i'm a little late to this argument, but why do fans who are upset over janeway's literary death get so much scorn and ridicule heaped on them by the rest of the trek fandom? it seems that if it had been picard or sisko there would be just as much, it not more, uproar. it seems a tad elitist.
Hmmm, I've never thought about it that way before. If Picard or Sisko died then I would definitely quit the books.
Janeway though, whereas I like her character, I could continue on without.
