Exactly. Show the CONSEQUENCES of the actions taken. It would have been nice
of ST:VOYAGER had arrived home say in the penultimate episode and shown in
the final the episode a celebration of their return, memorializing thus
lost, and showing the next steps in the careers and lives of the characters
involved. That's what I loved about the last filmed episode of BABYLON 5. In
fact several of the starring characters had already left the series by that
time, but you got a sense that tho the show was ending, the universe lived
on.
