Another excellent Star Trek staple is the giant unknown organism. This one has some great comedic segments with Nelix and Janeway.

A very powerful message exists in this episode. Life and death and beliefs. Very intersting premise and well thought out.
Episode:116
Learning Curve
Jack's Rating:
Tuvok trains several Maquis members who have not fully integrated into the Voyager crew.
Features:
Stardate: 48846.5
Air Date: 05/22/95
Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
Behold the power of cheese! I enjoyed seeing Tuvok learn some human traits in Spock-like fashion. Overall this episode feels a bit stale. Fortunately it is one of the last episodes where we feel a division between the Maquis and Voyager crew.
Episode:205
Non Sequitur
Jack's Rating:
Harry Kim wakes up in 24th century San Francisco with no record of him on Voyager.

Jack's Review
I have to list this among my favorite episodes so far. Garrett Wang and Patrick Duncan McNeill really have a good chemistry here and we are treated to another well-handled foray into the space/time continuum a la Star Trek. My only criticism is the lack of screen time for the effects as Tom and Harry are being chased by the Nebula class ship.
Episode:211
Maneuvers
Jack's Rating:
Kazon Nistrim board Voyager and steal a transporter module in an attempt to unite the Kazon sects.

Jack's Review
Now THIS is what I am talking about! Intrigue, plot twists, stellar acting by Kate Mulgrew and Robert Beltran...this is what makes Voyager such a great show. My only negative remark is the lack of ship battle sequences....still one of my favorites so far.
Here's a bit of trivia. Maje Haron of the Kazon-Relora was played by Terry Lester who starred in the 1976 TV series, Ark II....the show with the super RV, the jetpack, and the monkey. You can find the series on archive.org as of OCT/2021.
Episode:221

A duplicate Voyager is created after it passes through a spatial scission.

Stardate: 49548.7
Air Date: 03/18/96
Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
Once again we watched this as a family and all three of us were flipping out. This one is just incredible. It has a very epic feel to it, almost like a feature film. After watching this one, I think the Viidians are even more horrifying than the Borg...
Episode:302
Flashback
Jack's Rating:
Tuvok experiences brain-damaging flashbacks to his service on the Excelsior. He and the captain attempt to find the reason for the flashbacks, believed to be a suppressed memory, through a joint mindmeld.

One word....Sulu! Love the tie into Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country here. Very interesting idea overall.
Episode:308
Future's End (Part I)
Jack's Rating:
A 29th century timeship causes a time paradox when it accidentally sends itself and Voyager to two different periods in 20th century Earth.

Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
Classic time paradox Trek! I have always loved these kinds of episodes....the way Kirk and Picard were able to keep their impact on past Earth to a minimum....but not so much for our poor Voyager crew. Nothing goes right for them. Ed Begley Jr plays a perfect slime...and Sarah Silverman, much to my surprise, plays a very not-annoying part here. Can't wait to see how this turns out!
Episode:310
Warlord
Jack's Rating:
Kes is controlled by an alien warlord named Tieran.
Features:
Stardate: 50348.1
Air Date: 11/20/96
Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
This episode could have been written by Terry Goodkind. Very fantasy-based. Acting by Jennifer Lien was excellent. Loved seeing Tom Paris with the compression phaser rifle too. My only complaints are these. It felt like the writer had a very vague idea of what the characters on Voyager were like and it followed "Future's End". Any episode other than one featuring Q would pale following that episode.
Episode:323
Distant Origin
Jack's Rating:
A reptilian scientist trying to prove his heretical theories kidnaps Chakotay and draws the entire crew in conflict between his race's doctrine and the startling truth about its origin.
Features:
Stardate: Unknown
Air Date: 04/30/97
Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
This was a brilliant episode. The Voth characters look amazing and the whole scene where they sneak aboard Voyager to observe the crew is thrilling. The trial is emotional - bringing anger, disgust, excitement, and pity all to the surface. Probably one of the best Stas Trek episodes ever. On a side note - poor Lt Hogan...yes, that skeleton is his...look at the hole in his skull!
Episode:326
Scorpion (Part I)
Jack's Rating:
Voyager must pass through Borg space, but the arrival of a new species causes problems.
Features:
The Borg
Stardate: 50984.3
Air Date: 05/21/97

Jack's Review
Absolutely epic! We watched this one together and at the end there were three people saying "oh my gawd..." I see why this one was named among the best Trek episodes of all time.
Episode:407
Scientific Method
Jack's Rating:
The crew have unexplained illnesses as they are closely observed by unseen intruders.
Features:
Stardate: 51244.3
Air Date: 10/29/97
Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
Such a killer concept! A race of morally immoral scientists performing live gene experiments on the crew! The episode has a certain qiality I have come to expect from David Livingston directed works as well. My only quibble is the ease at which Voyager passes between the binary pulsar with her shields down. Still it does make for a dramatic end to a great episode.
Episode:415
Hunters
Jack's Rating:
A transmission from Starfleet Command gets held at a Hirogen relay station and Janeway sets course to retrieve it.
Features:
Stardate: 51501.4
Air Date: 02/11/98
Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
Terrific introduction to a new villain. I like how Voyager's writers remember that the ship is moving into new space and leaving old alien races behind. The Hirogen race is Star Trek's answer to the Predator. Very well done and now my Son has a new favorite bad guy species.
Episode:418
The Killing Game (Part I)
Jack's Rating:
The Hirogen implant devices into the crew making them believe they are characters within the holodecks being used for hunts.

Once again, David Livingston gives us one of the best two-part episodes in Trek history. Absolutely awesome story.

Often with these two-parters the second episode feels rushed. This is not the case in this episode. Everything culminates in a completely satisfying end.

The ship encounters a training facility for an alien invasion of Earth.
Features:
Stardate: 52136.4
Air Date: 11/04/98
Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
I love that species 8472 keeps appearing in the most unlikely of places. This episode is very good in that we get to see Voyager conversing with them instead of the typical telepathic stuff from previous encounters. The addition of Ray Walston in this story as the enigmatic Boothby is a real treat to watch.
Episode:507
Infinite Regress
Jack's Rating:
Seven of Nine experiences the Borg version of multiple personality disorder.
Features:
Stardate: 52356.2
Air Date: 11/25/98
Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
Two episodes in a row that really show off the acting prowess of this cast. When Jeri Ryan cracks a smile and uses a girly voice in one scene, my Son and I just looked at each other with our mouths agape. You get so used to seeing her as a robot-like character that any display of emotion is almost unsettling in the same way it is seeing Tuvok or Spock laugh. Absolutely well done!
Episode:508
Nothing Human
Jack's Rating:
A wounded alien is brought on board from a stranded vessel and attaches itself to B'Elanna Torres.
Features:
The Holodeck
Stardate: Unknown
Air Date: 12/02/98

Jack's Review
An excellent episode about morals and values - yet another Star Trek staple. The alien screeching in this one made me jump twice, my Son and Fiancee jump once, and our cat, Chuckie, have a heart attack, I think!
Episode:517
The Disease
Jack's Rating:
Kim finds love when the crew encounter a Varro generational ship that needs assistance repairing its warp drive.
Features:
Stardate: Unknown
Air Date: 02/24/99
Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
Love in Star Trek is typically not my favorite subject matter....however, when it's Harry Kim taking the lead, good things happen. Garrett Wang was one of the most underused actors in the series so each episode where Harry is the lead character really stands out.

Janeway reminisces about one of her Earth's ancestors, Shannon O'Donnell from Indiana.

A very odd episode at first glance, this one turns out to be very heartwarming. It shows and nice relaxed side to the crew and a really interesting back-story for Janeway's family.
Episode:526
Equinox (Part I)
Jack's Rating:
Voyager finds another Federation ship, the USS Equinox, under attack from flying nucleogenic lifeforms.
Features:
Stardate: Unknown
Air Date: 05/26/99
Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
A simply awesome ending to the season. The conflicting command styles of Janeway and Ransom really show well in this one. While Janeway is focused on getting home she is much less manic and devious about it. Great guest cast with a terrific premise and nice cliffhanger....
Episode:601
Equinox (Part II)
Jack's Rating:
The crew of the USS Equinox attempt to elude the USS Voyager in order to exploit the nucleogenic lifeforms in a bid to return home.

Cool episode but overall there are a few minor issues. Tom's actions would have landed him in the brig and eventually sickbay...

Following Collective is a hard thing but the producers did the right thing here. After an intense and memorable episode they followed with a light-hearted play with the holodeck village that is fun, silly, and beautiful.
Episode:625
The Haunting of Deck Twelve
Jack's Rating:
As Voyager travels through a nebula all ship's power is turned off, giving Neelix an opportunity to tell the Borg children a ghost story.
Features:
Stardate: Unknown
Air Date: 05/17/00
Director: David Livingston
Jack's Review
This one is a lot of fun. While it looses some of the creepy factor as we discover what happened, the fact that Neelix tells it as a ghost story makes it a lot of fun.
Episode:702

Awesome episode with one flaw. The scavengers in the debris field....what the heck was that about and why didn't they ever show up again?

Hilarious and fun episode that also harkens back to one of the best Star Trek episodes ever, TNG's "measure of a man".
