Janeway and the crew go in search of a fabled Holy Transwarp drive. During a Borg attack, Chakotay is squashed by a horse. An animated sequence shows a species 8472 Alien chasing the crew around a planetoid, until Brannon Braga suffers a fatal heart attack. Tom and B'Elanna build a castle, which burns down, falls over, and sinks into a swamp. Kim is devoured by an evil predator rabbit, which in turn is killed by Neelix's Holy Hasperat. Finally, Janeway and the surviving crewmembers lay siege to Unimatrix 01, where the Borg hurl badly-accented insults (along with assorted vegetables and mammals) at them.
Finally, a Starfleet Admiral appears, declares the whole series "silly," and orders the crew off the soundstage.

Brannon Braga suddenly is serving on board Voyager. As the crew leave the ship in various alien ships, Braga orders Voyager to self-destruct.

Don't worry Fabby. Altair isn't exactly right. With the event that he may or may not be describing that may or may not happen. Er, yeah.
Actually, their are two TOS endings. The "abrupt" one, and the one where the crew laughs really badly for about 5 minutes over something Kirk/Spock/Scotty said. The laughter goes on forever. It doesn't stop. It makes you want to claw your skin off. Oh, god, why won't they stop laughing?

Eh, maybe. Although it would have been more abrupt if it had ended just as Kirk was about to activate the "Omega 13", and then we never found out what it was for.
How many shows in the 60s had "final episodes" anyway?

OH MY GOD!! The awfully ridiculous fake laughing scenes at the end of those shows! AAARGGHH!! That really was not a good PR stunt for the human race in the 22nd century...

I remember one or two occasions at "Quark's" too... Bleargh! It would be fun to use in a parody, a 20 sec. laughing period, followed by someone coming in from a joining room, shouting "STOP IT!!! STOP, GODDAMMIT!! I HATE THIS MICKEY MOUSE BULLSHIT!!
Also, the enough-joke in endings is oh so nauseating!
For example: Ep is about killer bananas that eventually are defeated, then main lead is offered banana by unknowing person, after incident. Lead says "Nah, I've had enough bananas for a looong time. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haah!" *sidekick tilts head, points with finger* "Oohohohooh, cleveeeer!"

Janeway and Seven helm the ship into a black hole.

Voyager visits a planet and unleashes by accident an ancient vampire domanatirx in the form of Denise Richards. Janeway and crew attempt to stop her from creating her once vast and powerful army of half naked vampire lesbians, but in the process turns Seven of Nine into one of her loyal subjects. With Seven on her side, Voyager is captured and most of the main characters are killed. Neelix is placed on chains and forced to eat his Texas cooking, Tuvok is made to go through pon-far while caged and viewing a holographic video of he and his wife having sex, Tom and Belanna are forced to have an in-depth conversation about Tom's past dating habits, Chakotay is forced to remember sleeping with Janeway, and Janeway is placed on a shuttle that is rigged with tri-cobalt torpedoes that explode. As for Harry Kim, he is forced to have his first and last threesome with Seven of Nine and Denise Richards, where his heart explodes. The final scene is of the two of them, covered in blood, French kissing over Harry's dead body as an army of female vampires take over Starfleet Command.
