No movie, but semi-revival via new "streaming" shows...

[Admiral Jean-Luc Picard]

While we didn't get a movie, we did get an epic TV-movie finale that brought the series to an exciting close. TOS got 6 movies, TNG got 4 movies, VOY just got a TV-movie finale, no movie. Do you feel the Voyager easter eggs and characters sprinkled across the streaming shows makes up for "never got a movie?"

Streaming Trek (do not click if you want to be surprised!!!)

Spoiler

Voyager-J makes a few cameos in Discovery S3-5. Seven of Nine stars in Picard plus cameos from Icheb and Tuvok. Lower Decks has Tom Paris in an episode, a silent Tuvok cameo, and Harry Kim will be in the final season. Voyager itself pop up for a cameo in Picard and front and center in a Lower Decks episode. Prodigy S1 is a Voyager spin-off, and S2 is basically VOY S8. We got to see Janeway, Chakotay, the Doctor, and Voyager-A! Don't think there will be anything VOY in SNW given it's a straight prequel to TOS. Rumor has it The Doctor will be in the upcoming Starfleet Academy show.

You know, when I was in my late teens and both Deep Space Nine and then Voyager came to an end, I totally thought and almost expected, really, to see them continued on the big screen. Having been brought up with the original six movies and then the TNG outings just made it feel like the natural progression of things that ought to happen.

But now, over two decades later, looking back I’m not so sure that either Deep Space Nine nor Voyager would have really worked very well as movies. I just don’t see that they had the mass appeal that the original show and The Next Generation had. And I say that as a hardcore Niner for life and a reasonably big fan of Voyager.

Neither show really ended perfectly, in my opinion, but they were brought to a satisfactory enough close. People still bitch about “Endgame”, but I actually liked it rather well. The only thing I would have done differently was have at least a handful of scenes of the crew arriving on Earth, visiting their relatives etc. But other than that it was pure Voyager telemovie special event bliss.

With Deep Space Nine it’s more like they ended leaving you wanting more. There’s a number of open or semi-open story threads left hanging at the end. And as a younger fan I always thought there should come more to finish these stories. But now, years later and hopefully a little wiser, I feel like this was actually brilliant, because it allowed for the stories and characters to live on in my imagination.

I enjoyed Voyager receiving some love in form of callbacks in the various streaming Treks. But I’m not convinced a Voyager movie would have really been all that interesting. At the very least I’ve never come across any kind of interesting proposal for what a Voyager movie would have even been about. Another giant battle with the Borg?

Sorry for the rambling. I kind of got carried away.

When DS9 and VOY ended, DS9 was a hit for syndication, VOY was a hit for UPN, but neither show had going to the movies viewing numbers. This is why TNG's finale was open ended while DS9 & VOY got more conclusive endings. What would the VOY movie have been about? End the show with VOY still in the DQ, make the movie about Voyager's homecoming. If that's a hit, the sequels are the crew coming back together for X threat. Prodigy works pretty well as a direct follow up. Have you seen it?

At least Janeway appeared in a movie; Star Trek 10.

After DS9 failed to get a film I realised that they weren't going to give anyone else a turn until the TNG crew had finished their run, so I never expected to see a Voyager movie. I knew that the TNG films would continue the story of the 24th century until the next TV show appeared and picked up where Voyager had left off. But then every new series afterwards was a bloody prequel and we never got to see what happened when a ship full of Borg and future tech made it home from the other side of the galaxy!

So I'm really glad that Prodigy, Lower Decks and Picard have been bringing back characters and showing what happened next. It's just a shame it took 20 years.

My dad liked TNG, but not VOY, always talked crap about it. My mom and I would shush him out of the living room. We saw this at the theater, and I smiled like an idiot, because he had to sit through the scene.
