Why Star Trek: Voyager’s 2-Part Episodes Were Great
2-part episodes were Voyager’s version of Star Trek movies.
Star Trek : Voyager ’s twelve 2 - part episode embraced cinematic storytelling withhigh - stakes adventure , like feature flick . The USS Voyager confront off against the Borg in " Scorpio " and " Dark Frontier " , with the introduction of Seven of Nine ( Jeri Ryan ) , and the return key of theBorg Queen ( Susannah Thompson ) , and " Unimatrix Zero " further expanded Borg traditional knowledge from what was established inStar Trek : First Contact . The bestVoyagerepisodes feature new Delta Quadrant adversaries , the Hirogen , were " The Killing Game " , with period costuming and sets in a holodeck refreshment of World War II , and the follow - up " Flesh and Blood " , which explored the ramifications of Janeway ’s decision .
Some ofVoyager ’s near episodes were 2 - parters . In the delicious " Future ’s End " , Voyager ’s crew chased a twenty-ninth - century time agent to 1990s San Francisco , inVoyager ’s take onStar Trek IV : The Voyage Home . " Equinox " revealed a path that Janeway could have take when Voyager met another , less - painstaking , Starfleet vas in the Delta Quadrant . " Year of Hell " had a year - long battle that test the USS Voyager ’s last reserves , and could have been a full season without losing any of its shininess . With high concepts that promised riveting action andStar Trek ’s earmark philosophy , each 2 - part episode expanded the scope of whatStar Trek : Voyagercould be , just as Brannon Braga intend .
