The third 'new generation' [[Star Trek]], it ran for seven seasons, from January 1995 through May 2001. In the first episode, the [[Cool Starship|''USS Voyager'']] was [[The Call Knows Where You Live|pulled across the galaxy by an alien device]]. Janeway destroyed the device during a battle rather than let it be misused, stranding her ship seventy-five years' travel time from home.
For the next seven seasons, the Voyager looked for a shortcut [[The Homeward Journey|back to Earth]] while dodging or defeating the assortment of [[Aliens and Monsters]]. They even crossed paths with a pair of Ferengi that had been zapped to the Delta Quadrant back in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Next Generation]]'', at least one Romulan, and even another Starfleet vessel, also kidnapped by the Caretaker and trying to get back to the Federation.
Line 13:
The show was a frustrating mix of genuinely good entertainment and "safe" old [[Star Trek]] stand-bys. Part of this was a predominance with episodes of the [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]] between Seven-Of-Nine and The Doctor. The lackluster response to ''Voyager'' was actually a serious consideration to hold off on further [[Star Trek]] series ([[Executive Meddling|which was demanded anyway]]). But it was also the near-magical power of the technology in this series that made them decide upon a less-evolved [[Prequel]] series in ''[[Enterprise]]''.
That said, ''Voyager'' was notable for taking on stories and subjects that even its very daring sister series, ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space Nine]]'', didn't touch—the crew encountered a Starfleet vessel that was willing to totally discard its Federation principles for the sake of getting home, faced the Borg on their home turf, and even tackled the moral and ethical implications of assisting in a suicide.
''Voyager'' is known throughout ''Trek'' fandom as a series that featured an episode so ''incredibly'' sub-par that both the fans ''and the producers'' unofficially struck it from canon after it aired (unless you count an offhand comment in a later episode...which ''[[Canon Discontinuity|officially]]'' strikes it from canon).
