The seven-year saga of Star Trek: Voyager ended with the two-part "time-straddling" adventure "Endgame." "Endgame, Pt. 1" begins some ten years after Voyager was able to return to earth, having spent 23 long years in the Delta Quadrant. Presiding over a reunion with her surviving crew, an elderly, white-haired Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), now a Starfleet Admiral, seems strangely unhappy and distant -- especially when someone brings up the name of Seven of Nine. "Borrowing" some downloaded information from Cmdr. Barclay (Dwight Schultz), Janeway travels back in time to help her younger self return home via a quicker route than the Delta Quadrant -- and, she hopes, to spare several of her colleagues from their ultimate dismal fates. Hopscotching between the future and the present, "Endgame, Pt. 1" originally aired on May 23, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Former series regular Jennifer Lien returns to her role of Kes in this tense episode. It is an angry, futuristic version of Kes who arrives on the deck of Voyager, intending to get even with Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), whom she holds responsible for her current misfortunes (even though Kes had left the crew on her own accord, when she found herself unable to control her telekinetic abilities). Harnessing her newly acquired Ocampian powers, which have enhanced her mental skills, Kes sets in motion a plan to extract vital body parts from Janeway and the Voyager crew on behalf of the parasitic Vidiians (who likewise haven't been seen on the series for awhile!). "Fury" first aired on May 3, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This two-part story finds the Voyager smack in the middle of a hologram rebellion. Years earlier, Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) had created a holographic program to enable the Hirogens to learn hunting skills without actually killing anyone or anything. Unfortunately, the Hirogens "improved" upon the program, making it genuinely dangerous -- and the holograms have risen up against their controllers. This tense situation threatens to drive a permanent wedge between Janeway and the Doctor (Robert Picardo), who, of course, is a hologram himself. "Flesh and Blood, Part I" first aired on November 29 2000, in a two-hour block along with Part II. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This updated remake of the 1958 sci-fi cult classic I Married a Monster from Outer Space closely adheres to the same basic plotline as the original. On the eve of his wedding to Kelly Drummond (Susan Walters), good ol' boy Nick Farrell (Richard Burgi) wanders into the woods, where he is promptly abducted by aliens. Despite this ordeal, Nick shows up at the church on time and the wedding proceeds. But Kelly cannot help but notice that there is something "different" about her husband. Whereas previously all Nick cared about was drinking and carousing with his buddies, now he is serious, well-spoken, and curiously insistent that he and Kelly begin making babies as soon as possible. When all of Nick's drinking companions undergo similar character transformations, it becomes obvious to Kelly that the man she married isn't the man she intended to marry, but instead the "host" for an impending invasion from beyond.. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The story of two average women who refused to be silenced and intimidated by the company who manufactured their silicone implants is detailed in this inspirational docudrama starring Mary McDonnell and Gail O' Grady. Sybil Goldrich (McDonnell) was a wealthy California who was devastated to be diagnosed with breast cancer, and Kathleen Anneken (O'Grady) was a typical middle-class mother from Kansas who had always been unhappy with her breast size. Despite their disparate backgrounds and social statuses, both women would soon be drawn together by the tragic circumstances surrounding their decision to receive breast implants. Ignored, mistreated, and disregarded by silicone specialists Dow Corning after they received their implants and fell gravely ill, Goldrich and Anneken became united in their efforts to take their case to the FDA. While proving Down Corning was responsible for their many ailments was a near impossible task, getting their story out to the public was simply a matter of using every opportunity they had to state their case publicly. In the end it was one lawyer who possessed the incriminating evidence needed to bring Down Corning down, and ensure that their cries weren't silenced by the stifling greenback gag of big business. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

When a top secret naval mission leads to the torpedoing of the U.S.S. Indianapolis at the end of WWII, it began one of the most scandalous court-martials in the history of the military. For five days the surviving crew members were left in the shark-infested waters, with only half of them surviving to be rescued. Their well-respected Captain accepted the responsibility to keep the scandal to a minimum but his court-martial only served to show that justice is not always found in military proceedings but rather mere expediency. ~ Tana Hobart, Rovi

The true story of American turncoat John Walker, Jr. is related blow-by-blow in this made-for-TV movie. Powers Boothe stars as Walker, a Navy petty officer who spends half of his career selling secrets to the Soviets.

With the skill and aplomb of the true sociopath, Walker also manages to convince his own son (Andrew Lowry) to join the "family business." The spy ring is ultimately smashed through the joint efforts of the FBI and Walker's embittered ex-wife. Based on the books Family of Spies by Pete Earley and I Pledge Allegiance by Howard Blum, Family of Spies: The Walker Spy Ring was originally telecast in two parts on February 4 and 6, 1990. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
