Synthetics Rebellion. But didn't the Doctor inspire one as well?

[Gingerbread Demon]

While Picard had a Synth rebellion possibly caused by hacking didn't Voyager's Doctor also inspire a rebellion from the ranks of Holograms in servitude? I got the impression all the stories and things he wrote in Voyager that got home stirred up some kind of rebellion among holograms.

When is the Doctor expected to return to Earth after Voyager?

We saw an EMH passing the Doc's book to another EMH, hinting that there might be a shift happening in the future. I don't recall anything beyond that?

That happened right at the end of the series. The Doctor gets back to Earth mere weeks* after that.

*It might push into being measured in months, I didn't double check.

OH OK I thought people said it would take years for him to arrive back at Earth

At that point they thought it would, it's not until the finale that they get one last big jump home.

Wasn't that just Voyager?

I thought the Doctor was arriving on his own but it wouldn't be for years later

How would he arrive on his own?

Are you perhaps thinking of the EMH copy from Living Witness? If so, that was hundreds of years later.

Yeah oops that's the one I was thinking about but for some silly reason thought Voyager had returned without the Doctor

You're probably thinking of the post-finale novels Homecoming and The Farther Shore by Christie Golden, in which there was a "holo-strike" engineered by a radical human adherent of the Doctor's activism. But that happened only in the novels, not in canon. Since "Endgame" concluded right after Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant and before it reached Earth, there was no canonical exploration of what happened afterward until Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Picard filled in some of the blanks.

Also, the novels' holo-strike storyline was kind of odd, because it seemed to assume that all holograms were sentient instead of just a rare few -- although that could've just been the radical character's delusion, because IIRC he was reprogramming the holograms to make them rebel. But the duology never clarified which it was.

And it's worth pointing out that the synths at Utopia Planitia didn't "rebel" either, since they were (also) nonsentient and were programmed to go crazy. It was perceived by the public as a synth rebellion, but in actual fact it was an act of sabotage by the Romulan Zhat Vash.

I mentioned that the synths were hacked.

I mixed up the EMH with the other one from the episode where he was in the future and thought that Voyager had returned home without the EMH and he was stranded in the future on his way home not for many years

I'm wondering if the "Living Witness" EMH revived in the 31st century is the one Robert Picardo is playing in upcoming the Starfleet Academy series set in the 32nd century.
