Star Trek: Voyager
This clause mentions suicide .
Star Trek : Voyageris filled with heavy episode , but ten stand out among the rest . Sure , likeevery time of year ofStar Trek : Voyager , there are a few duds in the show ’s 2nd test . However , Kate Mulgrew ’s Captain Janewayand her crew had really set off to off their pace as having a story worth telling by the time ofStar Trek : Voyagerseason 2 , and the ten best episodes are largely examples of how playfulness and weird the show was open of being .
Ofall theStar TrekTV show , Star Trek : Voyagerwas just the quaternary to be made in bouncy - action , so it was under pressure to execute as well as its herald . Although the show is incredibly popular these days , that was n’t always the grammatical case . Thankfully , theStar Trek : Voyagercastwas able-bodied to carry on and terminate the write up on its own full term after 7 seasons . Although the show ’s inaugural run include some strong episodes , Star Trek : Voyagerseason 2 was the beginning of Janeway ’s geological era of the enfranchisement come into its own .
10"Threshold"
Episode 15 is still a cause of much debate among Voyager fans
" Threshold " has earned a bit of a repute over the years for being a somewhat ridiculous episode . As such , Star Trek : Voyagerfans have developed something of a love / hate human relationship with the tale . However , I think it has been below the belt maligned . It ’s not just a great Tom Paris ( Robert Duncan McNeill ) episode , but it ’s also built around a fascinating construct of trying to attain the fabled speed of warp factor 10 .
It has all the element of a greatStar Trekstory , and only arguably falls down when it ’s revealed that Paris is slowly evolving due to his warp 10 experiments .
It has all the elements of a greatStar Trekstory , and only arguably falls down when it ’s revealed that Paris is slowly germinate due to his warp 10 experiment . Having say that , the process of Paris ' gradual evolution is fascinating , and it ’s really the fact that Paris pull Janeway down that same itinerary and procreates with her when they ’re exotic salamanders that Trekkies tend to turn off from the installment . Regardless , it ’s a expectant watch , and the relative winner of warp 10 briefly pop the question the ship Leslie Townes Hope of a speedy trip home .

9"Twisted"
Episode 6 is Voyager’s creative take on a TV tradition
BecauseStar Trek : Voyageris part of such a sprawling dealership that had already developed tropes and tradition of its own , it often did n’t palpate the need to get on sure storytelling tricks from the wider television industry . " Twisted , " on the other hand , is a rare example ofVoyagerdoing just that . The entire episode is coif aboard the show ’s titulary spaceship , with no planetfall or obvious contact with new alien species . In a way,“Twisted " is a take on the classic nursing bottle episode , where an installment is shot in one location for budgetary ground .
The level did n’t stop when Star Trek : Voyager ’s titular vessel arrive at home in " Endgame , " and the dealership has revealed far more about Janeway ’s crew .
" Twisted " had a big reward over other nursing bottle episodes in thatStar Trek : Voyagerhad a lot of pre - built sets to utilise . So , the installment could pen a sci - fi storyline that shuffled all the usual shooting locating around the ship , which meant what would have been a extremely recognisable layout became something raw . Either way,“Twisted " could only give a sure point of qualitybecause of this production decision , so it would n’t be fair to range it any higher .
8"The 37’s”
Episode 1’s storyline provided Janeway’s crew with an unexpected taste of home
Star Trek : Voyagerseason 2 began with an installment that is still intemperately beloved by the fan bag . After following an ancient SOS signaling to an exotic earth , which also allows for asuper - rare USS Voyager landing place sequence , Janeway and her crew discover a group of human being who have descended from abductees taken from Earth in the 1930s by a mathematical group of unseen alien called the Briori . Among those in statis is aviation legend Amelia Earhart(Sharon Lawrence ) .
" The 37 ’s " is standardised to " Threshold " in that both episodes suggest the crew will be able to make themselves at home preferably rather than later .
" The 37 ’s " is similar to " Threshold " in that both sequence intimate the work party will be able to make themselves at home rather rather than later . However , " The 37 ’s " visit for members of the work party to stay on the alien major planet if they need to settle into a larger human society . It ’s a bright and heartwarming decision force upon everyone , made even practiced that no one choose to leave the ship . “The 37 ’s " lose points for teasing such a brilliant plot with the Brioriand the human insurrection against them , which is only ever mentioned and never show .
7"Non Sequitur”
Episode 5 explored an interesting alternate timeline for Harry (& Tom)
Ensign Harry Kim ( Garrett Wang ) went through some middling bizarre experiences during his prison term aboard the USS Voyager , but the show also made sure to permit viewing audience know what his life could have look like if he had never batten such a posting . The episode gives Harry everything he cogitate he wanted . As one of the unseasoned members of the Voyager crew , he was taking the ship ’s unexpected journey to the Delta Quadrant peculiarly hard . A time anomaly sent him home , and he suddenly wanted nothing more than to be back with his new syndicate .
Harry manage to correct the timeline by the conclusion of " Non Sequitur , " but the episode does a great problem of pull in it seem like an unimaginable job .
" Non Sequitur " is brilliantly written , and also unwrap the wallop Harry had on Tom Paris ' life , as McNeill ’s character also never made it to Voyager because Kim was n’t there on Deep Space Nine to prevent a fighting between Paris and Quark ( Armin Shimerman ) inStar Trek : Voyager ’s pilot episode . As expect , Harry manages to correct the timeline by the conclusion of " Non Sequitur,“but the installment does a corking line of making it seem like an impossible task , and also not revealing it to be some kind of meaningless thaumaturgy .
6"Prototype”
Episode 13 takes B’Elanna down an unexpected path
Roxann Dawson ’s B’Elanna Torres had some solid episodes establish entirely around her , and " Prototype " is a shining example of just how good such installing could be . Mostly creditworthy for keep up , repairing , and improve Voyager ’s various system , Dawson ’s character is given far more to do " Prototype " than just replacing warp conduitsand scrub plasma manifold .
" Prototype " is one of severalStar Trekepisodes by franchise caption , Jonathon Frakes . He is best known for playing Commander William Riker .
The episode focalize on several compelling study matters , including reproductive rights , state of war , and even howStarfleet ’s Prime Directivecan be interpret . Although B’Elanna never intends to do any harm , designing a unexampled golem that would interrupt such a fragile balance in that area of space almost turns out to be a monumental mistake . If she had n’t managed to destroy the epitome , the ravaging pull up stakes in Voyager ’s Wake Island would have been unknowable .
5"Basics, Part I”
Episode 26 leaves Star Trek: Voyager season 2 on a massive cliffhanger
Although " fundamental principle , Part I " is essentially a heavy setup episode so that theStar Trek : Voyagerseason 3 opener can shine , it ’s also a brilliant installment in its own right . So early into the show ’s run , the season 2 close invariably imperil Voyager ’s crewand make it genuinely seem as though they ’re never die to strain home . Plus , " fundamentals , Part I " bringing back Brad Dourif ’s Lon Suder 10 episodes after his debut was a masterstroke of what was dance around episodic storytelling .
Star Trek : Voyager ’s 20 best episodes institute out the best in Captain Kathryn Janeway , Seven of Nine , and the USS Voyager in the far - off Delta Quadrant .
TV was different in 1996 , as cyclosis and other on - need serve were a long way away . As such , Star Trek : Voyagerwas one of many show that often had to bump off the reset push button at the end of each episode , and limit denotation to late instalment in case they ’d been missed by the viewers . " Basics , Part I " treads the phone line like an expert by paying off the work party ’s long - run feud with the Kazon , as well as grant Suder ’s plot line to come to fruition after being absent for so many episodes . Plus , it ’s genuinely concerning to think about the crew being run aground .
4"Meld"
Episode 16 introduced one of the biggest eventual heroes of the “Basics” two-parter
Lon Suder ’s first of three sequence gives him a entrancing starting point . The installment revolves around Dourif ’s character murdering a fellow shipmate for seemingly no reasonableness , and Tuvok ’s ( Tim Russ ) investigations into the matter go to offer him any logical account for the incident . Dourif ’s performance is striking , and it ’s particularly prosperous for the show ’s human viewers to tread into the logical mind Vulcan mind of Tuvok as he struggles to comprehend what was run low through Suder ’s head .
Tuvok finding himself ineffectual to command a similar drive to kill proves just how thick Suder ’s dark ran .
Perhaps even more enthralling than the effect Tuvok and Suder ’s Vulcan nous - basket rummy had on Dourif ’s type is the impact it had on Russ ' in - universe of discourse persona . While it soothed Suder ’s violent impulse , Tuvok finding himself unable to control a standardised drive to kill prof just how cryptical Suder ’s darkness ran . The two men essentially ill-use into each other ’s brake shoe , althoughthankfully Tuvok is capable to retrovert to his old ego .
3"Projections"
Episode 3 is a fascinating exploration of the Doctor’s program
Any episode that delves deeply into Robert Picardo ’s Doctor and his holographic nature is brilliant , but " projection " order somewhere near the top of that finicky chemical group of account . The installment puts an exciting spin on the design by suggesting that the Doctor is n’t a hologram at all , but is really Lewis Zimmerman , the shape - and - blood creator of the Emergency Medical Hologram . “Projections " revolves around the question of what is real and what is not , which is already a sensitive topic for a holographical grapheme .
" Projections " is another of theStar Trekepisodes maneuver by Jonathon Frakes .
Furthermore , " Projections " achieves a uncommon task forStar Trek : Voyagerby managing to recognize the heavy dealership . Because Janeway ’s crew is turn off off from Starfleet , the show often struggled to cite characters from previous efforts likeStar Trek : The Next GenerationandStar Trek : Deep Space Nine . Although the sequence does n’t let in the real Reginald " Reg " Barclay , seeing Dwight Schultz reprise his persona inVoyageris a tremendous experiencefor season Trekkies .
2"Tuvix”
Episode 24 forced Captain Janeway to make an impossible decision
I ’m certain that"Tuvix " is burn off into the memory of everyStar Trek : Voyagerfan . Although the transporter malfunction that merged Neelix ( Ethan Phillips ) and Tuvok into one entity was unexpected , the decision of whether to basically consecrate his execution by separating him again was something that ghost Janeway for pretty much the intact episode . In fact , hearing Tuvix ( Tom Wright ) beg for his life is still something that I fight to forget myself .
The whirlwind of philosophic debates makes " Tuvix " unforgettable .
The conclusion shove upon Janeway is n’t the kind of dilemma a Starfleet maitre d' is routinely expected to resolve . There ’s no real fashion to prepare for something like Tuvix ’s presence , and I still do n’t think there was a result that would have been inarguably correct . Although Janeway finally select to prioritise the well - being of two of her crew members to whom she had grow attached , it would have been an equally difficult decision to set aside them to continue merged without the means to decide for themselves . The whirlwind of philosophical debates makes " Tuvix " unforgettable .
1"Death Wish"
Episode 18 is a compelling worldbuilding episode about the Q Continuum
John de Lancie is so brainy as Qthat his memorable performances create the fitting deception that he ’s been far more omnipresent across theStar Trekfranchise than he really has . After appearing in eight episodes ofStar Trek : The Next Generationand a lone instalment ofStar Trek : Deep Space Nine , the worker sweep over for hisStar Trek : Voyagerdebut in 1996 . However , what ’s so brilliant about " Death Wish " is that it manages to tell an excellent narrative with de Lancie ’s gravid - than - aliveness Q in what is essentially a supporting role .
Despite many uplift installments , Star Trek : Voyager had some of the creepy-crawly episodes of the franchise , introduce masterfully eerie concepts .
Gerrit Grahm ’s Q2 , who eventually becomes love as Quinn when he ’s made human , take away the interview on an unexpected circuit of the Continuum which undertake to contextualize the character ’s desire to end his own life . fundamentally viewed as gods to this stage , Quinn ’s disgraceful storyline shines a whole new light on his omnipotent race . As well as being an enthralling installment in its own right hand , bringing back John de Lancie and Jonathon Frakes ' Commander Riker into the fray is another example ofStar Trek : Voyagerbrilliantly snatch up at its rare opportunities for fan service .
