During the encounter with the temporal micro wormhole where they sent messages through the wormhole to be relayed to the families in 2371 it also needs to be stated that they also managed to pull off what could be said to be the first attempt at a temporal transporter or transporting somebody through time when they brought the Romulan onto Voyager from 20 years in the past.

[@AlGhoul]

The Ferengi weren't chased by the Enterprise, nor trying to escape. The Ferengi, along with a Data and Geordi's shuttle, went through the wormhole to conduct a survey on the wormhole's stability, and didn't leave when Geordi warned them that the wormhole was unstable. So the Ferengi stayed when the shuttle went through, and when the mouth finally opened, it shifted in space, stranding the Ferengi in the Delta quadrant.

[@CivilizationEx]

Whoops, you're right about that. I'll add a correction in the comments, thanks for pointing that out.

[@ponchowizard5182]

I still think Voyager had the best premise out of all the Trek serials regardless of how well the story played out to it. They basically had the idea of The Odyssey: á la Star Trek. I still enjoy the series. It has It's good and bad parts like most shows do. But, at least they didn't wind up having to save Chekov from some kind of Hawkin's Nutshell. And even the worst parts are still better then most modern shows/writing.

[@powerist209]

But still Battlestar Galactica reboot was often seen as Voyager being allowed to be what it wants to be, at least based on tvtropes.

I watched Voyager during the original run, and not since. This video has reminded me of all the great sci-fi stories Voyager has, thanks!

[@imkluu]

I have watched it a couple times thru since, the first two seasons are hit or miss episode wise but third on it gets pretty good, with a few terrible eps but over all lre-watchable.

[@quazar912]

some of us still waitnig for a 4K release with DTS HD sound...

[@Impulset0]

Voyager had its problems like every trek series does but it was still fantastic. Worth a re watch. The Year of Hell episodes are my personal favourites.

[@larissabrewington9065]

They did despair! In the beginning EVERYONE blamed Janeway and they didn't get along...

[@RandomYT05_01]

The Undine, also know as the species that kicked the Borg's ass.

[@CharlesUrban]

Their motto is "The weak shall perish," so I would _hope_ that they'd be good at fighting pretty much anyone.

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

And then they backed down, after being outed as having the literal exact same plan as the founders

[@MelkorTolkien]

The interesting thing about Voyager is that no alien species stayed longer than a season or two (with a few exceptions) due to them having to constantly travel back to the Alpha quadrant. By the time they run into the Heirarchy, the Kazon were no longer mentioned etc... That map also only represents a small portion of the Delta quadrant.

I never got to see this Trek series when it originally aired but your synopsis has convinced me to watch it on Netflix. Tyvm

[@subscorpion9560]

in my opinion, the delta has some of the most interesting set of races. among them the ocampa, kazon, talaxian, vidiians, Krenim, Hirogen, Malon, Species 8472 and The Borg. I've seen the alpha and beta known races and I just love seeing more races in an quadrant unexplored by the federation until Voyager's incident

[@CivilizationEx]

Correction: At 8:28 the image is of the alien who ran the Tsunkatse show for the Norcadians, but he was not Norcadian himself. Mezoti, the young borg girl who joined the Voyager in later seasons was a Norcadian. Correction 2: At 14:48, the Ferengi were not chased through the wormhole, they went in voluntarily and failed to leave before the wormhole closed. Correction 3: At 15:12 the Ferengi did not use transporter technology, they used replicator technology.

[@dragonweyr44]

I don;t get a like for pointing this out to you? JK I don't really care

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

Rip those guys who went with the kazon

[@lordofoshu8017]

if you follow the STO timelie, the voth and turei are allied against the now reborn vaadwaur and fight them. The Kobali also fight them due to their way of life and the vaadwaur having many dead and living in sleep chambers on their home world all being turned into Kobalians. Meanwhile in the shadows the ones that influenced and gave the Vaadwaur technology to fight on par with all of them were the Iconians via proxy races.

[@triptrip8353]

great vid as always i still cant believe they didn't do more episodes with Suspiria

[@CharlesUrban]

The Vidiians confuse me. With their level of technology, they could just vat-grow replacement organs instead of attacking other people while yelling "WE'RE COMING FOR YOUR SPLEEEEEN."

[@SolitaryLark]

Pretty sure the episode explains why they don’t do that.

[@Kakuretaka]

Looking at this Borg space is split all over. That seems highly in-efficient. When I play a game ( RTS or survival ) I work out from a starting location taking more and more of the area and its resources. The Borg just seem to set up anywhere.

[@CharlesUrban]

I think it's their transwarp network.

[@Kakuretaka]

@@CharlesUrban But when we see that it looks like how I described tendrils moving out from one point. The only logic I found is the "gaps" in the territory are areas the Borg found no value in which does make sense as why claim a area you have to defend for no benefit. But then the question is if I am defending they have ships if they have ships they have material to make the ships. Even raw material is worth something

[@ryandommerman9295]

Makes you wonder how The Voyager actually made it back home..... Silly me.......7 seasons of plot Armour!

[@CharlesUrban]

If they stretched the episode "Year of Hell" over seven seasons, that would have been pretty neat. That was the episode where they took off the plot armor and saw what happened.

[@craftchild_9151]

Voyager is still my favorite. Even thought i grew up with next gen and Discovery is ok. Still havent seen DS9 completely because it just always lacked charm. 😅 Btw you missed the whole wierd time travel things and episodes with q. 😅🥰🤗 cool vid though!

14:48 - The Ferengi weren't trying to escape the Enterprise-D. They were simply exploring the wormhole, and refused to heed La Forge and Data's warning about the wormhole's instability.

At 8:30 you show Penk, the ringmaster of Tsunkatsee as Norcadian which he is not Mazati, the young girl recued from a Borg cube un the 6th season episode Collective, is identified as Norcadian Icheb is Brunali and the twins Rebi and Azan are Wyzanti by the way

[@samsschool3639]

[@DoctorRobertNeville]

I read that the transceiver array was built by an older species, and that the Hirogen simply claimed it as theirs.

[@marcogarza3720]

[@electricblue1423]

Voyager had an interesting premise, but was too light in tone. The example of the Osiris (and for that matter Star Trek Beyond) showed what life would really be like for the Alphans in the Delta Quadrant. If made today, it should detail how many of the crew are killed, and the survivors are forced to beg, borrow or steal to upgrade the ship. By the final season, many of the original characters would be dead, while the ship has become a deadly hybrid of technologies run by a small tight-knit, sometimes ruthless, group who discarded Starfleet protocol long ago.

[@MightyJosh1985]

The Voth had planets as well, not just ships. The Voyager crew was to be sent to a penal world for punishment.

[@davidhonez8859]

Didn't Janeway violate the prime directive by destroying the array?

[@CharlesUrban]

Janeway did pretty much whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted. Given Voyager's uniquely perilous situation, I don't blame her...but I don't think that the name "Insaneway" misses the mark.

[@DoctorRobertNeville]

I don't think the Hirogen built the array. I think they were using ancient tech they found in space. I like to think it was built by the Iconians before they figured out how to make arches to every where.

[@FalkorStranix]

The Ferengi where not trying to escape the Enterprise, they were negotiating for some wormhole which got them trapped in the Delta Quadrant when the Wormhole collapsed and they didn't use transporter technology to gain favor and power over the lesser technologically advanced civilization, they used a replicator. I enjoy your videos but odd you got this so wrong.

[@FreakyBeNormal]

How is Malon space before herogin space? They encountered them a season after the herogin

[@CivilizationEx]

Malon space is divided into three sections, the first is where I put the title, but after that there are two other areas of the same color that are also Malon space.

Also, I don't believe we're ever informed of whether the messages transmitted to the temporally-shifted Romulan were actually passed on, or not. There are many ways in which Voyager's crew's desired outcome may have occurred, without having _any_ effect on the events we see. We're simply not shown the "letters from the past" scenes/episode.
