Voyager Sexy Spotlight - Seska - Martha Hackett

Seska is the girl you definitely don't want to take home to Mother.  On the other hand, if you want a conniving, double dealing and basically psychopathic personality to join the family, perhaps Mom would take a real shine to her.  On Star Trek: Voyager, actress Martha Hackett brought to life a Bajoran who was really a Cardassian.


Seska, among many other interesting things, was a spy - surgically altered to appear a Bajoran. She'd romance Chakotay (Robert Beltran), then throw the love affair back in his face by carrying on with a Kazon heavy.  The ultimate betrayal would be her pretending to have Chakotay's baby, when in reality, it was the son of the Kazon Culluh.

Neelix's Ship - Voyager Spotlight

Neelix became many things on Voyager - cook, host, guide, inspirational icon.  To some he was admirable, even cute - to others he was just plain annoying.  However, before he came aboard Janeway's starship, he had his own ship - the freighter, The Baxial.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight - Seven of Nine - Jeri Ryan

Seven of Nine is Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01.  Well, at least she used to be.  When Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and her Voyager starship crew encountered the Borg in the Delta Quadrant, 7of9 was employed as a kind of go between to the Starfleet crew to help defeat Species 8472.  Actress Jeri Ryan (Boston Public) then joined the UPN TV show as a regular cast member.

Seven joined the starship on its journey to the Alpha Quadrant - using her enhanced capabilities and wide reaching knowledge she shared while part of the vast Borg collective. Before being just a number, Seven was a little human girl named Annika Hansen.  Her parents, intrepid scientists and explorers, brought her along on a study mission of the rampaging cybernetic race.  This led to her assimilation as a Borg drone.

Though her guarded and outright standoffish behavior made her alienate some, she eventually became an indispensable member of the Voyager crew, and made friends with many, including; Neelix, Naomi Wildman, Doc (Robert Picardo) and even engaged in romantic relations with first officer Chakotay - Robert Beltran.  Seven and Janeway clashed often, but in the end, the conflicts usually led to practical solutions to the struggles the crew faced while warping home to Earth.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight: Kellin - Virginia Madsen

Captain Janeway's Voyager kept up the trek back home from the Delta Quadrant to the Alpha Quadrant for seven seasons.  Along the way, Kate Mulgrew (Orange Is The New Black) and her crew encountered bizarre, sexy aliens and some familiar, yet frightening faces like the rampaging Borg.  One of the most unforgettable - in the episode of the same name - was Kellin played by actress Virginia Madsen.

Madsen has had quite a memorable acting career, and she was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in the 2004 film, Sideways, co-starring Paul Giamatti (Private Parts) and Thomas Hayden Church.  Kellin's people had the peculiar ability to make all others forget about their very existence, after only a few short hours of meeting them.  Talk about not making an impression!

Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Headset Charts Star Trek Voyager Bridge

Star Trek used the incredible holodeck for fun, exploring, simulation and experimentation.  Now, we have Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Headset to explore Star Trek: Voyager.


Although still not commercially available as a product, the Oculus Rift may also allow users to explore Game Of Thrones or Jerry Seinfeld's apartment.  In the demo available for viewing on YouTube, one can stroll around Captain Janeway's starship bridge - as the ship's various stations blink and beep merrily.  But don't be lulled into a false sense of security - before you know it, Red Alerts sound and a frantic battle scene grips the Intrepid Class Starship.
