    I agree, asking Weaver to be Janeway is like asking King Kong to be Curious George.

    I also thought Kathleen Turner could have pulled it off.

    Actually I think Sigourney Weaver might have been better as a commander of Deep Space Nine.

    The Janeway character only used her sexuality twice in 7 years, Counterpoint and that one where she pretends to be a prostitute to break into prison. That fact held in hand, I don't see why there would be any problem with any actress given the role being haggard and craggy like a 70 year old pop icon.

    You're making me feel like an old man.

    Though you saw the episode of friends where Chandlar picks Jessica Rabbit as one of 5 five allowable exclusions from a monogamous relationship? That's high praise, considering Junior Bing has to get past the incest stigma to tap that.

    There was an episode of Nip Tuck a couple years back were she addressed how her voice was getting too deep for her work as a "phone sex artist" and she required surgery to make her sound younger and less manly. Her catch phrase was "Cindi Plumb will make you cum".

    Then I should further explain that 5 years after Matthew Perry made the comment about Jessica Rabbit, they cast Kathleen Turner as his transgendered Vegas lounge singing Father.

    "Sigh"

    I’m too accustomed to Mulgrew as Janeway so I wouldn’t want that to change.
    What would work for me is Weaver as a captain of her own ship on a couple of Voyager episodes.
    Janeway and Capt. Weaver teaming up to protect humanity, the universe and of course their own ships and crews would be entertaining.

    Just seen the clip of Bujold on youtube the person who posted the clip put the specal effects in and cleaned up the sound but made no difference can't beleive they got it so wrong if she had stayed i think it would have been canned by the end of the season.

    Transvestite. ;) Chandler's father was still a man, he just wore a dress.

    Wait... actually, no. Transvestites are only straight men.

    Chandler's father was a Drag Queen.

    I believe that Mr Garibaldi would be the judge of that.

    Sexual orientation doesn't have any impact on wardrobe.

    And it doesn't have to be obvious, I used to have a girlfriend who would always steal my clothes when hers got dirty.

    I saw Bujold for the first time the other day too.

    Nicole made Kathryn sound like a helium accident run amok.

    Sisko? Nah.

    She'd make a kickass Kira, though.
