Off Topic: Deep Thoughts with dmm
 

Deep thoughts for today:
Has anyone ever counted up the number of shuttles that Voyager has lost over the years? Seems like it's one every third episode. How do they keep replenishing them? And why don't they make the new ones better? Why don't they have a fleet of Delta Flyers?

And while I'm on the subject of Voyager, can anyone explain the end of the final episode? How did they escape from that Borg ship? It sounds like they're headed back to the Delta quadrant, when suddenly they're behind the Borg! I've watched it three times, and I'd swear that 5 to 10 seconds of the episode got cut out.

What are your deep thoughts?

i think the borg ship was behind voyager, they opened that hatch and tractored voyager into the borg ship for assimilation. then once they had exited the transwarp aperture they fired one of those transphasic torpedoes and BOOM no more borg... and then they fly out of the hull fragments 1light year from Earth

Shuttles? They get someone killed and resurrected via the transporter, or genetically altered into an entirely new life form and similarly re-built/restored via the transporter or some other cheesy method, about as often as they lose shuttles. How do you explain that they still had any humans on that ship when they got home? http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/tongue.gif http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Actually what they didn't tell us was that Voyager was actually destroyed by the Caretaker array and the entire 7 years in the Delta quadrant was just a power surge induced halucination of the holo-doc's matrix in the Last 500 miliseconds of it's exsistence.

That would explain a lot actually...

If they actually had the balls to do that for the Last episode, it would've been hilarious!

Anyway, I totally agree with you dmm. The finale was very disapointing, and I was one of the few VOY fans out there. It was olmost like some important piece of the story was edited out.

Personally I would have been happier if young Janeway had told old Janeway to stick it, blown up the Borg nexus, and taken the long way home.

The whole thing was just too pat. Very "have your cake and eat it too". Star Trek has never minded letting characters bend reality, but at least there are usually consequences.

I kind of felt like the Admiral and Reg looked at the end. &lt;poof, Voyager appeears&gt; "Uh, welcome home. (now what?)"
