Voyager plunges headlong into an inescapable pocket of space where violence is the only currency and the only rule is to survive! Shockingly, Janeway isn’t super into it. Can Voyager escape with its conscience intact? Will they get their stuff back? Is this the happiest that Chakotay has been in a while? Is “The Void” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

Voyager runs into a group of multi-generational religious refugees from the Alpha Quadrant and learns that B’Elanna’s baby might just be the Klingon messiah. It’s a weird Tuesday, even by Voyager standards. Are Tom and B’Elanna up to the job of raising Bat’Leth Jesus? Is a religious lie ok if it’s a beneficial religious lie? Is “Prophecy” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

A chance encounter with a prison ship puts Voyager smack in the middle of a heated debate about state punishment and the death penalty. Will the Prime Directive win out over Janeway’s (historically dubious) respect for life? Will Seven learn a valuable lesson from this? Is “Repentance” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

B’Elanna finds herself in a family way! While everyone else is thrilled to welcome the ship’s newest bundle of rage, Torres thinks now is a good time to make the kinds of tweaks that aren’t street legal in Federation space. Can she edit away years of family trauma? Does Tom get a say? Can we all at least admit that B’Elanna’s dad is trash? Is “Lineage” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

When is a clip show not a clip show? When it’s a Chakotishow! Chakotay takes us ping-ponging through Voyager’s past to revisit old friends, current friends, and old enemies who should have been allowed to become current enemies. Can he save Voyager from the time lightning? Will Chakotay hook up with Season 1 Janeway? Is “Shattered” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

MEGASODE ALERT! It's two episodes for the price of one when The Doctor meets a group of fellow holograms fleeing Hirogen servitude and discovers that getting radicalized is more fun than being treated like an appliance. Will the Doctor quit his day job and join the revolution? Is Janeway an ally or a #ally? Is “Flesh and Blood” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

Ensign Kim takes command of an alien ship under fire and steers it right into an interplanetary crisis! Will his latent command abilities manifest in time to prevent Voyager from getting dragged into war? Will audiences finally stop asking why Kim never gets promoted? Will anyone on the ship think to ask if they can maybe borrow that cloaking device? Is “Nightingale” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

In a last-ditch effort to save him from arrest, and deletion, Seven uploads the Doctor’s program to her cortical whatever— with allegedly funny results! Can they tolerate sharing a body long enough to get clear of the space cops? Will the Doctor try Fruit By The Foot? Will the Voyager writers ever stop using Seven’s agency as a springboard for cheap one-offs? Is “Body and Soul” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

Holo-Barclay returns with a pocket full of dreams and a bucket full of BS for the Voyager crew! Is this the highly implausible and obvious con that will finally get them home? Will the writers ever think to mention that Troi likes chocolate? How many more times is Voyager contractually obligated to tell this exact story? Is “Inside Man” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

The Doctor is kidnapped (again) and must face his most terrifying enemy yet: the systemic injustice embedded in the modern healthcare system! Will he shatter the Prime Directive in the name of equitable care? Will the crew ever learn to put the portable emitter in a lockbox when no one is using it? Does Starfleet health insurance even cover holographic service members? Is “Critical Care” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?
