    basically a cut and paste of my post in the VOY forum...

     

    It was basically two hours of nonsense with a rushed resolution in the last two minutes and that's it... roll credits.

     

    There were so many issues that developed during the series the writers could have touched upon like:

     

    - the status of the Maquis crew members

    - the reaction of Seven arriving home

    - Kim and his parents

    - Paris and his father

    - Janeway possibly being court marshalled

    - so many other unfinished issues

     

    ...and no... I won't accept "well use your imagination. The writers left it open ended for us to figure out ourselves." Nope. Its just plain slack writing.

     

    So some more notes:

     

    1. The Borg.

    Throughout VOY the writers slowly transformed the Borg from hive mind scary to Cruella D'Ville clownish. The final "blow" being dealt in this episode. So many things don't make sense. By the way, can't the borg travel through time whenever they want to, and collect whatever goodies they like as depicted in other episodes? Ooops. I could soooo go on about this but I won't!

     

    2. Time travel.

    Why to this time? Why not back before VOY got into its mess in the first place? Why not use the technology that brought her back in time to go back home? Did anyone notice that plot hole?

     

    3. Seven and Chakotay hooking up.

    What the?!! Remember earlier on when Seven made a list of potential partners? Where was Chakotay then?

     

    4. Seven's humanisation.

    I couldn't help feeling that Seven's development was a little rushed in the episodes leading up the the finale. Plus, she seems to totally forget her knowledge about the borg when plot necessitates...

     

    5. Emotion.

    Apart from a slight hint of watery eye from Harry, we didn't get much of a chance to explore the emotion behind the crew's return. That would have been great to see. I mean.... 7 years. That is a lot of emotional build up right there.

     

    All in all... it just felt like the writers of VOY knew school was about to be out and made a final dash before running out VOY Senior Highschool doors for good.

     

    Don't get me wrong... I LOVE Voyager... I LOVE Janeway... I've loved most of the episodes and characters. I've become a big fan of Kate.

     

    Endgame however was totally disrespectful, in my opinion, to the spirit of Voyager.

     

    RIP VOY

    I've just finished watching the final episode of VOY and... WOW what a slap in the face.

    I would have to say the final episode.... only because I expected so much more from it and it left me depressed. There was so much potential to explore several issues with Voyager's return... but it was left open ended. The whole time travel thing didn't make much sense either. All in all... it kind of ruined the whole show for me :sniffle:

    Wow....that would've been weird.

     

    Though I'm sure that if she had gotten the role we'd think Kate Mulgrew would've been weird.

     

    Thats the thing... she DID get the role! They filmed with her a couple of days and it just didn't feel right for the producers so they brought in the runner up (Kate) and it was a perfect fit!

     

    Check out the youtube video:

     

     

    In the final scene with Janeway (I've done the side by side comparison!), they sill use footage of the old Janeway's hands and other shots.
