The 1997-98 season gets a noticeable boost from the addition to the roster of Seven of Nine, the half-human, half-Borg female played by Jeri Ryan, whose striking features and statuesque figure instantly made her a fan favorite. Voyager remains stranded in the Delta Quadrant in these 26 episodes, far from Federation outposts and constantly beset by hostile forces. The season opener, "Scorpion, Part Two," has Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and Chakotay (Robert Beltran) striking a temporary alliance with the Borg in order to fight a common enemy; as part of this agreement, Voyager gets Seven of Nine. Over the course of the year Janeway will gradually encourage Seven to shrug off her Borg characteristics and allow her human qualities to come to the fore. With a surfeit of strong female characters, Star Trek: Voyager doesnt really suffer from the early-season departure of the empathic Kes (Jennifer Lien), who gets a dramatic sendoff in "The Gift." The high point of Season 4 is undoubtedly "Year of Hell," a tense two-parter in which Voyager is time-transported into a war zone, subjected to merciless attack, and very nearly destroyed. Series regular Robert Picardo, who plays the Doctor, takes center stage in "Message in a Bottle," which finds him making contact with an embattled Federation ship in the Alpha Quadrant. And Ryan proves shes able to carry an episode in "One," which puts her in charge of Voyager when a highly radioactive nebula forces the rest of the crew to go into long-term stasis. Fans who thought Season 3 showed evidence of fatigue nearly all felt that the 1997-98 episodes represented a creative shot in the arm for Voyager, and some devotees number these 26 installments among the very best, not only in this series but the entire Star Trek saga.
