Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran) is rendered unconscious by a temporal energy blast from the warp core. Upon awakening, Chakotay finds that the Voyager has been "time-zoned," half of the ship is in the past, and half is in the future. In addition to offering a fascinating crash course in Voyager's history (with the help of a few judicious chosen clips from earlier episodes), this episode also marks a return appearance by Dr. Chaotica (Martin Rayner), the central character in the Doctor's (Robert Picardo) holographic novel. "Shattered" was first telecast on January 17, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Voyager is assigned to transport a group of condemned prisoners to their place of execution. Among the unfortunate "guests" is Nygean prisoner Iko (Jeff Kober), whose death sentence is as much the result of his heritage as his actual crimes. A series of probing conversations with Iko causes Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) to suffer pangs of guilt over her previous association with the Borg Collective -- 20 full years of killing without any sort of punishment. "Repentance" first aired on January 31, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Pulled into a seemingly inescapable black void, the Voyager ends up in the middle between two eternally warring (and equally trapped) starships. In hopes of saving her crew, Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) struggles to negotiate a détente between the two fighting factions. But can either side be trusted? And how does The Phantom of the Opera figure into all this? "The Void" made its UPN network bow on February 14, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the conclusion of the two-part "Workforce," Chakotay (Robert Beltram) tries to disable the Quarran energy shield, which is holding the Voyager crew in mind-controlled subjugation. Though Chakotay manages to rescue B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson, who also directed the episode), he has trouble convincing her that she has had any life outside her servitude on Quarra. Meanwhile, the brainwashed Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) is prepared to carry off an assassination -- and her target is Chakotay! The supporting cast includes former Happy Days regular Don Most and John Aniston, father of Friends co-star Jennifer Aniston. "Workforce, Part II" originally aired on February 28, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

John de Lancie returns as the mercurial life force Q, this time with his troublesome son Q2 (played by de Lancie's real-life son, Keegan de Lancie) in tow. Having gone from infant to adolescent in only four years, Q2's personality hasn't quite matured to the level of his physiology, and before long he all but wrecks the Voyager with his destructive pranks. Much to Janeway's (Kate Mulgrew) dismay, Q leaves his son behind on Voyager, hoping that the crew will be able to straighten the boy out. "Q2" originally aired on April 11, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Now that a live transmission system has been set up between Voyager and Earth, the crew receives its first Starfleet order in years. Their mission: To search for Friendship One, an Earth probe that has been missing since the year 2067 A.D. Tracing the probe to a planet held in the grip of nuclear-winter radiation, the Away Team is captured by a band of hostile aliens, who hold all humans responsible for their dismal existence. Janeway's (Kate Mulgrew) only hope to rescue her colleagues is to find a new home planet for the aliens -- but this may not be possible for several years to come. As originally conceived, this episode was to have featured James Cromwell in his Star Trek: First Contact role of Zephram Cochran, but Cromwell was unavailable. "Friendship One" initially aired on April 25, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Tracing the source of some Talaxian messages, Neelix (Ethan Phillips) locates a colony of his own people on an asteroid -- which happens to be in the thick of a devastating war fomented by greedy miners. Now he is forced to make a momentous choice between his Neelix heritage and his loyalty to Voyager. Without giving away the ending, it can be noted that this episode represented Ethan Phillips' final series appearance. "Homestead" was originally broadcast on May 9, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

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

The fifth weekly TV series in the indefatigable Star Trek franchise, Enterprise took the viewer "back to where it all began" (or so read the promotional copy). Set 100 years in the future -- yet still 150 years before the "original" Star Trek series -- the new show charted the origins of the starship Enterprise, beginning with the first close encounter between humans and Klingons. Brought to Starfleet Medical after crash-landing in a rural area, the injured Klingon Klaang is treated with hostility by the attending Vulcan physicians, something that the earthling staffer cannot understand. Pioneering Starfleet pilot Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula), skipper of the recently constructed Enterprise starship, volunteers to take Klaang back to his home planet of Kronos. The continuity proper begins when Klaang is kidnapped en route by the genetically enhanced Sulibans, prompting Archer and his crew to embark upon the first of many bold forays into "where no man has gone before." Much of the series' entertainment value was engendered by displays of "primitive" pre-Federation equipment and paraphernalia, with new technology being introduced with each passing week -- new, that is, to those three or four people who have never seen any of the various Star Trek incarnations. Featured in the cast were Jolene Blalock as Archer's somewhat condescending Vulcanian first officer, T'Pol; John Billingsley as brilliant Vulcan medical doctor Phlox; Linda Park as hyper-kinetic linguistics expert Ensign Hoshi Sato; Connor Trinnear as wisecracking good-ol'-boy engineer Trip Tucker ; Dominic Keating as weapons expert Malcolm Reed; and Anthony Montgomery as navigator Travis Mayweather. Making its much-anticipated UPN premiere as a two-hour special on September 26, 2001, Enterprise settled into its standard 60-minute weekly length thereafter. ~ 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

In this follow-up to the earlier episode "Pathfinder," Robert Picardo plays the dual role of the holographic Doctor and the Doctor's creator, Lewis Zimmerman. With the help of a transmitter rigged by Reginald Barclay (Dwight Schultz), the Doctor is transported to the Alpha Quandrant, in hopes of saving the life of the mortally ill Zimmerman. Alas, Zimmerman turns down this help, on the grounds that the Doctor is a mere Mark One Hologram, and thus dreadfully outdated. Co-written by actor Picardo, "Life Line" first aired on May 10, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

During a nebula blackout, Neelix (Ethan Phillips) is put in charge of the Borg children. To get the kids' minds off the current crisis, Neelix weaves a fantastic ghost story that supposedly occurred during an earlier Voyager mission. Fantasy threatens to become fact when a bona fide alien life form invades the ship. Written by Mike Sussman, Kenneth Biller, and Bryan Fuller from a story by Sussman, "The Haunting of Deck Twelve" originally aired on May 17, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
