Season Two

Welcome to Astrometrics Databank One-Alpha, your source for Voyager tidbits and bloopers. This ever growing guide will give you interesting facts that you may have never noticed before...like, did you notice a subtle change between season one and season two? Probably not. The tricorders and phasers were all updated, replacing the old design. (The most obvious of this is the Doc's tricorder...no big end-piece) This is just one of the many things that your eye may never see while watching, until now.

Episode Sixteen: "The 37's"

 Bloopers:
 

  • The big rocks that Chakotay and Tuvok hide behind are fake, since they move sometimes when touched by one of the actors.


    •  Interesting Facts:
     

  • This episode marked the first time Voyager landed on a planet.
  • This is one of the season one holdover episodes to be aired in season two instead.
  • Again, the same outdoor location used in "State of Flux"


    • Episode Seventeen: "Initiations"

    Bloopers:
     

  • First time the "new" Tricorders and Phasers are seen.


    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • The young Kazon is played by Aron Eisenberg, who plays 'Nog' on DS9
  • The outdoor sequences were filmed in an area familiar to all Star Trek fans...the Vasquez Rocks. This area was used to film TNG's "Who Watches the Watchers?" and the Original Series episodes "Arena", "Friday's Child", "Shore Leave" and "Alternative Factor."
  • This episode marks the beginning of the "Shuttle saga", whereby the first and definately not the last Voyager shuttle is destroyed.


    • Episode Eighteen: "Projections"

    Bloopers:
     

  • When the Doc is initalized at the beginning of the episode, the computer says he was activated when red alert was called...but, the crew have abandoned the ship a while ago...so who called Red Alert, or was this just a discrepancy? (sent in by: Cwin)


    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • Reginald Barkley (Dwight Shultz) is back, playing a guest spot on the show.
  • The name "Zimmerman" is first used, crediting the creator of the EMH (actually, the name 'Zimmerman' is referring to Star Trek set desinger, Herman Zimmerman)

    • Episode Nineteen: "Elogium"

    Bloopers:
     

  • When Kes goes to answer the door to Neelix, the heel of her shoe gets caught on her dress, and she ends up hopping to answer the door.


    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • One of the first Voyager episodes that CGI (Computers) would be used to create a majority of the special effects. This technique would be later used for almost all of Voyager's special effects.
  • Another season one holdover episode.
  • It is discovered that Ocampan's carry a child to term on their backs, and can only have one child. (In the episode "Before and After", audiences will get a chance to see the delivery of an Ocampan baby)


    • Episode Twenty: "Non Sequitur"

    Bloopers:
     

  • In one effects shot the Runabout has one of those large engines on top (when at warp), and then it doesn't. (Notice in DS9 and there are two different Runabouts...one with an impulse engine on top, and the other without)
  • The shot of the Runabout just narrowly escaping the space dock is the same shot of the Enterprise-D narrowly escaping the Dyson Sphere in "Relics" (same effects shot, just using a different ship)
  • Janeway says Voyager to Transporter Room, whereas she should have said Bridge to Transporter Room. (sent in by 7 of 8)
  • When the security officer tackles Harry, you can clearly see that it is a stunt double in place of Harry.


    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • The street shots are the same sets as used in DS9's "Past Tense" (the one where the crew goes back in time) This is one of the street sets on Paramount's lot, used in various TV shows and movies.
  • Marks the second Voyager shuttle to be destroyed.
  • The first and only time that Harry's girlfriend Libby is seen...she played the half Klingon, half-Romulan that Worf fell in love with in the TNG episode, "The Birthright pt. II"
  • The shot when Paris and Harry are being chased, and they run between two buildings, and use the Transporter to beam out, well this shot took place between two soundstages on the Paramount lot (the buildings are sound stages)

    Bloopers:
     

  • None


    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • Yet another of the season one holdover episodes.
  • This episode celebrated Kes' second birthday.


    • Episode Twenty-Two: "Parturition"

    Bloopers:
     

  • None


    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • Once again, yet another Voyager shuttle bites the dust in this one.
  • Janeways's "Buns of Steel" (her hair) are replaced this one episode with a shoulder length cut (Kate Mulgrew's REAL hair...no wig). It was only used in this one episode, but would be later seen in Season Four when she changes her hairstyle once again.
  • The "Planet Hell" soundstage is used in this episode to film the exterior scenes on the planet.


    • Episode Twenty-Three: "Persistance of Vision"

    Bloopers:
     

  • When Janeway is struggling with the maid in her room, (after the maid cuts her), you can tell the maid is a stunt woman for some reason since she is always moving her face to the side so it isn't visible when Janeway throws her to the floor.
  • Janeway calls Kes to the Bridge to come up and help, but she never shows up. (It was later reported that the scene was accidently cut)


    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • The final season one holdover episode of season two.
  • The maid in Janeway's holodeck program is played by Carolyn Seymore, who is also known for her roles as the Romulan Commander in TNG's "Contagion" and "Face of the Enemy".
  • The little girl in the program will later play the Doc's daughter in his family holographic program in "Real Life".
  • This is the last time that Janeway's Holodeck program is seen, leaving many unanswered questions, like, what's on the third floor? (My guess it's the mother Beatrice (little girl) always speaks of)


    • Episode Twenty-Four: "Tattoo"

    Bloopers:
     

  • The tree falling on Chakotay was way too fake...


    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • Chakotay's father is seen for the first time.
  • Amazingly enough, this tropical scenery seen in the episode is actually a soundstage...Voyager is always commended because of the fact they can create such realistic sunlight.
  • We learn where that tattoo of Chakotay's came from.
  • And finally, this is the second episode where they mention visitors from outer space visiting Earth...(also referred in "The 37's")


    • Episode Twenty-Five: "Cold Fire"

    Bloopers:
     

  • None


    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • Voyager meets the female Caretaker.
  • Majel Barrett (Gene Roddenberry's widow), who also does the voice for the computer, does the voice of the female Caretaker (they put it through a synthesizer)
  • Kes uses her telepathic abilities to do much darker things, like destroy her entire garden.
  • This is the first of two times that Kes hurts Neelix with her telepathic abilities (Next time happens in "The Gift")

    Bloopers:
     

  • None


    • Interesting Facts:

    Bloopers:
     

  • None


    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • Again, the "city square" set is once again re-dressed for this episode.


    • Episode Twenty-Eight: "Prototype"

    Bloopers:
     

  • This blooper will occur frequently, but when Voyager activates their Communication systems, it's the same "bleep" that is heard on DS9, a station with Cardassian computers...they shouldn't be the same.


    • Interesting Facts:
     
     

  • Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker) wasn't exactly impressed when filming this episode...he said that the robots looked way too corny.


    • Episode Twenty-Nine: "Alliances"

    Bloopers:
     

  • Voyager fires THREE photon torpedoes at the Kazon ship, yet it does nothing to the Kazon ship.
  • Neelix says he is going to take his own shuttle, but they show him taking a Starfleet shuttle.
  • As the Kazon ship fires in the room, it hits the jug and just shatters it...it probably should have incinerated.


    • Interesting Facts:

  • The episode where we learn that the Kazon are the way they are because of a race which imprisoned them for years.


    • Episode Thirty: "Threshold"

    Bloopers:
     

  • As Tom talks (after he rips out his tongue), you can still see his tongue, although it is painted black.

    Bloopers:
     

  • When Tom is escaping in the shuttle, at one point is hands reach out, and land OUTSIDE the window.
  • Again, stunt people are obvious as Jonas and Neelix battle it out...they keep trying to turn their face away from the camera.

    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • This episode revealed Jonas was the spy on board.
  • Neelix debuted his variety show type show "A Briefing with Neelix" in order to increase crew morale.


    • Episode Thirty-Six: "Deadlock"

    Bloopers:
     

  • They say the hull breach is on deck 15, so they go to deck 15. There are only 15 decks on Voyager, yet it shows them going down a ladder from deck 15 to get to the hull breach.
  • At one point B'Elanna is high up on the ladder, and then the next second she is lower, trying to grab Harry.
  • When the Vidiians are taking over the undamaged Voyager, Kes is in Sickbay, but after they take over Sickbay, she is no where to be seen.

    • Episode Thirty-Seven: "Innocence"

  • As Janeway is gardening, Chakotay steps out of the shelter and closes the door, and heads to speak to Janeway. The two then go back to the shelter, but the door is now open. (sent in by Denorios)

    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • The first episode to hint at a possible Janeway - Chakotay romance.

  • At the end as Voyager is leaving the planet, it flies very, very close to a rock face (in fact, it should have hit it)
  • When they are about to land, they show on the viewscreen a landscape totally being destroyed by volcanoes. But then, when they land, the landscape is much, much calmer than what it appeared on the viewscreen.
  • I know, I know, this is getting really picky, but there were NOT 100 crewmembers on the planet.


    • Interesting Facts:
     

  • Voyager's first cliffhanger season finale.
  • Suder makes an appearance once again, and will play a vital role in part two.
  • Filming took place in Lone Pines, California.
  • The second time Voyager has landed on a planetary surface...they used basically the same footage that they used in "The 37's".
  • Finally, the second debut of a baby on Voyager...this time, it is supposedly Seska's and Chakotay's (remember 'Maneuvers'?)


    • End of Season Notes:
     

  • This season was severely critisized by many viewers. Many felt that this season went downhill from Voyager's first season, trying to be too much like TNG.
  • There were no major set changes this season, however, a new set would debut next season...the Science lab, which looks an awfully lot like a re-dress of Sickbay.
  • Again, there were others episodes filmed for season two that would be held over until next season.
  • 'Basics pt.I and pt. II" were filmed back to back to ensure continuity.
  • Many critics and viewers felt that season three would tell the tale as to whether Voyager would flop or not.
