Uggghhh. Why why why just not have a series set after the end of voyager????

Thanks. That's intersting. Of course there are moral factors at play…

Yes but undoubtedly some kind of apartheid and Jim Crow carries on

Who invented "the dead cause the collapse of society?" Was it Night? Because to me Night doesnt have a full end of the world feel, although maybe its coming.
