Voyager's Series Finale
Ok, I am watching the finale of Star Trek: Voyager. The show was on the air, from January 1995 to May 2001 (What they would have done with September 11, 2001, I would have been curious to see), so it was seven entertaining seasons in which the cast and writing quality truely matured with age. So the premise of the show is that the ship and crew got flung a huge distance away from home, and they were trying to make their way back to Earth. As of the second to the last episode they were seven years into their journey. Suddenly, one episode later, in the season finale it is 20 years later. Talk about a bit of a shock, I had to rewind it a couple times to get my head around the sudden change.
And everyone is really messed up. Sick, or dead, some of the more interesting characters are not even in the thick of things anymore.
I'll finish the show and let you know.
All wrapped up, and in a pretty bow too. Wouldn't you know that that everything came together all perfect. Voyager got home safe and sound, after only 7 years (the Captain from the future went back in time, and brought some BIG GUNS). Everyone is alive, the baby was born safely, and there was even a romantic kiss between Jeri Ryan and Robert Beltran, with a promise of them getting much closer to each other. And the ultimate nemisis (The Borg, come on, try and keep up) were soundly, and seemingly permenantly defeated. I guess after the rocky start, it turned out to be a great finale, very unlike the finale of Star Trek: Enterprise. I'm still bitter about that one.
