Season Six
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.

"Equinox II"
Bloopers:
Although both Chakotay and Janeway are struck by the aliens, neither of them instantly die as previously established in Equinox I. When Voyager's EMH appears back on Voyager, his ethical subroutines are mysteriously reactivated. During the chase between Voyager and the Equinox at warp, there is a visual effects shot of Voyager with it's nacelles down.
Interesting Facts:
Several of the Equinox crew join Voyager at the end, demoted to crewmen. Janeway relieves Chakotay of duty.
"Survival Instinct"
Bloopers:
None.
Interesting Facts:
Seven's former fellow Borg drones are seen, and one of them, Three of Nine, is a Bajoran and a former Starfleet officer. Vaughn Armstrong also appeared as Gul Dunar in DS9's Past Prologue, as the Romulan scientist Telek R'Mor in Voyager's Eye of the Needle and as the Klingon Captain Korris in TNG's Heart of Glory.
"Barge of the Dead"
Bloopers:
None.
Interesting Facts:
Ron Moore's last Voyager episode that he wrote, before he left due to differences with Voyager producer Brannon Braga. Klingon hell is seen for the first time. It is interesting how Klingon mythology somewhat resembles Greek mythology. We see B'Elanna's mother, Miral, for the first time. We also learn that Klingons not only pay for sins of the father, but sins of the daughter.
"Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy"
Bloopers:
The exact shot of the Doc transforming into the ECH with the four pips appearing is shown twice.
Interesting Facts:
The first episode of Voyager directed by an Oscar winner! John Bruno won an Oscar for his work on James Cameron's "The Abyss". The Doctor daydreams. Janeway considers the Doctors idea of an ECH. The Doctor receives a medal of valour for saving the ship. I wonder how many Seven has gotten??
"Alice"
Bloopers:
None
Interesting Facts:
An episode that sounds a little like Stephen King's "Christine". Originally entitled, "Genie".
"Riddles"
Bloopers:
None.
Interesting Facts:
First Voyager episode directed by Roxann Dawson (B'Elanna Torres). Tuvok experiences emotions, and realizes how poorly he has treated Neelix in the past. Originally entitled, "Paradigm".
"Dragon's Teeth"
Bloopers:
There is no mention of Voyager rescuing Tuvok from the surface at the end of the episode.
Interesting Facts:
This episode was originally to be a two hour film, but was cut to be a one hour, one parter. Originally entitled "5,000 Years". We learn that the Borg was not as powerful 900 years ago. Jeff Allin (Gedren) appeared in the TNG episode "Imaginary Friend" as Ensign Daniel Sutter, and in the video game "Star Trek: Borg" as Lt. Furlong. Rob Knepper appeared as Wyatt Miller, Deanna Troi's betrothed, in the early TNG episode "Haven".
"One Small Step"
Bloopers:
None
Interesting Facts:
Also entitled "The Gates of Heaven". Directed by Robert Picardo (The Doctor) Phil Morris, who plays John Kelly, has a long Star Trek history. He has appeared in TOS, Star Trek III, and two episodes of Star Trek DS9. The producers attempted to get their design of the Ares IV as accurate as possible to the proposed Mars landers provided by NASA. Around the time this episode aired, NASA lost contact with two of it's probes sent to Mars.
"The Voyager Conspiracy"
Bloopers:
Janeway and Seven beam out of the Delta Flyer at the end...wouldn't it have been easier to simply plot a course home in the Flyer???
Interesting Facts:
Holy jumpings! The first mention of Kes since she left three years ago!! Even Seska got a mention in this one. We learn that a Cardassian vessel was pulled to the Delta Quadrant, then returned to the Alpha Quadrant. We also learn that a piece of the Caretaker's Array was retrieved before it was destroyed, and eventually found it's way to make the Catapult. Voyager uses the catapult to get three years closer to home. The producers really didn't know what to do with this one...apparently, the script was revised constantly, and in some cases, Jeri Ryan would receive the script for the scene to be shot on the same day. The ending was changed as well. Originally, the ending had Seven of Nine destroying the Catapult. However, they changed it so that Voyager used the Catapult to get three years closer to home.
"Pathfinder"
Bloopers:
Not to be nitpicky, but since Starfleet last communicated with Voyager, they travelled an extra ten years from the Slipstream, 15 years thanks to the Borg transwarp conduits and three years thanks to the catapult used in the previous episode. So, how did they know where Voyager was? Initially, the photo of Tom in Admiral Paris' office, shows the image flipped, with the combadge on the wrong side. They fixed this in the closeup of the picture.
Interesting Facts:
Contact is made with Voyager. Admiral Owen Paris appears, played by a different actor than in "Persistance of Vision" when Paris was last seen. The photo of Tom is actually a still from TNG's "The First Duty", and is a picture of Robert McNeill as Cadet Nicholas Locarno. Barclay and Troi are shown in this TNG meets VOY episode. Other Star Trek items/characters that get mention in this episode: The Enterprise E, Geordie LaForge, Captain Picard, Spot, Data, Deep Space Nine.
