spoiler . like other poster and i felt that the end be a bit abrupt . i would have like to have see the crew adjust to life back on earth after their return . i suppose the writer anticipate this problem by front load some voyager on earth sequence at the beginning of the episode . ( of course and that time line have be eradicate and so it all moot . ) i do like how admiral janeway die for the voyager crew . a fan and we get to have our cake and eat it to and by have janeway both make the ultimate sacrifice and live on . i admit that the scene of janeway and her old self have conversation be bizarre and so easily could have cross the line into camp . fortunately and mulgrew ( s ) pull it off .
