Cold Fire
Jack's Rating:
An Ocampan helps Kes with her mental abilities as the crew encounter a being who appears to be the Caretaker's female counterpart.
Features:
Stardate: 49164.8
Air Date: 11/13/95
Director: Cliff Bole
Jack's Review
From the introduction by Ship's computer voice Majel Barrett, I was expecting a fantastic romp across space like the first episode, "Caretaker". Instead it was way too centered on Kes and her mental powers. The female caretaker creature was underused and we don't see any reason for her malevolence. I am hoping we meet her again and they flesh her out a bit more...

In order to quell the temper of a Voyager crew member, Tuvok performs a mind-meld.

I was so surprised and pleased to see Brad Dourif in this episode. He is always brilliant. Seeing him as a Betazoid is unsettling....But the real star of this story is Tim Russ. Tuvok is a badass! I was actually afraid of him myself. Absolutely awesome.

Jack's Review
Have I said how much I love The Doctor? He is such a fantastic character and Robert Picardo plays him with so much emotion (for a hologram) it's a joy to watch. This episode is excellent and such an interesting premise that I couldn't help but be fascinated. The use of the 57 Chevy and the Classic do-wop Flamingos track was a very nice touch.

I was expecting this to be a funny episode and while it did have a few laughs it was largely serious. Very well acted and directed. The ending was gut-wrenching...

The Ferengi

Jack's Review
This episode was a surprise. Very fun and downright silly from the Ferengi side of things while simultaneously serious as the Voyager crew tries to get home via a wormhole. The expression on Janeway's face at the end of the story is awesome.

What a phenomenal finish to an epic episode. The Doctor has his portable emitter and Janeway showed why she rocks as hard as Picard and Kirk! Totally fantastic.

The Q and the Grey
Jack's Rating:
Q visits Voyager with a proposal for Janeway as civil war breaks out in the Q Continuum.
Features:
The Q Entity

Jack's Review
Yet another classic Q episode. John De Lancie nails it every time! While not quite as crazy good as Death Wish from season 2, the overall bizarre nature of the Q and their mysterious continuum really makes for fun stories.
Episode:503
Extreme Risk
Jack's Rating:
B'Elanna purposely puts herself into increasingly more dangerous situations. Meanwhile the crew decides to build a new shuttlecraft, the Delta Flyer.
Features:
The Holodeck
Stardate: Unknown
Air Date: 10/28/98
Director: Cliff Bole
Jack's Review
Very cool episode - well acted by Roxann Dawson and Robert Beltran. Paris and Tuvok's banter about the aesthetics of the Delta Flyer design are priceless. My only complaint is the lack of the typical techno-babble explanation when B'Elanna does her engineering magic at the end of the episode.
2021 edit: I have decided that, for me, Torres is the most annoying character in Trek. She is moody like a teenager and while she had started to come out of it by season 4, she regresses in this season again. Let's see if she can change my mind.

Another fine example of what makes Star Trek great. This episode is, for lack of a better term, epic.
