Say what you will. I loved this show from beginning to end. My mother and I always watched it together and it a source of much joy for us. We both cried when they got home.
Voyager holds a place in my heart as the first star trek series I ever watched from start to finish. Even tng I only watched out of order and in repeats. I caught every episode of this series as they were released.
I never understood why so many people disliked this show, from day one my wife and I loved it, collected all the seasons and must have watched it a hundred times afterwards. She passed away in 2014 and I haven't been able to watch any of out favorite movies or TV shows since, I guess I'll have to give it a shot again. I am 63, my mom and sister watched the original Star Trek when it first came out, there is no way to calculate how many times we all researched it over the years. My mom called Spock "ears" non of us liked TNG. Don't know why, probably saw all the episodes but just didn't care for it. Then Deep Space Nine came out...it was a so so show, a bit better than TNG and then Voyager came out and we were happy again. We all preferred Kes to Seven of Nine. She was a good looking woman but I never cared much for her personality. We watched all the movies with the original cast thru number 7 when TNG took over. Great films. I had high hopes for the new films but hated how they rewrote things. Chris Pine just can't hold a candle to Shatter. Love Karl Urban since his Xena days but him and Spock are the only ones who I can handle. I can barely remember Enterprise it's so forgettable. I hope a new series can come out one day that does justice to the name Star Trek. I know it's off topic but this reminds me of the situation with Dr Who. It was one of my favorite shows bit they had to much it up rewrite the past. I have no issue with a female Doctor but did not really like Whitaker and hate Chibnall and all he did. Hopefully one day I'll wake up and the world is back to normal
I wish they could have done one more episode about what happened to Voyager and her crew after they returned home and when Janeway was promoted to Admiral.
There are two books that sort of work as a good conclusion to the series, showing how the Dominion War changed the Federation, the difficulties of re-acclimating to working in Starfleet and setting up what could have been the follow up. They are Christie Golden's STV: Homecoming and the Farther Shore. There is a few more of these books that follow the events but these two are ment to serve almost like the true ending/epilogue of Voyager.
There is some canon outcomes. For instance, Seven tried to apply to the academy but was faced with anti-Borg bigotry. Janeway tried to intervene but the distaste was too great and so Seven became a vigilante.
@censorship sucks9 he wasn't a borg for as long as Seven was. I can see how this could play out with the ways that people do bigotry. Along the lines of darkness of skin colour ...
It's not clear in this vid, but that fleet contained two Defiants, a Prometheus and four or five Galaxies - ie. a whole lot of not fucking around. Nice to see Starfleet actually having some cover at Earth rather than the Enterprise being the only ship that can save the day.
That irritated me no end. I mean, how massive is the moniter at his end that he's having to look down to see him? 😂 Even on screen he wouldn't have to look down the much!
I'll say one thing Voyager sure knows how to make an entrance to the surprise of Admiral Paris and his people and the crews of those 18 ships that came to fight a Borg ship only to see one of their own come flying out of it in firey fashion and with a bang.
For all the flaws this finale has, that shot of Voyager rushing out of the cube and meeting up with the federation vessels is a real beauty. Like a lost cub who finally found his way back home, where his family has been waiting for him the entire time. Really evocative shot, if you ask me.
Even better, it actually had two endings. One good, and one better. The good one, with Admiral Janeway watching an anniversary of Voyager’s return, complete with fireworks as it flew under the Golden Gate Bridge…. And the better ending, this one shown here. Spectacular!
What would have made the ending better if there was a 5-10 minute bit at the end where you see the crew reunite with family and friends and holding a memorial service for the dead crew
I'll bet when Admiral Paris and his staff and the crews of those 18 starships were surprised seeing the borg sphere exploding but not only that seeing Voyager come flying out of the fireball now that is how to make an entrance.
I really hated that they just showed Voyager approaching earth with a few Starfleet ships around it only for a second or two, then faded out to credits. They should have allocated at least 10 seconds or so for a slow considerate view of finally seeing the ship get smaller towards earth. That's the way I would have done it.
Agreed but I always thought it would have been nice to have an episode showing them actually arriving home. Ceremonies and an idea of where they would go from there
I think everyone's idea of what that would be like would differ. Should they arrive home at Starfleet headquarters? Each of them arriving at their own homes? It sounds like you wanted a third act epilogue. It isn't like arriving home offers new opportunities - instead, returning home is a restorative thing. I didn't need to see them land or disembark.
The start of the episode kind of did that with the where they are now future them. But ya i would have liked to see something. A starfleet news report episode would have been pretty cool. Something along the lines of what they did with babylon 5.
I remember watching this show religiously with my siblings growing up and crying when they got home. Im 40 now but this what a part of my young years. Good memories
I'll bet the crews of those 18 Starships were just as surprised as Admiral Paris when the Borg Sphere started exploding and they were all probably shocked as heck when they saw one of they're own starships flying out of the fireball and when they realized it wasn't just any starship but it was a starship that they all heard was stranded in the Delta Quadrant and that ship was the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656.
You know what would have made this episode even more memorable is if the Enterprise was there when Voyager made it's explosive return home after destroying a Borg Sphere from the inside.
@Anthony Marks this is true. And as awesome as the original ship was, it would've been inferior to any ship waiting to battle the Borg in the 24th Century.
@Anthony Marks I'd say that was partly due to the Enterprise, and also Kirk. I would also agree the Enterprise was able to outclass other 23rd Century ships that were supposed to be superior, but ships in the 24th Century are a whole different story. Starfleet ships that have taken the strongest parts of what made the Enterprise great, then had almost 90 years to enhance them within their other ships. Then those ships have trouble fighting the Borg ships. I would have to say the biggest advantage the original Enterprise would have against a Borg ship is its smaller size, making it a harder target, and perhaps able to perform up close sneak attacks while the Borg are focused on the larger 24th Century ships
Probably out exploring somewhere. I am sure they had a Galaxy class ship in the fleet close to earth to help protect it if need be just not the flag ship.
I agree, I wanted to hear the word Home. it would have been better if he had said, Welcome Home. after all, Home is where they'd been trying to return to for 7 seasons
I time programmed the vhs recorder to auto turn on the tv, so i would not miss the last episode when it went on air. I was a child and did not even know the recorder could do this, i just read the instructions to desperately find a way.
Have watched the Voyager show twice in my life and now i have started the show a third time. Why !?. Because it have what many others dont have. The way to want you to watch more. 👍
Just read the other day with the success of Picard there is a big push to get the Voyager crew together and do a series after all these years. From my understanding if the script is good most of them are in. That would be awesome.
One of the reasons voyager never really endeared themselves with fans was they never really made us care about the characters. They built up the relationship between Jane who and seven, but they were going to kill off Harry Kim or Kes when they brought seven onboard. Someone said they never felt like they were stranded or didn’t have unlimited shuttle crafts. Anyone of the crew could have been killed and no one would have cared. I wish they would have made the black actor the first officer insisted of a Vulcan
They tried to address this early on, but somewhere later I think they dropped the concept completely for episodic stuff. It really is a shame, it would have gotten me interested.
I'm just glad they got home. I've heard that there was a chance they weren't going to. And for those curious about "what happened after", there's been an excellent series of novels.
I love watching 'Timeless' and Harry receiving a message from himself. Oh, and 'Doctor, Tenor, Soldier , Spy! 'The Doctor daydreaing, yet those same fantasies saved Voyager! "Tuvok, activate the Photonic Cannon ". Priceless.
I like how star trek design every different class of star ships with level of technology and how strong there ship are but I don't know why they changed uniform so much.
I’m glad to know they got home! In 2009 the television signals were changed, so we lost reception. Then we moved to Europe and couldn’t afford television. Sometimes I wondered how/ if it ended.
@@chamonix2602 the show originated in the 90s and ended in early 2000s, if you were watching in 2009 you were watching reruns It was on Netflix for awhile, now I think it's on cbs as they took most of the trek shows off Netflix unfortunately
@@chamonix2602 Yes, though I'm pretty sure that TNG, DS9, and Voyager are all 90s shows (though TNG started in the late 80s). The original series was the 60s, and currently there is Discovery, Picard, and Lower Decks...that's at least seven TV shows and I am probably forgetting some, it's a big franchise lol
@@mermaidismyname I saw the original when it first came out. Then most of TNG. Occasionally DS9, when I had a young family we enjoyed Voyager. I’m not sure how we could have stopped watching it, but it seems that at some point we didn’t see it.
Hello, CZcams of 15 years ago. Back when 240p was 'high definition'. Still a good moment from a decent enough show. Could have been better, but hey - at least it wasn't the final episode of Enterprise.
Everyone complaining about how the ending just...stopped with this scene. The show spent TWO EPISODES showing the epilogue of the return while Admiral Janeway prepares to subvert the past. We really don't need to see the "proper future" epilogue. I like the format since it allowed the narrative to end with a bang instead of a slow meandering towards the finish line. Both formats are fine, but it's rare to see this structure.
It amazes me how so much of star trek and voyager that they create so much pollution and metal that's littered around space. The latest ones are festooned with bit of exploding space craft.
They're all discussing war stories of the Delta Quadrant vs the Dominion, Seven suddenly stands up, draws out a phaser and shoots Janeway in the back. "Tuvix sends his regards."
man aftter how good star r trek picard season 3 is and the first season we need Star trek Janeway or Seven spoiler .....now that seven is the captain of the enterprise!!!!!
I hoped for a couple of episodes after they returned to the Alpha quadrant. Then again in all likelihood Voyager would have been been taken out of service for retrofit and the crew would have been put on shore for a while. -Personally, after all that I think I'd want to stay close to home!
a thorough debriefing for the entire crew. a full refit for the ship. promotions galore. there was a lot that would have happened. I'm glad the book series picked up right where this episode left off at
It'd have been great if they did a ds9/what you leave behind-style ending over a couple of episodes, allowing the crew to move on after the action is finished (and letting the finale be a bit longer)
Watch Picard Season 3...Voyager is in the Fleet Museum and makes a brief cameo in one of the episodes along with the Enterprise-A, Defiant, original Excelsior, the Klingon battle cruiser from Star Trek VI, and even the Bounty from Star Trek IV.
A shame that the Enterprise-E wasn't among the nearly 30 other starships when Voyager helped destroy the Borg sphere she was in after returning to the Alpha Quadrant.
@thisisrumorcontrol very true! With 7 seasons of anticipation of getting home... there are so many ways they could have shown reunions that any certain way may not be the right way; so they left it to the imaginations of the viewers :)
@johnni juul To be fair at the time 6 seasons is the norm for shows like these. Rather end the show on your own terms instead of having the cliffhanger like we got with Stargate: Universe because of cancelation for something new and fresh.
Voyager is in the conduit. Being chased by a Borg ship that is also in the conduit. The Borg ship is gaining on them and will intercept before the reach the desired exit near the Sol System. There's a branch turn ahead that they can reach that leads back to the Delta Quadrant. They adjust course. The Borg ship choses not to follow them and continues to the Sol exit, emerges from the conduit, exchanges fire with assembled Starfleet forces. Voyager that opens fire from inside the Borg ship, destroying it. ---- "We're right where we expected to be." ---- I love Star Trek and love Voyager, but that was some of the worst, lazy, schlocky, deus ex machina, nonsensical, unexplained resolution writing EVER.

Rememeber watching this on Sky One in 2001.

That irritated me no end. I mean, how massive is the moniter at his end that he's having to look down to see him? 😂 Even on screen he wouldn't have to look down the much!
They should have had the Admiral beam over, get greeted by Harry Kim, and escorted straight to sick bay to meet his granddaughter.
Never a more beautiful sight than home after having been away for a long time.

After becoming Locutus, Starfleet tended to try and keep Picard away from matters regarding the Borg.

Equinox. The way Janeway mishandled that told Starfleet to promote her to a desk job.
I hoped for a couple of episodes after they returned to the Alpha quadrant. Then again in all likelihood Voyager would have been been taken out of service for retrofit and the crew would have been put on shore for a while.
-Personally, after all that I think I'd want to stay close to home!
a thorough debriefing for the entire crew.
a full refit for the ship.
promotions galore.
there was a lot that would have happened.
I'm glad the book series picked up right where this episode left off at
It'd have been great if they did a ds9/what you leave behind-style ending over a couple of episodes, allowing the crew to move on after the action is finished (and letting the finale be a bit longer)
Retrofit, the crew made so many mods I'm sure it would be disassemble and thoroughly analyse. The ship is leaving the docks for years.
Watch Picard Season 3...Voyager is in the Fleet Museum and makes a brief cameo in one of the episodes along with the Enterprise-A, Defiant, original Excelsior, the Klingon battle cruiser from Star Trek VI, and even the Bounty from Star Trek IV.
Awesome finale
one hell of an entrance
I wish they would have made a couple of movies ...
The only thing I wanted was 10 more minutes for goodbyes and family hugs
All that future technology on voyager. Did they implement it on all spacecraft after they made it home?
I loved all 17 pixels of that
I muse that without the STAR TREKS we would be less humanistic!
This video was send through subspace as well..
wow 17 years ago..
Hell, theres a Borg coming through... Use all UnNeccessary force!
A shame that the Enterprise-E wasn't among the nearly 30 other starships when Voyager helped destroy the Borg sphere she was in after returning to the Alpha Quadrant.
Great series but could of had a better ending showing the voyager crew members congratulated
@Zorn27 That should have been the reply from Capt Janeway!
That's neat how the Voyager hid herself inside a Borg Sphere.
That was an ingenious plan, from an ingenious captain.
Headphone rip.
@thisisrumorcontrol very true! With 7 seasons of anticipation of getting home... there are so many ways they could have shown reunions that any certain way may not be the right way; so they left it to the imaginations of the viewers :)
Great show but man you thought maybe they would have been excited to be back.
1:00 is myu favorite I wish theyd shown them getting to earth (like landing ) and not just ending it but im glad they got home :)
TheDrowWarrior1 they have been lost for 75 ,000 light years alone that's 7 seasons
@johnni juul To be fair at the time 6 seasons is the norm for shows like these. Rather end the show on your own terms instead of having the cliffhanger like we got with Stargate: Universe because of cancelation for something new and fresh.
Voyager is in the conduit. Being chased by a Borg ship that is also in the conduit. The Borg ship is gaining on them and will intercept before the reach the desired exit near the Sol System. There's a branch turn ahead that they can reach that leads back to the Delta Quadrant. They adjust course. The Borg ship choses not to follow them and continues to the Sol exit, emerges from the conduit, exchanges fire with assembled Starfleet forces. Voyager that opens fire from inside the Borg ship, destroying it.

I love Star Trek and love Voyager, but that was some of the worst, lazy, schlocky, deus ex machina, nonsensical, unexplained resolution writing EVER.
Does the Prometheus count as 1 ship among the 18 ships or 3?
