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?
I don’t remember it being that bad… but on the other hand, everything you’ve written above sounds familiar, and probably true.
I definitely remember being annoyed about a few things, but overall still had a “actually, I’m glad I read that” by the end.
It probably helped that there was at least 10-15 years between when I last saw Voyager, and when I picked up a cheap copy of the book.
