Remarkable scenes

  • Seeing Voyager flying over San Francisco.
  • The doctor finally chose a name... Joe. I agree with Mr. Paris. Not the greatest choice!
  • The doctor: "You're going to have a very healthy baby. But not tonight." Torres: "Tell me you're joking. You're experiencing false labor, lieutenant." Tom: "Again?" The doctor: "As I explained the last time, it's a common occurrence. Especially among Klingons." Torres: "I want this thing out of me! Now!" The doctor: "Misdirected rage. Another common occurrence among Klingons."
  • Icheb defeating Tuvok at Kalto.
  • Future Tuvok freaking out about Janeway leaving.
  • Janeway arriving at the house of Korath.
  • Voyager's near miss colliding with a Borg cube.
  • Seven having the doctor eliminate Seven of Nine's emotion blocker first discovered in Voy: Human Error.
  • Korath: "You question my honor?" Janeway: "If you were honorable, you wouldn't have changed the terms of our agreement."
  • Janeway's heist. That's some shuttle!
  • Admiral Janeway traveling back in time.
  • Admiral Janeway giving captain Janeway orders.

Review

Well, in the tradition of TNG: All Good Things and DS9: What You Leave Behind, another relationship between characters is made up on the spot. First it was Troi and Worf, then it was Ezri and Bashir, and now Seven and Chakotay. Granted, they've hinted at this relationship between Seven and Chakotay in Voy: Human Error and almost in Voy: Natural Law. Anyway, Endgame, Part I was a sufficiently entertaining episode. I am only slightly annoyed that Admiral Janeway seems to have no problem breaking all kinds of laws just to get her crew home a little faster. Though it seemed obvious Voyager was going to need some kind of major speed boost to make it home before in time for the finale. The 30,000 light years have to come from somewhere! ;)
