I so wanted to like this guy too…
Janeway is my favorite captain for sure. The others are all remarkable, because of course they are, but whenever I watch Voyager, I am reminded of how much more I like her over the others.
She had (and used) this great guile to serve her and her crew’s needs. She didn’t readily break her principles, but would intelligently question them when they didn’t appear to align with the greater good or her responsibilities.
She was both flexible and reliable. I feel that some viewers saw that as unpredictability, but I don’t think so. She actively did more to help her crew in every way than any other captain we’ve seen.
She’s not my favorite but I do rank her real high for all the reasons you mentioned. I also think she’s the Captain who stands for Starfleet the most. She sacrificed a lot to hold up Starfleet ideals
Half of my potential comments in this community end this way … I just stare into the void, wonder if my humor makes any sense and then fifty percent of the time just delete what I just wrote.
I would have been killed off on the second day Voyager got lost in the Delta quadrant.
Hey come on! We’re all kind and great people here! You can trust us. That’s what Starfleet is all about
Sheepishly putting on my red shirt
Congratulations! You’ve been assigned to an away mission on an unfamiliar planet with three of the main cast. We await your return!
Alright!!! I can’t wait to tell my friends about this adventure when I come back! … it’s gonna be so cool!!
Ayy, I do that a lot, too. Usually because I don’t feel like it contributes anything, nobody else would give a shit, and/or it’s just negativity that I don’t want to be putting out there. It’s tough, because although I think these feelings are valid, they can also prevent me from expressing myself creatively.
Red Shirts … we are the honorary Red Shirts of Risa
There are the main contributors with their never ending supply of memes, everyone knows them and love them.
And then there’s us, the Red Shirts, who just step in from time to time and every once in a while we just get shot down and no one ever notices.
To the Red Shirts, my friend … wear the uniform with pride, we are the Re …
Same. Great episode. I love the interplay between these two
