How is Janeway sexy? (Part II) - Page 4

Shatnertage · November 25 2011, 10:17 PM

After a few months away from Voyager, I rewatched a few episodes, and liked Janeway even more than I did before.

She's an interesting character delivered by a great actress.

And I'm still doing my best version of the Dismissive Hand Wave when it's appropriate...and when it's not appropriate.

1) I gotta say... Trek really struck gold with Voyager's trio of strong femmes... Janeway Torres and Seven.
What has struck me in the last few weeks is how much these Voyager women (not just Janeway) have caught the fancy of the youtube vidders. I've done a "semi-serious" survey looking for vids extolling the strong women from various shows/movies and its down right sad what I've found for the ladies of TNG or DS9 and even ENT.

But Voyager?

YOWZA!

2) Shatnerage... If EVERYONE could "do" the dismissive handwave like her Majesty... it just wouldn't be as impressive when SHE does it!

To any Trek entrepreneurs out there... I'd LOVE to buy a Tshirt with Janeway doing a dismissive handwave and the following caption.

SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED!

Probably cos of the Seven connection . . . there was a May/December lesbian vibe.

That's how I feel whenever I'm away for a bit and then get into a rewatch. I also find myself watching other shows now and thinking how much better Mulgrew would have been in the role, how distinctive she is.

I've been watching Stargate Atlantis for the first time and am on season 4. The captain role is a woman and she's just about the blandest character ever and blandest actor. She just stands there and says "what do you think?" and then agrees to do whatever is suggested. We've had a hilarious time rewriting scenes and saying, "Now if that was Janeway she would say.." It's funny because it's so easy to channel Janeway in a similar sci fi setting.

Oh and we had managed to remain spoiler free for Stargate Atlantis until we went to Armageddon and saw Robert Picardo who completely spoiled it for us.. which is somehow so cool I don't care. Robert Picardo spoiled SGA for me, LOLOL

I think the lack of POW from the SGA Commander was one of the reasons I didn't get into the show.

Then again, the main reason for my disaffection was that I kept forgetting to watch it!

Yeah it rapidly turned into a show about how embarrassingly bad the commander was.. but then cool stuff happened and some of the characters got interesting. By that stage I was fond of its silliness.

Hey, I finally saw the finale of warehouse 13...

Is Jane going to turn bad next season cuz she's holding that darned bracelet without a purple glove?

Is Artie gonna turn back time with that watch?

Is there something going on between Myka and HG beyond 2 alpha females "professionally" bonding?

I'd really like to see the "Divine Miss M" come back next season, but I don't think I can handle her being a heartless witch.

Hmm, I didn't get that vibe from Jane and the glove, but I'm with you, I really don't want to her to be a baddie next season. Of course, she's pretty damn sexy as a baddie...

I did get that vibe from Myka and HG! And the actress that plays HG is on that CW show Ringer with Sarah Michelle Gellar that my sister got me into. (

) I have a girl-crush on her as HG, but don't like her at all as whats-her-name on the other show.

"What's her name"???? Yeah, that sounds like the deathknell for your girl crush.

Of course, you could always reignite it by watching the first 3 episodes of Starz "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena".

I know, I know... one of my "trek" friends has a huge crush on Connor Trinneer from his work on SGA... someday I'll get back to it, if only to check out RP.

Hey Teacake, do you watch Warehouse 13?

This looks like such an amazing opportunity, both to give to a good cause and to meet the Auburn Queen. I'm just...way too chicken. I get star-struck. I really suck at meeting celebrities.

Especially when the meeting costs $4250!

^ No kidding! I do think KM would be a really fun person to have a glass (or bottle...) of wine with.

JanewayRulz! · December 9 2011, 07:49 PM

She'd be fun to have lunch with... but even I

couldn't justify spending that much money for an hour.

JanewayRulz! · December 16 2011, 11:26 PM

This technically off topic, since there's NOT ONE

mention of Pete's Mom in the entire rant... but this video is too funny for the Warehouse 13 fandom to keep it hidden.
