Eh... tbh, I don't think so. The silence of space with Earth just a few minutes away was perfect. They had 7 years of battles and explosions and anarchy. It ended with a calm reunion and a shocked crew that actually made it. To me, the series was about them being trapped in the delta quadrant. Once they were home, the series is over. A celebration wouldn't have added to the story. However, they did give us a taste of what that celebration looked like at the start. Even though history was changed, I'm sure it was still pretty similar.

Perhaps the first time in Trek history that "every ship in range" of Earth included more than one ship (and that wasn't Enterprise).

[@22steve5150]

and even then, it still seems to be a woefully small number of ships given that Earth is the political and administrative capital of the Federation, not to mention 2 or 3 of the largest shipyards in the Federation are in the Sol System. Hundreds of worlds, presumably tens of thousands of ships, and 18 is what they got, which is 18 times more than they usually have.

[@Trusteft]

SOL was not a frontier world. What would be the point of having a whole fleet next to it at all times?

[@brch2]

Earth is the capital of the Federation... it seems like they'd have had more defenses all the times that "Enterprise is the only ship in range". Frankly though, I think having nearly 20 rounded up in the scene above was a vast improvement, and a good number to have available to defend the planet within minutes notice.

[@Trusteft]

I don't disagree than not having any ship nearby is a bit absurd, but on the other hand even having 20 seems too many. Anyway.

[@brch2]

Their fleet was significantly larger at that point than throughout most of Star Trek, due to the build up of the Dominion War. That is probably why they had more ships near Earth, because they had more ships... meaning more ships that would be in dock between missions, and maybe more ships still assigned to the Sol System because of how beaten and battered they had been from the war. They'd want more ships around Earth, until they were certain the threat of the Dominion (and any species willing to take advantage of their post war condition) was entirely subsided.

The temporal prime directive says you aren't allowed to talk with people in the past about the future. She isn't violating the temporal prime directive personally by stating that her from an alternate future stopped by and upgraded the ship. Keep in mind the EMH makes full use of 29th century tech and Starfleet is aware of that. If her report violated the Temporal Prime Directive so would that.

[@shauntempley9757]

@@helenahayes6150 Yes, she did. However, Admiral Janeway gets home in the timeline where First Contact never occurred. Because that film happened it caused two possible futures: either Voyager gets home in that moment, or the Borg launch a full invasion of the Federation with hundreds of ships, totally destroying them. It was a shifting time line because of the Borg attempting to stop Cochrane. It was why Q said in a far earlier episode that Starfleet in the Delta Quadrant was 100 years too early. He did not actually know why that shifted up. Their presence also caused a number of temporal interactions, like the Annorax. Time shifting between those two outcomes was why Voyager had such a massively rough time where she was at the point of being destroyed over those 7 years, or escaping an incident fully intact.

I really wish that they had given the show 1, maybe 2, more episodes. Just as a sort of epilogue to show how the crew was received back home, saw their families, etc.. It would have been a nice touch after seven seasons.

[@solidicone]

I get that sentiment but naw... that sort of stuff just sort of drags it out. Sometimes just giving us that sort of ending is enough, its up to us to figure out how our own interpretations of the characters continued onwards. I imagine chakotay and they other makee had quite the debriefing to go through very shortly after they arrived. I'd imagine that all of them would of gotten a full pardon after reading through everything they had done to help voyager get home. We already sort of know how 7 of 9 ended up with the picard series, still it would of been interesting to see how starfleet would of greeted her and the massive amount of vouching janeway would of had to of done on her behalf. Most interestingly I would of liked to of seen how the doctor fared. Him being basically the first truly sentient hologram (aside from Moriarty). I'm sure his debriefing at starfleet medical would of been really interesting. Tuvok going back home to his family I imagine is exactly as it you would think it would of played out though I darsay that tuvok might of picked up a couple of bad habits from neelix and shown just a small hint of emotion. Janeway herself giving a full debriefing, she probably had to answer a whole boat load of questions with all the close calls with the prime directive she had as well as the omega particle situation that she allowed her crew to help her with, not to mention the plethora of reports on hostile species they came across. God and the level of technology they brought back to the alpha quadrant.

@@solidicone- I agree with you - I imagine, too, that the Maqui get a full pardon, and some of them accept positions in Starfleet. I've watched this clip a bunch of times, but I wonder now that Janeway and crew is back 16 years earlier, what if Adm. Janeway doesn't depart to the Delta quadrant in the past? Is there a paradox here? I guess the Borg network got destroyed in the present, so even if Adm Janeway doesn't return in the future...?

@@solidicone I think it would've been great to see this episode go on for like an extra 15-30 mins and show what happened to the Voyager crew after they returned to earth. Maybe a flash forward to 5-10 years where they show what each crew member moved on to doing when they returned to the Alpha quadrant. The way they ended it was far too abrupt in comparison to how TNG and DS9 ended with their finales which gave the audience more of a chance to see what happened to their favorite characters and to say goodbye to them. With Voyager its we made it back, set a course for earth and roll end credits.

[@KnowTrentTimoy]

You're absolutely CORRECT! To end the series like this was like a slap in the face of the fans. One more season (even a short one) would've sufficed to see their transitions back to life in the alpha quardrant. Did Harry finally get promoted to AT LEAST Lt Cmdr (on his way towards the Captaincy) and get reassigned to another starship? Did Chakotay marry 7 and settle on Earth and teach at Starfleet academy? Was Janeway promoted to Admiral right away? What happened to Voyager? Was it decommissioned and turned into a museum (like future Admiral Janeway stated) overlooking the Presidio in San Francisco? Did Belana and Tom settle down on Earth and possibly have more children? Did the Doctor go on to write any books and invent magnificent medical breakthroughs? Did Tuvok get that reunion with his wife and kids and get cured from his illness? How did Admiral Paris feel about having a (mostly human) but part grand daughter of Klingon heritage?

[@ShnehansuRajBaruah]

Deadpool that's cause this transwarp conduit was only a lightyear away from Earth. It makes sense that there would be more ships to defend the seat of the Federation. Plus the Enterprise was mostly on deep space mission which would mean it would mostly be the only ship in the region.

[@pacetti07]

Deadpool If you're referring to the Galaxy class ship being the ENTERPRISE-D you're actually mistaken. The events of this series ender take place several years after the end of TNG, and after the events of the movie STAR TREK: GENERATIONS. In that movie the ENTERPRISE-D was destroyed in a spectacular crash. The destruction of the ENTERPRISE-D is the main reason why Worf was assigned to DEEP SPACE NINE during the Dominion War. Based on the time line of the series, and movies before VOYAGERS series finale at the time on VOYAGERS return in this episode the ENTERPRISE-E Sovereign class was commissioned, and already an important part of Star Fleet.

I was thinking Janeway's report, its likely to be the longest report in Star Fleet history, because its seven years worth of travelling and information and likely to take many days to review and I suspect the heads of Star Fleet would be questioning her directly along with the senior officers of the ship while those under them would likely get promotions to the next rank after all they been through while those who died in service of Star Fleet would get promotions as well as their remains reunited with their loved ones. Of course, the media of this era would likely quickly reporting on the Borg sudden reappearance and destruction of their ship along with the return of the lost ship Voyager

[@gauthier1129]

Most memorable series, loved Janeway

[@deathhero9120]

One of the things that I do like about this ending is the symbolism it had: The death of Admiral Janeway, the Borg queen and the Borg sphere, symbolizes the end of an agonizing and hard journey for Voyager and its crew during the delta quadrant for return to home, and the birth of Tom and B'Elanna's baby on alpha quadrant, symbolizes the new hope of the successful return home. Seeing the Borg ship emerge from the transwarp hub, and be destroyed by the Voyager, is like symbolizing that the baby came out of her mother's womb unharmed by death. It´s like a metaphor of hope in the midst of life's most difficult situations, it´s like the beginning of a new life after having lost a lot, it´s a gift of joy in the midst of suffering, it´s the optimistic vision of the classic Star Trek, after all. I was also pleased to see the well-deserved respect that Voyager was given in the midst of the other Federation ships that escorted her at the end. I have to admit that I expected a much better ending, with scenes of each of the characters returning home, even showing the members of the Federation welcoming the entire Voyager crew without any discrimination (regardless of whether they are Maquis or a human Borg, so that the message of hope and reconciliation is not lost, which ultimately represents this end). Anyway, I really liked this show, no matter how many others hate it. SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH.
