Just wondering how many own it, which seasons you own, and which seasons are the best.
At $100 a season, any imput would be helpful in determining future purchasing decisions...

What? Voyager too warm and fuzzy for you battle-hardened types?

You can get all 7 seasons for very cheap off ebay from Asia. Same with the other Star Trek series

I have most of them taped when it was on Space (it's on again, Space loves all Trek) I'm missing a few not realizing I had but they can be taped. They're in order so I don't have to worry about what's where. My favorite has turned out to be Muse, but that may be because I'm a gid Belanna fan (7of9 can put her rack on the shelf, I hated her when she came on and how they put her and a certain first officer together, wish they'd just let her stay with the damn Borg)

Hope that answers your question Chris.

People at FUX are absolute petach.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

Well, I own none of them, but I would say to save your money and not get season seven because of the aforementioned hook-up between 7of9 He-Who-Manages-to-Have-Less-Emotions-Than-a-Vulcan (*cough*Chakotay*cough*). That, and "Endgame". I declared my own personal war against "Endgame" when I saw it. I hate AdmiralKate.

On the other hand, it does have Q2...

Overall, I think my favorite seasons were 3, 4, and 5. They contain almost all of my favorite episodes. Season three was when the shoe started to get good. Season four and five were just plain shiny.

But that's just my opinion...

I agree with you on all points Arcadia except a few. Though people think it's wrong to bring a baby into the story I liked that arc for Belanna and Paris, (plus you know after that there was NO way he was gonna be able to stray. Not if he wanted to have fun with a woman again) I think those two were the best pairing in The trek Verse. Some may argue but Paris's calm, cool, and over-optimistic behavior countered well to Belanna's.... well Klingon side. And when it came down to it he held his own when her temper showed. I was against it at first but then it grew on me and they became some of my favorite characters.

The ones that had to really grow on me was Neelix, Harry, The Doctor... and well that's it. I hated Kess, too soft spoken and hardly ever emoted anything above a whisper. And DON'T get me started on T&A... I mean 7 of 9. You know why she was brought in? The same reason there's a randy big breasted vulcan on Enterprise. No wonder Kate Mulgrew was angry when the stories began to revolve around those... I mean her.

Loved Jayneway from the start (why on earth do people bash her? The writing may not have been on parr but she made the scripts into what she could) And dammit she could actually convey more than one emotion. And any Captain who goes on away missions THEMSELVES are more intersting to me. Why the hell have a Captain if all he's going to do is stay on the ship and ask whats wrong when there's trouble planetside? K guesse you can see I'm not the greatest fan of TNG, it has it's episodes, and if I've a mind I'll watch it (turning it back and forth if another show is on) but I think you can see where my choice lies. And Jayneway is what I've always described as Kirk in a skirt. She can hold her own against anyone she comes across and she won't waste time negotiating if she knows it's not going to get results. Frankly it's refreshing to see a Captain again who asks quetions once and then shoots, not goes on and on and on.... sorry, sore spot? Besides which, I don't think Picard would look good in that pink nightgown. And admit it, the chemistry between her and Q was as good as it was with Picard, but on a whole different (sexual) level. At one point she even looked like she was considering it

I loved seeing a Vulcan again, and one close to how I expect them to behave. Mind you the actor maybe was a little robotic at times, but then so was Nimoy. I truly think they worked together as well as Kirk and Spock.

And as for Chakotay? Well he's right up there with Mal, Jayne, Wash, Superman(Chris Reeve), Luke (walker if you please) and a few others in my giddy little fangirldom. I mean when he smiles..... makes me want to go on a spiritual quest and... well.....

And except for DS9 I rarely saw anyone in the (new) Trek Verse argue and even disagree with each other. Hell Jayneway and Chakotay fight so many times I wonder how they get on so well. Even Harry at one point told her off, on her bridge, and the best is when Belanna's arguring with everyone and they're half frightened she's going to turn on them and beat them to death. It's not perfect on their little ship. It may seem that way but when in comparison to TNG (yes again) they're downright mutinous.

Which is why of all the Crews I think Voyager would be the one to at least give Serenity notice. Remember half of Voyagers crew are Maquis (many of them criminals) I think she'd be more open to talking to them.

And oh, imagine what Tuvok could do for River. A little mind meld and he could probably partially stabalize that brain of hers. He did it for that Betazoid murderer. (course the consequence was rather frightening.) Wonder what River's brain would do to a Vulcan with superior strength? I can see it now;

TUVOK looking unstable and half mad: I must take Voyager to Miranda, the people must know what the Federation has done....

RIVER, contemplating the Vulcan as she stands over him in a dancelike pose: With all due respect commander your being illogical and not making sense, it was the Alliance who di

Wow, Misstressahara, your love of Voyager makes up for your dislike of Buffy

I'd almost forgotten how much I like the show until recently, when I got the Borg and Time-travel Fan Collectives. Suddenly, Janeway is upon me again, and I finally saw the finale that I somehow missed alltogether when it was broadcast. Time-paradoxes aside, it was good to see them get home.

And I wasn't loopy over T&A, er, I mean 7 of 9, like most of my friends, but I did see her as a definite improvement over Kess.

But it was Kate's show.
Can you imagine how crappy it would have been if they hadn't fired Genevive Bujould (SP?), that bad french actress?

My biggest peeve about the series is the same for most Trek; everybody speaks standard American english, no matter how far out in the galaxy you go (yeah, yeah, universal translator and such, whatever...).

And the Doctor had me in stitches...

Thanks, Arcadia, for the review. I remember being lukewarm on the series until they offed Kess (very Joss-like, cool!), and suddenly all these shiny Borg episodes came about...

And I liked that family feel that never seemed as apparent to me in the other Trek series.

Always prefered season 6 and whatever season it was that had the Hirojen (sp?) soldiers taking over voyager for a double episode. Season 6 just felt a little darker to me than the others... says more about my twisted mind than anything else.

I considered investing in Voyager but I think owning all of DS9 is probably as much as I can afford. In my, admittedly controversial, opinion... DS9 was always the best Trek!
