How would you have liked Voyager to end? (Spoilers)
- Thread starter Antonovus
- Start date
I would have liked for the ship to get back a few episodes early. Have a couple episode of readjustment, see what happens to Seven, to the EMH, to the Maquis. Then in the finale some threat comes from the DQ that Voyager is reassembled and called to fight due to their experience. Maybe they steal Voyager without permission after ordered to stay put in true Trek fashion.
I liked the final episode well enough, the echoing of AGT, "The Visitor" and "Timeless" was appropriate as was having some big action. Also, as declawed as the Borg had already become it was worthwhile and enjoyable to see them being taken down, completely or at least in large part. I also think both most of the series and "Endgame" make clear that the Maquis members would be pardoned and it could feel awkward and forced to suddenly make whether they will or won't be (when they obviously will be) a big focus at the end.
The biggest thing I would change would be maintain more of the tension and disagreement between Janeway and Future Janeway, probably have the former succeed without a lot of help by the latter, rather than have the latter flip flop to agreeing the former's ways were better.

Riddled with implants?
This isn't a bad idea. Maybe Naomi is in command and Icheb is first officer. With them reminiscing about our crew dealing with the Endgame Borg crisis that caused Voyager some major damage and forced them to take the transwarp conduit back to a different part of the Delta Quadrant or some other section of the galaxy. The Borg are dealt a major blow and the ship and crew were saved but some our senior staff don't make it. Noble self sacrificing deaths for Janeway and Seven I'd presume.
At the very least, even though the series was about the journey home, some reunion scenes back on Earth were in order with family.
I would have liked to have a final showdown with Suspiria, the female Caretaker.
Suspiria should have made a last attempt to destroy the ship. At that point, Kes would have returned from the spirit world in which she ended up in "The Gift" with the help of Q.
Then Kes would have convinced Suspiria that she was wrong in her hatred against Voyager, that the Voyager crew were innocent when it came to the death of the Caretaker and that the Voyager crew actually fulfilled the Caretakers last wish in destroying the Array.
Then Suspiria would have realized that she had been wrong all the time and tried to make up for all problems she created by sending the ship home. Q would have fulfilled Kes's wish to have a human lifespan.
Then we would have had some homecoming scenes with the crew members.
And why not a happy ending between janeway and Chakotay!

Epilogue scene for 'Endgame', camera pans to an opium filled room on some backwater planet where the whole show was a drug induced hallucination by The Delany sisters.
So I'm watching the Goodwife which is ending soon, very soon, and the new indictment against the bad husband comes to a head. Big is in handcuffs, and Alicia has to stand by his side even though she has every interest in running, because it's the decent thing to do... Y'know kinda what she did 7 years ago in the pilot.
Wow I thought: They're totally bookending the pilot with the finale, except they took 6 episodes to slow pitch wind up before striking out the batter in a week or two. Voyager's Endgame without a hint of Caretaker, jamming everything into 2 hours, totally blows.

Love the Good Wife! But was heart-broken when Will left, I loved the chemistry between them. I am apparently a big sucker for screen chemistry. But that's a different story. I agree, the deja vu "Stand by your man" theme is interesting. I think the writing on this show is great and so I am curious to see how things will play out.
As to the topic at hand: I agree with those who'd like to see more about the crew coming back and readjusting to life on Earth (or not). After 7 years it won't be all kisses, hugs, roses, champagne and fireworks for everybody. There would have to be some real adjustment issues for some/many, crew and their loved ones.
As a hopelessly stupidly romantic J/C shipper I would, of course, want to see them blissfully united after some heart-wrenching and very serious obstacles are overcome. Sort of like a to of the fan fiction

It's about the journey not the destination.
Last seconds of the last episode of That 70s show, was New Years Eve and they're watching the clock almost nearly but not quite tick down to midnight.

Ooh, compelling, but, at the rate they were going, without a mandatory breeding program (stop swooning, Guy, wherever you are), not too believable.
Might be even more poetic to have most of the core cast make it back, but when they're freaking old, and they'd been Voyaging so long that the AQ was no longer their home, and most retired to a quiet colony where their families could visit them, but they actually lived together, because by then their family well and truly was each other.At the other, action-heavy end of the spectrum, an adaptation of the game Elite Force (perhaps itself severly abridged and plagiarized by "The Void") would have made a cool finish, had it been giving a season-long arc, ENT S3-style. (Or, six eps at the very least.) Voyager gets sucked into a whole other dimension, makes enemies and allies, and encounters and defeats a threat to the whole galaxy, and in so doing, they get home, perhaps almost accidentally. Make it big and epic and very space opera-y. Doing an "Endgame" without the whole future stuff would have a similar effect, I guess, but perhaps too obvious.
Brannon Braga should have played the previously unseen crewman who was dating Seven in the final episodes.
They already did that earlier in the series, and all they got for it was critical panning.
^ You mean "The Void", which I referred to in that same paragraph, or another ep? Anyhow, as with everything, the measure of quality lies in the execution far more than the concept. If the show was determined to show the process of getting home via shortcut in the seventh year, rather than do a time jump to show them getting home more gradually, a bigger build-up/longer serialized arc than one self-contained two-parter would have been nice.
Is it possible it was panned because it wasn't done very well?
Considering other Trek series have gotten away with worse...not really.
