Better and better., October 22, 2005
More than any other Trek series, Voyager had a steady improvement in quality as it moved in to it's later season, particularly after season 4. Season Six is truly excellent, some of the best of Voyager. The season picks up where the previous left off, with the conclusion to the much underrated Equinox, which really tests the crew's devotion to principle, as the actions of a renegade Starfleet crew result in Voyager being the victim of attack by extra-dimensional entities.
Barge of the Dead is a quirky look at the Klingon afterlife, and while not being remarkable, it's still a worthwhile episode.
Tenker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy is one of the highlights of the season, as hostile aliens tap in to the Doctors daydreams, where he is the most intelligent, important, and all around greatest crew member. Easily one of the funniest Trek episodes ever.
Alice gives us Tom Paris obsessing over an old shuttle, much in the way modern day car guys do with cars.
Dragons Teeth give us a memorable species, the Vaadwaur, who had been in cryogenic suspension for 1000 years.
the Voyager Conspiracy is an episode of paranoia and second guessing, as Seven thinks that the rpesence of Voyager in the Delta Quadrant is no accident.
Pathfinder features guest appearances by Lt. Barclay and Counselor Troi, who become involved in a project to try and establish contact with Voyager via a radical application of subspace radio.
Fair Haven gives us the memorable holodeck town of the same name, a 19th century Irish town where the crew can unwind amidst absurd situations.
Blink of an Eye has been called one of the most fascinating episodes in Trek history, and that is no understatement. Voyager becomes trapped in orbit of a planet where time moves faster than the rest of the galaxy, and as a result, their society becomes centered around the "sky ship", which they marvel over for thousands of years.
Virtuoso is another great Doctor episode, in which he becomes a superstar of a society that has no concept of music.
Collective features the Voager crew adopting a group of Borg children, abandoned by the collective.
Good Shepherd is Voyagers' "Lower Decks", the famous TNG episode which examined the life of junior officers on the Enterprise. Captain JAneway takes a group of udneracheivers on a Delta Flyer mission where they encounter an unusual alien entity.
Live Fast and Prosper is another great comedic episode, in which a small group of con artists masquerade as the Voyager crew in order to pursue illicit transactions.
Muse involves B'ellana crashing on an M Class world inhabited by a humanoid species who have a society similar to ancient Greece, and B'ellana is mistaken for a goddess by a poet, who sees her as a muse.
Life Line is yet another Doctor episode, and features Barclay and Deanna once more, as well as the designer of the Doctors holomatrix, who is dying of a degenerative illness.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Season 6--Still Building to the Finale, October 10, 2004
Season 6 seemed to be the dénoument to this series. It was consistently good overall. My favorite episode had to "Dragon's Teeth" where Janeway and crew discover these old transwarp conduits that could get them home faster only to discover that there are hostile forces claiming these conduits and if Voyager does not leave and forget these, they would destroy the ship. Instead, Janeway tests their mettle and her ship winds up taking some damage and the crew winds up taking refuge on a planet whose people built these conduits and used them to control this part of the galaxy with an iron fist until the peoples they conquered rose up and destroyed them. Down underneath the planet's surface, Janeway and crew find some of the survivors of that race only to find that these guys are worse than the pirates they were hiding from. Once again, Janeway's gotta make a choice, either deal with the baddies from below or the pirates from above. Eventually, the baddies and the pirates wind up fighting each other instead of pursuing Voyager.
For added humor, there "Tinker, Tenor, Soldier, Spy" where the doctor enables a dream program and a plucky bureaucrat from an alien ship tries to use these dreams to control the doctor--only to find out that what he was seeing was the doctor's dreams. It's almost as funny as the episode where the doctor becomes a musical sensation or when he hides out in 7 of 9's cortical implants and winds up taking over her body and personality. Sometimes he provided the necessary levity where everything else seemed grim for Voyager.
"Muse" is also another good episode as well, as Torres and Kim are stranded on a planet when their shuttle crashes. Torres is befriended by a playwright who basically uses her stories--the stories about Voyager--to write new plays where we see these people re-enact the journey from the time that the Caretaker removed both Voyager and the Macquis ship from the Badlands to the Delta Quadrant.
The season begain with "Equinox" where Voyager encounters another starfleet ship brought into the Delta Quadrant. Once again, the crew is tempted to use what that ship is using for power to get home with, but once it is discovered that the captain of that ship is killing off a race of creatures and using their bodies for the power, this leaves Janeway and crew distressed, especially when these creatures attack Voyager with the intent to destroy it for what Equinox is doing.
Then there is "Child's Play" where we discover the back story behind Ichib, one of the Borg Children rescued from a failing cube. Turns out his family genetically engineered him to infect the Collective and destroy the Borg ships from the inside. After Janeway returns him to his family, his father sends him off again to infect another Borg ship and Janeway must rescue him again and make him a member of the Voyager crew.
Of course one must also discuss "Pathfinder" and the mission that both Barclay and Admiral Paris undertake to establish communications with Janeway and crew in the Delta Quadrant. Especially now that the admiral wants to contact his son.
Overall, this season was a typical Voyager season--beginning with a cliffhanger where Voyager was facing destruction in the Delta Quadrant at the hands of someone else, only to end in another cliffhanger where Janeway and crew need to improvise again to figure out a way to survive the Delta Quadrant.
