10 Times Star Trek Reused Sets And Hoped You Wouldn't Notice

8. Sainte Claire/Fair Haven

Star Trek: Voyager's fourth season was enormous in terms of scope. It opened with the concluding part of Scorpion, before barrelling forward into Year Of Hell. Other episodes like Prey saw a large amount of digital work being realised, so Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky's The Killing Game may not have been met with the enthusiasm granted to other scripts.

This was a big one - the Hirogen were going to take control of Voyager, forcing everyone into holographic death matches. The first part opens with Janeway taking a Klingon dagger to the chest, before suddenly appearing in a French village.

As you do.

This village of Sainte Claire was filmed on Universal Studio's 'European Street' or 'Little Europe' set, which actually offered the cast and crew a chance to get away from stage work and get out to shoot on location. Roxanne Dawson and Jeri Ryan were both glad of the scenery change.

When it came to Fair Haven, in the show's sixth season, the crew once again returned to Universal Studios. The sets were redressed, though the same physical buildings were used in both. As an Irishman writing this article, however, the reuse of sets is the least of Fair Haven's issues.
