The "Year of Hell" episodes of Star Trek: Voyager are a great example of the show pushing the crew and the ship to the brink. With a skeleton crew, depleted resources, and a battered ship, the crew is desperate for help. Unfortunately, the use of the infamous Voyager-reset-button makes all of this seem moot, as nothing that was seen in the episodes has any lasting repercussions.

Kurtwood Smith's performance as the villain Annorax is a highlight, as he provides a nuanced and understandable antagonist. However, the episode also reveals Janeway's shortcomings as a captain. She acts in accordance with what she believes a captain should do instead of considering the best course of action, and her decisions are often disconnected from the individual situations. This makes Janeway one of the worst captains in Starfleet history.

The crew of the U.S.S Voyager come under attack from a mysterious Krenim Temporal Ship, which has the power to alter the course of evolution by wiping out entire species from the timeline. This double episode is packed with action, drama and ambition, with intricate FX and stage design adding to the impressive overall effect.

Kes had warned the crew about the Krenim before she left, but unfortunately, the warning fell on deaf ears. The crew entered the part of the galaxy anyway, and soon find out the devastating implications of their actions. Janeway is always doing her best for the crew, and her dedication is admirable. Sadly, in this timeline, Kes and her warning got erased too. It's a heavy episode, as the crew must confront the consequences of their mistake.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Message in a Bottle, the crew discovers an ancient communications relay that extends to the Alpha Quadrant. With the help of the Doctor, they are able to send him to a Federation ship, the experimental U.S.S. Prometheus, only to find that the ship has been taken over by the Romulans.

The episode is full of suspense and high stakes, filled with entertaining moments and humorous dialogue. Andy Dick plays the EMH-2 and provides some comedic relief. It's a great episode that also moves the overall narrative of the show forward, introducing a new enemy in the form of the Hirogen, while also tying into the Dominion War story arc from the show Deep Space Nine. Additionally, the episode has some emotional moments at its conclusion. This is the first time that the Alpha Quadrant is made aware of Voyager's existence, which is a huge milestone. It's an enjoyable and memorable episode, and a fan favorite.

The episode Scorpion (2) of Star Trek: Voyager follows the crew's attempt to negotiate with the Borg and secure safe passage for their ship and its crew. In order to help with the negotiations, the Borg send over a drone designated Seven of Nine as a representative of the collective. Seven of Nine provides an insight into the Borg collective and their tactical decision making.

The episode raises several questions, such as why a Borg ship has an atmosphere, and how Voyager gets their hands on Type III Phaser rifles. These questions are likely due to production issues, as it is established the Borg do not need air, and the Type III Phaser rifles were not introduced until two years after Voyager left the Alpha Quadrant. However, the episode still provides an entertaining and insightful look into the Borg collective and Seven of Nine's character.

The episode was rated 8.22 from 614 votes.
