bbbb Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I agree that Kate Mulgrew did a really good job portraying Janeway but why would Janeway be considered a good character anyway? She was mean, crooked, lacked command presence essential to the success of a captain (although the same can be said of Sisko, the worst captain on Trek because of that talkshow called DS9) and made bad decisions.

Tell us what you really think! :p Mean AND crooked? Lacked command presence? Wowsers! What show were you watching? It sure wasn't Voyager. Oh well...you know what they say...opinions are like a**holes, we all have one and they all stink! :p c4 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbb Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Janeway as a captain is the most ridiculus thing Ive ever seen. She carrys on and on about her "responobilities", but it come down to this. JANEWAY=woman* in an outragous outfit. Im tired of listening to her wine, A real ship should be captaained by a REAL MAN- as far as cooking in the messhall, washing dishs, and other womanly duties-- Fine she can do that-- but thats IT!!!!!!! * Moderator Edit Be careful what you say on this site. Don't provoke the Borg! We want a good forum, not a bad one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meateater Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Also, we should get a moderator who corrects spelling as well as censoring. "Tired of hearing her wine"? I almost expected Janeway to have a drinking problem. I was like, finally, a drunkard for a starship captain! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost expected Janeway to have a drinking problem. I was like, finally, a drunkard for a starship captain! ;) I suppose it was censorship. We don't have many posting rules here. They shouldn't be too hard to keep. Rather than simply editing the post (what you call censoring), I should have deleted it immediately - as well as all posts that cited it, then asked NiteShdw to immediately ban the person who posted it. I prefer to take less drastic action - but the fact remains, that we do have some rules that limit our behavior here. If you don't like them, there are plenty of other forums that have different rules. The only alternative to what you call "censorship" is to immediately expell the offending member of the forums.

meateater Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Agreed. We could have underaged Star Trek fans in here. There are much better ways to get one's opinion across than to resort to language like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I'm 15 myself but i know somone on this forum who is only 13 - Language like that give the whole forum a dark feel to it - lets down the whole forum in a way - I find it typically comes from our newer recruits.

Commando Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Hell i love her! She's by far the best captain of em all. Voyager was dull in the beginning but now after a couple of years its my favorite of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give some examples of everything you've claimed. When was she mean, crooked and lacking in command presence? (And this from bbbb? Have you been pod-peopled?)

There are much better ways to get one's opinion across than to resort to language like that. I've got a pre-teen daughter Trekophile. Do you think I want her reading stuff like that? It offends me!!! Not just the vulgarity of the wording, but the utter objectification of and disrespect towards women!!! We got too many people from Terra Prime signing up, I think ...

jayjay21 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 janeway is one of the best captains, who wants to know all of her crew and how they etc anyone that says anything different i.e. she the worst etc is so wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
