Star Trek: EVERY Season Ranked Worst To Best

Voyager's final year has something of a bittersweet place in the hearts of many fans. While the show returned to a mostly stand-alone format, with the exceptions of Flesh and Blood, Workforce and Endgame, several of the episodes rank among the series' best.

Shattered is clearly a loving tribute to all that had gone before in Voyager, featuring the return of the Cardassian antagonist, Seska.

Body and Soul allows Jeri Ryan to step away from the normal portrayal of Seven, while playing the Doctor in her body. Flesh and Blood explores the consequence of decision, while Endgame sees the crew finally arrive home.

Brannon Braga stepped down as show runner for this year. He had originally planned for Seven to die in the finale, having written the episode Human Error to set this up. However, she was saved from the chopping block (to the delight of Star Trek Picard fans!)

Ethan Phillips was the only main cast member not to make it to the Alpha Quadrant, something that allowed for the touching episode Homestead. His departure scene allowed many of the Voyager cast and crew to been seen on screen, forming his guard of honour. This would be similar to the final scene in Vic Fontaine's in What You Leave Behind.

While the final moment of Endgame feels highly rushed, there is a beautiful bookend to the show as a whole, as Janeway's final words echo her closing words to Caretaker. Then, flanked by a Galaxy and a Defiant class ship, Voyager arrives back to Earth, completing the seven year journey for the audience as well.
