ehalcomb: Star Trek: Voyager || First Impressions and Review

I have always loved Star Trek and really just shows and movies about space in general. Star Trek: Voyager seems really different from all of the other series' of the same title. In Voyager, the crew have a much better reason to explore. The very first episode, titled Caretaker, starts with crew of the Voyager recruiting a young pilot by the name of Tom Paris to help them search for a vessel that has been lost in space. When they reach the point that they were last seen, however, they get transported 70,000 light years away from where they started their mission. Here they find a strange ship that is powering a whole civilization on the surface of a nearby planet. The crew at first seems hopeful that the mysterious ship can bring them back to their side of the galaxy. However, the being who controls the ship is dying and doesn't have enough power to get them back. The being does say that there is another a lot like him that may still have enough power to get them home. This gives the crew of the Voyager a great reason for exploring! I believe that this will set up a whole slew of great scenarios regarding strange species that have not been in any other Star Trek show and different types of planets and parts of space that don't seem explainable. After viewing the first episode of Star Trek: Voyager, I already can't wait to see what else this story has in store!
