Appending. Like the aftermath.

Hmm, interesting. I liked the ending, for the most part. Although, it further highlights janeway is a bad starfleet captain. Temporal Prime Directive and all that. Then again she didn't subject an entire planet to chemical warfare, so I guess it's all relative :lol:
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I thought the ending was fun but easily could have just occurred somewhere else in the series, not necessarily the ending. Apart from Neelix leaving the ship, they hadn't done much in season 7 to suddenly get them all the way home in two episodes.  And yeah, they took Janeway who was all about I'll never get involved in time travel stuff (while getting pulled into all the time) and tried to spin that losing Seven / Chakotay broken / Tuvok mentally compromised as something that fundamentally changed the character we just spent 7 seasons watching.

Having never seen the end before, I thought they might explore a little of what happens upon their return but we only got to see that via an alternate timeline that will never occur.

Plus, on recollection, they had already done time travel saves the day when Harry and Chakotay did it.

Yes, 100%. That's why it struck me as hollow, that in this finale, alternate timeline Harry Kim is all like you can't mess with the Temporal Prime Directive.
