Would you have liked a season 8?

Well, maybe they would have (& quickly) broken up (like in the books, lol, thanks Christie!).The only problem I'd have with S8 is C/7. Would we have to watch an entire season of that garbage
^Yeah, C/7 lasted all of 30 pages into the first Homecoming novel

I'd vote "no" to season 8, if it meant more C/7. 
I would not have liked a Season 8. The show felt burned out by Season 7. I would have liked to see what happened to them when they got home. I think one episode after Endgame would have been enough. I would have liked to see an ironic ending. Once they get home, Seven would be hauled off to be interrogated and the Maquis would be thrown in the stockade by some rogue Admiral (head of Starfleet security?) who had a grudge against them. We've seen plenty worthless self-serving Admirals in the past. Janeway and her Starfleet crew would bust their family out. Those not wanting to remain on Earth would takeoff with Voyager into the deep unknown with or without Janeway. I would have had Naomi stow aboard after her mom is reunited with her husband. Is Voyager to return again? Who knows. That's what novels are for. Cobra
Season 8 of DS9 would have been better in my opinion

I would have loved a VOY movie...but no S8.
You took the words out of my keyboard. Or at least one mor epi about the first days back at home. I'm cheesy, I know, but a "well done son" from admiral Paris would have been sooo nice
Agreed.
On a different note, I think that fewer filler episodes would have made a difference. The problem with American shows is that they usually have 20-something episodes per series.... fewer eps make for tighter story lines because the writers then are not forced to, well, pull filler stories out of their hats.
A series eight? Dunno. I'd have liked a better finale, you know, a more satisfying one.... but seven years are quite enough imo.

I think it would have been voyagers best season, with them settling in back in the alpha quadrant, it could have been really interesting. The reason "endgame" dissapointed me most was because it kind of just dumped voyager in front of earth, and then it just ended, there was no satisfaction in seeing the crew reunite with families and things like that, I just think it was a wasted oppertunity.
OH, HELL-to-the-NAH!!!
...and I LOVED Voyager but even I could see that they ran out of interesting things for the characters to do. They failed to challenge them sufficiently in the last...2 to 3 seasons.
Voyager ended when it should have. It wasn't a bad series but it wasn't great either...not at the end. When Jeri Ryan is allowed to suck on Robert Beltran's finger...it's time to put that horse down!
No... but at the same time I don't understand why every Star Trek had to be 1 season = 1 year. It would have been interesting to toy with the idea of pushing a couple of years ahead each season, or one big jump ahead like Desperate Housewives did a few years ago.
They could have stretched the "trip home" out to 12 or 15 years and that would have been fascinating. Maybe a pain for the actors + makeup.... but do we really care about that?

I was thinking about that the other day. I remember in China Beach when they flipped through 20 years in the matter of three quarters of a season. It would have been nice to have seen limited focal episodes that would skip forward until they made it to the AQ. Novels could have filled in the gaps.
Two thoughts.
Enterprise inherited Voyagers writing room.
Switch the casts species and locations around and Voyager season 8 would have looked almost identical to Enterprise season one.
If Enterprise still began when it did but DID NOT inherit Voyagers writing room, then that show from the toes up would have been utterly utterly different and Star trek might still have be on TV today.

Just like SGU's current problem are inherit of Atlantis's last season so that is a logical conclusion. Enterprise despite the concept errors might have been better than Voyager by far.
Stories about the Voyager crew settling back in to life in the Alpha Quadrant would have been good for an entire episode or two, but definitely not for an entire season, IMO. Something else would have to happen in that eighth season that would make it interesting, such as something from the Delta Quadrant that followed the Voyager home and presented a threat to a weakened post-Dominion War Federation perhaps.
