realization that this incident started the microcomputer evolution -- oh my.
This VHS tape does not come across well with HDTV screens -- time for a DVD upgrade, I'm afraid.
Better:
Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Second Season
Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Seasons 1-7 (get the whole darn thing)
