Which Voyager Episodes Had the Best Space Battles?

I always hated Voyager.

But IIRC, they had some really well done space battles.

"Message In A Bottle", "Unmatrix Zero" both spring to mind.

I've never seen "Dragon's Teeth" but I've heard some good things about it.

Can anyone name some episodes with great space battles in them?
 
You named three already that have good space battles. Basics, Year of Hell (you'd enjoy this one as Voyager gets it's ass beat), and Endgame would be three more.
Actually Voyager in general has some great SFX. Once they got away from the physical models.
 
For my money, Endgame was the best battle in Voyager, but it cant compare to the good battles in TOS or Enterprise.
 
The battle in "Caretaker" was also good, especially when Chakotay rams his Maquis ship into the Kazon cruiser.
 
I liked the battle in "Caretaker". For the "Endgame" battle I had a hard time following what what going on but the effects were pretty good.
 
I was always partial to "Basics," Part I. The funny thing is, against all those odds, it looked like Voyager could have actually won thanks to all its prep time.
 
it's not realy a battle, but the scene in Fury was awesome when kes's shuttle crashes into Voyager and she walks down the hall with all the bulkheads exploding behind her :techman:

That one of my favorite scenes too, next too Species 8472 crawling on the outside of Voyager in "Prey".

Back to battles, I think it was "Unimatrix Zero" where both Voyager & the Delta Flyer go up against a Borg Cube. Those effects were pretty cool.

While not technically a battle but I also found the count down for Voyager setting a bomb and barely escaping a Borg sphere in "Child's Play" intense too.

I never liked Kes but that was a pretty awesome scene!

I just watched Caretaker on Spike TV today (they're starting over) and I, too, like when Chakotay smashed his ship into the Kazon ship, it was pretty cool.

Sometimes VGR had great SFX but a lot of the time it looked VERY computer game-like.

They really did have a lot of great battles in Voyager. They did kick up the visual effects another level from TNG, with more CGI and it really did look great. I especially liked anything with the Borg. I dunno, there's something about those giant cubes, spheres, and tetrahedrons chasing Voyager that was always cool.
 
I think 'Dark Frontier' had great battle sequences. From the opening fight with the scout ship, to the rest of it ... it was good. I also liked the fight between Voyager and Equinox in 'Equinox, Part Two.' And 'Scorpion' had some good battle sequences, as well. I love the part where Voyager gets hit by 8472's energy beam and then tumbles end over end and then vaults into warp ... great shot. As well as the scene of all the cubes rushing past earlier in the episode.

I want whatever computer game system you've got!
 
We were discussing Battle Scenes here, not cheap effects from a bad episode.

Stay on topic, please. :mad:
Hey...kimc and I will take care of the moderation here.
Chill. :vulcan:

Kewl space battles and neat SFX shots kind of go hand in hand.

sorry buddy, just because you don't like an episode doesn't mean that others can't like it.

Like it or not, that episode had FANTASTIC visual effects that were far from "cheap"

I'm going to comment right here so others can see it.

how is it that Lynx attacks me and I get the warning? Why is it that you take the side of a person who was banned for being a trouble maker over a new poster, who was never given a fair chance. Every comment I make here you attack as trolling or flaming or whatever you call it. I think you are too high on your own "power" as a mod.
