    Picard had the Inner Light and Chain of Command as well acted episodes. Sisko had the Visitor and Far Beyond the Stars. Which Janeway episodes were stand-out acting ones?

    Yeah, Season 2's "Resistance" with her working with the guy driven mad by guilt is a great showcase for Janeway.

    Resistance and Workforce are ones that come to mind first.

    I'd go with Endgame. I can completely forget I'm watching an Actress talking to herself.

    I think Equinox was one of the best realistic Trek Episodes in entire series. Trek captains and leaders are portrayed as one dimensional characters. Rarely if ever flawed and often cut out characters IMHO of surreal leadership.

    Real leaders are flawed individuals - Equinox displayed a side of Janeway brilliantly acted to Mulgrew that illustrates how even well intentioned and disciplined leaders can and do lose it.

    That's true, I bet that was hard to do.

    Yeah, but that wasn't the first time Mulgrew had done that on a Voyager episode, and Ryan did it once as well.

    Yeah, the illusion is perfect. I couldn't tell that Mulgrew was acting against nothing. She always says how difficult it was filming those Captain/Adm. scenes.

    Right, she'd done it in "Deadlock" and I loved that scene as well!!!

    I'm drawing a blank, when did Ryan do it.

    "Relativity"

    It's a short scene in the mess hall during a table tennis tournament.

    Oh yeah, and your right it was a short, blink and you miss it, scene.

    Mulgrew also did it in the "Photons be Free" ep, IIRC.

    "Author, Author", and you are correct, sort of.

    Her double stands in to show the back of the captain's head as Janeway plays the medical character, IIRC. I don't think there's a face-to-face, split screen thing going on there.

    I could be completely wrong, though. I can't check youtube right now.

    Yes there is a face-to-face shot, I just watched that episode yesterday. But only a short one. And the episode is called "Author, Author" ;) Well if we count those, then she also did it in Coda, when Janeway1 lies dead on the biobed in sickbay and Janeway2 is trying to convince the computer to confirm her voice pattern.

    I agree with Workforce! Great episode. Nice to see a different side of Janeway. I loved how she was really annoyed by Amal Kotay! :lol:
