            (Added September 8, 1999) Star Trek: Voyager: Equinox, Part II (Conclusion). In the sixth-season opener, the Voyager is attacked by the aliens, and as Janeway plots to recapture Ransom (John Savage) and his crew, the Equinox is equally determined to escape with the Doctor and Seven of Nine as hostages. Max: Titus Welliver.

        • Star Trek Continuum

          • (From Equinox--Season Finale) The U.S.S. Voyager finds another Federation starship lost in the Delta Quadrant, the science vessel U.S.S. Equinox, and helps it stave off an attack by creatures from another spatial realm. Captain Janeway now has a kindred spirit in its commander, Captain John Ransom, and helps him salvage his war-torn vessel so they can journey home together. But when The Doctor retrieves data from the U.S.S. Equinox research lab, Janeway learns the hard truth that Captain Ransom has seriously violated the Starfleet oath by commiting mass murder in the Delta Quadrant. When she strips him of his command and confines him to quarters, he and his crew manage to escape with the U.S.S. Voyager's advanced technology - and The Doctor and Seven of Nine as hostages aboard their ship.

            "Though most TV series only started coming off hiatus last week, Voyager's sixth season is well underway. Shooting has been completed on the first two episodes, while the third is currently in production and a script for the fourth is nearly completed. Here are Braga's previews of the first four episodes" [listed under each title]
            Braga's preview of this episode: "Equinox, Part II": "Obviously, the first episode is going to be part two of our cliffhanger from last year, in which Voyager encountered another Starfleet crew led by Capt. Ransom, played by John Savage. That's a very good episode. We're very proud of it. It's one of the rare occasions where the second part is better than the first part. It's Capt. Janeway and Capt. Ransom, two Starfleet captains, two Starfleet vessels, going head to head in a battle for survival."

            Sandy asks:
            When does the new season start filming?

            Ron B. Moore:
            Started last Tuesday [June 8]. We started it on the beach, as the first day was on location. Try to figure out how that figures into the story.

          • Equinox, Part II

            Concludes the storyline started in the fifth season finale, "Equinox". Seven of Nine must try to stop Captain Ransom from getting too far away from Voyager from within the Equinox, where she was left stranded at the end of "Equinox I". On Voyager, Janeway, whose life was put in peril at the end of the first part, must try to establish communication with the alien beings in order to prevent the Equinox's continued exploitation of them. Outraged at Ransom's betrayal of Starfleet, the Federation and Voyager, Janeway becomes consumed by her vendetta against him and begins using reckless, dangerous tactics to stop him which cast her morals in as much doubt as Ransom's own tactics, such that there will be a falling out between Janeway and Chakotay so large that he considers staging a mutiny.

            On the Equinox, Seven of Nine's presence on board begins instilling second thoughts into Ransom about his acts. To get information out of Seven of Nine, he strips Voyager's own EMH (still aboard the Equinox) of his own ethical subroutines in order to do a ruthless procedure on Seven of Nine. And contrary to rumor (see below), Voyager's EMH will not be irrevocably lost. In fact, Voyager's Doctor has a hand in deleting his Equinox counterpart.

            Some crewmembers do come aboard Voyager and will apparently be confined to the Brig, at first. They will be stripped of their rank, busted down to crewmen and will have to earn the trust of Voyager's crew before they are allowed to participate on Voyager. Although speculation favors Ensign Marla Gilmore (Olivia Birkelund), some rumors say that it will be Noah Lessing (Rick Worthy).

            By CHRISTOPHER ALLAN SMITH
            "It’s called ‘Survival Instinct,’" says Berman. "It’s an episode that deals with some ex-drones who find themselves on the ship and have an obvious deep dark secret that something that happened in the past with Seven of Nine that she has to resolve and there’s a lot of really moody flashbacks from when Seven of Nine was still a drone. It’s just terrific."

          • (Added July 14, 1999) Insider News and Rumors--Voyager Season Preview--Braga's preview of this episode: "Survival Instinct": "In the second episode you will see Seven of Nine as a full Borg about 10 years ago. It's a flashback episode [focusing on] a tragic but revealing event from that time."

          • Scarlett was thrilled to return to the set after such a long absense. She will mostly be working with Jeri Ryan in this episode. From what I've heard, Scarlett scenes with Jeri in this episode will be "the cutest yet." It is the second episode of the season.

        • From Star Trek News.
          • (Added July 12, 1999) Jeri Ryan had to spend three filming days back in full Borg attire for this episode.
          • (Added July 4, 1999) "The episode is set on a space station, where Seven of Nine encounters three ex-Borg who are disconnected from the Collective but are still linked with each other. The Borg encountered in this episode were part of Seven's Adjunct, and are named Two, Three and Four of Nine. Eight years prior to this episode, she and these Borg were accidentally disconnected to the Borg. When this occured, their memories of their previous lives kicked in and they refused to return to the Collective, however Seven was able to force them to return. (Although this seems inconsistent with the story Seven related in "One" about how she was once disconnected from the Collective)."

            A Seven of Nine episode.

        • From WebTrek.
          • (Added August 24, 1999) The three ex-Borg come to Seven to try to find out why they have been telepathically linked together in sort of a 'mini-collective'. The reason they are linked is a bit surprising, and leaves Seven with a very difficult choice to make regarding the ex-drones' futures. The show has lots of flashbacks to seven as a borg.
          • (Added July 4, 1999) The three ex-Borg were part of the Nine, Seven's original collective. These three (2, 3 and 4 of Nine) have been disconnected from the Borg Collective and have also become progressively more human (while still being linked together as Borg). They are at odds with one another about rejoining the collective.

            By CHRISTOPHER ALLAN SMITH
            It’s going to be a remarkable episode that has to do with Belana finding herself on the Barge of the Dead taking her and her mother to Klingon Hell. That is one hell of an episode. We finished cutting it about a week ago and it’s just remarkable. It’s a journey of self-discovery of Belana but it’s very spooky and has great production values and a lot of Klingons.

        • Cinescape Online
          • (Added July 14, 1999) Insider News and Rumors--Voyager Season Preview--Braga's preview of this episode: "Barge of the Dead": "We're going to Klingon hell in the third episode. Torres will have a spiritual experience in which she ends up on something called 'the Barge of the Dead,' which is filled with dishonored Klingons on a river Styx on their way to Klingon hell. That's going to be a very ambitious, sort of bizarre episode."

        • From Star Trek News.
          • (Added August 24, 1999) "Guest Starring Eric Pierpoint (Alien Nation) as the Klingon barge operator. Apparently, this episode is very weak and may be delayed in order to conduct re-shoots of this episode. Thanks to Jules and the Coffee Nebula."

            An episode dealing with B'Elanna and this year's Day of Honor. In case there was any doubt, it isn't really named "Day of Honor, The Sequel".

            "This is the first episode [?] written by Ronald D. Moore since his addition to the Voyager staff. Moore was an Executive Producer at Deep Space Nine. There's some speculation that B'Elanna may be in for a rebirth this season, and this episode will apparently emphasize a turn to B'Elanna's Klingon side."

        • From WebTrek.
          • (September 8, 1999) B'Elanna dies in a shuttle mishap, and finds herself on the Barge of the Dead on her way to Gre'thor as a dishonored Klingon. She also finds her mother there suffering the same fate. Because B'Elanna blew off everything Klingon, her mother is also condemned to Gre'thor instead of Stova'kor. B'Elanna is eventually revived, but elects to have the doctor put her back into a near death state so she can rescue her mother from damnation. Whether or not her mother is really dead and if this is all a dream or real is never revealed. [ Thanks to '415Man' ]
          • (August 24, 1999) Barge of The Dead has apparently not been well received and is being pushed back. It's currently being recut and undergoing some reshoots.
          • (Added July 4, 1999) "Barge of the Dead centers around a Klingon myth about a barge who ferries the dead to their final destination, be it Stova'kor or Gre'thor (the Klingon hell). This story also features B'Elanna's mother, Miral."

        • Star Trek Continuum
          • (Added October 8, 1999) When we asked Robert Picardo ("The Doctor" Star Trek: Voyager) about the upcoming episode "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy" he was very enthusiastic, calling it the most successful Star Trek: Voyager comedy to date. "I'm completely delighted with how it turned out. To my knowledge it's the only Star Trek: Voyager episode directed by an Academy Award winner!" Episode director John Bruno won an Oscar award for his work as Visual Effects Supervisor on "The Abyss" in 1989. He has also been nominated seven times since 1985 in the same category.
          • Picardo also joked that for those missing the episode (airing just prior to his upcoming chat) he would be forced to "graciously but firmly decline to answer their questions." He also added, "They will miss me sketching Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) in the nude." How's that for incentive?

            We also have a wonderful Walter Mitty type episode called "Tinker Tenor, Doctor Spy" which is a story about some aliens that decide to tap into our Doctor to spy on us, but what they’re not aware of is that what they’re spying on is not the reality of the Doctor but in fact his new day dreaming program. And the results are potentially catastrophic but extremely funny. It’s a real tour de force on the part of [Robert] Picardo.

            "[Voyager] will discover the ruins of an ancient civilization that was destroyed five hundred years ago, and there's a vast army of these aliens in stasis waiting to be released. This Pandora's box is opened and a group of aliens that dominated the Delta Quadrant half a millennium ago will come back and try to take control again," Braga said. "They were kind of the Borg of their day. They're only warp two capable and have projectile weapons, but they're going to do their [@#$%edest] to come back. It's up to Voyager to put the genie back in the bottle." Braga also revealed that the as-yet-unnamed race will be "humanoid, but very weird looking.

To avoid a surprise attack by the Turei, territorial race, our crew lands on a planet where they encounter a species (the Vaadwaur) that has been in stasis for almost 900 years. In order to escape, Janeway solicits the help of this species. In return, she promises to find a suitable planet for this species to take over. Later, Janeway learns that this species is quite violent and is bent on using Voyager's technology to create and expand their violent culture. This leaves Janeway with no other choise than to negotiate with the Turei to defeat this violent species.

        • Sci-Fi Entertainment Magazine

            (Added October 16, 1999) "The sixth episode is a ghost story centered around Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill). 'It's kind of like Christine, that Stephen King novel, done Sci-Fi style,' according to Braga. 'It's spooky and seductive episode.'"

            (McNeill says) "We come upon a junk-yard in space, and we trade for some things we can use. I find this old, beat-up shuttle that I fall in love with. It's a fixer-upper kind of thing."

            "The shuttle is not just any ordinary shuttle; it takes on this life of its own, and develops [a] relationship with Paris and starts to control him in many ways. It's [essentially] haunted by this technological ghost." The episode, McNeill adds, is a good character episode, "because it allows him [Paris] to deal with someone different, so he's a little freer to express where he's at right now, after six years of now being on Voyager."

            "'I don't do all that much in this episode. This is a show that features Ensign Paris,' Picardo prefaces. 'The scene you just saw with the alien in sickbay, that's the alien junk dealer who was basically the former victim of this shuttle. And now Tom Paris is in its clutches, and we're just trying to discover how to get him back and to find out where the shuttle will be going, where it's taking Tom.'"

            McNeill agrees that "Alice" is a particularly fun episode....The actor cites several strong scenes, but singles out the one in which Torres first suspects that all is not right with Paris. 'B'Elanna dramatically realizes that something very wrong is going on, and she goes to find help and get the captain. It was really a nicely written scene, because it allowed me to go for it emotionally in terms of being free to yell and scream and do things that Paris doesn't normally do.'"

            We have wonderful show called "Alice" which is about a small vessel we find that Paris falls in love with, literally. And it becomes a great Paris-Belana story.

            Adding to that, Berman switches gear and adds, "We have a very strong episode which we’ve just completed which has to do with Neelix and Tuvok in … I guess I would compare it to similar to the film AWAKENINGS in which he’s lost his memories and Vulcan controls and most of the things that make him Vulcan and there’s this lovely relationship that develops between him and Neelix that inevitably has to be destroyed when Tuvok has to be brought back [to himself]."

        • From WebTrek.
          • (Added October 31, 1999) Making Tuvok lose his memory was done with the the intention of making him less "stiff" and that's probably what writer Bryan Fuller meant with "re-defining" the character earlier this year. Whether this will truly carry through into other episodes remains to be seen.
            The first episode directed by actress Roxann Dawson (B'Elanna Torres). Features Narok, an alien inspector. He's been hunting a species of aliens for years. He's a little eccentric in his theories, a little obsessed with his goal of finding these aliens. Also features a Vulcan Master and a strange, eerie alien. Originally titled "Paradigm."
          • (Added September 8, 1999) This episode is about a race of aliens that have spent their entire existance is a state of being cloaked and collect info about other races. Tuvok gets hit by one of the alien's weapons which erases his memory. He becomes a child who cannot even speak, and he forgets what it is like to be Vulcan. Neelix helps him to cope and they become very close. In fact, Tuvok doesnt want to become 'Vulcan' again because he wont be able to 'have fun' with Neelix. Formerly titled "Paradigm."

          • (Added November 14, 1999) An encounter with a powerful interstellar phenomenon leads Chakotay, Paris and Seven of Nine in search of a manned Mars probe that disappeared 300 years earlier. The Doctor: Robert Picardo (who also directed).

        • From TrekToday.
          • (October 31, 1999) In the new edition of his Trailer Park column at AnotherUniverse's Mania Magazine, Rob Allstetter has put up a pretty detailed synopsis of 'One Small Step', the Voyager episode airing three weeks from now. Take a look:
            After Voyager is nearly consumed by a massive ball of energy, Janeway (played by Kate Mulgrew) launches a probe of the phenomenon and a search for a missing 300-year-old U.S. spacecraft trapped inside the energy field - a vehicle used for the first manned mission to Mars in 2032 - a risky maneuver that might cost the lives of the shuttle crew. As Voyager shadows the powerful anomaly known as the Graviton Ellipse, Seven of Nine (played by Jeri Ryan) reluctantly joins a fascinated Paris (played by Robert Duncan McNeill) and Chakotay (played Robert Beltran) on the shuttle as they look for the legendary Ares Four, the command module from the first manned mission to Mars. However, once found, the attempt to retrieve the craft and the body of the noble pilot proves treacherous.
            Cast member Robert Picardo, who plays The Doctor, directed the episode from a teleplay by Mike Wollaeger, Jessica Scott, Bryan Fuller and Michael Taylor.

        • Sci-Fi Entertainment Magazine

            (Added October 16, 1999) "For Picardo's episode,'One Small Step,' 'we built a Mars command module, and tried to make it as detailed and accurate as possible based on NASA's projections of what manned Mars missions might involve, says Braga. The year this manned mission to Mars takes place? 2057. The episode aims 'for a nostalgia that hasn't happened yet....It's a Chakotay story, with heavy support from Tuvok, that's all about his roots and what drove him as a young man."

        • Star Trek Continuum
          • (Added October 8, 1999) "Last week NASA reported that the Mars Climate Observer was lost in what appeared to be a navigational malfunction. Strangely this reflects the fictional world in an upcoming Star Trek: Voyager episode. In "One Small Step" directed by Robert Picardo (The Doctor) the Starship Voyager encounters events that parallel the recent news stories about the Orbiter."
          • The forthcoming episode tells the story of one of the first manned missions to Mars and how the U.S.S. Voyager encounters evidence of this lost mission.
          • The episode "One Small Step" will air this November. It was written by Mike Wollaegar, Jessica Scott, Bryan Fuller and Michael Taylor.

        • Jeri Ryan (Seven) said at a recent convention: "There's [an episode] we're shooting now that's an homage to the space program and the Mars mission, a really lovely story, and it's directed by Bob Picardo [The Doctor]."

        • Pathfinder (Tenth Episode)

          December 1, 1999

        • From Eon Online.
          • (October 24, 1999) BRAGA: It is true about Troi and Barclay [appearing]. It’s a very good episode, a very off-concept episode. It takes place almost entirely from the point of view of Earth and something called the Pathfinder Project. That is a Starfleet division that was set up to find Voyager. Not necessarily to bring them home, but to locate and possibly communicate with Voyager. Getting home at this point would be too much of a challenge. Barclay works on Pathfinder, in the holographic simulation department… naturally [laughs]. He becomes a little obsessed with Voyager, and is back to his old tricks. Troi comes in to lend a hand.

            I will say, and I don’t want to give too much away, but there is a major achievement that occurs in that episode in terms of Voyager’s communication with the Alpha Quadrant that undoubtedly changes the series a little bit. Whether that will result in them getting home sooner rather than later, I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know. I’m kind of playing it by ear. You have to see how these episodes turn out. However, having said that, it’s likely we will not be able to ignore the events that happen in that episode. They’re just too significant. We’ll see what happens.

            We just thought it would be a really cool idea. But we never thought, “This is how we’ll get them home.” That was never the impetus.

            We want to keep it consistent and the continuity going. Fortunately, the ideas we come up with are ideas that stand alone. But actually, with this Barclay/Earth episode, an interesting issue arose. DEEP SPACE NINE had established that Starfleet Academy had been destroyed. I had forgotten about that. The question came up, are we going to address this? Is Starfleet in a state of being rebuilt?

            What we decided was that was going to be confusing [for those who hadn’t seen that DS9 episode]. We decided that some time had passed, and maybe they didn’t destroy all of Starfleet. We decided to ignore it. Now there will be some people that will get very upset and will ask why could we not show a partially destroyed building in our exterior shots?

            "When we spoke, Rob had worked on two teleplays for Season Six, 'Riddles' and 'Tsunkatse'; the former came from a story by STAR TREK science advisor Andre Bormanis. "I just took a pass at the story and got the teleplay," says Rob. "You might know that Roxann Dawson directed it; I thought she did an incredible job.

            "'Tsunkatse' was a story by Gannon Kenney. Brannon had plenty of notes on how the sport could be depicted and produced, so again it was a big team effort and all of the staff contributed.'"

            "Second-in-command Chakotay was heavily featured in 'Tsunkatse,' in a role Rob feels worked well. "He was kind of filling in for Janeway for much of the episode, so it was an opportunity to see him in a real command position. He was great; he really pulled it off."

All the Drones on the Cube died of some 'Borg pathogen' thing, and Janeway has the doc recreated it incase she needs to gas the drone wannabe's. To make a long story short, Seven interacts with them, shows them that a message from the collective says that the Borg believe the children are 'defective' and does not want them.

To their surprise, they find the Cube to be operated by the five drone survivors of a Borg "plague": children. With the Cube's systems down, the children hold the three hostages in return for Voyager's deflector dish, with which they might be able to send a signal to the Collective. To stall for time, Janeway dispatches Seven of Nine to confer with the drones, while on Voyager, Janeway and the Doctor discover that the devastation on the Cube was a result of a pathogen weapon that annihilated most of the Cube's drone population. As Janeway and the Doctor prepare to redeploy this weapon against the children, Seven of Nine begins to emphasize with the plight of the drone children when she discovers that the Collective will not re-assimilate the children as a result of their imperfections. Discovering this information creates a significant rift between the remaining Borg children, and as a result one of them dies while the others come with Seven of Nine to Voyager until their homeworlds can be located by the crew. Amongst the children are a set of twins.

However, one of the kids clues Seven in that Icheb's parents lied when they relayed the story of his assimilation.

Janeway finds these people, and becomes determined, like the good shepherd, to take them under her wing and help them find their role in life. She takes them on an away mission, only to meet a deadly and mysterious alien entity that begins stalking them--the metaphor being that the shepherd encounters the wolf, and Janeway as a result encounters her own limitations as a captain."

        • From Web Trek.
          • (February 26, 2000) Janeway discovers that there are three 'outcasts' on her ship that have never been on an away mission, and who have fallen through the cracks as far as receiving her 'personal attention'. To fix this, she forces the 3 of them to accompany her on an away mission with the Delta Flyer to investigate a newly forming star cluster. But they are attacked by some unseen force/alien, who beams one of the crew members off the Flyer, and actually enters his body. When the crewman goes right through a force field and claims he is not in control of his body, Janeway shoots him. When he is hit with the phaser blast, it forces the creature out, where another panicing crewman kills it. The alien should look like a sort of 'walking stick' looking insect thing.

            about the Slanted Fedora Trek convention which took place this weekend in New York.
            I was at a Slanted Fedora Con in Manhattan on Sunday. I asked [script coordinator] Lolita Fatjo if there was any truth to the rumor that Jennifer Lein was reprising her role as Kes this season on VOY and she said YES, the episode is called 'Fury' and they started filming on Monday.
          • Thanks go out to Bernie for sending this in! Especially interesting is the news that the Kes episode is apparently not 'Good Shepherd', as was previously reported. Lisa Cantwell also added to this that, according to Lolita Fatjo, "we will see Kes as we've never seen her before", though it will just be a one-shot deal. Thanks again to both Bernie and Lisa for this!

        • From Star Trek News.
          • (February 13, 2000) The episode deals with Kes' return from the subspace realm she descended into in "The Gift". Now aged, Kes returns in her shuttle, asking for help from Janeway. Allowing her to return to Voyager, Kes pilots the shuttle into the ship, destroying half of Deck Ten. Aboard Voyager, Kes stalks her way to Engineering, killing crewmembers ruthlessly and tearing apart the ship as she had previously done unintentionally in "The Gift". Once at the warp core, she kills Torres (who tries to intervene) and attaches herself to it, both reducing her age and using it to travel back in time. Having done so, she emerges on Voyager during its second season and replaces the Kes of that time-period to carry out a plan of revenge against the Voyager crew. Having sufferred in the subspace realm after she initially left the ship due to the fact that she was too young to enter it, she becomes convinced that her sufferring was as a result of Janeway and the crew's encouragement of her exploration of her psychokinetic abilities. As a result, she plans to deliver the crew into the hands of the Vidiians as an act of revenge. Her presence has a side effect on Tuvok, who can speak to Naomi Wildman and see the Borg children in the Cargo Bay-- neither of whom exist yet.
          • As the Vidiian assault begins, Janeway discovers what is going on and works with the Kes of the past to stop the future Kes, who she has to kill. Back in the future, when Kes comes back to attack Voyager, Janeway is aware of the plan thanks to the temporal mechanics of the story, and she confronts the vindictive Kes with a message that the young Kes recorded to herself. Moved to tears by the words of her younger self, Kes once again leaves the vessel.

          • (January 14, 2000) Good Shepherd--Kes Episode

            "Jennifer Lien will be reprising her character Kes on an upcoming episode this season. Robert Picardo recently told a convention that the producers had signed an agreement with Lien for her guest return to the series. Ethan Phillips told EON Magazine that 'I just heard that Jennifer Lien’s going to be in the next episode. I guess on STAR TREK you can do anything you want, but I can’t believe she’s coming back,' Phillips says excitedly. 'She’s coming back to do a guest star, which is terrific, but it’s the last thing I ever expected. So hopefully I’ll get a nice squeeze out of this. I never get enough action on the show.'"

            "There is a report that this episode is actually 'Good Shepherd', which would be surprising given the apparent focus on minor crew members in that episode. If that were to be the case, its quite possible Kes' return may be in the form of a flashback considering one of the crewmembers in that episode is a hypochondriac and supposedly has visited sickbay every week while he's been on Voyager. Hopefully, however that will not be the case."

        • From Web Trek.
          • (February 13, 2000) Jennifer Lien reprises her role as Kes for this special episode! The following description, courtesy of The Universe, contains heavy Spoilers!
            An old Kes shows up out of nowhere, requesting help from Janeway and seeking permission to come aboard. Kes proceeds to RAM Voyager with her shuttle, taking half of deck 10 with her. She then proceeds to walk through deck 11, flexing conduits and blowing out bulkheads left and right in a fit of rage. When a couple of security guys try to stop her, they are killed. She makes her way to engineering where she starts sapping power from the warp core. Torres tries to intervene, and is killed as well. Kes, hugging the warp core, suddenly becomes young again, then disappears.
            Next we see Kes reappear, only now it is three years earlier (she has traveled back in time). Old Kes finds past Kes in the airponics bay, sedates her, and takes her place amongst the crew. Kes is angry with Janeway, and blames her for filling her head with a bunch of space exploration stuff, and convincing her to explore her telepathic side. It turns out that Kes was not ready to become a 'being of light' - and blames Janeway for forcing her into it. She begins a devious plan to have Voyager captured by the Vidians as revenge.
            Due to Kes' strong telepathic abilities, Tuvok begins to have bizarre visions. He sees and speaks to Naomi Wildman in the turbolift, and sees Seven of Nine and the Borg twins in the cargo bay. This obviously disturbs him, as none of these people yet exist - none of that has happened - so he does not know what or who he is seeing. He even makes a reference to using the Delta Flyer for an away mission, and it has not been built yet. Tuvok becomes confused and asks to be relieved of duty.
            When the Vidians attack, Janeway figures out whats going on, and confronts 'future' Kes as she is trying to get a semi-conscious 'past' Kes off Voyager to take her back home. Janeway ends up having to kill 'future' Kes. We then jump back to the present, and back to where the show originally started. Kes again pops up, but this time Janeway is ready. She raises shields to prevent the crash, and shuts down the warp core so that she cannot travel back in time. 'Old' Kes then sees a holo-message that she recorded in the past (as young Kes - after the vidian incident) to try to dissuade her future self from doing this. Moved to tears by the words of her younger self, Kes once again leaves the vessel.

          • (April 4, 2000) (From Star Trek Universe) This is the much talked about ep with Troi and Barclay. In one of their now monthly transmissions, Barclay sends info to the Doc that Doctor Zimmerman his creator has a terminal cellular disease, and that he will die in a couple of months. The doc convinces Janeway to let him send himself back to earth over the wire to treat his creator. His experience in the Delta Quadrant and with Borg technology gives him an edge over Earth doctors. When the doc arrives, he finds that Zimmerman wants nothing to do with him. The Mk I holodocs have been found incompetent and relegated to scrubbing plasma conduits. They are already up to the Mk 4 EMH. The two docs bump heads and fight a lot. In the end, the doc cures him and they reach an understanding. Troi, and Barclay have fairly small roles.

            Once again, Marina Sirtis (Commander Deanna Troi) and Dwight Schultz (Lieutenant Reg Barclay) will reprise their roles from Star Trek: The Next Generation in a new Star Trek: Voyager episode entitled "Life Line." The two were previously seen together in the season six ST: VOY episode "Pathfinder." The story of "Life Line" continues where "Pathfinder" left off and features new developments in the life of Dr. Lewis Zimmerman, the creator of the Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH).

            Sirtis also portrayed Deanna Troi in the Star Trek feature films, "Star Trek Generations", "Star Trek: First Contact" and most recently in "Star Trek: Insurrection". Her feature film credits include "The Wicked Lady" with Faye Dunaway, "Death Wish III" opposite Charles Bronson, "Blind Date" and "The Thief of Baghdad."

            Schultz's feature film credits include "Star Trek: First Contact" as Lieutenant Barclay, as well as "Fat Man and Little Boy" with Paul Newman, "The Long Walk Home" and "The Temp" with Tim Hutton and Lara Flynn Boyle. Schultz's television credits include "The A-Team."

            "Life Line" began filming this week and is tentatively scheduled to air in May. Star Trek: Voyager airs Wednesdays at 9:00 PM on UPN. (Title and air date subject to change.)

          • (February 15, 2000) Life Lines (I, Zimmerman) When Earth's "Pathfinder Project" transmits its first block of data to Voyager, the Doctor receives disturbing news -- Louis Zimmerman, the creator of the Doctor's program, is dying. Hoping to save this "father" he's never met, the Doctor's program is transmitted back to the Alpha Quadrant.
          • (January 29, 2000) I, Zimmerman
            ~ When Earth's "Pathfinder Project" transmits its first block of data to Voyager, the Doctor receives disturbing news -- Louis Zimmerman, the creator of the Doctor's program, is dying. Hoping to save this "father" he's never met, the Doctor's program is transmitted back to the Alpha Quadrant.
            ~ TrekWeb.Com reports that Dwight Schultz and Marina Sirtis will once again guest star as Reginald Barclay and Deanna Troi, making this episode a sequel to "Pathfinder."
            Says Robert Picardo (The Doctor): "I just heard from Brannon Braga that they're planning to do a story that I pitched to them with John Bruno, which is basically I Never Sang For My Father for the Doctor and his programmer. He told me they're going to do it this year. I play my programmer, and it's a father and son story, and I'm his most famous offspring."
          • Of course, interacting with his nominal "father" isn't as easy as it sounds, since the Doctor's creator, Dr. Zimmerman, is on the other side of the galaxy in the Alpha Quadrant. "He's back on Jupiter Station, but we've established this intermittent communication possibility in the story this season with Barclay ["Pathfinder"], the micro-wormhole technology," he explains. "It involves sending the Doctor's program back to the Alpha Quadrant. Zimmerman is ill and because the Doctor has been enhanced with certain 29th Century technology, he's convinced that his best shot at being saved is his 'son' returning home to treat him."

            Robert Picardo already played Dr. Zimmerman on Deep Space Nine, in the episode "Doctor Bashir, I Presume."

          • Our final question due to time constraints was: What can you tell us about the upcoming Season Six episode entitled "Muse" ?

            "Oh, well actually we finished shooting that about three weeks ago, it's almost done, actually I have to go back and do one more re-shoot, and I thought that was thoroughly enjoyable. It was also directed by Micheal Vejar, who directed "Barge of the Dead", and it's a wonderful story about B' Elanna who crash lands on a planet and ends up becoming a poet's "Muse" for his writing and she ends up becoming inspired herself by his story. It's really wonderful.

          • (April 4, 2000) (From Star Trek Universe) Torres and Harry crash in the Delta Flyer on an alien planet. The planet is developmentally comparable to earth in the Shakespeare period. A 'poet' finds Torres in the downed flyer (Harry punched out in an escape pod) and begins writing plays based on Voyager and the crew. Torres ends up helping him perform his last 'play', which keeps a war from breaking out on the planet because of the play. The B plot has a really rather funny bit with Tuvok snoring and sleeping in the Captains chair.

        • From TrekToday.
          • (April 4, 2000) (From Star Trek Universe) This story is mostly told as a campfire type story by Neelix to the Borg children. The power on ship goes down, and the regenerating children wake up. Neelix tells them what is happening in the form of story. Basically, while flying through a Nebula, Voyager picks up an entity which makes its way through the ships systems wreaking havoc and trying to force the crew to take it back to the nebula. The crew just thinks the ship is fraught with malfunctions due to flying through the nebula and doesn't figure out there is intelligence behind it for quite some time. In the end, they give the creature some place to live and everyone is happy.

          • After all the questions that were sent in to startrekuk, the most common question was: What can you tell us about the Season Six cliffhanger episode "Unimatrix Zero" ?

            "We just finished shooting "Unimatrix Zero" and we only did the first half, and I don't know about the second half of the cliffhanger, but I can just tell you one thing that at the end they turn me into a full Borg".

        • From TV Guide.
          • (April 13, 2000) In the chat with Robert Picardo:

            I don't have an extradinarily large part in the season finale, as the episode "Life Line" features me in two different characters....our final episode features other actors. So "Life Line" is basically my season swan song.

          • (April 1, 2000) The people who are assimilated by the Borg are Janeway, Torres, and Tuvok. Paris' promotion [back to lieutenant] happens on the bridge and Harry's reaction is to wonder when his turn is coming.

          • (March 25, 2000) Susanna Thompson returns as the Borg Queen!
            The Delta Flyer is destroyed and half the senior staff (four or more of our nine main characters) gets assimilated.--(thanks to 'Jonas')
          • (March 23, 2000) Unimatrix Zero (Season Finale)

        • From Star Trek: The Magazine.
          • (February 28, 2000)"For the future, Brannon hints at some interesting plans. "There are a couple of surprises that I don't want to give away, but you may be seeing another Borg epic--a Borg two hour movie, or possibly a Borg cliffhanger, that we're thinking of as the third part of our Borg trilogy: 'Scorpion,' 'Dark Frontier,' and now a story in which there is a massive resistance movement within the Borg that could unravel them once and for all, that Seven gets involved with. It may also include, finally, a true romance for Seven of Nine against the backdrop of the resistance. It may possibly see the return of a new Borg Queen. It's very conceptual at this point, but it's safe to say that there's one more Borg epic to come."

        • From Star Trek News.
          • (January 14, 2000) Season Finale [later]
          • "Discussions and preparations for this year's season finale have already begun. This year, the writing staff is planning on a big Borg episode to cap the sixth season off."
