Amazon.co.uk Review
If the first season of Star Trek: Voyager was a shakedown cruise, then season 2 represents a vital blossoming of the series' potential. As Captain Janeway, Kate Mulgrew maintained Starfleet integrity in the lawless expanse of the Delta quadrant, and became the ethical conscience of her still-uneasy Maquis/Starfleet crew, whose unanimous loyalty would be dramatically proven in "The '37's" (a first-season hold-over). Janeway's moral guidance would also assert itself in "Death Wish" (a "Q" episode featuring NextGen's Jonathan Frakes) and "Tuvix," in which life-or-death decisions landed squarely on her shoulders. Season 2 brought similar development to all the primary characters, deepening their relationships and defining their personalities, especially Robert Beltran as Chakotay (in "Initiations" and "Tattoo"), now firmly established as Janeway's best friend (and nearly more than that, in "Resolutions") and command-decision confidante.

Solid sci-fi concepts abound in season 2, although "Threshold" is considered an embarrassment (as confessed by co-executive producer Brannon Braga in a self-deprecating "Easter Egg" interview clip). It was a forgivable lapse in a consistently excellent season that intensified Janeway's struggle with the villainous Kazon, exacerbated by a Starfleet traitor in cahoots with the duplicitous Cardassian Seska (played by Martha Hackett, featured in a lively guest-star profile). The psychologically intense "Meld" (featuring a riveting guest performance by Brad Dourif) was a Tuvok-story highlight, and the aptly titled "Basics, Pt. 1" provided an ominous cliffhanger, including a second planetary landing (in a season full of impressive special effects) that left Voyager's fate in question. All in all, this was one of Voyager's finest seasons, leaving some enticing questions to be answered in season 3. --Jeff Shannon

Synopsis
Another spin-off from the Star Trek series, this time focusing on the Federation starship USS Voyager as its crew bands together with a group of Maquis rebels to return home from the far-flung Delta Quadrant. This 7-disc set includes all 26 episodes from the series' second season. Including "The 37's" where the crew of the Voyager come across a 1937 pickup truck floating in space(!), they follow distress signals to a remote planet inhabited by none other than Amelia Earhart and a colony of earthlings abducted by aliens in 1937. Plus "Initiations", "Projections", "Elogium", "Non Sequitur", "Twisted", "Parturition", "Persistence of Vision", "Tattoo", "Cold Fires", "Manoevres", "Resistance", "Prototype", "Alliances", "Threshold", "Meld", "Dreadnought", "Deathwish", "Lifesigns", "Investigations", "Deadlock, "Innocence", "The Thaw", "Tuvix, "Resolutions" and "Basics - Part 1."

Voyager's Second Season4
The crew of the Federation star ship USS Voyager, commanded by Captain Janeway, continue their journey home after finding themselves stranded in the delta quadrant (see season one.)

This is the second season (out of seven) of Star Trek Voyager and contains all twenty six episodes.

The first episode "The 37's" was a brilliant opening to the series, and standards throughout the season remained high (with one exception), finishing with the stunning cliff hanging "Basics"

Highlights include the appearance of "Q", the holographic doctor believing he is a 'real' person, Captain Janeway and Commander Chakotay being stranded on a planet (all alone together) and the brilliant "Deadlock" episode.

One episode I do have to mention is "Threshold" not because it was good, but because it was bad. A definite lemon in the series and one of the most ridiculous episodes of the entire Star Trek saga. It even received sour reviews from more hardcore trekkies.

But that episode aside, the series was pretty good and genuinely entertaining. The character development continues (Kate Mulgrew really was a good casting choice). And the Tom Paris (apparently leaving the ship) sub-plot later into the series was brilliant.

Star Trek Voyager was still finding itself, and yes there are still several elements and story lines that are borrowed from the other Star Trek shows, or that have simply been done before, but it was a taste of things to come, and knowing how successful Voyager would become in later seasons that makes you appreciate it's younger days.

Personally I would stay that this second season was an improvement on the first, still not as good or as enjoyable as later seasons (viewing figures must have doubled with the addition of Jeri Ryan in the forth season), but overall still a welcome addition to Star Trek.

Voyager on a path of destruction4
1 Year into the Voyager journey and with most of the unpleasant stuff aside for the marquis and starfleet crewmen on Voyager, things elsewhere move into another gear. With seska now allied with the Kazon, the Kazon and specifically the Nistrum faction have become more dangerous then ever before with the ever enboldened Majj Cullah. During the course of the season, the Voyager is travelling around finding any chance of getting home faster and in its wake the kazon ready to pick up the pieces, this would soon lead to a confrontation between two former marquis lovers in Seska and Chakotay when that betrayl undermined the loyalty to Janeway with Chakotay. at the end of the season, Voyager is siezed by hostiles.
