Factoids
- In the future, Harry Kim commands the U.S.S. Rhode Island.
- In the future, Admiral Janeway switches from coffee to tea.
- Some time between Voy: One Small Ship and Voy: Virtuoso on Stardate 53317, captain Janeway was abducted by an alien race called the Kellidians. I wonder why the writers didn't pick some other similar episode to reference instead of this made up occurrence.
- In the future, Naomi Wildman has a daughter, Sabrina.
- In the future, Miral Paris is an ensign in Starfleet.
- In the future, Seven of Nine and Chakotay will both die.
Remarkable Scenes
- Seeing Voyager flying over San Francisco.
- The doctor finally chose a name... Joe. I agree with Mr. Paris. Not the greatest choice!
- The doctor: "You're going to have a very healthy baby. But not tonight." Torres: "Tell me you're joking. You're experiencing false labor, lieutenant." Tom: "Again?" The doctor: "As I explained the last time, it's a common occurrence. Especially among Klingons." Torres: "I want this thing out of me! Now!" The doctor: "Misdirected rage. Another common occurrence among Klingons."
- Icheb defeating Tuvok at Kalto.
- Future Tuvok freaking out about Janeway leaving.
- Janeway arriving at the house of Korath.
- Voyager's near miss colliding with a Borg cube.
- Seven having the doctor eliminate Seven of Nine's emotion blocker first discovered in Voy: Human Error.
- Korath: "You question my honor?" Janeway: "If you were honorable, you wouldn't have changed the terms of our agreement."
- Janeway's heist. That's some shuttle!
- Admiral Janeway traveling back in time.
- Admiral Janeway giving captain Janeway orders.
My Review
Well, in the tradition of TNG: All Good Things and DS9: What You Leave Behind, another relationship between characters is made up on the spot. First it was Troi and Worf, then it was Ezri and Bashir, and now Seven and Chakotay. Granted, they've hinted at this relationship between Seven and Chakotay in Voy: Human Error and almost in Voy: Natural Law. Anyway, Endgame, Part I was a sufficiently entertaining episode. I am only slightly annoyed that Admiral Janeway seems to have no problem breaking all kinds of laws just to get her crew home a little faster. Though it seemed obvious Voyager was going to need some kind of major speed boost to make it home before in time for the finale. The 30,000 light years have to come from somewhere! ;)
The following are comments submitted by my readers.
<sigh> I hate episodes wherein the cast have to walk around in old-people make-up: they all look so fake.
At first I was terribly disappointed with most of the endings given to the characters (except for Tuvok's brilliant madness: that should have stayed), but I suppose since they never really happened we can hope that something more interesting happens in the next thirty years.
Seven and Nine and Chakotay: in some ways true to life: it would have been too much of a fairytale for the Doctor or Eejeb to win her.
Star Fleet looks so tired and boring in those new monochrome uniforms.
