In 2014, Io9 ranked The Thaw's clown as the sixth least threatening villain of Star Trek. In 2021, ScreenRant ranked "The Thaw" the eighth scariest episode of all Star Trek franchise episodes, and the scariest of the Voyager series.
As one of the darkest (and saddest) Star Trek episodes, Star Trek: Voyager's season 5 episode "Course Oblivion" sees the deaths of the entire USS Voyager crew. The episode opens with the wedding of Lt. B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson) and Lt. Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill), but their happiness is short-lived.
Star Trek: Voyager failed for many reasons including Kate Mulgrew's off-camera issues, B'Elanna Torres's character flaws, and racism around Chakotay. Star Trek: Voyager was the fourth Star Trek series to arrive on television. The three which preceded it were all, in their own way, resoundingly successful.
Summary. The most controversial thing Star Trek: Voyager did was the Seven and Chakotay relationship. It was bad timing to explore a relationship for Seven of Nine. The relationship appeared to be more of a rebound from Janeway than an authentic relationship.
Captain Kathryn Janeway actor Kate Mulgrew accepts responsibility for tensions on Star Trek: Voyager between herself and Seven of Nine actor Jeri Ryan.
Lon Suder, a Betazoid and former Maquis, became the first Starfleet serial killer in Star Trek: Voyager season 2. Producer Michale Piller justified Suder's inclusion by making him a former Maquis, not a true Starfleet officer.
Her character on Star Trek: Voyager (1995), Captain Kathryn Janeway, is regarded by fans as having bipolar disorder because of her erratic actions. Ms. Mulgrew said she blames the writers. Owns/owned a chocolate colored labrador called Gracie.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is arguably the darkest Star Trek show, especially in its later seasons as it depicts the devastating war between the Federation and the Dominion.
The Borg became such iconic and still scary villains that they were brought in as a villain in the film, Star Trek: First Contact, as well as appearances in Voyager and Picard. These robotic creatures are some of the most horrifying in the franchise.
Regarded as the worst Star Trek: The Next Generation film, it's not particularly surprising that Star Trek: Nemesis made the least amount of money at the box office. Nemesis grossed $43,254,409 in the United States, but its budget was about $60 million.
"We lost over a dozen crew members." (Kim in "Nightingale"). Assumption: 141 original crew as stated by Stadi -18 dead +36 Maquis +Tuvok +Paris +Kes +Neelix. The Maquis crew is based on the statements in "Repression" (see below). In "Shattered", on the other hand, Janeway says the ship started off with a crew of 153.
During her time in Star Trek: Voyager, Seven of Nine's physical age ranged from 30 to 34 years old. She was severed from the Borg Collective at 30 and was 34 when Voyager returned to Earth.
Neelix eventually discovers that the real traitor is Michael Jonas, a Maquis engineer. Jonas locks down Engineering, injures Neelix, and attempts to draw Voyager into a trap laid by Kazon forces.
Summary. Jennifer Lien's departure from Star Trek: Voyager was due to creative limitations and the ill-judged romance angle between Kes and Neelix. Kes's short lifespan as an Ocampa limited the storytelling possibilities for her character, contributing to her departure from the show.
Naomi Wildman was born aboard the USS Voyager to Ensign Samantha Wildman in 2372 on stardate 49548.7. She was the first of two children born aboard the Federation starship, the other being Miral Paris. During her birth, Voyager and its crew were duplicated by a spatial scission phenomenon.
How did the cast of Star Trek Voyager get along? The TNG cast all got along swimmingly. They had fun with their roles, Patrick Stewart had learned to loosen up and have fun with the crew, and by the end of the show everyone felt like a family.
Summary. Actress Kate Mulgrew had an issue with co-star Jeri Ryan and her character's inclusion in Star Trek: Voyager. Ensign Harry Kim actor Garrett Wang discusses difficulties during Voyager's filming and says that Mulgrew expressed her frustration through snarky comments and confrontations on set.
No matter how they came together, and despite how many times their struggles were seen from a man's point of view, Janeway and Seven of Nine set a surprising standard for relationships between two strong, successful female characters. They had vastly different worldviews. They didn't even really get along.
Summary. Star Trek: Voyager mishandled Chakotay's Native American identity, portraying it in a stereotypical and offensive manner. The show quickly forgot about Chakotay's identity as a former Maquis freedom fighter, which could have added an interesting dynamic to his character.
Kate Mulgrew prevented Janeway and Chakotay from becoming a couple on Star Trek: Voyager, prioritizing Janeway's likability and reputation. A potential romance between Janeway and Chakotay was also hindered by Starfleet rules, with Janeway focusing on her task of getting Voyager home.
A Chakotay cameo would, therefore, have distracted from the overall story of Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) confronting the trauma of his past. Chakotay being at the head of a fascist government also doesn't fit with his character, as he was a member of the Maquis, which fought against Cardassian oppression.
The two were planning their fourth date in the series finale (“Endgame”) and future Admiral Janeway revealed they did get married in what became an alternate timeline. In that future, Seven was killed on a mission in 2381 and Chakotay died in 2394.
