If you could rewrite Voyager

Since they wrote her so well, let's entertain that. Or would we go "man, more seven?!" Retitle: "Star Trek: Seven of Nine tertiary adjunct of Unimatrix zero one." Longest title ever!

Well, a Seven 2.0, somehow! ;-)
Maybe if you want your children to become suicidal...
Janeway would have ordered the triple Sevens recombined into one.
Then we would have had long threads about how Janeway "killed" two of the Sevens.
The
With way they are introduced at the beginning of season 5 but then shown later on in season 6. After a few jumps. I would have moved that episode from season 6 to season 5.
That's not a discrepancy. We have no idea how big Malon territory is. The first one we met had been using a wormhole to travel to their dumping spot.
They appear in Night, Extreme Risk, and Juggernaut...and as a hologram in Thinktank
I`m curious that no one would rewrite the J/C story.
There are two things I would rewrite
1.I would rewrite the end of "Rsolutions" and the relationship between J and C. I would put them together.
Ore
2. I would rewrite Seven/Chakotay- I would write a buildup over the last season and than they became a couple.

I think option 2 would make more sense, only because how many times Janeway said she would not benin a relatioship with anyone under her command.
I think C/7 could work if there was more foundation before Endgame. I thought they were pretty awesome in Human Error. Not so much Endgame unfortunately.
Of course I'm not trying to upset the J/C fans of which I was one until Workforce.
interesting plot synopsis.
She did. As well as several Braxtons
Apologies if I've already answered this. But just in case....
Serialize it: But not to the degree of modern shows, that have to be "binged." I would go for the DS9 style, that allows for both individual episodic stories and serialized ongoing arcs.
The Maquis stay in their Maquis uniforms until Season 4, when Voyager learns the Maquis are gone. Then dedicate a story arc to Chak's crew choosing to integrate into the Starfleet one, and eventually donning uniforms.
Pick a frakking tribe and do some actual research: Uhura was allowed to have a Swahili name and be (I think) Kenyan. She didn't have to be from a generic made-up culture to "represent" her entire continent. Keiko was allowed to be Japanese; she didn't need a made-up Asian name and a made-up country to "represent" all of Asia. Likewise, the Chuck should've been from one or two real tribes. I'm used to him being named Chaktoay, of course, but whatever.
Seven of Nine stays the same, but with more wardrobe variety, and modesty. I'll admit I love a few of her biosuits (the blue ones and the earth-brown one), but otherwise she could have some *slightly* less "painted on" clothing, like Kes or Troi. And eventually, she ends up in a green science uniform, and with the rank of Ensign.
"Human Error" happens for real, not on the holodeck; she and Chakotay have their relationship built up, with a big focus on Chak's down-to-earth and spiritual nature vs Seven's science based one.
Kes is FLAWED. She is heavily sheltered and naiive. Coming from a culture of underground telepaths, concepts as simple as privacy are alien to her. Also, because her life is so short, she experiences the passage of time more quickly than we do (think of almost a toned-down version of "Clock Stoppers").
Kes and Seven share all of Season 4, with Kes's transformation into an evolved being happening gradually alongside Seven's transition from the Collective to Voyager. Kes is one of Seven's first friends, and the first friend Seven has to say goodbye to, at the end of the season.
"Fury" is a two-parter, where Kes teams up with Seska after traveling back in time.
Recurring characters recur more often. Naomi Wildman is shown or mentioned in situations that would have a big affect on the kid onboard. Lon Suder doesn't die. The Delaney twins are developed as the only people besides Sam and Naomi who have family onboard, instead of just being regulated to "hot twins!"-gag.
Someone other than Tom is Kes's replacement in Sickbay! Sam Wildman (a xenobiologist and a mom), Tal Celes (who never fit into mainstream Starfleet), and/or Billy Telfer (the hypochondriac!) would all be good candidates.
Captain Janeway is Canadian, or was raised on an offworld colony. Or is from some other part of Earth, and just doesn't happen to have an accent. Because I'm tired of 90% of the important characters being American.
Combine characters?
I like all the "Voyager" regulars as they are, because I'm used to them that way. But reading about how the writers went about creating the cast, and how they struggled with having so many regulars to juggle, I wonder why some character ideas had to be mutually exclusive.
Neelix and Kes for instance. So you want a new Delta Quadruant alien who will be the ship's guide, but you also need to up the female count. Here's a crazy idea.... let the eccentric alien trader be female.
Human diversity: So you really want an Asian and a Native American in the main cast.... any reason the Captain or the cocky pilot couldn't be either of those?
And finally...
Gay characters. I'm not saying Chakotay and Paris need to have a passionate love session (not saying they shouldn't either...) but we all know the 1990s was when "Star Trek" should've been introducing its first gay characters. (And a Native American who wasn't a stereotype, and a female lead who wasn't dressed for Playboy.)

I like your passion.
Oh, I vote for our Captain being off world. I don't know if she'd pass Canadian. Maybe she could rock the subtle accent of the region she waswin. But instead they went with Indiana? She was way too fond of corn blowing in the winds. (After all that gorgeous space travel. Please.
