 EASTER EGGS

There are four Easter Eggs in Season One. They are called the "Lost Transmissions from the Delta Quadrant". They are all located on Disc 5, the Special Features Disc of Season One, and are fairly easy to find.

What are the Easter Eggs?
  • Interview with Kate Mulgrew on playing Janeway. (1:32) (Picture)
  • Michael Pillar talks about the more reserved look of Janeway. (0.58) (Picture)
  • Brannon Braga on the episode "Phage" and the development of the characters. (1:21) (Picture)
  • A look at the episode "Eye Of The Needle" and includes an interview with Vaughn Armstrong who plays Telek. (1:16) (Picture)

Where can I find them?

The Easter Eggs are randomly scattered around Voyager's hull. There are two on the first Special Features page, and another two on the second Special Features page:

  • The Kate Mulgrew Interview is hidden within the large set of windows on the underside of the USS Voyager.
  • Michael Piller's interview about Janeway's original hairstyle is within a Sensor Array towards the back of Voyager.
  • Brannon's talk about the episode Phage and the Vidiians can be found on the Maneuvering Thruster towards the front of Voyager.
  • Finally, The interview with Vaughn Armstrong can be found on Voyager's Warp Nacelle Hinge/Wing.

Please Note: The "Lost Transmissions" will not actually be labeled on the DVD Menus, they will be highlighted with a light blue colour when selected.
