The premise of Voyager – featuring Starfleet’s first female captain, brilliantly played by Kate Mulgrew – held a lot of potential. However, many viewers were disappointed because the show didn’t fully live up to its promise for much of its run. It rarely explored the real challenges of being stranded far from home. Despite being lost in deep space, the ship’s damage was often quickly fixed, resources were easily found, and crises were usually resolved within a single episode – a common pattern for Star Trek. Essentially, the show didn’t convey a strong sense of isolation or desperation, and the crew’s difficult situation was often overlooked – except in one significant instance.

Deciding which ending worked best was tough. Though a perfectly happy conclusion would have been ideal, particularly for a show inspired by classic ’80s movies, the most memorable endings acknowledged the lasting pain the characters experienced. From the Byers’ home to the final battle in the Upside Down, here’s a look at how the stories of our favorite heroes – and their biggest foe – wrapped up.
