Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Investigations
In the late 80s and early 90s there was this trend that I like to call “the camcorder episode” and almost every show did it regardless of genre. A camcorder episode was either entirely
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Lifesigns
Hooray, a Doctor-centric episode! So far in the series the Doctor has been – to my mind – the most dynamic and genuinely interesting character on the show. He has shown the most range,
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Death Wish
I suppose I should start this discussion with a confession: I think Q is the worst recurring character on Star Trek. I know there will be many in the Trek fandom that disagree with
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Dreadnaught
I find it interesting that the B'Elanna-centric episodes thus-far in the series have tended to have actress Roxanne Dawson act against either herself or an emotionless blank slate. I suppose one could argue that every
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Meld
After the ill-conceived cluster that was Threshold, Voyager serves up a truly great episode in Meld. In complete contrast to the previous episode Meld is well written, well-acted and tells a story with real consequences
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Threshold
So now we come to Threshold. This episode is considered by many fans to be the worst episode of Star Trek, not just Voyager mind you – but the entire franchise. This is simply
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Alliances
Alliances is an episode that packs several great ideas into it and, as is becoming typical of Voyager as a whole, fails to adequately follow through on any of them. That is not to
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Prototype
Robots are used in science fiction stories in some pretty standard ways. One as a stand-in for humanity itself, a way to question what it means to be alive - what life really is
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Resistance
The interesting thing about Resistance is that it could be a completely different show. This in and of itself is not uncommon for Star Trek - or sci-fi in general for that matter. The
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Maneuvers
So I imagine the pitch meeting for this episode went something like this: In the writers room, around a long table, sat several glum and despondent writers desperate for ideas to enliven a plodding
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Cold Fire
As I sat and watched Cold Fire I couldn’t help but notice something wasn’t quite right. It wasn’t that this was a bad episode; in fact it had some really good moments and some compelling
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Tattoo
Sometimes an episode means well. It’s hard to criticize something that has its heart in the right place. Still, that can only carry an episode so far. Its flaws, if there are many, will overpower
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Persistence of Vision
Finally, a good episode. Not a great episode mind you, but an entertaining one. And at this point in the second season I'll take entertaining over pretty much anything. I'll admit I was tempted to
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Parturition
This episode is terrible. Look, there is no reason to sugar coat it. As much as I want to find a redemptive reading in these episodes there is just nothing here. This is a cliched
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Twisted
Let's face it, season 2 has been a struggle. The stories thus far have been mediocre to just plain bad; with Twisted we finally get something a little better. Not too much better, mind you,
Delta Redux: A Voyager Rewatch: Non Sequitur
Okay, I'll come right out and say it, this is not a good episode. It's not bad, it's just not good. And this has been the season so far, except for a couple of stand-out
A Voyager Rewatch. Every episode (for as long as we can take it)
