Rating:  - good start to series
I'll keep this short, since this was a short season (they deferred several episodes to season 2). Season 1 is kind of a mixed bag. The show starts out with a lot of promise, and there is better to come. However, I think the last couple of episodes are a let-down. The season definitely ended with a whimper.
There were several good episodes, but overall the show does not have the strength that it will in later seasons. Chiefly among my complaints is that the 2-hour opener is badly paced in some places and some of the plots seem recycled or very generic. For a show that is supposed to be about being alone with a potentially hostile crew, many of the episodes seemed like they forgot that.
What really saves the show is two things. First, the Holographic Doctor (Robert Picardo) is great. Second, the show does have a good cast and they really do gel together well. The first season lays the foundation for things to come, and I have to say that the cast was very good through-out the seven year run.
One final comment. Lower the price since this is 15/16 episodes compared to future seasons! Paramount is making enough off this series, so this should be lower than the other seasons.
Rating:  - Love show, but not price !!
ST:Voyager is one of my favorite shows and hope to own them all on DVD, but not until the price comes way down around $30.00 !!
5 stars for the show, 1 star for the price = 3 stars
Rating:  - Awful Trek series
I tried to give this a chance, but it was hard right off the bat with Janeway's "I prefer to be called 'Captain'". I guess she's just too special to follow the standard all the rest of Starfleet goes by. This just started her off in an unfavorable light and as my least favorite captain of all the series.
What broke the camel's back, however, was the episode in which she berates the crew for trading stories in order to get the tech to get home nearly instantly (granted it did not work). Consider that half the crew were in revolt against Starfleet. Now consider that the captain of the ship they are on refuses to let them get home because she feels trading tecj for stories violates the Prime Directive (the most over used and abused theme in all of Trek). Mutanies have happened over less on ships on which the entire crew was all aligned with the captain at the ofset. Yet the crew of Voyager say, "Oh, OK" and leave it at that. Sorry, but there would have been a full fledged revolt had something like that happened.
I just could not watch again (at least not regularly, I did catch a few here and there in later seasons) after that.
Rating: - dissapointed
I was actually dissapointed with the quality of the first shipment, it had missing disks and disks that didnt belong there.
On the other hand the poor quality of the firt order was corrected as quickly as could be expected.

What can one say about ST:Voyager? It ran with top notch special effects and a well-selected cast. Though a great fan of DS9, ST:Voyager had a compelling storyline with a twist, a female captain, Katherine Janeway . This concept broke the old Star Trek mold by proving that a woman can be as "cowboy" as Jim Kirk, as "eloquent" as Jean-Luc Picard, and as "unyielding" as Benjamin Sisco. Season One lands the crew of the Intrepid-Class explorer Starship in the depths of the Delta Quadrant after an encounter with a space anomaly while chasing down the Maquis. This season is mostly about the integration and initial difficulties that a ship built for only 6 month deployments has to face over 75 years from home. Considering the lack of decent TV these days, I recommend that Sci-Fi and Drama fans grab ST:Voyager and set sail for the unknown.
