Voyager ending

[DonIago]

Extending my "poetic justice" snark from above, I would have found it a somewhat depressing but also very noble ending to the series if, after seeing that the revised timeline was generally worse for people, Our Heroes made the decision to undo their own shortcut because they realized that in their efforts to 'save themselves' they'd screwed everyone else.

Even if that resulted in a, "And they were never seen again..." ending (for the time-being), we'd know that Our Heroes were still out there doing good.

As per usual in threads focusing on "Endgame", I'll just opine that it would have been poetic justice if the timeline Janeway 'created' at the end was ultimately worse for everyone than the original one.

Other posters have more than sufficiently covered my preponderance of issues with the finale.

Those 29th century colleagues of Braxton should have come to get Adm. Janeway, and make her watch an obscure early 21st century movie (The Butterfly Effect) a compulsory 50 times or so

Too bad she had no memories of Annorax...

The novelverse does an interesting job of explaining why the timecops didn't intervene. I doubt everyone was pleased by the explanation (nor are all of the timecops), but it is interesting.

It would have been good to see what happens when the Voyager crew members are back on earth.

I thought it was terrible, I hated that we had to resort to time travel and Borg technology to get the ship home. Tuvoks illness came out of nowhere and gave us no time to emotionally invest in it all, for a character who had been around since the pilot I thought he was treated really poorly here.

It was a long time ago now but I dunno, I felt cheated a little, we waited 7 years, traversed the Delta quadrant together, grew to love and care for these characters the best we got was a Super duper Janeway from the future with cheat tech to get the ship home ?

A cop out.

I don't know what I'd have done different, but I know what I like and what I don't, I didn't like the Voyager finale.

Even as J/C shipper trash (/pos) myself, the C/7 thing got an oversized amount of hatred as the biggest issue with the finale. As two subsequent shows have decisively proven, this was ultimately inconsequential fluff that was easily ignored. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Alt-Admiral Janeway rewriting history and all the baggage that comes with her decision.

Plus narratively speaking, it's just less fun when it's not our own crew we watched figuring this stuff out instead of being gifted a solution.

 

[DonIago]

You have a valid point about the C/7 aftermath, but I suspect if the reception to it had been more positive than the aftermath might have been different as well.

I thought the ending was okay overall, but generally speaking my view is that Voyager relied on the Borg as enemies way too much. The finale would've been more powerful if we hadn't seen them so often after Seven was introduced, but it seemed they popped up at least once or twice every season after that.

A well known YouTuber said Voyager had two main problems...
1. Nothing mattered (reset button smashing).
2. Regularly grabbing stuff that worked on TNG, to prop itself up.

I remember dimly hoping that the finale would be marked by the return of Suspiria(sp).

That would have made a much stronger and more meaningful finale.

what did u guys think of voyagers ending?
What were u expecting as the ending to voyager? Also if you could rewrite voyagers ending how would u have had it end?

Do you actually read people's answers to your question? You seem to have disappeared ...

Anyway ... ENDGAME is not my favourite episode - but in contrast to most people I did like that the Borg were included. It seems I'm alone with this but an ending where Voyager did not make it back to the Alpha Quadrant would have been way more preferable for me. So I didn't really like the ending and what the relaunch books did even less so ...

With the Renaissance of Star Trek we are having these days I'd loved to have seen how the story continued. With flesh and blood characters, no animation nonsense. And exclusively in the Delta Quadrant!

 

[Oddish]

Well, outside of animation we've seen what happened to Tuvok, Janeway, and Seven.

They're showing as Last Seen on September 19, sooooo...

It's the only "Trek" finale that I actually liked. Well, I take that back. I did like the first half of the "Deep Space Nine" finale. I just didn't like the second half.

 

[Akiraprise]

One thing you can say about it is the fact that it is indeed a definitive end. Like it or hate it.

Series Premier: Priority 1 - Get home.
Series Finale: Random Borg and time travel stuff happened. They got home. End. A very abrupt ending.

Janeway's "We made it?!" kind of sums up the series and all of it's behind the scene drama pretty well too. They completed the default 7 seasons of the era at the time when it was in doubt at times. ENT was not so fortunate.

More borg, more time travel. Yawn. I found it all very yawny and very seen it all before.

I think sadly it and the show generally missed the point. It should have been about the journey, the melding of the crews... getting home was a byproduct. They should have carried on travelling.

I would have liked to have seen them shed the uniforms, make voyager their home, decorate the damn place... and maybe Janeway die, someone else take over and for it to start to become a generational ship.

Huh?

It didn't make much sense that only two people got married, and two children were born, one already conceived.

This wasn't 150 brave souls trapped far from home... it was 10 principal characters and a bunch of mindless, sexless, meaningless automatons.

Then again, ENT did get the greatest finale ...

<ducks>

Our Heroes were on a Borg cube?
