What is everyone's top 5 episodes per season? Here's mine:
Season 1
Jetrel - So touching, Phillips is a great actor.
Phage- The Vidiians were excellent villains, truly
quite scary villains.
Prime Factors- Brilliant concept! The prime-directive
turns against the stuck up Federites for once!
Eye of the Needle- Another great concept
Faces- Yay, more Vidiians, the much underused villain
of Voyager were definitely the best.
Season 2
Deadlock- Sure it made no sense but seeing Voyager
get blown to pieces over and over again was great fun,
very dramatic with Harry and "Naomi" dying too.
Resolutions- I'm not a J/C-er but I can see the
attraction. I just loved the idea of the episode
and loved how they were both getting on on the planet,
I think this episode is great.
The Thaw - Unique style, look, idea. SOme really unique
ideas in some of these season 2 episode - although I find
most are mediocre
Lifesigns- More vidiians yay. Quite an emotional episode
Persistence of Vision - I don't love it but its the 5th best
of a mediocre bunch
Season 3
Before and After - love this episode, Kes gets new
hair and we get a high concept sci-fi story and a future
for Kes that never was.
Remember- I've always like B'Ellana Torres and found
this episode to be quite touching.
Worst Case Scenario- A "fun romp"- something I believe
season 3 did quite well
Scorpion- Species 8472 were always a cool alien...
before Chakotay kissed one that is.
Distant Origin- crazy idea yes but still, well directed
and great make up!
Season 4
Waking Moments- Nightmare on Elm Street in space,
as a big fan of the NOES movies, I just loved the
dream plot of this episode.
Hope and Fear - A decision or Janeway finally comes
back to bite her in the ass. I loved that Janeway
had to face up to what could be considered a mistake.
The final scene where the ship drops out of warp
with only that one guy on board while the Borg say
"You will be assimilated..." is one of my favorite moments
in Voyager.
The Killing Game: A great two parter, much better than the
season 2 two parter "Future's End"
Message in a Bottle: Its darned hard to pick
my favorite episodes from season 4, so many good
episodes. This one was funny but I was annoyed
how early in the series they got in contact with
earth.
One: Ooonnneeee!
Honorable mention- The Gift is a great episode
but Kes leaving makes the episode a little too
bitter to make my list.
Season 5:
Night- The scene with all the lights going out is
wonderful and so is the whole concept of the episode.
I could have watched more than just one episode in
this void.z
Once Upon a Time- Tremendous acting from Phillips here, I'm
literally getting teary eyed just thinking about it.
Counterpoint- Mulgrew kissed the script after she
read it and it sure is grrrreat.
Someone to Watch Over Me- Despite what the UPN trailer
may suggest (I implore you to youtube it), this episode
is good fun and any Seven episode is a plus.
Equinox Part I- Another ship! WOOOOOOH.
Season 6
Blink of an Eye- Loved the concept! A little less impressive
on the second watch but certainnly had an impact the first
time round.
Barge of the Dead- Ronald D. Moore, if only you'd stayed.
One of the best character episodes in all of Trek, just
freaking fantabulous!
Ashes to Ashes- I do miss Star Trek, where else can you
get storylines like this? Deadcrewman ressurected by Alien species
and returns to Voyager! Such a touching episode.
Muse- Another excellent B'Ellana episode, it was fun
seeing the Voyager crew depicted by this ancient Greek-esque
dramatists.
Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy- Fun episode
Dishonorable mentions:
Virtuoso- the Doctor was already starting to piss me
off a little in "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy" but
this was just the icing on the cake, from here I
found the Doctor increasingly insufferable.
Fury: Kes comes back and tries to kill everyone despite
supposedly turning into God in season 4: nuff said.
Season 7
Lineage: Another excellent character episode for
B'Ellana, one of the best character episodes in
Voyager.
Body & Soul: Jeri sure does do a great Picardo impression,
the cheesecake part was hilarious!
Natural Law: I loved seeing Seven out of her comfort zone
and yeah, it was just very good.
The Void: A bit like "Night" in a way,good fun though.
Human Error: Generally derided but I found it pretty touching!
