Where's Suder's funeral?
Come on!? He saved the entire ship and Voyager mission to get home --- this man at least deserves an inspiring Janeway speech on the honor of self sacrifice and overcoming obstacles.
I am pretty sure those Kazon jerks would have used the Voyager crew as slave labor but we did get to have some space dinosaur adventures on the planet and the primitive alien society did save Wildman's baby ---- so, that's something.
This is the end of a plot arc that just didn't end up working well. I have a feeling the baby was changed to be Kazon/Cardassan instead of being Chakotay's to end this plot arc and move forward from here.
Even with the Kazon not working out there is a genuine earned crew comradery that is evident within the Voyager crew even at this early stage of the show.
Janeway even sacrifices part of her glorious mane for the cause of making fire. Picard couldn't pull that off!

Season General Thoughts -----
- Average score of 7.34 for this season. This puts in good company with other solid seasons of star trek.
- This season would likely rank higher on my rating scale if not for two stinkers that brought down an otherwise good to great season of star trek.
- The Kaizon / Seska story arc just didn't work for me. The performances/makeup of the Kaizon is wonderful but they are not compelling enough antagonists being nothing more then fragmented space pirates. If I was the star trek gate keeper I would have the Kaizon be the Delta quadrant version of a corrupted fragmented star fleet and we get to experience the positive/negative elements of them through interactions with Janeway ---- in the end Janeway gets through to them.... well, there's a bunch you can do with it.
- Mulgrew continues to lead the ensemble with her wonderful performances. I am developing an appreciation for Neelix and Chakotay in my current viewing as well.
