Star Trek: Voyager

Summary

Star Trek : Voyageroriginally had a " Get out of the Delta Quadrant " architectural plan , but scrapped it at the beginning of season 2 . WhileVoyager ’s sister show , Star Trek : Deep Space Nine , expanded the franchise as far as the Gamma Quadrant , Voyagertook things a step further when the ship was throw away 70,000 lightyears across spaceto the uncharted Delta Quadrant . After a programme to have the entity that brought them there send them home fail , Voyager ’s cast of characterswas stuck on the other side of the galaxy with a long journey and no way of life to meet Starfleet .

Voyagerwas the first serial publication in theStar Trekfranchise to make the " mislay in quad " concept their intact premiss . cut the show off from everything intimate in the franchise was a risk , but one that ultimately paid off asVoyager ’s work party explored the Delta Quadrant and expandedtheStar Trektimelinemythos . However , there was no guarantee that the series ' premiss would be a success with audiences , which was whyVoyagerworked to let in a guaranteed room for the ship to return home if it needed to as early as the pilot episode , " Caretaker . "

Star Trek: Voyager Had A Plan To Leave The Delta Quadrant But Didn’t Use It

Voyagerbaked a plan to leave behind the Delta Quadrant into its premise whenthe show established that there was another entity like the Caretaker ( Basil Langton ) . From the start , it was empathize that part ofVoyager ’s delegacy in the Delta Quadrantwas to look for any way to return home , include trying to find the Caretaker ’s mate , Suspiria ( Lindsay Ridgeway ) . Having another entity like the one that had bring in them to the Delta Quadrant should have been a guaranteed slate home , and it would have made mother wit forVoyagerto ferment the crew ’s search for Suspiria into a season - long journey .

However , Voyager ’s crew ended up meet Suspiria early , in time of year 2 , episode 10 , " Cold Fire . " Not only that , butSuspiria turn up hostile and unwilling to help them , taking her off the tabular array entirely as a agency to return home . It ’s unclear whyVoyagerchose to off Suspiria as an option instead of just forgetting about or not using her . This could have been because the show was no longer disquieted about the popularity of its premiss with audiences , but that musical theme is contradicted by the fact that " Cold Fire " was another unpopular episode in a string of time of year 2 ’s worst .

Season 2 Is Star Trek: Voyager’s Worst Season

time of year 2 is empiricallyStar Trek : Voyager ’s worst time of year , with more misses than hits in terms of episodes . Although there were some decent additions to the time of year , it also take some of the worst - reviewed episodes of the show , including " Threshold " which has become possibly the most divisive episode ofStar Trekever made . Star Trekshows tend to have a hard time finding their feet until time of year 3 or 4 , especially the 1990s - era cadre of series , andVoyagerwas no elision to this formula .

It ’s interesting then thatVoyagerchose to junk their " get out of jail free " identity card in season 2 when there was no guarantee that the show would keep on uphill . As it turned out , the crew did n’t take Suspiria , but there was no way to know that in season 2 . However , getting disembarrass of her opened the door forStar Trek : Voyagerto encompass more well - build part of the franchise , namely the Borg , as a mean value to get home . in the end , this pay off and introduced more interesting storylines to afterward seasonsthan a extend search for Suspiria ever could have .
