    Janeway did fight, kill, destroy, intimidate, threaten, battle and overcome many enemies and completely use an authoritarian hand for the love of her life …

    Coffee

    If earth, the human race and the federation had stood in her way for a carafe of Columbian coffee, she would have destroyed us all.

      love of her life …

      Coffee

      When they established communications with Starfleet again and got the letter that Mark moved on she was just like “Meh, I knew he would probably move on” lmfao

      But do NOT fuck with her Coffee lol

        I’m trying to remember and too lazy to rewatch or look it up.

        Didn’t Neelix make a coffee substitute that was as good? It was when they were trying to save on replicator rations.

          Well he made a coffee substitute, but it was a sludge like consistency, but I don’t remember her drinking it. Neelix poured it and she saw the sludge but then got called to the bridge

            I don’t think it’s the sludge one. I remember he made something that the captain liked…I’m going to have to rewatch the series again to find it.

    I want a “Someone get this woman some goddammed coffee” tattoo. I don’t care that I’m a cis male. The people who matter will get it.

      When the love of her life left her, she washed her hands and went to the replicator for another cup.

    If we are doing the whole strong female characters BS I present you Kira Nerys.

    Fought a genocidal occupation all her youth
    Became one of the leading figures in a massive space station orbiting her world
    Fought the dominion
    Placed aside her hatred for the Cardassians
    Matured and grew to be a wise woman

    On a different note, what surprised me the most afted rewatching voyager’s pilot after a good 15 years is that Janeway had a boyfriend/husband/partner. I mean he was mentioned in at least another episode during 1st season but I’m pretty sure he has been forgotten by then

      Oh, Mark comes up a few times. We eventually learn that he got married sometime after Starfleet gave up on Voyager being found.

      There’s light commentary later before she finds companionship in fair haven, but essentially she sees how stranded she is and it’s posed to her as inappropriate to partner with someone under her command.

      For the most part though, we do forget about her boyfriend and she has flings with a few guys along her way.

    While I know this is done for humor’s sake, I really love this critique.

    Similar to the Bechdel Test, this comesvery close to perfectly illustrating the Mako Mori Test:

    The requirements of the Mako Mori test are that a film or television show has at least one female character and that this character has an independent plot arc and that the character or her arc does not simply exist to support a male character’s plot arc.[2]

    I know this is a joke, but I’m not sure we should joke about how different people grieve.

    All are valid expressions of grief.
