I've got every SG-1 and SGA episode on DVD. Number of Robert Duncan McNeil sightings: Zero.
Would you have liked a season 8?

Saquist
Commodore
Kirk, Spock, McCoy....
They were classics, Masters.
Voyager was a good Series but they didn't inspire 40 years of Sci Fi.
I doubt star trek did either.
It was the first 20 years of reruns that really did it.
7 year olds watching Kirk steal some aliens girlfriend on Saturday morning.
Or reruns at 2 am for stoned college students "Duuude his face is black and white, and the other guy's face is white and black... Wow! It's about USSSSSS... ".
Very few shows are an INSTANT success, and if they are, they're not struggling against cancellation the whole way.

I have to disagree.
I think all of the Trek Series (perhaps without Ent) will be classic. There are always "new" people who discover Trek.
Some prefer the older series and some like the newer one.
I`m confident that the most Trek series will have many fans in future and will be classic.
Cult classic or fringe classic isn't bog standard classic.
TNG + DS9 + VOY should be repackaged and rebranded as the same product under a single logo.
It would make syndication much easier and make buying the complete set of DVDs more impossible.
DVD's are just so fragile. They're never going to make it 5th hand like the vhs tapes.

Yes! I somehow totally forgot about the existence of the "other" Robert.
Apologies to KJbushway

By year 8, don't you think that the Producers who believe that sex is the only thing that their audience is interested that they would NEED to bring in someone younger and sexier in tighter clothing and with bigger boobs than Jeri Ryan.
The wheel turns.
The wheel turns.
I agree.
I think if there had been a s8, it would have given them a chance to create a story that showed their relationship building for it to be a little clearer as to why they were dating.
No because if if you couldn't pull a larger steadier audience from s1-7, then by s8 nothing you do is going to make them watch. Why waste the budget on bringing in one more cast member if the show is almost over. If you're going to do that, you might as well use it on CGI to bring back Species 8472.
New humans are coming of age all the time who have to rediscover what is good and what is bad for the first time... Audience retention is good, especially for a children's show like Voyager, but if the Producers easiest demographic was boys aged 7 to 14, that's a whole bunch of blank minds they could have imprinted onto at an early age and a 12 year old boy is not going to see much difference between a 30 year old Ryan and a 40 year Mulgrew.
Who were all the kids into back then?
What about Katie Holmes before she was kidnapped by that gnome?
Oh, and they had already proven with poor wee Jennifer that they are willing to cut existing staff to create new positions, and they might even save some cash... Oh yes. They already dumped Neelix. The killer bees had Ethan's Pay check to throw around anyway they wanted in the beginning of season 8.
Growth spurt.
Vanessa Branch made a lovely Naomi Wildman.

Gnome!
That's awesome!
...but no seriously, they would have know about an 8th season and re-negotiated actors contracts way before they got to filming "Homestead". Unless Philips wouldn't sign back on, he would be in s8 and "Homestead" would just get pushed back.
Season 8 would have saved us form Homestead?
Now that's a just cause.
Of course they would have only just changed the last 3 minutes.
Would he have dumped the girl?
Taken her with him or taken the whole colony aboard Voyager?
Afurther 60 to a hundred crew would have made Janeways mission so much easier and then she would have had a brand new generation of red shirts to throw against the opposition that as season 8 completes Neelix gets to ask his Captain "12 months ago there were 200 Talaxians aboard this ship. I'm the last one. Am I supposed to think that this isn't the result of a series of racist decisions on your part Kathryn? What did we ever do that made you think of my people as disposable?"

Yeah actually I am. Don't know how I got confused on that one.
You want to led some of those seasons out?
The story was over. What exactly would a Voyager movie be about anyway?
Endgame was the logical conclusion to the story started in Caretaker. I, for one, didn't need a season about their homecoming and lack of adventures in the Alpha Quadrant.
