To replenish the fleet's water supply, Apollo visits a prison ship to find recruits for an ice-mining operation. He ends up being taken hostage by the convicts' leader (Richard Hatch), an alleged terrorist. Elsewhere, Adama assigns Baltar to create a device to weed out Cylon moles; and Boomer tries to rescue Helo under the watchful eyes of Number Six and Doral (Matthew Bennett). ~ Michael Chant, Rovi

The Serenity visits Ariel, a core planet, which has all the amenities and is under complete Alliance control. Inara (Morena Baccarin) has to undergo physical exams to renew her companion license. River (Summer Glau) becomes violent, slashing Jayne (Adam Baldwin) with a knife without provocation. The crew needs work, but Mal (Nathan Fillion) is leery of looking for it on Ariel. Simon (Sean Maher) offers them a job. If they get him and River into the diagnostic lab of the local hospital so he can figure out what was done to River at the Academy, Simon will tell the crew which drugs are the most valuable, so they can steal them. After patching up a junked space ambulance, stealing uniforms and forging ID badges, they're ready to go. River and Simon are brought to the hospital disguised as corpses. While Mal (Nathan Fillion) and Zoe (Gina Torres) go to get the drugs, Jayne takes the siblings to the diagnostic lab. At one point, Jayne sneaks off and makes contact with a federal agent (Blake Robbins). He has his own devious plan -- to turn Simon and River in for a huge reward. In the lab, Simon learns that the Academy repeatedly operated on River's brain, stripping away the part that allowed her to keep her emotions in check. He downloads the brain scan for further study, and then Jayne leads them right into the hands of the feds. The feds double-cross Jayne, so as those creepy blue-handed government operatives whom River dreads arrive at the hospital, Jayne tries to help Simon and River escape. ~ Rovi

Hoping to polish up her human social skills, Seven of Nine goes to the holodeck, where she creates duplicates of the Voyager crew. Unfortunately, her relationships with both her real and holographic colleagues -- to say nothing of her emotions and her sense of duty -- go quite askew. The episode's highlight is the "faux" baby shower for Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson). "Human Error" was first telecast on March 7, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the conclusion of the two-part Star Trek: Voyager finale "Endgame," the elderly, silver-haired Admiral Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) has travelled back in time to alter the unhappy fates of several of her former Voyager shipmates, and to help her younger self return to Earth via a shorter route than the phlegmatic Delta Quadrant. "Old" Janeway explains to "Young" Janeway that it is possible to escape an attack by the Borg Queen (Alice Krige) without being forced into enduring an additional two decades in space. Curiously, however, the crew resists this opportunity to abbreviate their long journey -- and none is more resistant than Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), who is willing to face down the Borg and save millions of lives, even at the inevitable cost of her own. Both "Engame, Pt. 1" and "Endgame, Pt. 2" were originally seen over the UPN network on May 23, 2001, bringing the seven-year saga of Star Trek: Voyager to a rousing and (one hopes) satisfying dénouement. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Suffering amnesia after a crash landing on a Nietzchean world, Tyr (Keith Hamilton Cobb) is sheltered by an enslaved human female (Linnea Sharples) and her son (Noel Fisher). Unaware of his past connections and confrontations with the Nietzchean Drago-Kazov pride, who hold the planet in thrall, Tyr ends up trying to protect a mysterious crate -- and its extremely valuable contents -- from the villains. "Music of a Distant Drum" first aired on February 5, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Logan (Michael Weatherly) is disturbed by reports that a huge, vicious canine-like human is attacking and killing sector police. The prime suspect is the Manticore fugitive Joshua (Kevin Durand), but he is innocent -- though he knows all too well the identity of the guilty party. Meanwhile, Max (Jessica Alba) and Alec (Jensen Ackles) continue trying to outfox one another, until Alec indicates that he has bigger fish to fry (and may get "fried" himself in the process) by landing a job at Jam Pony. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Upon returning from a two-week exploratory mission, Chakotay (Robert Beltran) and shuttle crew Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill), Kim (Garrett Wang), and Neelix (Ethan Phillips) begin experiencing hallucinatory flashbacks to a bloody land battle which none of them remember having, with an enemy they have never met. Neelix is so adversely affected by these memories that he goes temporarily insane, taking Naomi (Scarlett Pomers) hostage. It is up to the rest of the crew to determine if these horrible visions of war are real or phony -- and what to do about them in either case. "Memorial" made its TV debut on February 2, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Renewed hope for a quick return to Earth arrives at the Voyager in the form of a "special delivery" from the Alpha Quadrant. A hologram of liaison officer Reginald Barclay (Dwight Schultz) is brought on board for the avowed purpose of leading the crew back home through a geodesic fold. Meanwhile, the real Barclay finds out that his hologram has been sabotaged and the Voyager is headed for disaster! "Inside Man" was originally telecast on November 8, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda was launched on October 2, 2000, with "Under the Night," episode one of a two-part story. Kevin Sorbo stars as Captain Dylan Hunt of the Systems Commonwealth High Guard, with Steve Bacic as Hunt's first officer Generis Rhade. Betrayed by Rhade -- who, after all, is only a sub-human Nietzchean -- Hunt and his starship Andromeda Ascendant, which occasionally takes the form of a holographic A.I. avatar called Rommie (Lexa Doig), are trapped in a black hole and left in frozen stasis for 300 years. As Hunt snoozes the centuries away, the Commonwealth falls, leaving the universe at the mercy of various hostile Nietzchean prides. Upon being awakened, Hunt finds himself under siege by Beka Valentine (Lisa Ryder), mercenary captain of the Eureka Maru, who has been hired by Nightsider Gerentex (John Tench) to capture Andromeda on behalf of the Nietzcheans. The starship's crew includes the enormous Nietzchean Tyr Anasazi (Keith Hamilton Cobb), the enigmatic Trance Gemini (Laura Bertram), the intensely religious Rev Bem (Brent Stait), and the resourceful, but slightly unstable engineer, Seamus Harper (Gordon Michael Woolvett). Hoping to locate and recover what is left of the Commonwealth, Hunt begs Beka to leave him alone, but she is unmoved -- until her betrayal at the hands of Gerentex and Tyr. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
