Amazon.co.uk Review
After seven long years trying to return home, it's no surprise that the seventh season of Voyager was emotional. It begins with the resolution to season 6's "Unimatrix Zero", in which Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), Torres (Roxann Biggs-Dawson), and Tuvok (Tim Russ) must find a way off the Borg Cube and Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) faces the loss of the precious bit of humanity she has just discovered. "Human Error" focuses on Seven's further attempts to explore her human side (a romance comes from out of the blue). And if Seven isn't the cast's most fascinating character, it's the other crew member struggling to find his not-quite-human identity, the Doctor (Robert Picardo). In "Body and Soul," the Doctor gets to experience physical life in the body of--who else?--Seven. He writes a novel in "Author, Author," and in the first of a pair of excellent two-parters, "Flesh and Blood," he explores what it means to be a hologram in the midst of a deadly situation involving the Hirogen. In the second two-parter, "Workforce," the crew is kidnapped and brainwashed into becoming ordinary laborers on a planet with a worker shortage, but Janeway is forced to question whether she wouldn't prefer this version of a normal, stable life.
The seventh season also saw the first Trek wedding since Dax-Worff, the return of the old Federation-Maquis conflict, the continuing efforts of Lt. Reginald Barclay (Dwight Schultz) to bring Voyager home, Kim (Garrett Wang) taking command twice (once with the help of the Emergency Command Hologram), the return of Q, and Neelix's discovery of a group of fellow Talaxians. The final episode, "Endgame," is less concerned with misty-eyed goodbyes than with a bending of conventional views of the space-time continuum that leads to an exciting showdown with the Borg queen (Alice Krige, repeating her role from Star Trek: First Contact but making her first appearance on Voyager). DVD bonus features include the usual season recap, a 12-minute featurette on the final episode, and a crew profile of the Doctor. --David Horiuchi
DVD Description
Highlights from Season 7 include:
- Flesh and Blood, in which Janeway finds herself battling holographic freedom fighters
- Body and Soul, in which the Doctor takes over Seven’s body, to her annoyance (and with bawdy results!)
- Prophecy, in which B’Elanna’s child is hailed by itinerant Klingons as the new Messiah
- Endgame, the feature-length, time-travelling Borg-infested conclusion of the Voyager story

Season 7 Brings VOYAGER Full Circle...
VOYAGER becomes the 3rd Star Trek incarnation to complete its seventh year. Its final 26 episodes are, in the main, successful.
The season kicks off with a strong conclusion to the season 6 cliff-hanger UNIMATRIX ZERO. There is something very affecting about the principal of several Borg drones being able to fulfil their individuality during regeneration. The season 7 premiere delivers a respectable conclusion to this premise.
Moving on from the opener, there are several bland entries (including the 7 of 9 showcase IMPERFECTION, DRIVE [which sees the marriage of 2 crew members] & the Tuvok centred REPRESSION).
However some of the seasons success stories include: LINEAGE (which focuses on Torres parental worries), the WORKFORCE 2-parter (in which the crew are unknowingly forced to work on alien planet), AUTHOR AUTHOR and the audacious penultimate episode RENAISSANCE MAN; a really effective blend of action & tongue-in-cheek sentiment, which perfectly showcases the ability of the cast ensemble (with, of course, the doctor at the forefront).
ENDGAME is the shows highly effective series finalé, and is packed with menace, suspense and plenty of character moments, presented in one highly polished presentation.
While it may have been heavily critised by some people for its lack of continuity and engaging drama, VOYAGER may well have been a mere victim of poor timing (airing too close to DS9, and to TNG's demise). Faced with ENTERPRISE - surely many fans will feel nostalgia, for a show that was largely unappreciated.
FINAL!
This series is a must have for any person who has followed the Voyager story and loved it. It doesnt only give you the conclusion but it gives you a range of differnet genre episodes in it before the final conclusion. The conclusion to Voyager is very emotional and even shocking to the crew themselfs and you cant belive that it has happened and after all their struggles, arguments and losses you know that the crew or should i saw the family of Voyager FINALLY get back to Earth. I think it is a must have for any fan and i believe that Voyager will always remain in are lifes, ambitions and hearts!
Well what can you say.
Well having watched most of the seasons on video the quailty of the picture and the extras were incrediable on DVD.
Everyone moans about the final episode but if you are looking to buy this don't be put off.
The ending was a nice alround round off of the series and it had to come at some point and it is well worth watching.
Another brilliant aspect of getting the series on DVD is the extras series 7 ones are excellent.
I am probably biased as I think Voyager is the best series but off all the endings this one was good.
This is a must have for any trekkie.
Live long and Prosper those who read this.
Ps. the best bit in the whole series is at the end of homestead involving Tuvoc watch out for it. (he's would be quite talented on the dance floor).
