Yes, and it's been announced that Kirsten is writing the follow-up too.
Kirsten, I suppose it's waaaay too soon to be asking questions like, "will Tuvok and Seven re-join the Voyager crew?" Personally, in the case of Tuvok at least, I kind of like him on Titan, so I hope not.
On the other side of the coin, there is also the question of "what will happen to the Doctor?" to consider. I like Kaz and would like him to stay on Voyager as CMO, but obviously there won't be room for both of them on board.

...from a pure storytelling point of view, there are really only a couple of choices. Once she's off the ship we either have to give her a compelling story line apart from the adventures of the rest of the crew, or we have to allow her to fade into the background...
I can't imagine any of the characters who are no longer on Voyager going to back to serve on it really. Janeway, if resurrected at some point, would presumably still be an admiral (who was starting to really enjoy the job too), Tuvok has it good on the Titan, and Seven and the Doctor both have good positions elsewhere in Starfleet.
Well, of course, in a collaborative fiction line, there are always going to be options left open. Well, usually. But that doesn't guarantee they'll be taken. Heck, canonical Trek could have easily resurrected, say, Sito Jaxa or Geordi's mother, but it never did. It did resurrect Tasha Yar, but only temporarily, and then brought Denise Crosby back as the most ill-conceived villain ever rather than doing more with Tasha.
So just because Janeway could potentially be brought back doesn't mean she will be. It just means she's a fictional character who died in an SF universe -- every such character has the potential to be resurrected.
And, neither Sito or Silva La Forge are technically dead. they are presumed deceased. Or were the crew of Voyager dead until "Message in a Bottle?"
That is very true, although La Forge being alive after all that time missing would be a stretch. Sito though? yeah i can buy her being a prisoner all through the dominion war and then some hidden prisoner camp full of POW found somewhere in a system in cardassian space not checked before....
Yar was NOT resurrected. An alternate timeline version of her was seen to be alive in that alternate timeline.
And, neither Sito or Silva La Forge are technically dead. they are presumed deceased.
My point is that even if a character's death is not certain, it's still possible that the character will never be brought back.
"Oh, why would you want to go back to being one of those squishy, limited little flesh-and-blood things, Kathy? More importantly, why would I want to waste the effort on some tawdry little miracle just so you can have a cup of coffee again? You'll just die again in a few decades anyway -- the blink of an eye to a Q. So why should I inconvenience myself with something so temporary and pointless?"![]()
The crew we had at the end of Spirit Walk has plenty of potential in it -
This just in: The Never Ending Sacrifice has been retitled They Saved Dukat's BrainMy point is that even if a character's death is not certain, it's still possible that the character will never be brought back.
Splitting hairs. Regardless of the in-universe excuse, in story terms the character was still brought back to life, the actress still brought back as a character who had been dead.
You're making my point for me. People here are claiming that Janeway isn't "really dead" because she was shown to be at least spiritually intact with Lady Q. My point is that even if a character's death is not certain, it's still possible that the character will never be brought back.
Not really comparable. If it wasn't for the Internet, would anyone know or even care about the aeroshuttle?I understand that. But leaving that back door open also leaves the permanentness of her death in doubt. (Which, since that's what such a back door would be designed to allow, isn't exactly unexpected.)
Do the writers/editors intend to use it? Kirsten says no, and I have no reason to disbelieve her. But that doesn't change the fact that it's there.
The Aeroshuttle was there on the Voyager miniature/CG model, but it never once got used or even mentioned in seven years.)

Except for Astall the counselor. The only potential she has is to be assimilated by the Borg so that the Borg can cry themselves to death...![]()
