25 years ago today, the triumphant and beautifully executed series finale of Star Trek: Voyager aired ✨
Despite being a science fiction series finale, "Endgame" resonates as a human story and a family story. You are taken right into the USS Voyager and like a crewman you feel yourself working alongside the crew - rooting for them to return home.
Every moment is seamless and leaves you with no questions at the end. For being twenty-five years old, this episode feels like it could be made today, but in truth it could not be. This series finale is exactly what Gene Roddenberry had in mind when creating Star Trek. It ends on a positive note with hopeful sentiment for tomorrow and a united family forever.
I would like to say this edit was a full labor of love and took many hours to complete but the final result was worth it ✨
With gratitude to writers Rick Berman, Brannon Braga, Kenneth Biller, Mike Sussman, Robert Doherty and the rest of the Voyager writers and editors, and director Allan Kroeker who came together to give us fans a beautifully written conclusion to such a beloved and timeless series. Likewise, the great Jay Chattaway who beautifully composed an epic score for a satisfyingly epic ending.
And to the actors…. Kate Mulgrew, Robert Beltran, Jeri Ryan, Robert Duncan McNeil, Roxann Dawson, Robert Picardo, Garrett Wang, Tim Russ, Ethan Phillips and Jennifer Lien.
