Care to explain Ensign Janeway on TNG?

meh, i always thought TNG tuvok was him under cover. Although I don't remember right now if he had the ears or not.

He doesn't have ears. He's a human. He just looks like Tuvok.

I think 3 minutes googling is enough to decide that Lucy's DOB is perhaps less on line than... Although Neil Patrick and the girl that played "Wanda" were born in 73 and 72 respectively, and all the kids on Doogie hause, their characters were supposed to be 16 in the pilot, and were supposed to all b the same age... The guy that played "Vinnie" was born in "1967". Thyroid condition?

So Mulgrew born in '55 could have easily been Lucy Boryers mother, and equally so Ensign Janeway could have easily been Captain Janeways daughter.

What would that say about Kathryn, if she had a daughter back home that she refused to talk about or acknowledge?

They should totally CGI on some ears and have done with it.

HA!

Picard took Devor down with a Vulcan nerve pinch.

(I wonder if Tim thought about the characters name during Counterpoint?)

Surely the nerves would be in different places?

The head's in the same place isn't it?

I know books aren't canon, but you could always make it a possibility that Ensign Janeway is Kathryn's sister, Phoebe from Mosaic. Considering she is wearing a science/medical uniform, it is a possibility that her sister had the same interest in science as her older sister did.

Phoebe wasn't in Starfleet, had brown hair, and was an artist. I dunno if that would fit. They were basically painted as opposites in a lot of ways.

Unless there was a sister Mom never wanted to talk about... :P

Or dear old Dad had more than one family?

Underhanded inconsensual polygamy must be so hard in the information age, gods forbid the future.

Hey, in Roddenberry's future, such things would be actively encouraged.

I got hold of the First Season of Doogie Howser on DVD and I'm making a go of it, (It's aged well.) wherein "Ensign Janeway" is wandering in and out of the episode run, but it got me thinking...

What if the Kathryn Janeway we are familiar with is already from an alternate future who came back to make things better, and replaced her younger self aboard Picards Enterprise, while retaining her rank she earned from the Future?
