Star Trek: Voyager - Season 02

Season two of Star Trek: Voyager opens on a hopeful note, as Voyager captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) comes upon evidence that she is close to escaping the void of the Gamma Quadrant and returning herself and her crew to Starfleet Command in the Alpha Quadrant. But alas! This hope is soon dashed, with Janeway no closer to her home base than before. In the episodes that follow, Voyager's holographic Doctor (Robert Picardo) is given reason to believe that he is real and everything else is a hologram; Janeway's first officer, Chakotay (Robert Beltran), has a dangerous reunion with former lover Seska (Martha Hackett), who has aligned herself with the dreaded Kazon; the human Lt. Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and the Talaxian Neelix (Ethan Phillips) vie for the affections of the Ocampan Kes (Jennifer Lien); a curious phenomenon causes the entire crew to be duplicated, with Neelix and the Vulcan Tuvok (Tim Russ) merging into a single being; Chakotay and Janeway become mortally ill; apparently mild-mannered crew person Jonas (Raphael Sbarge) reveals himself to be a turncoat; and the crew must contend with the mercurial Q (John DeLancie), a familiar nemesis from the earlier series Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the season's cliffhanger finale, Seska lures the crew into a Kazon trap, the Voyager is captured, and most of the principal characters a marooned on a desolate planet resembling a prehistoric Earth. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
