Goofs

The doctor makes it back with the crew at the end, in fact he is at the party in the beginning which takes place ten years after Voyager's 23-year journey home; but. in Star Trek: Voyager: Living Witness his program had been taken offline and turned back on 700 years later in the Delta Quadrant; however, the two doctors were different copies. The one on Living Witness was a backup copy (like a flash drive or DVD) and the one who made it back to the Alpha Quadrant was the original.

Quotes

[images are displayed of Voyager's arrival over a firework-illuminated San Francisco]
News Speaker: These should be familiar images to everyone who remembers USS Voyager's triumphant return to Earth after twenty-three years in the Delta Quadrant. Voyager captivated the hearts and minds of the people throughout the Federation, so it seems fitting that on this, the tenth anniversary of their return, we take a moment to recall the sacrifices made by the crew.

User Reviews

For all the good that this episode is, it fails

I am a Trekie. I do not care for Star Warts any more, except the first three movies which are part of my childhood.

I grew up watching Star Trek as a child and know all the episodes and movies frontwards and backwards. I enjoy all the shows even though many of them are poorly scripted or directed.

This ending (Endgame), had so much potential, until they decided to do time travel. Time travel is a script killer. If it is done poorly, the entire show/movie fails even if the other 99% is good.

What happens, happens. You can not undo the past. If you could time travel the only thing you could do is create a new timeline for yourself and those with you. The people in the previous timeline will still continue experiencing their timeline with out you.

So for all the good that this script is, it is ruined by a major issue of time travel. They would have been better off sending a transmission back in time to Voyager or having them meet another race which gives them the armor and weapons they need to defeat the Borg.
