10 Star Trek Events OTOY & The Roddenberry Archive Should Explore Next

3. Voyager Returns Home

As the final scene of Endgame aired, the USS Voyager joined a small force of familiar Starfleet vessels, heading towards Earth - and the credits cut to black. It wasn't quite Don't Stop Believin', but it wasn't what we'd call satisfying either.

Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Picard have both depicted the original Voyager after its return to the Alpha Quadrant, but those first few minutes after exiting that Borg Sphere remain shrouded in mystery. 

The opening to Endgame offered a swooping flight across San Francisco's bay (any nuclear wessels on show?) but there were no reunions, no landings, no moments of catharsis for the longest away mission in Starfleet history. OTOY and The Roddenberry Archive have already proven their salt at depicting ships coming home, so why not the intrepid crew of the Intrepid-class? 

Imagine the ship coming in to land, in full 4k resolution, parking on the grounds of Starfleet Academy in the evening sun? We know that it will head off again to the Portelo System, but could it not first take a moment to bask in the light of a long-awaited homecoming?
