The moment I knew Janeway was a great captain: "I'm usually easy to get along with, but I don't like bullies, I don't like threats, and I don't like you, Cullah."
Think those aliens REEEEAAAAAAAAALYYYYYY underestimated her when they filled her brain with probes. I would imagine she has a file with them that is labed: DO NOT TOUCH HER OR HER SHIP!
My favourite Captain! She's a badass, she's flawed, she's human, she's a scientist. She got her crew home and expanded the frontiers of exploration. Truly underrated. Voyager rocks!!!
It's also the disaster assistance job's way of saying "Get out!" I've used it for a very long time and now that I'm retired... I STILL find myself saying it!
That's my favourite scene with her and it's inspired me throughout my life. I met Kate Mulgrew and thanked her for how well she played her. She's always inspired me.
Love her and Naomi. "There are three things to remember about being a starship captain: keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship - and never abandon a member of your crew."
There's a ton of Picard, Sisko and Kirk fans but Janeway is so underrated as a captain and a character!!! After re-watching all series, I actually think Janeway is my favourite despite Picard holding a special place in my heart as I grew up watching TNG as a kid
I love Captain Janeway so much! In many ways, she was my idol throughout my Childhood and even now, I watch Voyager to receive advise from Cpt. Janeway! There are so many quotes I love, but there is one in particular, that I use on a regular basis: "One more coffee and I jump to Warp!"
The one thing Janeway had over Sisko (another badass), is she didn’t have Starfleet Command to back her up. In fact, her dealing with the atrocity the USS Equinox Captain was doing kind of proved it!
@@albinteer1242 If we go by SF Debris' interpretation, she deliberately stranded Voyager so that she could torment her crew for her own amusement. Given her willingness to ignore logical solutions to get home on a constant basis (never asking Q when he shows up, going after Ferengi instead just hopping in a wormhole, etc...). Honestly, it just makes more sense to view her as a secret villain instead of a heroic captain.
I love the way that she can be the most caring and sympathetic person you have ever seen, but when it comes to discipline she can put her foot down with the best of them.
Janeway is my second favorite captain, I love how powerful she is. We can't forget she was the first leading female captain at a time when (like uhura before her) it was really not widely acceptable.
It was good, but Voyager had way too many "Episodes that never happened". Unfortunately this was one of the main ones, Time and Again was another off the top of my head.
Voyager was my TNG, I grew up with it, I even have all seven seasons on dvd, wich I used to binge-watch on a mobile tv when I was on holiday as a child. I also grew up with Picard and the gang but somehow Voyager has always been my favorite show and I never understood why its so hated among fans.
Definitely. Janeway as a captain hardly ever listens to anyone else, she can be very stubborn--but Tuvok's opinion immediately cracks that shell. And Seven/Chakotay can talk her off cliffs too if they get her in a room alone.
Janeway is a favorite captain of mine. Many captains overdo the toughness and I'm the boss thing but she knew when to put her foot down as well as when to be a warm and loving friend. I hope ST: Prodigy turns out to be good
Voyager was one of the first Intrepid Class vessels (so how she managed to get her hands on a First Contact rifle could be explained by it being part of the brand new personnel armament along with the new and updated neural-gel the ships consoles and AI ran on)
@@blacksupersport8311 Dude... Sisko was a bad ass, and a hell of a captain. I mean, he punched Q in the face, AND chased the traitor Michael Eddington down AND FORCED him to turn himself in, AND also turn over the Maquis' biogenic weapons, AND he spearheaded an attack against the Dominion, AND ended the Dominion War. And I'm sure there's more I'm leaving out. Sisko, while not exactly a by the book Starfleet Captain, was the best captain. And mind you, I used to be of the opinion that Picard was the best. I suppose Picard is the best by the book captain, but Sisko is tied with him, but being the most bad ass. Makes sense, really, considering their history.
Janeway and Chakotay had a relationship that lasted several months. They were left behind on a planet because they some kind of disease or infection. They admit they have wondered about them getting together and they set up home together. Chakotay even carves a wood bath for Janeway to soak in. Voyager found a cure, turn around and went back for them. When Janeway and Chakotay return to the ship, Janeway is " it's over, we never speak of this again." I'm surprised a channel producing Star Trek stuff doesn't know this.
Janeway has always been my favourite Captain. She & Chakotay had a incredible chemistry & relationship. Voyager will always be my favourite Star Trek show thanks too Janeway & her relationship to the crew. ^^
Janeway was also the first to say, “initiate the self-destruct sequence” IN A HEARTBEAT! She will KILL you and her crew before giving up that ship...IN A HEARTBEAT
Phage is a fantastic early episode. I also love the final scene aboard the Delta Flyer in The Voyager Conspiracy or the scene in the brig in Hope and Fear. Janeway and Kate have been an inspiration to me since Voyager started. "Permission to come aboard?" Me: OMG, GRANTED!! I can't wait to see what Janeway's up to in Prodigy.
I wish I had grown up with this show - what a powerhouse woman!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰I actually wish the J+ C romance had been explored at least at the end ❤️ there was so much chemistry there
Oooooooh, you have no idea how satisfying this is. Love every second of this! Janeway for the win! My absolute favourite Captain, thank you for this marvellous present.
Energise! For me, Janeway had one of the toughest jobs out there. Dealing with the real unknown, but also knowing that she's gonna bump into the Borg at some point. A known evil. I take a lot of her leadership and principles with me. They've steered me right so far... 🖖
We mustn’t violate the Prime Directive! We must make the sacrifice of a decades long journey because we are a people of principle! THREE YEARS LATER Eff it. Let’s help the Borg.
I Love her, always did! Glad to see Kate back! Captain Janeway was part Kirk, part Picard and all spitfire. And every scene with her and Q is hilarious. My hubby and I were watching Macrocosm and when she was strapping all those weapons on, he said Janebo! And that became one of my gamer tags. She got them home. Bottom line. Best series end, though I hated seeing it end.
She was the first Star Trek captain that I ever watched, and I loved Janeway. Sisko later stole the number one spot from her for me, but she is still right up there.
really either one could totally qualify for best. Kirk and Picard are classic, but Sisko and Janeway are the two captains that had to lead under extremely unusual and controversial circumstances.
Of the TNG era shows, Voyager was my favourite. Kate Mulgrew isn't just a fantastic actress but also a marvellous representation for anyone who truly loves everything Star Trek.
Capt. Janeway's favorite phrases 1. Coffee, black! 2. Damn! 3. Engage Mr. Paris 4. Set a course for home 5. This is turning into the week of hell 6. Get off this ship! 7. Fire! 8. Energize
I always felt they could have done way more with the maquis/starfleet divide. Not dragged it out for all 7 seasons obviously. But basically have the finale of season 1 be a full on mutiny of some of the maquis, hell, have some of the disillusioned starfleet who just want to get home join them, and then deal with the fallout of that for season 2.
They actually sort-of did that, though, with the episode "Worst Case Scenario" - granted, it takes place as a holodeck simulation, but it acts as essentially a "what if" episode about an actual mutiny, with Chakotay and the former Marquis taking command of Voyager and preparing to drop off the Starfleet personnel on a planet to find their own way home. It's actually a very interesting episode, and I feel it explores the concept really well.
I agree with you ten thousand percent! I was in high school when the original trek aired for the first time and I absolutely HATED the way women were treated in that show even though I loved the show. It took a long time and several series for things to improve and for primary women characters to have more than "safe" occupations such as medicine. (Don't tell me Uhura couldn't have run the Enterprise single-handed!) DS9 (my second-favorite series) gave us the amazing Kira Nerys but she still wasn't in command. IMHO Kate Mulgrew was absolutely FLAWLESS as Kathryn Janeway. A brilliant scientist and tactician, yet still a woman with emotions and a heart. (For you youngsters, look back at old movies and series to see how nonexistent such women used to be.) i just wish they hadn't given her that silly Victorian-governess hairstyle in the first season! Thanks for letting me rant.
Hi Marcus, I think Captain Janeway is under ranked in the list of Captains, Each has a quality that are unique to each and brings something different as captain. Janeway in out of contact with the Federation and must challenge herself and crew to stand by their training and faith in StarFleet's moral values while facing hug obstacles.
My favourite captain already, then in 'Year of hell'. Janeway was so committed to repairing Voyager and keeping everything going. She forgot her own Birthday. When Chakotay says "today is May 20th". My eyes lit up! That's my Birthday!...I went into Nerd overload that day! 😁
@AngemonRulez actually other way around Jeri got role because she was dating Braga and the pair turned it into 7 of 9 show. Kate just stood up for herself
@@Dancestar1981 so locking Ryan out of make up and refusing to let her in is standing up for herself!! No she was a bully and whatever the reasons it does not justify her behaviour.
Captain Kathryn Janeway is the best Captain in all of Starfleet and she's a badass too she has a mothering nature to Seven of Nine and she cares a lot for her crew and she would not abandon them that is the true characteristics of a great captain and energize as all of the Starfleet captains have said including Kathryn Janeway.
voyager has always been one of my favourite star trek series, so much so that when I played mass effect I made my character look like janeway and called her that too lol, but growing up all I heard was hate towards the show and I could never understand why. yes there are episodes that don't work (threshold, even though I have a so bad its good love for that episode lol) but for me that is no different to any of the other star trek show. however seeing how much love voyager gets now means so much and this video sums up perfectly why the show deserves to be loved.
First Seasons Janeway: we can't trade our technology. Later Seasons Janeway: we will give people we barely know two federation shuttles that have all kinds of technology onboard.
My favourite inadvertently hilarious Star Trek moment was on Voyager! Chakotay: "What's happened to you Katherine?" Janeway: "I was about to ask you the same thing!!" Me: "uhm......you do know his name isn't Katherine, right?"
She's my favourite captain too. She does what is obviously still a man's job in the 24th century, pulls it off brilliantly lost in the Delta Quadrant, holds the crew and ship together against impossible odds, and ultimately sacrifices herself to change the timeline, defeat the Borg, and get the crew home earlier. Name another captain who can equal that.
That was actually a great episode. I love the ending, since its so insidious it makes you almost feel afraid for the villain. Fear: "I'm afraid." Janeway: "I know." Fear: "Drat."
The greatest thing about Janeway for me was her hair! 95% of the time she got into a scrape the hair would fall out of place,then automatically return to a perfectly coiffured look...
Janeway is awesome, i dont get all the Voyager dislike. It started out slow, but finished awesome, just like every single start trek show after the original
When she's finally had enough of mind probing aliens after they kill one of her crew. Then she freaking flies Voyager into a binary polsar to finally get rid of them. Needless to say, don't poke Mama Bear Janeway. It usually doesn't end well.
Personally I don't need an overarching plot (one offs trying to get back makes sense for this show while it often didn't for Kirk or Picard). I liked them having to scrap around for resources and stop at planets just to get food for Neelix to physically cook in the galley. It feels much more tangeable. I enjoyed them rationing replicator rations, making a questionable trade to get a necessary ore... fascinating stuff.
3:00 Janeway gets some cute Kiss and a little Geeking out Romance. Also went through The Ritual to save Kes .I loved her strong Fermale Role being leader of a sShip but also being a Mother to them , having a open Ear for they Problems. Picard often was cold and distant, shes keeps the Chain of Command but also is Kathrin later to her close friends like tuvok or checkoty
6:02. I don't think Janeway knew that crashing voyager into the krenim ship would reset everything I think she just wanted to destroy the krenim ship after the year of hell
Picard would have negotiated through and have them join the federation. Sisko would have taken over and forced them to join the federation. Archer would have time travelled the shit out of them. Janeway is in no way a bad captin but imo sisko is the best out of them.
While I would've loved to see this as it would've allowed for so many possibilities to expand on the plot, I can't help but feel the reset ending - which was fine for the end of a two-parter - wouldn't work so well if it reset an entire season. That would get a lot of fans upset, so probably not a good idea...
Oh god, no, please no. The season starts and keeps you watching all season/year long. Then, on the very last episode you get the "Oh sorry, we're just kidding." As they reset the entire season back to the very first episode and continue on like that entire season never happened. Wait, let me guess, you don't even realize they wasted two hours of your life with that two part episode? Ugh, simpletons...
Honestly, as cool as it sounds on paper... I don't think that would have worked very well. Maybe as a 3 or 4 episode mini epic, but also think of how fans would feel when the events of an entire season would be forgotten after a giant reset button in the final episode of the season.
