I quite liked the C/7 ending, though I think that was mainly because I'd always wanted Seven to have some romance and Chakotay was my favourite male character on the show.
I can certainly understand your wish for Seven to be involved with someone. I personally was hoping for EMH/7. There had been a number of good episodes setting up and developing this relationship, and I was disappointed there ultimately wasn't any payoff. The K/7 shippers felt the same way about their preferred pairing. C/7 would have met with a much better reception, I think, if only the writers had taken the trouble to lay the groundwork for such a relationship.
I also seem to be one of the very few Voyager fans who wasn't either a J/C or a J/7 shipper. ;)
Don't forget the P/Ters--they're at least as numerous, if not as vocal as the various Janeway pairing ships. *And* they got their happy ending!
As for C/T, yes, early eps did seem to point in that direction, especially "Peristence of Vision."
offship or on, I don't think [Janeway's]proper romantic feelings for Chakotay would have blossomed under less bizarre circumstances.
Well, as I've said, the whole New Earth thing was certainly a catalyst, but I think the attraction (on both their parts) was present much earlier. Both "Scorpion" and "Hunters", as well as "Shattered", could easily have gone with Janeway acknowledging her feelings for Chakotay and establishing a relationship (which would have been good for both of them), but TPTB chose to go in another direction.
