The first Captain Janeway

[Imp]

Liked Janeway after the first or second season... She grew balls and was cutthroat by the end. How she handled the fellow Federation ship lost in the Delta quadrant was great. Really hated how she screwed over Species 8472 though.

It's not fair to compare anyone else to Mulgrew's role. She got it, we all watched her in it, she owns it. No one else will do a better job at being Kate Mulgrew than Kate Mulgrew.

Having said that, this woman is older with a softer voice and with perhaps a foreign accent. She lacks energy in that scene... there's no vibrance.

Judging from the replies I'm not sure how many people realize Bujold was a big time movie star compared to Mulgrews small time tv actress at the time. Bagging Bujold for Voyager was some kind of coup. Apparently they were so thrilled to have such a serious actress take the part no one stopped to ask themselves whether she was right for it.

This. Before the show came out and word was that the Voyager captain would be female, producers wanted a popular movie actress. Mistake was G.Bujold was not the traveling/promoting type of person. She just didn't fit in. Now they had to look for a seasoned T.V. actress. K.Mulgrew was chosen and the rest is history.

Voyager was the worst, Jerry, the worst.

Kate Mulgrew may actually be nominated or an Emmy next years for her role in Orange.

 

[T9D]

Voyager was great. I liked Kate.

I think that was part of the overall plot where Janeway adapted to her situation in the Delta quadrant. It actually fit into the ending when she broke all the rules to get her ship home.

Jeri Ryan would have been 26 at the time. Even if they had cast her at-age, that would make her as young as NuKirk as far as captain ages go.

And?

 

[TwiceOver]

Cool. Available on Netflix. I'll have to rewatch some of it.

 

[OutHouse]

She just doesn't give me the impression she'd be down for some amphibian sex with Tom Paris.

the janway relationship episodes were just uncomfortable to watch.

 

[OutHouse]

Kate has like 5 different voices.

[lupi]

she would have been way too old for the part.

Like the Picard relationship episodes.

 

[OutHouse]

Like the Picard relationship episodes.

Yea

 

[techs]

I thought Vash was a milf.

No way. On his time off, Picard was an older, more distinguished Indiana Jones - he was bagging women half his age and made it believable.

 

[Centauri]

...he was bagging women half his age and made it believable.

Because he does it in real life.

Watching orange new black now. I hated voyager but she is great in role as Red, for sure. Really a notch above all the other actors.

If we're not lying to ourselves, and unfortunately I see many here are, Patrick Stewart was so fkin money as Piccard that he ruined star trek for everybody else. If you watched early first season deep space nine you probably wanted to eat a bullet over how unbelievably terrible an actor they picked for sisko. Even by 90's standards that was just some terrible acting.

Yeah, but nobody wants to watch a solid father figure get all hot and nasty!

A woman captain requires the captain be a woman

After menopause a female is just a man without a penis.

 

[ohtwell]

Kate Mulgrew is awesome. With the exception of Picard, she was my favorite Star Fleet Captain.

Yeah, I never got a sense of "woman" from Janeway. She was more nongendered person.

To be fair, like just about everything else involving Sisko, it became awesome once he went bald.
