- The impossible happened as Voyager cut her 70 year journey back home to only 7 years. I remember watching this at a Trek convention ahead of the public. And when she got home I could feel the emotion in the room. That's Star Trek and new Trek doesn't give you that feeling anymore.

“Tuvok, have you found us a way through this mess?”
“WE AINT FOUND SHIT!”
He's never gonna live that one down...
I really wish they extended the triumphant arrival a little longer. An epilogue of sorts. I really wanted to see the hero's welcome that the Voyager crew deserved .... AND for them to actually meet Reg Barclay in person!
Play Star Trek: Elite Force II. Part of your wishes will be fulfilled.
That'll be in her report
EVERYONE should meet Reginald Barclay. The man is a Starfleet legend.
A parade into the city and out the other side..the story of my life...yours very truly Alfonso Cantu USMC
The only freaking instance Starfleet actually had more than just ONE ship near Earth, or in the entire sector. Chapeau.
It wasn't long after the Dominion war, so it make sense that Earth would keep a heavy defensive in place for a while.
It only took them a full century to learn that lesson!
Janeway "Mr Tuvok. Implement Plan Retribution"
Yes Captain. Turns a phaser on Chakotay
"Admiral, I have captured and return with the Marquis traitors, as promised."
😂
@@lonnybush5612Works for me. I never liked Chakotay. I never fully trusted his motives for joining Voyager as the First Officer.
"itll all be in my report" fails to mention just how long the damn thing will be
Very good point 🤣
Itll all be in the ships log 😊
@@richards4986
rando ensign "sir ships official log has started downloading"
Admrl "what do you mean started"
ensign "sir its 9 exabytes large, its going to take hours"
Admrl "what"
probably
Plus the Captain still had to "Face to music at home" because the Doctor filed an official complaint in his log.
@@Snowwie88 what was the complaint?
This just left us hanging.
It should have had an epilogue movie starting with the actual docking of the ship and running thru check in, Marque trials, family reunions, reassignments, etc.
What Maquis trial? They're all gone - wiped out by the Dominion. All charges gone because they're in Starfleet now. We know what happened to Seven and Janeway is an admiral.
@@ulphil08 What happened to Seven?
In the original timeline before admiral Janeway went back and changed things, Seven died but we don’t know why. Thankfully admiral Janeway did go back in time and we now get Seven in Picard and maybe Legacy?!
there are post voyager novels, but yeah after prodigy many of the contents in the books doesn't make sense anymore.
Janeway heads to her Ready Room, going through the report of the latest events and files it away. Meanwhile Voyager’s systems contact Starfleet and the Ship’s Logs and Crew Report backlog is cleared. These are filtered and any relevant logs are forwarded to various departments automatically as flagged by the system. One system flag is immediately forwarded to High Command - that the Omega Directive had been triggered, but all logs had been deleted. Admiral Paris is made aware of this, and informs Janeway to meet in San Francisco for debrief while the crew remains aboard. By the time she beams to HQ, Paris had already reviewed the report about their arrival, and is more interested in what happened with Omega. She tells the story, including that the Bridge Crew and 7 of 9 were made aware of the Omega Directive. This then becomes the first subject of each crew member’s debriefs, to ensure the secrecy remains. Oddly, this debrief the first thing that gets Starfleet to be against 7 of 9 joining Starfleet…
As tough and stoic as Janeway was, I would have loved a tear in her eye as she gave the command to set a course for "home". With all that the crew went through, wouldn't you break down too?
Baby had the longest birth in history. Took about 50,000 light years.
yeah right!!! real world babies can take hours even days sometimes to be born so that baby didn't take to long to be born
"Lt, place of birth of your daughter?", "Well, let's start in the Delta Quadrant, and then...."
You know why you get all teary eyed, cause inside you there's a longing you can't explain...'You want to go home.
To bad the ending wasn't longer. Mabye a celebration or a parade . All that trouble to get there for a 1 minute ending ?
It was rushed because the producers were already keen to move onto the other projects waiting in the wings. Voyager in its final episodes, especially the final moments became something to just 'get out of the way and finish'. Its disappointing, because it feels so lacklustre. Even when I saw in on the day it aired back in 2001, I remember thinking "Oh, is that it?" I was 16 then, now I'm 39. Ouch 😂😂
@bobpage6597 the age thing, oh yeah, totally get that 😂
Yeah I could get behind that 😎
*too.
To save us the scene of Starfleet Command going over the ships records and dishonorably discharging most the crew, arresting the rest.
I know i am in the minority, but i really loved the finale. It just felt just right to me. I tear up every time when i watch this scene.
Same, it wasn’t perfect but I loved it
@@thetrekway I don't know what people want extra of. The Maquis crew, obviously pardoned. They stepped up in their time of the delta quadrant, all their maquis friends are gone thanks to the Dominion, etc. Tom and Belanna likely just went on to lead normal lives. We knew Janeway got promoted, and we can pretty accurately speculate what happened to the rest. I feel like any more elaboration would have felt cheap with a few exceptions.
@@02ujtb00626 I would like to see a show now what 10 years later with Harry Now in Captain of Voyager and a new series getting back to what STNG was about without all the DEI woke crap. But a show exploring aspects of humanity and what it means to be Human/ the Human Condition. Voyager patrolling a different "Unexplored" sector.
It just needed a 10 minute celebration scene. An Tuvok making a video to tell Neelix they made it.
@@DavidKnowles0 exactly! I love the Tuvok idea!
I've never been able to comprehend what happens here. Seven says there's an aperture, but that it heads back to the Delta Quadrant, then Janeway tells Tom to adjust the heading, so at that point we're all assuming they're going to emerge back where they came from at the other side of the galaxy. But then a few moments later Voyager either blows up the Borg sphere from inside it or from right behind it. I've always assumed that it was behind it because how could they be INSIDE it?
My theory (and it's probably wrong) is that they make towards the Delta Quadrant aperture, then immediately turn around (somehow!) and instead of being chased, they become the chasers and pursue the sphere to the Alpha Quadrant. It's really annoyed me that I've never been able to understand what actually happened. Maybe I'm just too dumb or perhaps there was another explanatory scene that got excised during editing. I'm interested to be enlightened, so feel free to do so.
All the info you need is in the clip. Transwarp conduits have multiple exit points. The one that Barclay reports forming less than a light year from Earth is the one they are heading to. When 7 of 9 reports on the nearest aperture leading back to the Delta quadrant, that's just the nearest aperture to where they are at that moment in time, not the Earth aperture they are headed towards. They couldn't stay ahead of the Borg ship, so Captain Janeway allowed it to take them in, waiting until the Borg ship cleared the final aperture less than a light year from Earth before using the advanced weaponry that Admiral Janeway had given them to blow their way out.
I have felt the very same way about it since 2001. The ending scene was very poorly written.
@@Ge1Ri4 Even if all of that is true, that leaves way too much to be assumed by the viewer.
Janeway asks Paris to prepare to set course for that Delta Quadrant aperture.
Prepare. Not to actually change the course. Just to have it locked in ready to go.
Great theory. This always bugged me.
I would have liked to see the admiral meet his grandchild
meh that would have been to sappy this is star trek after all they do have limits on that stuff🤣🤣
Get me teary eyed every time😢
"Set a course... for home."
.3 seconds later
"OK we're there"
Right in Ensign Kim's parents living room.
And to think, the only reason they arrived in the alpha quadrant at all was because Quantum Leap’s ending was so poorly received by audiences.
I hated that finale. Were the writers here planning on ending the show with them still in the Delta quadrant?
I hope Harry finally got his promotion. Poor sod.
Haha indeed
Nope still an ensign too this day
He probably gave his credentials to Quark in Caretaker and had his identity stolen, convicted of numerous crimes, then completely erased so Starfleet's systems don't even know he exists anymore while he's somehow wanted across half the Alpha and Beta quadrants for fraud while all the paperwork for his promotions just vanishes into nothingness when it can't find his file.
Was bullshit to cut off Starfleet HQ right before Admiral Paris' granddaughter was born.
A series ending worth remembering.
They could have made another episode after this one! This ending let the whole show down badly for me.
Such a great finale
Needs to be a follow up tv movie charting there return
Anyone get the feeling this episode had 2 ways of going. Like not being sure if the series was cancelled yet at the time of writing and filming? Clearly return to the Delta Quadrant was a possibility and maybe 2 versions of the script were written.
At least they didn't get the "Course: Oblivion" ending... The writers had to have been so checked out at this point that at least one of them had to be considering the ship just shattering at the last moment right in front of Starfleet's eyes.
Set a course... for home 😢
😍
What's strange is they never addressed how the new future tech affected Starfleet. They have tech from decades of combat in the Delta Quadrant and fighting the Borg. That would give Starfleet an extreme advantage over all other major powers.
Just awesome!
I would've liked to seen a lot more emotion on their arrival, at least a breaking someone's voice or a trembling lip. I mean, it made me cry.
That's going to be one hell of a report for Starfleet leadership to read.
I wish they'd timestamp things so we have a sense of how long it takes for all this to happen. I mean according to this clip 18 ships got to within 1LY of Earth in under a minute. Thaaaaat's pretty silly even by ST standards.
And yes I'm aware that at warp 9 it would take seconds to travel 1LY, but it still takes time to relay the orders, find the ships, call general quarters (or Red Alert in ST), etc.
Voyager - let's do the BORG but with a sphere!! BRILLANT!!
Was it _First Contact_ or _TNG_ who did it first? _Voyager_ merely followed precedent.
Not sure. First contact they destroyed the sphere firing at the launch complex. Did it happen in TNG?
The first Sphere was First contact movie Voyager introduced Borg tactical cube and the Queen diamond, probe , and Unicomplex .
Harry really got the short end on that journey. They could have at least promoted him once before the show even ended.
Given that Harry had no character development whatsoever, why promote him? The man never grew up.
Compare this to Nog, the snivelling teenager who served Harry drinks on Deep Space Nine. When Voyager returns seven years later, Nog is a decorated war hero, a trailblazer. His example eventually leads to the Ferengi joining the Federation.
He outranks Harry when Voyager returns. Worse, he deserves to outrank Harry.
@@Cailus3542 Harry had a few episodes that would qualify him for a promotion. At the end of one he is in Command of the Bridge on the night shift. I hated Nog and still do. Deep Space Nine spent way too many episodes on Non Federation characters that I had absolutely no interest in. None. Nog was one of them and his dumb father and every Ferengi centered episode for that matter.
@@spartanx169x Some of the Ferengi episodes were good for comic relief. The thing that I couldn't stand about Nog was how seriously he started taking himself after being a total goof-off in the beginning. I wanted Jake to tap Nog on the shoulder, and tell him, "Hey, I remember you back when..." just to make Nog shut up a while.
Best scene in all of Star Trek IMHO
I was hoping voyager would appear at deep space nine at the end
If there were to be an epilogue, it would be the arrival of the time ship Relativity showing up and putting Voyager back in the Delta quadrant because Captain Janeway’s future self (Admiral Janeway) altered history. Curious on why Relativity did not show up after Harry Kim and Chakotay altered history when Voyager and all hands died after crashing on an ice planet while engaging the experimental “slip-stream” drive.
Amen😊
I think this ranks among the best season finales in sci-fi history (Battlestar Galactica is my top pick). It would have been absolutely perfect if Admiral Paris had still been on the view screen when Tom got the call from sick bay about B'Elanna giving birth.
Imagine spending 7 seasons trying to get back to Earth and we spend exactly 60 seconds there.
what episode is this one?
I feel that the ending was certainly anticlimactic and there was more to come. It left me hanging....😠😠
I would love to see the look on their faces when Star Fleet meets Seven of 9 😮😅
Would have been good to see Chakotay return in later star trek episodes.
In the nearly 25 years since the ending, it's too bad they never did a Voyager movie to show where the characters have gone.
Only a few mentions in other Star Trek shows. Belana, Tom, Kim, Tuvok, Chakotay, Seven and can't forget the Doc.
Question ... has there ever been a mention as to why or how Chakotay and Seven didn't work out? Those last few episodes, they seem to be getting close.
Seven finds out Chakotay is a fake Native American who's traditions and culture is completely made up. She dumps him.
Chakotay should have been with Janeway, not Seven. Seven and Harry should have been together.
This should have CC enabled.
💯 agree.
I remember being totally disappointed by the ending... After years and years, that was such a FAIL
"it" finally arrives home.
No cheering, no tears of joy, no nothing after all that time from home. A duh ending.
The borg had a conduit this whole time and never attacked hmmm
Could have been so much better instead of being over so quickly
This was a very big let down for me, Because it should have been longer and showed there reunion, we just watched 7 seasons of Voyager and I felt the fans got cheated. this is the episode that made me wish I never started the series. It was my favorite of all Star Trek until the end game, now I only watch Deep Space 9
The only thing with this ending is the effing time travel.. I would have loved for them to have spent the last 8 episodes of this season bolting on borg bits to their ship so they could use the damn transwarp conduit with the last 2 episodes being an epic battle to get through the transwarp field and go home, but that isn't what we got. Fucking hate time travel ex machina
So confused. I don't understand, did the borg ship eat them?
I believe Voyager managed to get INSIDE the Borg Sphere but were not assimilated due to new technology upgrades by Admiral Janeway. They then fired all weapon inside the Borg Sphere to destroy it once it reached the Alpha Quadrant, while piggy backing the ride through the transwarp conduit.
I always wondered that too. I just have to imagine that voyager was swallowed by the sphere and then somewhere inside they fired the torpedo. They did a bad job of conveying this. It’s almost as if they ran out of time or money and had to cut it out.
If you stayed Ensign all that time - They must have not thought you were that good.
There was no real point to promotions. Duties/assignments could not change unless someone died. You promote everyone to lieutenants, then you have no grunts to do the work. You give a promotion without getting new duties, then its just pandering lip service. Nothing like getting a "Promotion" without getting raise with it. Its a smack in the face. When they got back. They could recommend quite a few for promotion based on their service Records.
I still find it cool that Janeway's last words in the premiere episode became the final words of the _entire series:_
"Set a course... _FOR HOME!"_
I think they used phase shifting cloak technology and phase into the borg sphere like the USS Pegasus did in TNG. That's why they were able to hide without the borg even knowing.
We're forced to come up with theories like that one because the writing was so unforgivably bad in the final scene of the series. Disgraceful.
Hi. 7 😁🖖
I start 471
The piss poor ensign who never got promoted 😂
She made it home got scrapped 😂😂😂
You cut the video off seconds before the actual end!?!?!?! Why??
End credit appear on screen
@@thetrekway Is it a copyright thing?
@Andylee-yy8uc possibly, don’t want to risk it but it looks even crappier with the subtitles there. Sorry, hope you still liked the clip all the same
@@thetrekway Yes. Superb series and a great ending. 👍
I remember this ending, I was so sad that it didn’t last longer. I was hoping that the admiral would beam on board Voyager to meet his grandchild. And Barkley would get to meet the crew in person for the first time.
What always annoyed me about this entire ending was just how non-nonchalantly they were talking. Like...."hey, I know we've been missing in action for years. But how about we grab a cup of coffee later on?"
No one cheering, no one ecstatic....just acting like it was a normal day. Total BS!!!
2 of 1
Un finale di merda, sbrigativo e affrettato meritava di meglio!
When Janeway said we are here, one of the crew should have shouted" HELL YEA"!
Maybe in James T Kirk's ship a crewman might've. I find pretty much most of the ST sequels in TV series very sterile and stiff jawed.
Is it just me or the Victory and home coming is a bit...empty...where is the yeah, woohh, we won, etc?
Disney should pick up there contract.
and truly f'd it?
That's some kinda dog what followed 'em home...
Guys does anyone know how is this guy next to adm Paris and Barclay. He shows up in couple of episodes
Do you mean the actor Richard Sarstedt. He usually does not get credited in most of his Star Trek appearances. He's classified as a background performer.
@@fturla___156 yes thats him thanks a lot i just red about him
@@saudinsubasic The other one, the female Admiral was Irina Davidoff. I cannot confirm that the cadet attending to Admiral Owen Paris is the actress Iris Bahr.
What’s ensign Broccoli , er Barclay, doing here? 😮 must have been promoted.
Seven seasons devoted to watching this show for a three-minute payoff in the end. I felt kind of cheated then and now.
First time they have a woman captain and she gets lost on the other side of the Galaxy.😜
Rick Berman was the worst thing to ever happen to Star Trek. He was the beginning of the end for a once great franchise
So, will Captain Janeway have to pay for Admiral Janeways CRIMES in altering the future ? ha ha
The most anticlimactic finale of all series. Enterprise’s finale does not count since it was a holodeck creation.
And no one said, "Thank God", or anything.
They were in front then they were behind - what a stupid plot.
Watch the whole episode and you'll get it. (Phase shifting cloak, so they could hide inside the Borg ship unnoticed.)
@@BurstupTV ...No. There was no "phase cloak" in the finale. It was never mentioned or implied.
@@BurstupTV I did watch the episode, both in 2001, and then two or three more times since then. That is a stupid plot point, leaving the viewer to have to figure out what happened; since they didn't tell you what happened.
