A friend of mine just told me that he had heard that they are planning a
series of books that take place right after the finale, supposedly aimed at
tying up some of the loose ends.
Yeah time travel is always a sticky wicket, for the exact reasons you
pointed out.
A need twist would have been to go back and prevent voyager from being taken
thereby erasing the last 7 years.. That would be kind of a neat twist that
no one would expect.

Why was it a bad ending? Because time travel, by its very nature leads to
bad endings. Why didn't she go back to the time right before the array
kidnapped them? Why not before the array was destroyed? Why not copy the
device and use it once to get to whenever she wanted and then another time
to get them back to fed space at whatever time?
We know that destroying the hub was not her reason for being there, only
using it to get the ship home. And what of the time cops from the 29th
century? Why didn't they stop her? And what of ALL the hanging plot threads?
So the fed has tech from 30 years in the future now? The borg are all
destroyed (no queen)? does voyager now fly past the ruins of the golden gate
bridge? (destroyed in the dominion war by the breen in DS9)
Both the "so what" factor has to be answered and all these plot threads have
to be tied up. Looks like a job for ST writers and more books.
