Thirty years ago today Star Trek: Voyager Start your journey to the Delta Quadrant with Launch of the pilot“Caretaker” is famous, VoyagerThe production of goods started to take off in leaps and bounds. losing its leading actress, Genevieve Buhold, just days after filming. But Bujold's loss was star trekprofit with Kate Mulgrew's arrival to scroll in Voyagercaptain chair coffee mug in hand and what makes her perfect star trek Clear from the start
There's a lot of weird and wonderful stuff in “The Keeper,” big, bold ideas like stranding a ship tens of thousands of light years from Federation space. Or how the damage to the crew during the initial accident left Janeway's Starfleet officers having to rub shoulders with the new guerrilla allies from the Maquis they were hunting. There were little things like B's hair. How sublime Roxann Dawson's Ellana Torres is before tragically straightening her hair the second she becomes part of Starfleet again (a crime!), or Kate Mulgrew's expression when she has to respond to that line. “You have not lived until you have tasted a man's Anglabosque.” (30 years later and we never knew what Anglabosque was, we clearly had to live empty life)
Really pleased with what made the “caretaker” work as a pilot. Centered on Mulgrew.– Her immediate understanding of who Janeway is. And how does this episode never descend to combat the idea of having a female captain leading the show? Voyager a momentum and energy that the show couldn't always capitalize on over the next seven seasons. At times she was callous. Some are caring leaders. We see her pushed and pulled through this strange situation where she is sent on a routine mission that turns into a struggle for her and her crew in the face of unfathomable forces. and face the justice and compassion that simmers all the time. It's almost ridiculous to think that Mulgrew wasn't there from the beginning. It feels like Janeway was made for her. Even though all of this That one line I read about her in “Caretaker” was burned into my mind ever since I first saw it.
It is absolutely nonsense, one of many. VoyagerNotable quotation marks of the scene: Voyager They have just met Neelix, a Talaxian merchant, who offers to help them navigate the strange new region they find themselves in in exchange for a supply of water, but first, he leads them to a world where the crew believes Maquis and Starfleet officers. Many of those kidnapped were taken away. But Neelix quickly admits that he is leading them astray. They are helping him make an agreement with the local breed, Kazon. Or more specifically One of their subdivisions is Kazon-Ogla.
“Cason-Okla,” asked Janeway, her head bowed to the bright light of the desert world they shone upon. “Who is Kason-Okla!?”
It's not a comedy. It's a totally normal line. It's a perfectly normal reaction for Janeway to realize Neelix has tricked them, but Mulgrew sells the ridiculousness of this moment's incredulity. So much so that I can't help but laugh every time I watch “Caretaker” for the rest of my life. pull Fan. Anger. Confusion. Her voice fluctuates as she emphasizes “Kazon-Ogla.” She doesn't tease a line or even say the names of aliens and technobubbles. Emphasizing the seriousness and completeness that drips from every syllable of the sentence, Kason-Okla? WHO It's Kazon-Okla! I can't explain why this spoke to me in such a specific way. Beyond Mulgrew's confidence as she spoke In that moment, Kazon-Ogla, whoever they were, was the most real thing in the world for her. And she makes you believe it No matter how bizarre it seems
Janeway and the rest of the crew will move on. So many iconic moments.and many wide-ranging, earnest, funny, courageous and inspirational speeches and exchanges throughout. VoyagerSeven seasons, but every moment in them. Voyager Even better are all the moments I've ever seen when I watched it. star trek During the best time of my life This is what randomly pops into my head like a psychotic episode. Which is something I still think about and laugh about 30 years later.
