  • Recently a number of news sites have reported that a copy of the script for upcoming voyager episode 'Shattered' has appeared online at Thinkey's Universe. Unfortunately for those in the spoiler game, the 'script' was in fact a hoax, in reality only a work of fanfiction based on the premise of the episode, according to a message posted on the website. There is now a easily identifiable work of fanfiction in it's place. To see for yourself, please click here.

  • This month's edition of TV Zone magazine contains round-up of the year's sci-fi tv shows, and the news isn't good for Voyager fans. The show comes in at second place for the 'worst idea of the year' category, with "'Seven wrestles'; 'Tuvok goes a bit camp'; 'Borg kids learn how to be human' but worst of all 'The crew goes to an Irish village. Twice'". The issue, number 39, also contains a comprehensive season 6 episode guide.
