Star Trek Pilots Episode 3: Voyager

Once again I struggled with the overall bad video quality of the original DVD. I reframed every scene to make it fit to the widescreen format. When it came to the editing there was not too much I wanted to remove from this episode as it is all introducing the characters or plot essential, without ever being great. The beginning and the basic idea for the Caretaker are nice (except for the annoying Tom Paris, who is made way too important), but when it then comes to the farmhouse world, the Kazon on the planet, who are an advanced species but cannot produce water, the strange underground society of the Ocampa and the always annoying Neelix, things get seriously worse. It took me a long while to motivate myself, because I do not like the episode much and reframing a 90 minutes movie again was also not as much fun as it was with the first one.

The decision to remove several scenes with the super-sized Kazon spaceship was the most important one to add a tiny bit of star Trek reality to the episode.

Like both predecessors this is not at all Star Trek movie quality. It is a labour of love for fans of the show, who will probably never see it in widescreen nor in HD quality.
