Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Third Season

Starring:Star Trek Voyager
Studio: Paramount
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
After proving its long-term potential in season 2, Star Trek: Voyager served up some of the best episodes in its entire seven-year history. The second-season cliffhanger was intelligently resolved in "Basics, Pt. II," and the fan-favorite "Flashback" placed Tuvok (Tim Russ) aboard the U.S.S. Excelsior from Star Trek VI, under the command of Capt. Sulu (Star Trek alumnus George Takei). It was a brilliant example of interseries plotting, just as "False Profits" was a Ferengi-based sequel to the NextGen episode "The Price." The two-part time-travel scenario of "Future's End" is a Voyager highlight, with clear echoes (including dialogue lifted verbatim!) of Star Trek's classic "The City on the Edge of Forever," featuring delightful guest performances by actress-comedienne Sarah Silverman and Ed Begley Jr. Character-wise, the season belonged to Kes (Jennifer Lien, whose tenure on the series was now near its end), Neelix (Ethan Phillips), and the Doctor (Robert Picardo), who shined (respectively) in "Warlord," "Fair Trade," and the surprisingly touching "Real Life" (the latter directed by "Potsie" himself, Happy Days veteran Anson Williams). By infecting B'Elanna (Roxanne Dawson) with a fellow officer's "Blood Fever," Voyager delved into the turbulent Vulcan ritual of Pon Farr, while the cliffhanger "Scorpion" introduced the relentless, Borg-destroying villains of Species 8472, which would pose a continuing threat in subsequent episodes.

The intrepid Voyager crew faces more challenges and threats.......2007-05-30

Heavy on emotional resonance and mind-bending science-fiction concepts, season three of "Star Trek: Voyager" also delivers an acceptable level of outright suspense and excitement. But it wasn't until season four's introduction of the Borg threat and the rescued Borg called "Seven of Nine" that the show would deliver emotions, ideas, AND excitement on a regular basis. As "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" ultimately needed the threat of the Dominion to define its unique flavor, so "Voyager" needed the Borg. But, having said that, this season still delivers- for the most part- quality entertainment. And you do get to see the beginning of the intertwined Voyager/Borg relationship in the terrific last episode of this set. As always with these "Trek" boxed sets, picture, sound, and bonus features remain top notch.

Star Trek Voyager Season 3.......2007-03-14

It is a great series filled with high moral entertainment that the whole family can enjoy.

Awesome.......2007-01-04

Is one of the most interesting star trek series. A ship alone in the Delta quadrant. The acting is exceptional and never a dull moment.

Note to Paramount: no sane person is going to pay more than $60 for a DVD set, ever.......2006-10-09

Wake up Paramount! Take a cue from your sales on the STTNG sets. Now that you have finally come to your senses and dropped the prices on the sets to where they should have been in the FIRST PLACE, I would imagine that all of the hold-outs (like me) are now buying them.

See, it works like this, 30 minute shows on DVD, for a season, have earned a market fair price of $25-35. So, since Star Trek episodes are an hour long, that means a fair doubling of the price puts it into the $50-70 range. So, $60 is your sweet spot.

You will be able to take in the obsessive fans with your initial insane pricing points, but everyone else looks at your current price tags, especially with the shoddy packaging that you are still foisting on us, and just laughs and waits for the inevitable price drop. So, do us all a favor and fire your marketing and sales people, drop the price to where it is supposed to be, and earn your sales. Nobody sane is going to pay more than $60 for a season of an hour long/episode TV show on DVD, period.

The Star Trek franchise continues..........2005-07-29

Nominated for 30 Emmys, including seven for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series, Star Trek: Voyager continues the rich tradition of the original 1960s Star Trek franchise. Created by former L.A. police officer Gene Roddenberry, the Star Trek TV series morphed into a franchise famous for the unprecedented fanatical devotion of its fan base. Lasting only three seasons during its original network run, Star Trek struck gold with its syndicated reruns, launching a number of motion pictures featuring the original cast as well as novels, comic books, collectibles, and reams of Star Trek-related memorabilia. The third spin-off from the original Star Trek series, Star Trek: Voyager premiered in January 1995 to modest critical acclaim, but experienced great success with television viewers, slowly increasing its ratings as the series progressed. Following on the heels of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), the series precedes Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) while boasting an all-star cast that includes veteran actress Kate Mulgrew (whose past TV appearances include such shows as Dallas, Cheers, and Murphy Brown). Yet instead of pursuing the classic Star Trek mission to "boldly go where no one has gone before," Star Trek: Voyager is more about going where the crew has been before...

Star Trek: Voyager follows the exploits of the crew aboard the starship USS Voyager. As the series begins, the Voyager is on a Federation mission to capture a rogue ship of Maquis rebels (a race first introduced in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). While in pursuit of the Maquis, the Voyager enters a system known as the badlands, and both ships are instantaneously transported to the Delta Quadrant over seventy-thousand light years away on the outskirts of the galaxy. Soon, both the Maquis and the crew of Voyager learn they were brought to Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker, a mysterious force overseeing the safety of the Ocampan race who live in the shadow on an impending threat from the vicious Kazon. When the Kazon destroy the Maquis ship, the Voyager crew merges with the Maquis crew to defend themselves from the Kazon. Having destroyed the device which could bring them home, the crew of the Voyager - led by Capt. Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), and the crew of the Maquis ship - led by Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran), must work as a united front in order to meet their mutual goal of finding a way home...

The Star Trek: Voyager (Season 3) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere "Basics" in which the crew must get "back to basics" when the Kazon take possession of the Voyager and abandon the crew on an infant planet gripped in the earliest stages of evolutionary process. Only Tom Paris and Lon Suder manage to evade capture, and the fate of the entire Voyager crew rests on their ability to devise a plan for retaking the ship... Other notable episodes from Season 3 include "Warlord" in which the dying alien Tieran manages to teleport his conscious mind into the body of a Voyager crewmember and use his host in order to return to his home planet where he is attempting a takeover, and "Favorite Son" in which a Voyager rendezvous with an unexplored region of space leads Harry Kim to the discovery of his true biological bloodline...

WHA?????.......2005-03-26

BUYING 1-7 Is only 100 bucks more and it comes with twice the episodes this does. AND ALSO IF YOU BUY THEM SEPRTELY IT COSTS LESS!

We're NOT STUPID Amazon! Are you?.......2004-07-22

This is not the first time that amazon has sold multiple seasons in a gift pack like this. It's actually not a bad idead convenience wise, but check the prices and you'll see that it is significantly cheaper to buy them seperately. Star Trek Voyager was a great show that never really received the credit it deserved. Buy them, but be smart about it and buy them seperately.

These are great but.............2004-07-15

Do not buy them in the set. But them separately it is cheaper!!!!

Another great Star Trek series.......2004-07-10

I was a horrible original series snob, so much that I refused to watch any of the later series when they were on TV. It wasn't until the series began coming out on DVD that I began to watch them. I quickly became a TNG fan, then DS9, and now Voyager. I can not say that one series is better than another, they are all great in their own ways. If I could go back in time, there is only one change I would make to Voyager; I think Kate Mulgrew is an excellent actress, BUT, I would beg her to stop her infernal wispering of her lines. She does it several times a show and the sound of it drives me up the wall. OK, I've got it off my chest, so I can go back to enjoying the show, except for her wispering.

A Better Deal?.......2004-07-08

What exactly are we getting for an extra 55 Bucks? If you buy them seperately, it's about $295. And the set is over $350? That must be some great packaging, since seperately the case is far less superior than the two other series. (DS9 and TNG). The show and extras are definitely a must have, but for this kind of money, I want to eat my cake too.
