Star Trek: Voyager - Episode Guide - Season 2

A handful of episodes originally slated to conclude Star Trek: Voyager season 1 instead lead off season 2 in rather ho-hum fashion, excepting maybe “The 37s” which too was marred by the awful characterization of Fred Noonan. Star Trek noobs and hardcore fans alike could have some difficultly trawling through the episodes of season 2, as the low-stakes stories and muted character interrelations of this series continue.

In lieu of proper baddies such as Klingons, Romulans and Borg (and how much better does Voyager get when the Borg enter the scene?), season 2 appears to be an attempt to sell viewers on the badassness of the Kazon. How the Borg have failed to conquer these relative wusses’ space is beyond Star Trek Guide’s comprehension.

And along the way to descending into soap operatics to finally crash and burn in a pretty lame cliffhanger, we’re served up two of the most hideously awful episodes ever in “Tuvix” and “Threshold.”

Summary [ ].

Recurrent themes of tension and mistrust between the Starfleet and Maquis crews , although largely resolved in the season one episode " Learning Curve ", once again resurface in " Maneuvers " and " Meld ". Inter-crew relations are brought to a head while under intense, continuous attack by the Kazon in " Alliances ", and when Janeway is cajoled into initiating a Maquis-led idea of a deal between the USS Voyager and the warring Kazon factions, narrowly averted disaster is enough to quell the two crews into a marriage of Starfleet ideals and ethics. Indeed, increased and more dramatic conflict between Voyager and the Kazon is the main feature of the second season, aided and abetted as the Kazon are by the vengefully villainous and by now, more Cardassian -looking Seska . Her vendetta against Janeway brings Voyager to the brink of destruction more than once during the season in " Maneuvers ", " Alliances ", and " Investigations ", and culminates in the season finale " Basics, Part I " when Voyager 's crew is marooned by Seska and Culluh of the Kazon-Nistrim on a world inhabited by creatures and prehistoric humanoids.

Alongside the Seska/Kazon story arc of the second season sits another spy in Voyager 's ranks. Michael Jonas , a disillusioned former Maquis crewmember assigned to engineering , is revealed to have been secretly communicating with Seska as she attempts to seize control of Voyager . Events leading up to the exposure of Jonas traverse the entire middle of the season, as does Tom Paris ' apparent malcontent and ultimate decision to leave Voyager (revealed in " Investigations " as an attempt by Tuvok and Janeway to ascertain who the spy is).

With Seska and the conflict with the Kazon as central themes, the rest of the season continues to develop the main characters, and more particularly their relationships with each other. Of singular note is the birth (in " Deadlock ") of Ensign Samantha Wildman 's baby, Naomi , but firm bonds and friendships develop between individual crew members as the series continues to evolve and find its feet. A connection between Paris and B'Elanna Torres is hinted at as she confides past mistakes to him and communicates concern at his increasingly errant behavior in " Dreadnought ". Paris also finally makes peace with Neelix when forced to work with him to ensure their survival in " Parturition ". Kes and The Doctor 's relationship solidifies in " Elogium " and " Lifesigns ", and Kes's trust in Tuvok is pivotal when dealing with her burgeoning and uncontrollable mental abilities in " Cold Fire ". Tuvok and Neelix continue to make the perfect "odd couple", but their pairing takes on special significance when a transporter accident fuses them into a single being in " Tuvix ". Finally and conclusively, Janeway and Chakotay find a common understanding, and any allusion to a romantic interest between the two is finally laid to rest in " Resolutions ".

A few of these relationships, though in their infancy in season two, would go on to become increasingly important as the series moved on.

Background information [ ]

What Star Trek: Voyager's Borg Queen Looks Like Today

As prominent "Star Trek: Voyager" antagonists go, it's hard to top the Borg Queen, the entity controlling the fearsome Borg. The Borg are responsible for some of the most pause-worthy moments on "Star Trek: The Next Generation,"  and the cyborg collective continued to antagonize the Federation long after their debut on that show. 

She made her debut in one of the best "Star Trek" movies , "Star Trek: First Contact," and "Star Trek: Picard" marks The Borg Queen's final hurrah. Nevertheless, she's arguably at her most prominent during the events of "Star Trek: Voyager." While numerous actors have played the character over time, the Borg Queen's prevalence on "Voyager" quite likely makes the two actors portraying her — Alice Krige and Susanna Thompson — the definitive versions of the cyborg villain, especially since Krige also played the character in "Star Trek: First Contact." Let's see what the actors look like today.

Alice Krige and Susanna Thompson have a long history in genre shows and films

The first Borg Queen to grace the screens was Alice Krige, who played the role in 1996's "Star Trek: First Contact" and returned in the "Star Trek: Voyager" Season 7 episode "Endgame." Due to her significant role in "First Contact," she's likely the first person people think when it comes to the Borg Queen. She's also voiced the character in various other "Star Trek"-adjacent projects, including "Star Trek: Picard," where she provides the voice of the Borg Queen in two episodes while others physically portray her. 

Apart from her "Star Trek" work, Krige has amassed a wealth of acting credits. Eagle-eyed fans may have spotted her as Eyr in "Thor: The Dark World," Christabella in 2006's "Silent Hill," and Karen Abercromby in the 2002 Christian Bale-Matthew McConaughey fantasy film "Kingdom of Fire." On the small screen, you may have seen her as Maddie on "Deadwood," Nancy Johnson on "The OA," and Haruspex Tsimani on "Carnival Row."

The second and more prominent Borg Queen of "Star Trek: Voyager" is Susanna Thompson, who portrayed the character in her other three appearances on the show. The Borg Queen marks Thompson's third appearance in the franchise, seeing as she already had two one-episode "Star Trek: The Next Generation" parts under her belt before joining "Voyager." Thompson is a familiar face for fans of "Arrow" as Moira Queen,  the mother of Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell). She also played Jeanne in the 2021 horror movie "Malignant," and starred opposite Aidan Quinn on NBC's "The Book of Daniel." Outside genre fare, fans may also have seen her as Karen Sammler on ABC's "Once and Again" and Hollis Mann on "NCIS." 

The Coolest Starships in Star Trek: Voyager

Star Trek: Voyager broke new ground when it debuted in 1995. In addition to featuring the franchise's first female protagonist (Kate Mulgrew's Captain Janeway), it also went where no one had gone before: the mysterious Delta Quadrant . However, despite these innovations, Voyager retained many aspects of earlier shows, like The Next Generation 's mostly standalone episodes and the focus on cool ships and technology seen throughout the franchise.

8 Coolest Starships in Star Trek: The Original Series

The early CGI used for Voyager does somewhat detract from its inventive starship designs, as even the most interesting can look a little dated. However, many of these ships have stood the test of time. From lost science ships to rebel transports, Voyager has something for every breed of starship fan.

The Val Jean

First appearance: "caretaker" (season 1, episodes 1 & 2).

The Val Jean may be small, but in many ways, this Maquis fighter is responsible for everything that happens in Star Trek: Voyager . While fleeing from a Cardassian ship in the Badlands, Chakotay (Robert Beltram) and his crew are dragged into the Delta Quadrant by the godlike Caretaker . Janeway's Voyager is assigned to locate the Val Jean, a mission that results in the Federation vessel's unexpected voyage through the Delta Quadrant.

That the Val Jean is destroyed shortly after arriving in the Delta Quadrant has profound implications for the series. It forces the Maquis rebels to work with Voyager 's Starfleet crew (although the show's writers seem determined to ignore the dramatic potential of this set-up). Nor does the little ship go out without a fight—Chakotay uses it to ram a Kazon warship, buying Voyager time to escape.

First Appearance: "The Chute" (Season 3, Episode 3)

Neelix is one of Star Trek 's most divisive characters, with many fans questioning the appropriateness of his romantic relationship with Kes, a three-year-old Ocampan from the Delta Quadrant. Less controversial, however, is the Baxial , Neelix's personal freighter. This small starship may not look elegant, but it demonstrates significant speed and agility on multiple occasions, making it a vital tool in Voyager 's repertoire during the vessel's seven-year journey home.

Despite only making a handful of appearances in Star Trek: Voyager (the Baxial 's exterior isn't even seen until the show's third season), Neelix's ship enjoys an unexpected afterlife in another classic sci-fi series. It can be seen docked to a space station in "War Stories", an episode of Joss Whedon's short-lived Firefly ; the freighter may be a footnote in Voyager itself, but its legacy casts a long shadow.

Dreadnought

First appearance: "dreadnought" (season 2, episode 17).

The Delta Quadrant may be many light years away from the Federation, but that doesn't stop familiar ships and technology from making occasional appearances in Star Trek: Voyager . In "Dreadnought", Belanna Torres (Roxann Dawson) must confront her past when a Cardassian missile threatens a planet in the Delta Quadrant. Torres had planned to use the missile ship (nicknamed Dreadnought) against the Cardassian Union , only for it to be pulled into the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker.

The ATR-4107 Dreadnought may only be an unmanned drone, but its advanced defensive capabilities make it more than a match for both Voyager and a fleet of alien ships. It can also carry a maintenance crew, supports an advanced tactical computer, and is powerful enough to devastate whole planets. Luckily, Torres is able to destabilize the Dreadnought's warp core, destroying the ship before it obliterates the world of Rakosa.

First Appearance: "Alice" (Season 6, Episode 5)

Star Trek may be a science fiction series, but it occasionally dabbles in the supernatural . In "Alice", Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeil) enters into a twisted relationship with the eponymous Alice , an alien shuttlecraft with a mind of its own and a sinister side. Alice uses an advanced neurogenic interface to interact with its pilot, allowing for unprecedented navigational input. However, this interface has a drawback: when the rogue ship is attacked by Voyager , the neurogenic technology causes Paris to feel pain when Alice is damaged.

The ship is also home to a ghost in the machine. Taking the form of a beautiful woman, Alice's computer seduces Paris and uses him to pilot the ship towards a dangerous anomaly. Indeed, despite Alice 's sentience, the shuttle is entirely dependent on an organic pilot and is destroyed following Voyager 's rescue of Paris.

USS Relativity

First appearance: "relativity" (season 5, episode 24).

While Kirk's Enterprise makes frequent trips back and forth through history , time travel is something of a rarity in the wider franchise. As such, the appearance of a Federation ship specially dedicated to time travel in Star Trek: Voyager is notable. In "Relativity", the crew of Voyager finds themselves contending with some time travel shenanigans when a version of the Relativity 's captain travels back through time in a misguided attempt to change history.

In addition to being able to travel through time as well as space, the Wells -class starship possesses advanced systems appropriate to its 29th-century origins. Many of the starships seen in the franchise have transporters, but Relativity outdoes them: it can transport crew members anywhere in history thanks to its temporal transporters. However, overuse of this technology can have negative side effects for the traveler.

USS Equinox

First appearance: "equinox" (season 5, episode 25).

The short-range survey vessel Equinox finds itself out of its depth when, like Voyager , it is accidentally pulled into the Delta Quadrant. Things go from bad to worse when most of the crew are immediately killed, an event which drives the ship's Captain Ransom (John Savage) towards a desperate course of action. Ransom plans to use an alien lifeform as fuel in order to expedite his return to the Alpha Quadrant, much to Janeway's disgust.

The design of the Nova -class starship is interesting, as it combines Voyager 's aesthetics with those seen in The Next Generation movies (particularly the starship's nacelles ). The Equinox may be one of Starfleet's more immoral vessels, but it still makes a memorable contribution to Star Trek history.

Species 8472 Bio-Ship

First appearance: "scorpion" (season 3, episode 26).

The Borg may represent one of the greatest threats to the Federation, but the cybernetic race isn't actually at the top of the Delta Quadrant's pecking order. In "Scorpion", Voyager discovers a war between the Borg and the mysterious Species 8472—a war that the Borg are losing. In order to secure safe passage through the region, Janeway must ally with the Borg. However, even the combined might of the Federation and its greatest foe may not be enough to overcome the bio-ships of Species 8472.

Star Trek: Voyager's Most Bizarre Episode

Constructed from the same biological matter as their creators, these ships are capable of regenerating any combat damage. Offensively, the bio-ships pose a considerable threat: just one is capable of destroying a usually impregnable Borg cube, while several bio-ships could work together to destroy whole planets. Voyager 's crew develops innovative new weapons based on Borg technology in order to counter the vessels, forcing them back into Species 8472's native fluidic space.

USS Voyager

The titular USS Voyager is an Intrepid -class science vessel designed for long-term exploration. While far smaller than many Starfleet vessels, Voyager possesses many innovative technologies, including super-efficient variable geometry warp nacelles and bio-neural circuitry which allows for faster and more efficient computational work than was possible on previous starships. However, the latter technology can be a curse as well as a blessing: in "Learning Curve", cheese made by Neelix nearly destroys Voyager after its bacterial cultures infect the ship's bio-neural gel packs.

Voyager has one of Starfleet's most impressive track records, as it makes contact with numerous species in the Delta Quadrant. Admittedly, some fans have their doubts about the ethics of Voyager 's captain , but this does nothing to detract from the vessel's incredible legacy. It's no surprise, then, that several other vessels also bear the Voyager name, as seen in Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Discovery . It may not be as iconic as the Enterprise -D or as punchy as the Defiant , but the USS Voyager is still one of Star Trek 's coolest ships.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Returning Cast & New Character Guide

5 star trek actors with real-life children in tv & movies, star trek actors & executive producers react to peabody award.

WARNING: Contains SPOILERS for Star Trek: Discovery, season 5, episode 7, "Erigah".

• Star Trek: Discovery season 5 returns to the Badlands, a crucial location from DS9 and Voyager after 25 years.
• The next clue to the Progenitors' technology is hidden in the Eternal Gallery and Archive inside the Badlands.
• The Badlands pose a dangerous journey for the USS Discovery as they navigate plasma storms to find the final treasure piece.

The Star Trek franchise is returning to a very important location from both Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager for the first time in 25 years. In Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 7, "Erigah", written by M. Raven Metzner and directed by Jon Dudkowski, the final clue to the location of the Progenitors' technology is contained within The Eternal Gallery and Archive , an ancient library with the ability to change locations. It's current position during Discovery 's period of the Star Trek timeline is in a location that is well known to fans of DS9 and Voyager .

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 has contained multiple references to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine from the USS Discovery's Ferengi bartender, to the Trill zhian'tara ritual, and Breen villains. Now, the ending of Discovery season 5, episode 7 sets up a return to the very region of space in which Star Trek 's Deep Space Nine station was located. With their treasure hunt almost at an end, the USS Discovery is setting course for the Badlands, a location of vital importance to DS9 and to Star Trek: Voyager , for the first time in 25 years .

As Burnham seeks the universe's greatest treasure in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, she'll need help from a host of new and returning characters.

Star Trek: Discovery Is Returning To An Important DS9 & Voyager Location

Working to decipher the clue left by Star Trek: Discovery 's Betazoid scientist Marina Derex , Lt. Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman) and Ensign Adira Tal (Blu del Barrio) are pointed in the direction of The Eternal Gallery and Archive by Commander Jett Reno (Tig Notaro), an expert in rare books. To narrow down the Archive's location, Commander Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp) enlisted the help of the empathic Cleveland Booker (David Ajala), who was able to see violent plasma storms while holding Derex's library card. It was plasma storms such as these that aided Maquis activities during both Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager .

Judging by the visions of Book in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 7, the Badlands are still beset by the same intense plasma storms that caused trouble for the Cardassians, the Maquis, and the USS Voyager . While the USS Discovery has a spore drive that can drop them in and out of a location quickly, they could still find themselves victims to the punishing plasma storms while an away team explores the Eternal Archive. This means that the road for the final piece of the map to the Progenitors' treasure could be a very rocky one in Discovery season 5, episode 8, "Labyrinths".

Star Trek's Badlands And Missing Ships Explained

The Badlands were introduced thirty years ago, when it was revealed as a major staging ground for the Maquis terrorist organization in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 2 . The introduction of the Badlands was part of a larger plan for DS9 to set up Star Trek: Voyager a year in advance of its 1995 premiere. In the Voyager pilot, "Caretaker", Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the crew of the USS Voyager were lost in the Badlands after trying to trace a missing Maquis ship, containing her closest friend, Lt. Tuvok (Tim Russ). Voyager was then caught in the Caretaker's array and sent to the Delta Quadrant.

In the 24th century, the Badlands were located along the border between Federation space and the Cardassian Union. It's currently unclear how these borders have shifted in Star Trek: Discovery 's 32nd century.

The USS Discovery won't have to contend with the Caretaker's array when they visit the Badlands, but they'll still have to account for the plasma storms and spatial anomalies . Many ships were lost in the Badlands during Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , including the Valjean, commanded by Chakotay (Robert Beltran), and the IKS Koraga, aboard which Lt. Commander Worf (Michael Dorn) had served during the Dominion War. The Eternal Gallery and Archive being located in Star Trek 's Badlands means that Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) shouldn't expect a quiet trip to the library as Star Trek: Discovery 's treasure hunt continues.

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 streams Thursdays on Paramount+.

Discovery Season 5 Just Brought Back a Lost Piece of Star Trek Voyager Canon

The Breen have really taken over Star Trek: Discovery at this point, which is why it might be time to revisit Deep Space Nine.

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers.

Since its inception in 2017, Star Trek: Discovery has been compared to various aspects of the Star Trek franchise. But, perhaps the show it most closely resembles, at least tonally, is Deep Space Nine , the gritty ‘90s spin-off of The Next Generation . And, with its fifth and final season, it feels like Discovery knows it’s the Deep Space Nine of modern Trek , and has leaned into that feeling more than ever.

The series has also taken on the mantle of being the new DS9 by simply making a ton of references to that series, as well as continuing huge storylines from that series. In the 7th episode of season 5, “Erigah,” Discovery makes a ton of references to the breadth of the Trek canon, with a specific focus on DS9 . Here’s all the best easter eggs and shout-outs you might have missed.

The Return of Nhan 

At the top of the episode, we get the first appearance of Rachael Ancheril as Nhan since season 4 episode “Rubicon.” Nhan’s journey is unique within Star Trek , and Discovery specifically. Originally a part of the crew of the USS Enterprise under Pike, Nhan joined the Discovery in season 2 during the search for the Red Angel. She stayed with the crew when they jumped to the future in season 3, making her seemingly the only Enterprise crew member from the 23rd century who now lives in the 32nd century . Nhan is from Barzan II, a planet established in the TNG episode “The Price.”

Dominion War Medical Research 

Culber says he’s doing a deep-dive into Dominion War medical research, in order to learn more about the Breen, noting, “We don’t know much about Breen physiology.” This is accurate since, although the Breen appeared for the first time in DS9 , they never took their helmets off in that series. Culber’s deep dive into Dominion War research is also interesting in light of Star Trek: Picard season 3. It was in that season that we learned Starfleet was secretly experimenting on Changelings. Did Culber stumble on any of that research?

“Never Turn Your Back on a Breen”

Reynar reminds President T’Rina of the Romulan saying, “Never turn your back on a Breen.” This comes from the DS9 episode “By Inferno’s Light,” and was uttered by an unnamed Romulan prisoner. Although T’Rina is seemingly Vulcan, the Vulcans and Romulans are essentially the same people in the time of Discovery . As revealed in season 3’s “Unification III,” all Vulcans and Romulans live together on the planet Ni’var, previously known as the planet Vulcan.

Breen Attack on the Federation 

In this episode, we’re reminded that “the last time the Breen paid a visit to the Federation, they destroyed an entire city.” This references the Deep Space Nine episode, “The Changing Face of Evil,” in which the Breen attack Starfleet Headquarters on Earth, directly, and nearly destroy all of San Francisco. Most of the city was rebuilt by the time of the Picard flashbacks in season 1 of that series, and certainly, is fully rebuilt by seasons 2 and 3 of Picard . But, it seems like the Federation has not had a direct battle with the Breen in Federation space since the DS9 era.

Tilly Is Worried About Her Cadets

In another reference to DS9 and “The Changing Face of Evil,” Tilly expresses concern about her cadets safety if the Breen attack Federation HQ. In the DS9 era, Starfleet Academy was still located in San Francisco, though now it’s at Fed HQ. That said, the upcoming show, Starfleet Academy , set in the Discovery timeline, will move the Academy back to Earth, and San Francisco.

We learn in this episode that the next piece of the Progenitor puzzle is a book called Labyrinths of the Mind , a Betazoid manuscript written by Dr. Marina Derex. “Marina” is almost certainly a reference to Marina Sirtis, the beloved actress who has played the half-Betazoid character Deanna Troi in all of The Next Generation and Picard , a few cameos on Voyager , and the Enterprise finale.

The book was also written in 2371, which is the same year that the USS Voyager left space station Deep Space 9 for the Badlands. It’s also the same year that Thomas Riker stole the USS Defiant from the same station. It’s also the year that the USS Enterprise-D crash-landed its saucer section on Veridian III in Star Trek Generations , which also means it’s the same year that a time-displaced Captain James T. Kirk was killed. Big year!

Seven of Limes 

Reno mentions a cocktail called “Seven of Limes.” This can only be a reference to Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), the former Borg drone turned Fenris Ranger and Starfleet Captain. Because Discovery is set several centuries beyond Picard Season 3, we can only assume that Reno and the crew now have knowledge of events well beyond the early 2400s.

“A Holodeck Adventure for the Littles”

Reno jokes that the entire premise of the current clue—connected to a library card—makes everything sound like “something out of a holodeck adventure for the littles.” The most prominent holodeck adventure for children that we’re aware of in Trek canon is The Adventures of Flotter , which first appeared in the Voyager episode “Once Upon a Time.” In Picard season 1, Soji had a Flotter lunchbox.

The Badlands 

By the end of the episode, the Eternal Gallery’s location—and thus the location of the book  Labyrinths of the Mind —is revealed to be in the Badlands. This is an unstable area of space that was first mentioned in…you guessed it… Deep Space Nine ! Although the Badlands is most famous as the area where the USS Voyager went missing in its 1995 debut episode, “Caretaker,” the concept of the Badlands was introduced about a year earlier in 1994, during DS9’s second season, specifically in the episode “The Maquis Part 1.”

The Badlands is located near what used to be Cardassian space, so in its next episode, Discovery will literally be traveling directly to the neighborhood of Deep Space Nine . We have no idea if the wormhole is still there in this time period, or if that old station is still kicking. But, as Discovery continues to drop surprises in its final season, we can all keep our fingers crossed for a glimpse of a very special space station.
