#the janeway

[kateclassique]

Futuristically born on this day, May 20, 2336, Kathryn Janeway, Captain of the USS Voyager exceptionally played by Kate Mulgrew in Star Trek: Voyager (1995-2001). I thought it fitting for the 60th Anniversary of the Star Trek franchise to make a video completion of the seven years Captain Janeway courageously helmed the USS Voyager on her journey home. Through battles and hardships, love and loss, mistakes and tactically outstanding action, Kathryn Janeway made her name across the stars, and in many peoples hearts as the best Captain in Star Trek history ✨

The first time I heard "Andromeda" by Weyes Blood and the lyrics "Running from my own life now / I'm really turning some time / Looking up to the sky for something I may never find...." I immediately thought of Janeway and decided at long last to edit a tribute to her timeless legacy ✨

She taught us the right way, the wrong way....and The Janeway ✨

Remember that scene in Voyager when Q tells his son, in the most stern and serious and exasperated tone he’s ever used, to not provoke the Borg?

I just find it comical given that Janeway develops a habit of picking on the Borg in the DQ and eventually is The Borg Expert in the AQ (in the Relaunch novels). She’s basically the consultant that’s called in to deal with the greatest threat the galaxy has ever known, a ‘species’ that even The Continuum steers clear of.

I mean, her ship arrived back in the Alpha Quadrant via a transwarp conduit and blew up the Borg Sphere that followed them. In front of everyone. They even hitched a ride inside the darn thing at the last moment. Starfleet rushed to assemble an armada with the ships they had left after the Dominion War, ready to fight a battle they knew they would lose but dammit they have to try. Just to witness Janeway pulling up late to the party after speeding through a red light and side swiping a bunch of stuff.

There’s plenty to unpack regarding the power of The Continuum and how they relate to other powerful species (Q has a very noticeable respect for Guinan and she isn’t fazed by him). But there’s just something poetic(?) about Q warning his omnipotent but very immature son to leave the Borg alone and he doesn’t say anything to Janeway. And she basically starts playground fights because they are in the way and she doesn’t have time for their nonsense.

Iconic.

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that Janeway’s (temporary) death was the only thing that was a fixed point in space time in every single alternate universe/timeline and even Lady Q recognized the importance of Kathryn Janeway.

Considering how unhingedly loyal the Voyager crew are to Janeway, I’m amused that with Prodigy, it means there are now more people loyal to Janeway.

Just thinking of Janeway having her own honor guard… the most formidable one in the galaxy, I think.

Star Trekking...

The right way: Save the universe in the series finale.

The wrong way: Get canceled several seasons early.

The Janeway: End your trip home with a huge temporal causality paradox.
