Star Trek: Voyager - The Complete First Season (DVD, 2004, 5-Disc Set)

The copy I received was not an American verison. It had all the episodes, but not all the special features. I expected to see English only and I saw Japanese or Chinese charaters.

Of all the different Star Trek shows, Voyager has the best writing and the best cast. LOVE IT!!! What I love most is that, since Voyager is in uncharted territory, we get to meet lots of new alien species. Also, Seven of Nine rocks!!!

This item was in excellent condition, and was bought at a great price. It is so hard to find decently priced Star Trek series DVDs, but this one was. Seller was very quick to respond to questions, and sent the product quickly as well. Very happy to find such a great product without the hassle!

Season 1 had its memorable moments. Favorite episodes in order of airing: Caretaker, Ex Post Facto, Prime Factors, State of Flux.

ST Voyager's pilot season had a certain charm and freshness to it that made it very likeable. While the absolute winner in terms of quality of acting and stories is ST: DS9, ST Voyager was a beloved addition to the franchise and to my personal collection.

Kate Mulgrew made an indelible impression upon a generation of young women, many of whom later credited her with their decisions to pursue careers in science and engineering. The remaining cast all contributed greatly in adding depth and breadth to the series, even when some of the story writing seemed lacking.

Come on board with Janeway and the crew to the join the adventure of a life time. See two crews become one and then finally become a family. See the beginning of a great friendship begin between Paris and Kim. One of the greatest adventures of the Star Trek family, begins here.

I love this season! It was a strong start for the show! The first 2 episodes(The Caretaker part 1 and 2) were excellent episodes! Also, it's where Janeway and Chakotay first meet(for all you J/C lovers like me).

I am slowly collecting the series and wanted the 1st season because I kept missing the first part of the Pilot. Now I know the whole story about how they got so far away. All the rest of the shows on this tape are just icing on the cake.
I'm thrilled.
Thank you.

Star Trek Voyager is one of my favorite star trek shows. I like all of the star trek shows but this show takes place in a new part of space, with all new races to get to know. A ship and it's crew stranded so far away from home it will take a lifetime to get home. They are all on their own with no help from the powerful federation to fall back on. With a mixed crew from a ship they were sent to capture and bring to justice. It goes back to the roots of the original show where Kirk and crew faced all new challenges every week. And we were invited to see it first hand. If you enjoy sci-fi this will make an excellent addition to your collection.

I bought thw first season as a gift to my mother, but I also enjoyed it! The storyline is great, and it will have you stuck to your seat! After you watch the first season, you'll want the second. I would recommend this to any science fiction fan.

I never really liked the first season of the show very much. I felt they really foundered looking for the focus of the show. But you gotta have it to complete the set, and I find it easier to let my kids just watch the shows rather than spend more time explaining.

The voyager series is really good. Not as good as Star Trek the Next Generation but it does have interesting characters. The amusing things the holograph doctor does is really funny. I know some people do not like Janeway as the captain but I believe she does a really good job. I just don't think we are used to having a woman in command. She needs attributes that we don't like to see in women. Janeway and Tuvok also bring in the interpersonal relationship of a vulcan and human which is always interesting. Harry Kim is the character that we all would be.

I have bought many dvds from ebay. Many have been new and many have been used. Theres always some concerne when purchasing either. For example; will they have too many scratches to play without interruption or will it even be an english version. So far I have had wonderful luck with both. This Star Trek Voyager was no exception to my good luck. I've already viewed it several times and felt as good of it as if I had purchased it new in a store.

If I had received it from the seller, I am sure I would have enjoyed it! However, I my claim with the seller is still with Paypal.

I started watching it toward the end of its first season when it was on TV, and became an active fan of it. So, I wanted to see what I missed, especially the pilot episode. I wished there were more episodes on the first season's DVD collection.

Contrary to what many Trek nerds would have you believe, Voyager is not the worst Star Trek series, and is not at all a bad show. The acting is superior to that on the beloved The Next Generation (that comment alone will probably have people throwing their Spock ears at their monitors), and I think many of the stories were better. TNG stories always seemed to revolve around spacial anomalies and holodeck malfunctions, which became excruciatingly boring. I wasn't interested in seeing Picard dressed up like Sherlock Holmes and trying to solve a fake mystery, only to be trapped on the holodeck and have the safety mechanisms shut off. As many times as this happened, I would have shut the silly thing down and prohibited its use.

Voyager was so great because it truly put its protagonists into a situation that they could not extricate themselves from. For the first time since the original 1960's series, Star Trek characters truly went where nobody had gone before, discovering new races and acquiring knowledge. And they couldn't call on the federation to save them.

And no doctor has ever been as good in his role as Robert Picardo. That even includes DeForest Kelly, who was exceptional.

Jennifer Lien was also outstanding as Kes, who was very much missed after her departure from the series.

Voyager brought back a lot of the adventure that was inherent in the first Star Trek series, and was lost in TNG. Perhaps it didn't live up to its enormous potential, but it was still a very good series that is, unfortunately, far to often the target of hate by TNG purists and people who like to pick at microscopic details.

I got this for my dad for Christmas. He is retired and loves to have a cup of coffee and watch Voyager whenever he wants.

i love Star Trek, most of my family loves Star Trek . I bought this version of Star Trek for my mother she is a fan of this series. The price on E-bay was awesome and the shipping from this seller was quick and i was able to ship to my mother in Idaho.Watch out Amazon.
Thanks E-bay

Star Trek Voyager is a great addition to any Trek fans collection. To join Capt. Janeway and crew on their missions across space is very enjoyable to watch.

Growing up a Star Trek fan, a goal of mine is to have every season on DVD. I used this purchase to slowly start accumulating all of them. It has lived up to expectations.

In Voyager, at last, we are given an extraordinary set of circumstances which allow us to both use the Federation ideals and morals and see what happens when context makes them impossible to fully obey.

The ship is 70,000 light years from Federation space (about 50 years) and completely cut off from all of it's known allies and "friendly" space. A female captain and a crew cobbled together by a variety of dispirit events creates tension, humor and pathos. In Voyager, we watch complex situations unfold over time and finally see what it looks like when reality hits the Trek universe. This crew, these people create home and family on the ship, knowing they very well never see their own again. They are forced to find the means to resupply, repair and re-arm Voyager without the benefit of any typically known resources. They make situational truces with their enemies when circumstance makes it expedient and then have to turn around and choose a side when necessity dictates that they "get their hands dirty". All of which flies in the face of the Federation's famous Prime Directives. Life on Voyager gets messy. The solution to problems is rarely cut and dried. Everyone aboard (including the captain) makes questionable choices and demonstrates less-than admirable behavior from time-to-time but they learn and they go on............ Something we can all relate to.

The characters are compelling and likable. The ship has organic, living components (perhaps part of the inspiration for Moya on Farscape?) and the captain has to serve in a variety of roles including, but not limited to, military chief of staff, general in battle, den-mother, matriarch and occasionally even babysitter. Kate Mulgrew is more than up to the task and I shudder to think of what the show might have been (or not) had Genevieve Bujould (sp?) actually stayed in the part.....

In Voyager, life genuinely plays itself out. Good, bad, indifferent it's all there to see. These people aren't the model of selflessness and propriety we usually get in the Trek universe; they are human. With all of the dilemmas, doubts and questionable behavior that comes along with it. Voyager successfully navigates the distance between the "lightness" of the world that is Star Trek and the "darkness" found in Babylon 5. Is it perfect sci-fi?................................. Of course not. But what is?
.................. Well, maybe Firefly. But that didn't get 7 seasons. Voyager makes the limited run of Firefly and the ending of Stargate SG1 bearable and really, what more can you ask .

Oh, I forgot to add, KICK-ASS bad guys/species and they periodically trash the ship completely (and I mean going so far as to crash it on a planet or blow holes the size of cars in it) all in service of the reality of their surroundings and story-line.

what does the producers of trek do after 3 other series! put a crew out in space and lose them 70000 light years away for earth,alot of stories to tell,and they did!! and again a great cast. star trek is different then any other sci fi out there,why if you look closer youll see your self in one or more of the cast.and a great opening show with the caretaker.

I myself have not watched this series; I bought it as a gift for my Dad. However, he absolutely loves it and couldn't be more happy with my purchase! So, it comes highly recommended.

I purchased this item from a new ebayer and never received it. She quickly cashed my personal check for $57.00 and now I understand she is not even a registered member anymore. Beware! To have your money taken just sucks.

We love the whole Voyager series. We just need the second season to complete the entire run of seven seasons. The first season is very important to understand the gist of the story line.
