Once again after a good first part comes the disappointing second. I can’t think of a conclusion yet in Voyager which has lived up to the even low expectations some of them had.
After Janeway had given the order to abandon ship, seven of them remain and try to keep the increasingly embattled Voyager together. Get me 14ccs Duct Tape stat! Meanwhile Chakotay and Paris were captured by Annorax. Chakotay tries to appeal to his humanity as the only reason he’s wiping out civilisations is to bring back his beloved wife (I think she was buried on Ceti Alpha V or something).
So to the ending and the whole reset thing. I would’ve possibly gotten the whole reset thing if Annorax had been erased from time and the Voyager crew still remembered the events, maybe. That after all would’ve given it some irony but to have everything fine again and characters not to have lived through it seemed a tad pointless (Ensign Tad Pointless, who of course gave his life for the reset). A surprising thing I learned though was Brannon Braga actually wanted the ship to be wrecked for the whole season but the studio were against that. I would’ve definitely gone for it.
It is interesting though that Janeway’s attitude to first meeting the Krenim both before and after the reset are different. She’s perhaps nicer to them in the second.
