Well, technically Endgame was Janeway's brilliance. She just hasn't done it yet :P

We all knew Voyager would get home in 7 years. It was decided the second the series was set.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Which means we were destined to get deus ex machina from the start :wink:

Well, a 70-year run would blow the doors off the records for fictional series. (and it'd have to be a pretty damn good show if it could pull it off) :P

Hey, I honestly thought they'd just leave' em out there. Abandoned just like Ben Sisko with the wormhole aliens

They look like Phyllis Diller,

They wouldnt leave it open ended unless they planned on doing movies. Although having them blow up an fail would have been an interesting take on it.

That would've been rather unexpected, for sure.

She did something right.
Yeah, she figured out which admiral to blow.
