Season Five
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.

to get two years closer to home.
Captain Janeway really begins to show
the guilt she feels for getting the crew stranded in the Delta Quadrant.

is seen for the first time.
The Flotter and Trevis program seems to
be a fairly popular childrens program (perhaps the equivalent of Barney??)
"Timeless"
Bloopers:
If you look very carefully, you can see
the plastic covering put over the floors of the sets so that the wax (snow)
wouldn't destroy the carpet, etc..., particularly on the Bridge Sets.
Interesting Facts:
We see some amazing effects of Voyager
crashing on a planet. Neat.
Levar Burton is the third TNG character

He is not in transporter suspension, so where did he go?
Interesting Facts:
Janeway has another botched romance.
"Latent Image"
Bloopers:
It is amusing how the CGI of both Harry
Kim and the Captain being recreated by the holoimagers go right from a
muscle layer to clothing...oh yes, I forget that this is a PG show, not
XXX.
Interesting Facts:
Ensign Jetal had never been seen in any
other episodes before.
"Bride of Chaotica!"
Bloopers:
None.
Interesting Facts:
The bridge had very little to do with
this episode...why? Voyager's bridge set had been recently destroyed
by fire, so instead of waiting for the set to be completely rebuilt, they
had a Holodeck centered episode.
The Chaotica program is seen for the last
time.
One of the only Star Trek episodes to
have an exclamation mark in the title.

played by a different actress.
"Dark Frontier"
Bloopers:
The shots on board the Borg Sphere during
the training simulation and during the real event are almost the same.
Look for one scene while they are really on board the Borg Sphere where
you cannot see the arm-band on Janeway.
When Seven is about to enter the Borg
Queen's chamber, you can see the shadow of the camera on her back.
Don't let me get started on the inconsistencies
in the Raven aspect of the story: Firstly, the Hansen's should not
have known about the Borg before their departure...the Borg were not encountered
until the TNG second season episode, "Q Who". As well, it was previously
established in other episodes that Seven was celebrating her birthday when
she was assimilated, but this is not seen in this episode. As well,
at one point the Raven is travelling at warp, yet the window in Naomi's
quarters show a still starfield.
Interesting Facts:
Alice Krige was unable to return to do
the Borg Queen due to scheduling difficulties. Thus, the produces
hired Susanna Thompson, who previously played as one of Dax's hosts former
wives.
The actors who play the Hansen family
are different than those seen in "Raven" and "Scorpion II".
A new style of Borg vessel is seen:
A borg rectangle and the Borg Diamond. They sure do like those shapes!

Klingon self.
"Someone to Watch Over Me"
Bloopers:

None.

first humans to travel deep space.

Bloopers:
Captain Braxton is played by a different
actor this time.

A confusing time travel episode, where
we get to see Voyager at Utopia Planitia yards.
Captain Braxton returns, and we see that
the future does a little time patrolling to correct errors in the timeline.
The Kazon are seen again.
"Warhead"
Bloopers:
None
Interesting Facts:
MacKenzie Westmore, who played
Ensign Jenkins, was up for the role as Ezri Dax in DS9. She is the
daughter of Star Trek alien make-up designer, Michael Westmore. (wonder
who helped her get this gig...guess it helps to be able to pull a few strings).
"Equinox I"
Bloopers:
None.
Interesting Facts:
The design of the Equinox was one of the
proposed designs for the Defiant.
The Equinox was pulled to Delta Quadrant
by the Caretaker as well, but as taken a different route than Voyager.
