Should there have been a Voyager episode or two after they got home? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

What the Voyager finale needed was an epilogue - a short bookend scene after the plot has been resolved so the audience can feel closure. TNG handled this wonderfully with the card game in Riker's quarters in its series finale, which is a satisfying, memorable bookend to a long-running show. Voyager didn't get that epilogue treatment, which boggles the mind because it's a basic story mechanism and only needed a minute of screen time. That show deserved better.
