I get it: Voyager was about Voyager’s voyage and there’s a strong case to be made that it ended exactly when it should have.
But on the other hand, every time I watch “Endgame” it strikes me how incredibly abrupt the actual ending feels. Do you think the show should have spent some time depicting the crew’s experiences of arriving home?
my gut reaction was: absolutely not, the show was about the journey, not some schlocky wrap-up where everyone hugs their family and dogs and whatnot.
edited to add: the part i liked was that they were their family - and my gut says that it would cheapen the ship relationships by bringing everyone right back to where they were 5 years ago. end edit
but you’re right, i think, that the ending really was kinda abrupt - “so nice to see everyone,” borg go boom, end of 7 seasons.
in retrospect, i’ve seen trek do some good homecoming episodes, so maybe a final close out ala picard’s season finale wouldn’t have been so bad - a nice group goodbye after 150+ episodes.
