Caretaker Synopsis: The Marquis ship and Voyager are pulled into the Delta Quadrant by an entity known as the Caretaker. Date Released: Between 3rd and 23rd September 2001 Interesting Facts: This holds the record for the longest time ever to write an episode of FV. For a short while each part was released separately, but as you can tell it had to be like the original and I really lost interest in writing it. Eventually the other parts were released and it was completed seven months after it's first part. Even the longest Season Four and Five release gaps are shorter by a few months. Current Feedback: It has received one or two reviews on fanfiction.net and an old forum member commented positively about it. Still don't get why though. It has received one or two votes as well. Goofs: As it's like the original version you'll have to check goofs in an actual Voyager guide lol, all I can think of is why was Voyager armed with Tricobolts? || In the original I thought Kes ran up to a guy saying "hello daddy" when it was actually (thanks to finally watching my Voyager Season 1 DVD set with subtitles) Daggin. God damn it, Elogium made me think she was talking about him like he was still alive on Ocampan "I guess I feel lonely, for home" made me think that. Oh well, I'm a tad embarrased about that but never mind. Inspired By: Caretaker Main Characters: Mostly everyone Discuss this episode: Here Enjoyed this episode? Vote for it here

Parallax Synopsis: As soon as B'Elanna starts to settle into her new job, Tom gets into trouble with the Marquis crewmembers. Meanwhile Faye finds herself in another life. Date Released: 14th April 2002 Interesting Facts: This was originally written back in summer 2001 during a holiday, that version followed the original except it had some extra James/Jessie shipping hints (you know to the college fake relationship they had, instead there's just one comment from Tom) and obviously Tom's misfortune with a few Marquis crewmembers, not just Jessie. He did insult Lisa's long hair, Danny but I can't remember how, Jessie and B'Elanna. The released version was changed only cos the paper copy was again too like Caretaker with extra scenes. Current Feedback: I'll say it here, B4FV Season One is the least popular series so far (2004's awards category Best Season proves that, though one person did bother to vote for it) and considering there's only a few token average episodes, three great ones (in my opinion: Outside of Time, Learning Curve and Obsession) and the rest utter failures, it's not surprising. Most of the season hasn't had any kind of feedback. Weirdly enough though Phage has had a vote, and that should be considered one of the weakest.. luckily everyone's spot on with State of Flux (or was until recently when it was voted for) Goofs: None known Inspired By: Parallax and Faye's storyline was a rip of the Buffy episode in late Season 6 where she thinks her life in Sunnydale was her imagination.

The Eye of Ramn Synopsis: Jessie gets a strange alien bracelet as a birthday present, and it causes her to swap bodies with an alien girl. Date Released: 21st April 2002 Interesting Facts: The beginning of the episode is actually from the original version of Parallax that was written on holiday, I just felt that there wasn't enough time to type it into Parallax. Eye of Ramn was also started during the holiday but it never got that far. Current Feedback: Was nominated for Best Episode in 2004.

Time & Again Synopsis: Janeway and James become trapped a day in the past on a doomed planet. As that is happening Tom's attempts to be Jessie's 'friend' goes horribly wrong. Date Released: 26th May 2002 Interesting Facts: This episode was the first prequel episode tackled in any shape or form.. the first scenes were James and Janeway appearing one day in the past.. it was going to be a little mixed up and a little confusing that way, as it looked like it was going to be in the timeline's order (the two appearing, solving the mystery, power plant, Janeway not figuring it out first time, flash then Voyager a day later).

Phage Synopsis: Neelix gets attacked on an away mission and his lungs are stolen. Meanwhile Janeway and Chakotay are getting sick of certain crewmembers, and they force them on an away mission to get rid of them. Date Released: 5th June 2002 Interesting Facts: Even though this episode does in fact introduce a member of the FVDA, the "villains" of the prequel series, it was only meant to be a re-write of the original with no silly Cherry Coke subplot. This was only written that way cos the Season 1 curse tried to infect the prequels when it couldn't affect the main Season 2, ok I don't know why.. that's the only thing I can think of ^_^ Current Feedback: Got two votes, and I'm sure it's been involved in the awards - I think it may have been nominated for Worst Episode Re-write - I know Hunters won that along with one other. Goofs: Not really but: Coca Cola aren't trying to take over the world with Diet Coke with Lemon, not exactly, they're only planning to take over the world with millions of Diet Coke with (insert any flavour in here, but that doesn't matter the Diet sweeteners is all you can taste anyway) brands, including poor Cherry. They must be stopped ^_^ Inspired By: Phage and at the time the Cherry Coke shortage, and the uprising of the Diet Everything plan.. er campaign Main Characters: Discuss this episode: Here Enjoyed this episode?

Light the Fire Synopsis: As Janeway scares some of the crew with her hyper behaviour, James & Jessie try to sort out their relationship. Meanwhile Janeway confirms her terrible secret which causes chaos. Date Released: 21st June 2002 Interesting Facts: Not really interesting but this is one of the few episodes that actually turned out better than planned, the others are Obsession, Outside of Time (Part 1 anyway) and Learning Curve. Current Feedback: Nothing apart from a flame criticising me for writing Pokémon James & Jessie into the series - I'd understand that kind of flame in the main Season 1 but in this season, no. Unless anyone has seen a Pokémon episode where James has constantly punched guys in the face, threatened one, killed two people by just hitting them, and has he ever mentioned having a coffee obsessed mum who grew up in a farmhouse.. (I mean in later seasons obviously) anyone, no? As for Jessie, yeah she's vicious but I doubt you'd see Jessie in a Pokémon episode crying about mistreating James and whatnot. Again anyone? No.. ok, somebody obviously just skimmed the ep and decided it would be fun to annoy me. Goofs: None known Inspired By: The Cloud. Main Characters: Janeway, James & Jessie.

Transfigurations Synopsis: A strange virus starts to infect the woman of the ship causing the male crewmembers some bother. Date Released: 4th September 2002 Interesting Facts: Current Feedback: Was nominated for Best Episode in 2004, and it's been voted for once. Goofs: Just further proof that Tom's either an idiot or has a poor memory. Throughout the series, at least up until James & Jessie finally make it official in late Season 2, Tom only seems to guess, make jokes and/or make jokes about James' sexuality for years, but he clearly overhears a conversation and Danny told him what happened that caused it and that isn't all.

Rite of Intrusion Synopsis: Danny, Ian, Lisa and Lee are selected to witness a strange alien ritual. Meanwhile most of the main cast get trapped in a fly-on-the-wall holodeck program Tom made. Date Released: 19th September 2002 Interesting Facts: Nothing remotely interesting Current Feedback: None Goofs: None known Inspired By: The fanfic mentioned in the disclaimer and Big Brother, along with it's parody sketch on SMTV.

Ex Post Facto Synopsis: Tom gets accused of murder on an alien planet, meanwhile the Fifth Voyager Destruction Association try to be villainous but fail miserably. Date Released: 26th September 2002 Interesting Facts: Obviously Damien was meant to be in the prequels to introduce him properly, and to explain why his character is such a mess in Season One in FV style (in other words fix a mistake I made by basing him originally on a real person and then changing him, so it makes sense in the series). However I hadn't figured out how, he couldn't of been already the "tyrant" behind the Seventh dimension stuff as it was new in Season One, and of course the crew reacted to him like 'meh it's just Damien' like the most evil thing he ever did was steal socks so pairs were broken, in Aggressions (ok they didn't even react, they just ignored him ^_^). The story sort of evolved from the incident in Phage and the fun I had with the celebs during the writing of Transfigurations.. so the scene where the FVDA is first mentioned was added in later and bingo, Damien's part in the series was created. True in Season 2 & 3 (prequels) he should of been in the main cast but truthfully most of the time I didn't plan his appearances in episodes in advance so at the time, I never thought of it. Only when it came to the finale of Season Four I had an idea about it.. there's more about that subject in Season Four/Five's guide. Current Feedback: No feedback, I know that cos it's one of the ones I consider flawless (not really brilliant like some of Season Four but still it's a pleasant read with no cringy scenes, that's what I call flawless), and was disappointed nobody said a thing or voted for it. Goofs: In the flashbacks James was suppose to be speaking his first word when he says 'b**ch', hence the reason why he's quiet before then.. that's mentioned in Season 3, but after that I noticed his age in the flashbacks and he should of spoken earlier than that. Jessie does mention that he was a shy kid when she first met him, but he still should of spoke sometime during flashes as he wouldn't of been shy around his family. Oh well. Inspired By: Ex Post Facto, the rest was just made up as I went along which is nice as whenever that happens, it usually goes horribly wrong when in this ep it doesn't.

Rules & Regulations Synopsis: An awayteam gets caught up in a mystery investigation when they are sent to a planet to look for something Janeway's after. Date Released: 20th October 2002 Interesting Facts: Nothing really Current Feedback: Has received one or two votes despite it being a poor parody of a parody (of course my opinion), Obsession was a parody of the same type of film and turned out better. I'll admit it's only crummy as part way through, the Hunters curse hit it.. we just wanted it finished. Goofs: None known Inspired By: Ace Ventura: Nature Calls.. the beginning scenes of the FVDA were just making fun of Matalan adverts that showed a lot in the UK - actually it was just Damien's first lines that was skitting it but you know.

State of Flux Synopsis: An awayteam find a replicator from Voyager on a Kazon ship, meanwhile Janeway is forced to try out the Doctor's new coffee patch. Date Released: 31st October 2002 Interesting Facts: There's nothing interesting about this episode. Only that the first scenes were written from scratch as I didn't have access to it - my VHS copy only starts when they fire that torpedo to expose the Kazon ship. Thanks to the DVDs I know what happened, surprisingly the original is funny in a way I didn't expect (something about an infection going up the leg and up to.. um ahem, didn't expect it lol) Current Feedback: Worst episode nominee and won Worst Episode Rewrite, recently a vote Goofs: None known Inspired By: State of Flux Main Characters: Chakotay, Janeway..

Deception & Betrayal Synopsis: A shuttle returns to Voyager with Chakotay brain dead inside. Meanwhile Danny, Ian, Jessie and James face the ultimate test of all. Date Released: 7th November 2002 Interesting Facts: This episode originally was mostly a Cathexis parody, with a bit of a subplot. The subplot gained new ideas and extra stuff was added in, some of the less original/less funny scenes of Cathexis was taken out. The new stuff in the subplot was the two tormenters being revealed, and to be FVDA agents too. The dialogue, actually just Gwen's (off memory only) was just copied stuff of what somebody said about / directed to.. etc me during the "war" back in late 2001 to beg of 2003 by the so called girlfriend, not all lines were but some of them were like the leg breaking threat, Gwen being overprotective basically over Darren.. you get the idea. You wont know it but Gwen was only introduced into the episode to be the girl who was saying this stuff to/about (mainly about) me via the internet, this was my way of getting revenge and to hopefully show her what she was doing was taking sides without knowing much to begin with. Yes I was petty then, I learned my lesson.. I'm only petty to celebs I can't stand now, they'll never know ^_^ Besides the revenge is even funnier if my theory about the girlfriend was right, that it was really him himself posting as her.. I guess it should of been Darren saying it considering that he does turn into a girl later right? ||  This interesting fact thing's going to get me into trouble again ^_^ I never said it then but I've known for years now, I wasn't the 100% innocent victim.. maybe 80% ||  The episode was mainly changed cos the original was rubbish with a few jokes, and a little friendship theme but the other reason was partially above. The war between me and the guy grew ugly(ier) at this point when he claimed Firera and Charizard were on his side, the subplot at the time was a homage to that and it needed to be given more episode time and of course as the girlfriend thing (again who Gwen is based off) got more annoying. Current Feedback: A few people have voted for it, and it was the only contender for Best Episode in 2004 against Baby Don't Swear. I'm sure someone's commented on it too, in a good way. I don't remember ever reading any backlash from it either ^_^ Goofs: Strange that two people with celeb names that actually look like them could live out their lives, without anyone noticing that. Obviously Tom was the only 20th century nut after all. Inspired By: Original plot but now subplot by Cathexis, and the other just read Interesting Facts.

Tomorrow's Voyager Synopsis: Voyager finds a temporal rift and they meet a Voyager from nearly seven years in the future. Date Released: 17th November 2002 Interesting Facts: Nothing Current Feedback: It has had a few votes, and I know that one of my readers really loves it. Also it tied for Best Episode in 2005's Awards with the episode The Chain Reaction. Goofs: None, the episode basically doesn't happen. Lena does remember it as well, and there's a comment in a main Season Three ep. Inspired By: I don't know really, but the title was inspired by the TNG episode Yesterday's Enterprise.

Obsession Synopsis: Voyager has it's most valued resource stolen by the FVDA... the Cherry Coke supplies, and several members of the crew attempt to find out it's location. Date Released: 24th January 2003 Interesting Facts: This was originally a two parter, the second half was broken a while. To fix it the trick for Halloween was used, it was all merged into one episode file, leaving a few scenes that were less important to be deleted - in the end the second half would of been tiny in comparison to the first half anyway so it was left as a single episode. All the readers had until it was fixed was a partial recap in the following episode showing a few of the lines in the second half. Sound familiar? The Rhythm woop ^_^ Actually that recap in It's Your Duty helped me fix the third part of that lol. Current Feedback: None I know of, shame.

Learning Curve Synopsis: Tuvok decides to teach Jessie, James, Lisa and Ian in a Starfleet training course, but they're not very easy to handle as he finds out.

Goofs: None known Inspired By: Learning Curve, the theme park stuff was inspired by me playing way too much Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Second Chance Synopsis: James comes close to death and an insane Q takes him back in time to try and change something he regretted doing. Date Released: 29th January 2003 Interesting Facts:  Vulpix had made a huge plot twist to this episode, but she discovered how long it was before even getting there.. the lines mentioned in the ep itself is accurate ("But why, we could have lots more fun. We could go further forward and stop your mum getting killed or something. That is what's in the plot" - Q. "The plot's longer than the last two parter's plot, I don't think so" - James). She decided on just changing the plot twist into one small scene, so James' meddling ends at the college fight and be done with it. Such a waste. Though Dark Page may have turned out different if it was done, the Nutty Q could of changed James' stepmum's murderer as he may not have known himself. It would of been anyway, Vulpix didn't know the killer back then anyway ^_^ Current Feedback: Best Episode nominee in 2004. Goofs: None known Inspired By: TNG episode Tapestry.

Elogium Synopsis: Voyager gets into a fight for survival in a creature's battle field, Kes goes into her mating cycle early and Chakotay's secret comes out into the open. Date Released: 5th February 2003 Interesting Facts: We really couldn't think of anything to improve this, this is why it turned out to be a complete waste of time with the Worms skit. No that's not interesting. Current Feedback: Obviously a Worst Episode nominee. Oh and it had a review basically saying "wtf".. and thinking Neelix & Kes having a kid would of been gross, yeah I know reviewer, why do you think I wrote it so Kes never had any interest in doing that.

Paris Camera Synopsis: Tom puts a camera on his head to monitor the crew for a day, with hilarious results. Date Released: 12th February 2003 Interesting Facts: A lot of possible new FVDA candidates were introduced to maybe be in the team for a while, even into the second season. However most of them were crap and couldn't be parodied and made funny that easily. The Tatu girls were chosen for Outside of Time just to be killed, Justin was the only real "good" part about that idea as he's really the butt in all of the FVDA scenes for the rest of the time he's around.

The 2003's Synopsis: Voyager comes across the planet where dozens of celebrities have been dumped only to discover most of them are secretly FVDA agents. Date Released: 3rd March 2003 Interesting Facts: A viewers poll determined some of the deaths of the celebs: Claire with her toothpick (actually the reader wanted her and duo partner H to die that way, but H plays James and that's a bit confusing if he was there too), and I think the Beckhams death too.

Outside of Time (Part 1) Synopsis: Voyager encounters an entire fleet of adrift ships surrounding the USS Leda, a Starfleet ship which disappeared over 90 years ago.
