The People v. Star Trek: Voyager

One last season, one final appeal to the Court’s questionable sense of mercy. Deemed garbage and maligned on first pass, Season 7 returns to see if the home stretch looks any better through the lens of time passed. Is this hurried run of goodbyes and monsters-of-the-week a fitting farewell to the Delta Quadrant’s merry band of sojourners? Or is it merely a fire sale of half-baked scripts from the writer’s room crank file? Is Season 7 ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE?

The people (well, at least a few people) cry out for clemency, and their cries are met with a second chance for Voyager’s big finale. Can the appellate court find a satisfying ending in this hassled and harried jumble of a goodbye jaunt? Can Voyager’s finale be forgiven for failing where other Trek finales have sort of succeeded? Is Endgame, Part 2, ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE?

Our review of our Season Six review turns our weary eyes to a time of strife, plague, burdened spirits, and bad episodes. Do we still hate Season Six as much as we did, or were our judgments unfairly tinted by everything else that was going on? In the light of time past, can we find anything good to say about Tsunkatse? Is Season Six of Star Trek: Voyager ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE?

Voyager takes a holographic trip to the make-believe past of a very real place. We take a visit to the very real past of a make-believe courtroom to relitigate our treatment of “Fair Haven,” an episode that poses more questions than it answers about the ethics of holographic (and televised) entertainment. Is “Fair Haven” ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE?

It’s the last-chance liquor stop on our way into the Season Six abyss! But do we really like it, or do we just like it in comparison to Season Four and Season Six? What are the high points in a season that tackles exciting themes like “depression” and “loneliness” and “arbitrary solitary confinement of a mission-essential crewmember?” Is Season Five ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE?

An episode that lives in infamy - at least in the nicely muscled breast of one of our team. The day has come to spend some MORE time in the brig and contend with whether or not we were more right then or even more deeply, purely right now. Or could we have been…WRONG? Is Thirty Days ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE?

We relitigate our episode about an episode about a bunch of randoms relitigating Voyager’s actions nine centuries after the fact. Is this one actually one of Voyager’s best, despite pretty clearly not being that? Is Living Witness ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE?

The Court of Space Appeals takes another look at Season 3 as the march towards the Omega Verdict continues. Can the season that gave us The Chute and 90’s Chakotay hair truly be maligned? Can the season that gave us False Profits and Seska’s unworthy end truly be praised? Is Season 3 of Voyager ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE?

It’s a second look at the episode that needs no second look: RISE! The story that inspired a generation is brought back before the Court to have its excellence further prodded and verified in the name of judicial certainty. It’s arguably the greatest tale in all of Voyager, but is it ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE?
