Editorial Review:
STAR TREK VOYAGER: THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON details the adventures of the Starfleet's most adventurous starship, the U.S.S. Voyager, as it is led by Capitan Kathryn Janeway (Mulgrew) on missions into deep space.
Description of Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Sixth Season:
In their sixth season trying to return to the Alpha Quadrant, the crew of Voyager continues to find signs that they may be close to home. They ran across another Federation starship in the season 5 cliffhanger, "Equinox," which is concluded in action-packed fashion. Then they benefit from a brief communications link to home thanks to the ongoing efforts of The Next Generation's Lt. Reginald Barclay (Dwight Schultz), occasionally assisted by Counsellor Troi (Marina Sirtis). "One Small Step" sets Voyager on the trail of NASA's first manned mission to Mars (one of the bonus features details Robert Picardo's post-Trek work with NASA).
In other episodes, Torres (Roxann Biggs-Dawson) tests the limits of Klingon honor ("Barge of the Dead"), Tuvok (Tim Russ) stretches his emotions ("Riddles), Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and Kim (Garrett Wang) embark on a new holdeck program, wrestling superstar the Rock makes a gimmicky guest appearance ("Tsunakatse"), a former crew member returns ("Fury"), and the crew discovers a group of abandoned Borg children ("Collective"). The two most interesting characters continue to be the Doctor (Picardo) and Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). The former stretches out numerous times ("Tinker, Tailor, Doctor, Spy," "Virtuoso," "Life Line"), and we learn more about Seven's Borg past in "Survival Instinct" and the season closer, in which Seven discovers that during regeneration she can enter a dream world called Unimatrix Zero. There she meets a number of mutated Borg who can exist in this world in their pre-assimilation state and who also present an idea for destroying the collective from within. The Borg Queen, however, discovers the plan and ends the season in a nightmarish cliffhanger that recalls the great Next Gen episode "The Best of Both Worlds." --David Horiuchi
Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Sixth Season Reviews:
the package is somehow cheap 
2009-09-29 - at this price you will get the complete season sixth. that's it. the episodes name are written in the dvd center ring and not very visible.
the dvd image quality is good but the package is somehow cheap...
Season 6 - Voyager
2009-04-25 - Season 6 was one of the best of the series, and looking forward to watching them all on DVD!!
GREAT ADVENTURES 
2008-12-06 - I THINK THIS IS THE BEST IN THE STAR TREK ADVENTURES IN SPACE.JANWAY AND CREW IS ON THE TOP OF THEIR GAME.
Mature, polished episodes make this set a winner
2008-09-29 - As I work my way through these "Voyager" boxed sets, more and more I'm kicking myself for not watching these programs when they originally aired (due to foolishly buying into a lot of the anti-Voyager hype at the time, as well as a hatred for commercial interruptions). In any event, I'm seeing these shows now, and the ones that make up season six are particularly good. The season is ripe with solid, character-based adventures, ambitious effects, and even a generous look at the larger Star Trek universe beyond the isolated Delta Quadrant. Without diluting the integrity of the show's premise, we get to see fan favorite characters like The Next Generation's Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) and Dwight Schultz (Reginald Barclay). It's clever how the program pulls off these guest appearances while solidly keeping Voyager stranded light years away across the galaxy, but you'll have to watch the actual shows to see how it's done. As always, generous extra features provide a nice cap to this entertaining batch of episodes. I'm kind of sorry there's only one more season to go before it's all over.
Excellent Season, highlighted by "Pathfinder"
2008-08-23 - Though my favorite Trek will always be Deep Space Nine, followed by The Next Generation, I give Voyager a lot of credit for growing as a series. When it first started, I found it to be dreadful. It was only after the addition of Seven of Nine that the show became more focused, and the cast really started to gel. By the end of the series' run, I found it a very respectable show and an important part of the Star Trek universe.
Still, while the general quality of the episodes ranged from average to good, Voyager turned in two of the very best Star Trek episodes ever produced. The first is "Latent Image" in season 5, in which the very nature of the Doctor's sentience is debated. It's one of the finest hours of television I've ever seen, and in itself justifies the existence of Voyager. The other is the episode "Pathfinder," found here in season 6. Dwight Schultz reprises his TNG role as Reginald Barclay, he of awkward social skills, many phobias, and holosuite addiction. The episode focuses on Barclay's determination to establish communication with Voyager, a ship that, like himself, is far removed from comfort and "home." Whereas Barclay was an interesting character on TNG, here he is even more vital and emotionally moving as he struggles to aid the lost Voyager, and in so doing find a place for himself and a connection to other people. Even the minor characters shine in this episode - I could go on and on, but really you've just got to see it and experience it for yourself. (And stick around for the half-dozen or so episodes that follow it, as they do keep the ball rolling rather well, with some very well-crafted plots and intriguing premises.)
Voyager's final three seasons really were terrific, and "Pathfinder" represents the show at its best. I'd expect any Star Trek fan would be very happy to have this episode, and this stand-out season, as part of his or her collection.
