Just ask Q, REALLY nicely.

At the outset, let us say that this article is written with more than a little tongue in cheek here. Had Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant sooner than it did, there would be no show, and there would be no list. Can you imagine anything worse than that? Well, other than trying some of Neelix's Year of Hell elixer.

The ship and crew were faced with challenge after challenge while on the other side of the galaxy, but they were also teased with ways of getting home much sooner than they originally thought. While we'll break some of these down here, it's also worth noting that Star Trek: Voyager was perhaps the best series of Trek to truly explore the mysteries of space. For every episode where nothing much happened, there would be another with strange nebulae, singularities, wormholes, and more.

Yes, there are a few frustratingly obvious things they could have done - and we'll get to that - but in truth, we're sort of glad they didn't. While we would truly love to see Voyager flying alongside the rest of the fleet for longer than the five seconds that Endgame gave us, we are still grateful for their journeys through areas of space that no human had seen before.
