This was the year I decided to get into Star Trek; I wanted to start with Voyager for no reason other than I LOVE Kate Mulgrew and now as a whole I also LOVE Star Trek: Voyager.
However this two part ending was just okay. The show deserved a better ending.
The overall two part ending had the right pacing, tension and drama, and kept the story exciting. However, I feel for a show that had been running for 7 full seasons the final segment fell pretty flat. I was really expecting some sort of awesome all out battle between the Federation's armada and the Borg sphere; maybe have a happy reunion of families and friends. Instead they popped back into the Alpha Quadrant. And that was it. Roll credits.
I could have also absolutely done without the forced romance between Seven and Chakotay; especially since there was a much, much better and more natural chemistry between him and Janeway. I felt it was extremely cringe worthy and read more like a basic 'fan fiction' level of writing. I binge watched this show so the change in romance interests for Chakotay seemed really out of the blue.
Overall, the show is amazing and by far one of my forever favorites – but I can't get over how unsatisfying and underwhelming this ending was.
