Voyager Season 4 Recap

Voyager Season 4 Recap

Introduction

Season 4 saw some major changes in Voyager. Gone was one main cast member in Kes and new to the show was Seven of Nine. Episodes also took on a bit of a darker edge with a heavier emphasis on action. How did the show fare?

So much going on in this picture! Garrett Wang reveling in his "Hollywood's Sexiest Young People" magazine nod, Robert Beltran closing all the windows and shutting all the doors as he checks out for good, Roxann Dawson trying to hide something from the producers, Jeri Ryan trying not to pass out, Kate Mulgrew barely concealing her irritation... and Robert Duncan McNeill - what are you doing with your legs?

Introduction

Voyager has been captured by the Hirogen who have forced the crew to reenact various violent periods from various periods of history. Their own memories have been supressed leaving only the holodeck character in their place, to give the Hirogen hunters interesting prey. Most of the senior staff have been conscripted into a World War II simulation fighting as the Resistance against a Hirogen-staffed Third Reich. Only the Doctor and Harry remain outside the holodeck to find a way to restore the crew's memories and retake the ship.
