Maybe they should have made Axum a recurring character in the last season. He could have been on Voyager and in the last season Seven would explore her relationship with him. Do you think that would have worked??
At least then Chakotay would be free for Janeway and TPTB could actually give the fans what they wanted.

(Forgive my forgetfulness, but was Axum the guy from Unimatrix Zero?) Yeah. But they made him stuck at the far reaches of the galaxy, in the beta quadrant, on a sphere, at the edge of fluidic space. He really was trying to get away from it all...

What they did was have him vow he'd find Seven, hinting that he would return at some point, vaguely suggesting that he would become a new factor in the crew's quest to get home, stongly suggesting that he'd be part of Seven of Nine's closure.
The writers went back on their word essentially.
I came up with a perfect means for all this to occur to replace the Endgame they made. I've posted it before on other BBSes. I have a strong suspicion it resembles what they originally had planned before they had to make that devil's deal with Beltran.

Yeah, but I think that was just to make the episode more dramatic... There really was very little chance that they would meet again...

Agreed. It sounded like the "we'll meet up again" promises at the end of a teenage holiday. When there is no deep down intention of ever seeing them again.

Go Bears!
Personally, I didn't need to see Chakotay hooking up with anyone at the end of the show. But if it had to be someone, I would have picked Janeway. Seven was pretty out of left field, and didn't make much sense.
It made the pairing of Ezri/Julian seem like the longest courtship ever.

Nope. In the world of professional storytelling, that is called a teaser. A teaser is a hint of things to come. You don't write that unless there is genuine intention of a return.

Yeah, but I think that was just to make the episode more dramatic... There really was very little chance that they would meet again... I thought it would have been good if they brought him back. But unfortunately Voyager didn't really have a lot of recurring characters. Maybe if Axum was recurring Seven could have come to learn more about love in the seventh season.
