Voyager’s fifth season continues on the thrilling, bold new direction set in Season 4, producing what is arguably the second best season of the series. While most of the episodes are self-contained, each offers plenty of unique excitement straddling epic proportions.
The Mallon are introduced as a recurring villain for the season, making several appearances. Seven of Nine’s evolution continues to be emphasized, with several nods at her past Borg life… particularly with the feature-length episode “Dark Frontier.” The season witnesses Voyager’s triumphant 100th episode and concludes with the first cliffhanger since Season 3.
