Syndication
I was watching Star Trek Voyager from its initial release all the way up until the sixth season or so on television stations that were not UPN stations. I didn'teven get UPN until extremely late in the show's run and only in the very last season did I watch the program on UPN. Anyone who changes my additional sentence about syndication in the VOY article is wrong to do so.

Sort Order
The episode order presented here for season two is, arguably, incorrect. It shows the correct production order, but not the correct air order. Unless anyone has any objections, I will correct it. I will also add a note about the issues regarding the four episodes that were held back from season one. Alex Peckover 00:39, Aug 1, 2004 (CEST)
- Hmm. On the TOS page, we also have the episodes listed by air dates, not by production number... Ottens 13:02, 1 Aug 2004 (CEST)
- I think the four s1 holdovers should be separated, but the two groups (the s1 eps and then the bulk of s2) should individually be in production order. I'll do so. --Captain Mike K. Bartel 15:32, 1 Aug 2004 (CEST)
- I don't think some of the mid-season two episodes are in the correct order either. IIRC, "Dreadnought" and "Death Wish" should be next to each other. Alex Peckover 08:36, Aug 2, 2004 (CEST)
When did Voyager End?
(moved from Reference Desk)
I know I've commmented on this issue too many times, but I think it needs to be sorted once and for all - in what year did Voyager return to Earth?
It is, to my mind, obvious that it ended in 2378 - in "Homestead", Neelix comments that they're celebrating the 315th anniversary of First Contact - then clarified as the anniversary of Tuvok's ancestors arrival on Earth. This places the year of that episode and subsequent ones in 2378. However, throughout this site, the events keep being listed in 2377 - what am I missing?
The reason I ask this again is that I'm on the verge of changing every reference to Voyager's return to 2378, but I don't want to if others keep changing it back or if I'm wrong. Help! -- MiChaos 17:57, 14 Aug 2004 (CEST)
- You're right though.. we've confirmed that those episodes must indeed take place in 2378, however, many have missed the "Homestead" reference and continue to perpetuate the incorrect date. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 04:55, 15 Aug 2004 (CEST)
What about the fact that each season in modern Star Trek history has been during one calendar year. The stardates begin and end in that calander year as well. I don't see why we should change are assumptions simply because of a single mistake in one episode. Anyone else with me?Ryan123450 08:13, 18 Aug 2004 (CEST)
- I disagree. Find me any reference to the idea that each season takes place in one calendar year. I don't think there's anything really supporting that - in fact, starting a new year somewhere mid-season would solve more problems than it creates. This is an assumption as well, of course, but at least we shouldn't call something an "error" just because it doesn't fit our previous assumptions. -- Cid Highwind 10:04, 18 Aug 2004 (CEST)
UPN link
Rebelstrike2005 removed the link I'd put in for UPN. We've got a page for NBC (linked from TOS) — why not a page for UPN? --Josiah Rowe 18:32, 28 Mar 2005 (EST)
a different world
hi, i was searching through the place. but i cannot remember the episode where the crew of VOY are all kinda 'evil' where voyager has all sorts of weapons mounted on her and the crew allied with kazons as well as 7o9 was not made an individual... can anyone tell me which episode it is? thx 70.70.209.80 06:51, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
- You're probably thinking of "Living Witness". It was kind of the Voyager version of a Mirror Universe episode, without it actually being a Mirror Universe episode. Randee15 06:53, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
"Voy-Voy-a-ger....Voy-a-ger"
Once read somewhere that something should go under "interesting points" on the series' main page, but I don't see anything like that. Where should I add... I read somewhere that the Voyager theme is actually a synthesizer saying "Voyager" over and over again. I listened to the theme, and it matches! The same three "syllables" over and over. Kinda' interesting... -AJHalliwell 18:24, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Spooky, it does sound like that... *hides* --AmdrBoltz 18:43, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Its true, it does sound like it, but only if you say it in your head! I thought they usually used real instruments rather than synthesised ones for the theme tunes to the star trek series'. zsingaya 20:38, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Almost cancelled?
Was the series really on the verge of cancellation as some rumours state? Tough Little Ship 19:52, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)
I don't think it was on the verge of being cancelled, but the ratings were low. Excelsior 22:11, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, Voyager (unlike early TNG, ENT, and all of TOS :-( ) was never on the verge of cancelation I'm pretty sure. - AJHalliwell 00:49, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- The ratings were never as good as they were for TNG or DS9 were they? -- Tacking Into the Wind 14:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Interesting
I don't know if anybody noticed this or not, but at the beginning of the series, it is mentioned that it would take about 70 years at maximum warp to get back to Federation territory. The Intrepid-class is said to have a cruising speed of Warp 9.975, which, according to the TNG Warp Factor Chart, would place the actual time as closer to 18 years, and since the distance wouldn't be completely across the galaxy, closer to 15 years or so. For the time to actually be around 70 years, the maximum speed of the Intrepid-class would have to be somewhere between Warp 8 and 9. Although encounters with alien species and other events may slow the ship down somewhat, it is highly unlikely that such events would add over 50 years to the time. Comments? --Redattack34 20:41, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- You've missed one significant detail about TNG era warp travel, however -- no starship has ever been shown to have a sustainable maximum cruising speed -- remember how the Enterprise-D had to shut down after a few hours at warp 9, and as the got up into the higher "warp nine-point-whatever" speeds, they could only maintain velocity for a lesser time before they had to slow down to avoid overheat? -- if Voyager went its maximum 9.975 for a few hours each day, it would still have to keep its speed down to warp 8-9 in order to keep its engines from overloading -- this is probably where the "70 years" figure ended up being derived from. -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 20:58, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)
True. I hadn't thought of that, though by my math, the time would then have been approximately 60 years if they spent most of their time at warp 9, going to 9.975 for short bursts. I suppose, though, that even the relatively low warp 9 would put quite a strain on Voyager's engines, forcing the crew to slow down to warp 8 for part of the distance. --Redattack34 03:16, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- I believe since Voyager wasnt outfitted to go very far in their first mission, they weren't stocked with fuel. So another problem with their top speed would have been that huge consumption of fuel (antimatter) and strain on various engine components (dilythium crystals, etc) --Funkdubious 20:14, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)
Linking text question
Is there anyway to Link the text from the episode article to a table in this article?
Perhaps since there's a standard template, some kind of module could extract from the Episode template...
- Funkdubious 20:09, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)
I've deduced that this function would require a bot. Here's the bot registration: User:EnEpiLink... Initially its a proposal for a bot that can link episode titles from the source episode articles. Makes it even easier since the Episodes have a standard template.

Is it really necessary to have a link to a Google video purchase page? --From Andoria with Love 03:42, 11 Jan 2006 (UTC)
How many lightyears?
Swedish wikipedia says 75.000, english wp says 70.000 and i always thought it was 60.000. Which number is correct? Slipzen 19:33, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
In Caretaker, just after Voyager is swept across the galaxy, Harry Kim tells Janeway: "If these sensors are working, we're over 70,000 lightyears from where we were...we're on the other end of the galaxy." Bear in mind I've only watched Caretaker in English, though I would assume they'd use the same figures in all language versions! - MiChaos 21:28, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
