I knew the ending was fairly abrupt, but the series did lead into it a little with Neelix leaving the ship.
At least it wasn't as bad as the ending of Enterprise.
Onward to Star Trek:The Next Generation. A little sappy for the first couple of seasons if I remember correctly. I never was a fan of Riker. I guess I can watch a few of the movies too.
The only thing I don't like about the Star Trek universe is The Borg. I'll probably skip over those episodes.
On the movies - I really liked the first reboot with Chris Pine. I wasn't too happy with the redesigned ST universe where Vulcan was destroyed in the later movie. Oh well, maybe they will reboot the reboots, lol.
