Ron Moore: The story I heard (though I can't recall where) is that after DS9 ended, Ron Moore went over to work on Voyager. After a week he quit in frustration, because no one in that writers room had any interest in actually developing the characters as people.
Getting home: I hoped they'd do something like what DS9 did, taking all or a large portion of their final season to put together a really epic finale. I knew they wouldn't, that they'd do just what they did and get them home in one rather silly final episode. But c'mon! Janeway brings home a Borg, an EMH with not-at-all-delusions of personhood, and half a crew of terrorists. We really needed to see the fallout from that. I want to believe they all got to live happy and fulfilling Alpha Quadrant Starfleet lives--but you KNOW they had to fight tooth and nail to get there.
