When all the negative Star Trek News fans have been forced to last lately, it is important to remember good times.
And the best time at Star Trek is forever our favorite decade.
In the 90s!
The 1990s was Star Trek’s gold time, with numerous successful Trek films and three different series.
From 1995 to 2001, Star Trek: Voyager was the last of these series, and also the last Star Trek TV to get all seven seasons.
Despite numerous attempts, no show has achieved it ever since.
Over time PassengerThe reputation has grown to the point where Captain Janeway is now a coffee meme and seven of the nine are a loved character lobbying to get their own series.
Star Trek: Travel There were ups and downs, but the biggest of the exhibition took place in one particular episode.
Star Trek: Voyager Best Section: Voyager
“Equinox” is a story of what could have been – distressing overlook to what Passenger Could come if the crew rejected their principles.
This two-piece rock exchanger grabbed the audience during the exhibition’s break in the same way as season 5 finals and season 6 in 1999 For the next generation“The best part of both worlds 1 and 2” was ten years earlier.
Five years before episode events, Federation starry sky Passenger The caregiver left the remote galaxy, an entity that left them towards the 70th anniversary.
Decided to maintain Starfleet values, PassengerThe crew placed the course on Earth.
Without knowing them, another federation ship, EquationThe caretaker also gave up.
Nova class science area with a crew of only 78, Equation had limited weapons and the top speed of the warp 8 compared to PassengerIntrepid class design with 141 crew members, advanced weapons and the maximum speed of the LOD 9.975.
Unlike better -equipped PassengerWhat Equation The crew chose a darker path, but it is not clear at first.
When Passenger face Equation For five years in hostile mode, they find a mysterious attack on the abused ship alien power.
These nucleogenic aliens’ unregulated attacks through multi -dimensional CGIs, which are subject to a significant part of the period budget in their ethereal format, consume. It Equation On shambles, its crew was destroyed.
The Voyager team is looking for a wreck and finds a survival that is buried in the ruins, “Tell me if your feet are still there.” Actor Rick has completely improvised this brutal line of Crewman Noah Lessing.
Another crew member jumps out of the trash, shooting wildly non -existent attackers before collapsing, while the remaining survivors are almost catatonic trauma.
It Equationdecayed decor, inspired by submarine warfare films like Boatstrongly opposed PassengerStarfleet -aesthetic aesthetic, emphasizing despair.
Janeway and her crew are delighted to find another federal Delta quadrant, and they jump to help their Starfleet officers, seek to repair their vessels, and seek defense against attackers.
It EquationCaptain, Rudolph Ransom (play John Savage), once a respected Starfleet Officer, claims that they do not know why these creatures target them.
The truth is much darker: the French crew found that multidimensional creatures could be killed and transformed as super fuel for thrust.
By rejecting Starfleet’s rules and morals, they have slaughtered foreigners speeds up your trip home.
Ransom appeals to despair – starvary, death, judgment – but but PassengerCrew led by Captain Janeway (Kate mulgrew), abandon his excuses.
When janeway tries to hold them on, Equation Crew escapes, harmful Passenger And leaving them exposed to revenge foreigners.
Janeway’s rage is to light. Over the two -piece he risks the crew of his life to end the ransom, threatens to kill Equation Crewman for information and frees up his first officer Chakotay as he challenges his almost murderous regulations.
This darker Janeway, at that time was a bold deviation from its diplomatic norm. Kate Mulgrew uses it best, delivering one of her most interested performances, while Actors succeed with a manuscript that gives everyone a moment.
Mulgrew has previously admitted that his heart was not always in his Voyager job. He struggled with personal questions in much of the exhibition production, and there was a contradiction between him and Jeri Ryan, which often exploded in the series.
But for these episodes, he chewed the scenery. Janeway becomes unreasonable commander fans wanted Captain Kirk Chip on your shoulder.
Writers Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky channeled it on purpose Original series‘Energy, grounding it in PassengerStake.
The two-part most haunted area includes seven in nine (Jeri Ryan) and a doctor (Robert Picardo), pupil and teacher, imprisoned Equation.
Ransom writes the doctor’s program, transforming the healer into a sadistic scientist. When the doctor tortures seven, dig into his brain in a procedure that can kill him, he manipulates him to sing “my Darlin ‘Clementine” as a sick duet.
Director David Livingston chose this folk song for his ghostly simplicity, last -minute decision, which became iconic. Echo deep EquationThe seven crumbling intestines, seven, forced to sing sweet harmony when his best friend murdered is unforgettable.
By the end of the episode, nothing is attached. Equipment explodes, fracture of relationships, and not everyone is sorry.
It paid. “Equinox” was critical and fans’ success, praised for its strong performance, moral complexity and film quality.
A 1999 TV guide Review called it “Passenger Its salty, ”while fan surveys in the early 90s in Internet forums, such as Trekweb, placed it among the best in the series.
Its heritage continues as fans continue to discuss Janeway’s ethics and investment “Equinox” alongside “Hell’s Year” and “Scorpion” PassengerThe finest hours.
The episode has been strongly influenced later Wander Exhibitions, with Star Trek: ProdigyWriters are attracting to explore moral gray areas as inspiration for the 2024 period.
Divid Livingston’s “Equinox” seems like an epic movie like a TV episode. And that’s part of why it still works so well, decades later.
But at that time, the home network of the exhibition did not want to do it. UPN that would later disturb, spoil and cancel Star Trek: Enterpriseclaimed that they preferred independent episodes with regard to the arches of serial arches to attract random viewers.
However, the success of Star Trek Voyager’s 4 -part “hell” previously offered the writers and Livingston’s lever effect to negotiate a more ambitious, character -driven story.
One Wander A veteran with 62 episodes in the franchise area also demanded and received a longer shooting program than usual. He had 10 days to work with each episode instead of the usual 7 of each episode.
Livingston used hand -held cameras and obscure lighting, inspired BoatFor a rough, movie that works in his budget and time limits.
The actor practiced extensively to nail the emotional intensity as Mulgrew and the wild tied to their joint theater background to clarify their confrontation.
For Kate Mulgrew, the episode was one of the highlights of his career. In 2003 Star Trek DVD comment, he called it “the episode for which we all found in our A-game,” Livingston places it in his favorite steering experience during his career.
“Equinox” is not just PassengerThe best episode – it’s a flash of what kind of series could have been if it is allowed to drive boundaries.
Many mention the peak of the 4 “Hell’s Year” of the season, but the “Year of Hell” marked the beginning PassengerRisk taking. It meant a willingness to break down PassengerOften the static formula, a way of thinking that reached its peak with “Equinox”.
Equinox is captivated by Passenger Its the brave examination of what happens when the ideals of Starfleet crumbles under pressure.
