- @3{STAR TREK: VOYAGER - SEASON TWO
- @4}by zYLAX / PTK
- @5
- It looks like Voyager's well into the
- video release of it's second season
- and terrestrial TV hasn't even had a
- sniff of it yet.

- To recap for anybody who doesn't know
- out there. Voyager is the fourth
- incarnation of the Star Trek saga,
- after Deep Space Nine. After
- disembarking from DS9 to pursue and
- capture a rebel Marquis craft (now
- where the "Darth Vader" have I heard
- something similar to that before!),
- Voyager along with the Maquis ship are
- carried millions of miles across the
- universe into the Delta quadrant by a
- mysterious force. The force in
- question turns out to be an unknown
-
-
-
-
- entity named the "Caretaker" whose
- self-elected purpose in life is to
- care for a race called the Ocampa.
- Unfortunately, the Caretaker dies
- along with Voyager's best chance of
- returning to Federation space. The
- crew of the Maquis ship are then
- forced to evacuate to Voyager after
- their own vessel is damaged by a Kazon
- attack.
- ...And there you have the recipe for a
- new generation of Star Trek.

- Season One ended with the episode "the
- 37's" in which the crew of Voyager
- discovered a number of alien abductees
- taken from Earth in the year 1937.
- This was no doubt influenced by the
- X-Files to some extent.
-
- Season Two is now well underway and
- the fourth video has just been
- released. Oh well, a whole quadrant
- to explore and we've only got until
- the rating's waver.

- INITIATIONS@1
- In this, the first episode of the
- second season, Chakotay finds himself
- the target of a young Kazon warrior
- trying to earn his name. Predictably,
- Chakotay evades being destroyed and
- reluctantly fires on his enemy. Upon
- rescuing the Kazon warrior from the
- unstable wreakage of his vessel, he
- discovers that the punishment for a
- Kazon for failing to earn his name is
- death.

- NON SEQUITUR@1
- The storyline to this episode is
- almost as confusing as it's name.
- Harry Kim finds himself back home with

-
-
- a job as a Starfleet Engineer, a home
- and a fiancee. I can't let you into
- anymore or I'll ruin it for you.
- Needless to say this is one of my
- personal favourites out of all the
- Voyager episodes.

- PARTURITION@1
- Following a jealous fight over Kes,
- the captain sends Tom Paris and Neelix
- down to a planet nicknamed "Hell"
- because of it's atmospheric
- conditions, on a mission to scavenge
- food. Once on the surface, they find
- themselves working together to care
- for a new-born alien being.

- PERSISTANCE OF VISION@1
- Since it's been a while when I last
- watched this, and my memory's shyte, I
- can't remember the complete story to
- it. But it's one of those common Star
- Trek episodes that involves the whole
- of the crew. In this case, each
- crewmember in turn falls in a trance
- after speaking to someone close to
- them.

- TATTOO@1
- This is a really deep episode in which
- we learn much about Chakotay, his
- background and, particularly, his
- relationship with his father. The
- Commander leads an away team to a
- planet searching for fuel, when they
- encounter a alien race reluctant to
- show their faces. Plenty of
- flashbacks and one of the more
- original and interesting of the
- Voyager episodes.
- @4
- COLD FIRE@1
- This episode sees Voyager and it's
- crew meet the female mate of the
- "Caretaker" they have been searching
- for. As with the original "Caretaker"
- this entity has associated itself with
- the Ocampa. But this particular tribe
- of the Ocampa have evolved
- independantly of the rest of the race.

- Now when the hell am I supposed to
- have watched it! This god damn
- magazine has took most of my life over
- for the last couple of weeks.
