What a disappointment!

[ria 75]

Every show ending tastes bitter, like finishing a really good book. That one was way too abrupt. Voyager blowing up upon arrival would have made no difference.
I forget the details, because I can't bring myself to seeing it again.
I prefer the ending of Enterprise in spite of Tucker's death and the overall disappointment of that final season. So, alternate ending for Voyager: Seven stays dead!

I didn't hate it. In many ways, it was in Voyager's best and worst tradition - shut your mind off, beer and popcorn fun. I really enjoyed the Queen vs Janeway dynamic, the effects were spectacular and it was just fun. I don't think it is up there with the show's best episodes, but nor was it one of the worst.

Endgame was not too bad. It had some bad elements of course, but it was very exciting, on the edge of your seat. The Borg are always exciting

I have to agree with most posters here. Endgame was so overrated and everyone thought "oh this is a big deal cause it's the season finale of Voyager..yada yada yada" I thought it was a BIG disappointment to a wonderful seven-year-run series. After the ending, I was thinking like Janet Jackson did in one of her songs..."That's the END?!" It just left so many of unanswered questions..like, for instance, what happened to the Maquis? Did Janeway get back with Mark? Did Chakotay go on with Seven? Better yet, WHAT HAPPENED TO EVERYONE?! I guess I'll just have to read the homecoming book series and find out. But yes, Endgame wasn't all what it was supposed to have been.

Did Janeway get back with Mark? Did Chakotay go on with Seven?

Mark had married so getting back together with him wasn't likely. Nor was C/7 making it until space dock.

I think it was decent for a finale, but I agree that I would liked to have seen more of the crew's time on earth after they returned, especially Seven and Janeway.

One of my issues with the finale is the Tuvok plot. It kept building like it was supposed to go somewhere. Like maybe his sickness was a key to something in the past. He kept writing stuff down that I was hoping was going to be part of the plot. But no it was just there to fill up time and say "look Tuvok is crazy in the future."

 

[Jeri]

The resolution of the Tuvok side plot is that with the shorter journey, he does not go crazy in the future. He gets help in time.

 

[JoeD80]

Well that is true but I was mostly referring to how the episode seemed to play on what he was writing, and that it might be a clue to something, but it wasn't.

 

[Jeri]

Yeah; I didn't think the writing meant anything, since I felt the point of his side plot was to save Tuvok before this madness occurred. It had to be time travel for that to happen.

Yeah..forgot about that one. I was born blonde in another life.

Kind of OT: I was watching "Author, Author" on Spike yesterday, and I noted that with Kathryn's three-minute communications chip, she intended to use it to call her mother.

So, I guess her mom is still alive in Indiana? (I haven't got past halfway through Homecoming yet.)

 

[Koinek]

insulting to the fan's intelligence,

No. That's just silly.

Endgame was fine. It had Borg, time travel, kewl splosions, armored Voyager. It pretty much summed up what Voyager became. The reunions with family I never wanted to see anyway. I would have rather they stayed in the DQ.

Also don't forget: Two Janeways.

I'm serious, it was nice little shout to the Janeway fans.

I felt Voyager's premise wasn't used to it's full potentental throughout the series, but god, even a show like that deserves better than the cliche storm that was Endgame. At least, unlike These Are the Voyages, it was actually about the series' characters. I wanted to see what happened to everyone after they got back in the present, for instance. I know Janeway's a admiral, but what about the Doctor? The Maquis (remember, they're still wanted criminals, but most of the other Maquis are dead/captured)? Seven of Nine? TNG was the only Trek series will a fully satisfying finale, and VI if you count that as the 'finale' of the TOS era.

^^
I agree about the final TNG episode "All Good Things". That episode was a good end episode while "Endgame" was just a big dissapointment.

If you buy "Mosaic" and "Pathways" as canon Janeway has a mother and a sister (Phoebe) alive in the alpha quadrant. Her father was killed in the same shuttle crash as her first fiance Justin Tighe. Janeway was the only survivor of that crash.

I did read "Mosaic" and "Pathways" (excellent reads); but I was wondering if Kathryn saw her mother in "Homecoming," after that line of dialog...

I guess I just assume she did but they didn't show it along with many of the other conversations with home.

 

[Lt_Wandrey]

I both liked and disliked the series finale. It had some good action but at the same time I felt parts were rushed or not written to their full potential.

I rather enjoyed the book Mosaic.

Endgame was disapointing. The finale should have gone like this:

Voyager gets home in the first 2 mintues. After arriving at spacedock, the crew is greeted by a contingent of Starfleet security who proceeds to throw Chakotay, Tom, Torres, and the rest of the Maquis in prison (just because the crew forgave and forgot, didn't mean Starfleet was going to), send Seven to a lab for dissection in order to find a defense against the Borg once and for all, and rip the doctor out of sickbay and send his program back to the lab to check out his improvements. All this on top of VOYAGER being impounded for study after seven years in an alien quadrant.

Then, Janeway, Harry and Tuvok spend the next 2 hours trying to get their friends out, and their ship back.

That would have made a better episode than what we got.
