She succumbs to that grief to the point where she refuses to live in a life where she has to live with the choices she made and then kills herself to make sure she can undo them.
She overcomes her grief to the point where she gives up a safe, certain outcome for something which is risky, but worthwhile.
YMMV, but thanks for playing!
Define worth while?
And define risky?
Admiral Janeway is an idiot.
Her great plan was kneecapped by her youngerselfs need for glory( it wasn't a nearly almost operational game changing Death star, this transit System had been up and running for decades if not hundreds of years AND THERE WAS SIX OF THEM!.) and she hardly brang all the toys and tools she needed to fight borg 40 years her junior ( I watched the Final Countdown yesterday. A USS Aircraft Carrier from 1980 sails through a time window to December 6th 1941 and they have to decide if they're going to engage the Japanese fleet before it attacks Pearl Harbour... It's exactly the same shit except with backbone.) Which should have been a piece of cake if she wanted to go about a mission with zero risk. There's nothing that happened by Admiral Janeways capture that wouldn't happen any time that Icheb was captured and the Doctor was an idiot is every one wasn't carrying his virus (so that suddenly the Borg and the federation are hammering out protected planet treaties where they only inoculate portions of the galaxy against the Borg in Return the Borg don't destroy all the inoculated planets. Well isn't that just a little bit Stargate season two and three?).
But Admiral Janeway chose a shitty plan instead of a good plan, two shitty plans really, instead of a good plan out of the gate her Youngerself couldn't find fault with because she's an idiot or that she wanted to die. Janeway is only an idiot emotionally. Or course there's the third option that Admiral Janeway is a Genius who offered a shitty plan on purpose because she knew everything would go much smother if the child version of herself thought that it was in charge and mistressing how the ducks were being lined up to attack the hub and Unimatrix 001. Why would Captain Janeway resist Captain Janeways plan(yes I meant to say that.)?
When the Admiral said that she knew it was going to be a one way mission it's kinda obvious that she never intended on going back and she couldn't stay and if she travelled home, great shades of Back to the Future, IT WOULDN'T EXIST... There'd be either another Admiral Janeway waiting for this Admiral Janeway in the future who is a different person telling this (lost and presumptuous)Admiral not to steal her life, her family and her shit (Tom Riker murdered a Clon... I mean Will Riker murdered his clone because ( I quote) the universe is only big enough for one Tom R.. I mean "Will Rikers". These women however, they'd frakking kill each other for their tennis trophies and winner gets to delete Marks wife since whacking that "bitch" (she stole her man, the language is accurate and in context. Haven't you listened to any Modern Country Music?) is going to be piss easy after filleting her doppelgänger for spare parts (for in case of emergency) after 12 rounds of foxey boxing with those broken shard glass boxing gloves... )or a smoking crater in space where the federation used to be... I can't believe I never asked this before but how can she go home if she is rewriting the time line, especially since Miral already tested the time travel device with a trip possibly of her own to make sure the bastard worked (which she said that it did.) that she didn't return to a mildly different universe already that she couldn't live with the guilt of erasing everyone she knew that she elected to allow mad old Janeway to exterminate her and the timeline she was standing on to put her own self out of her misery... Though why did Harry think that he was going to be demoted if the timeline was going to be destroyed out from under him as Janeway leaped back in time to put wrong which once went right?
Besides Korath had been playing with time for how long and he had failed so badly at trying to make the future perfect, exactly how stupid was he to think that even a sane federation officer wouldn't undo everything he had done to time to make him cool and the Klingons on top because unlike Annorax, maybe korath knew when to give up, but maybe he wasn't giving up playing with time more so than deciding that he would ride on Janeways shooting (craps metaphor? The Dude spent a decade hanging out in Las Vegas.) which means that he would have had temporal shields and the universe would change around him as Janeway changed the past if he wasn't a fool, and besides he only gave her one opportunity to see if she could make his universe better by chance than he could by design, and since he was shielded, Korath could have easily undone the Admirals alterations to the timeline without too much effort if he wasn't fond of her accomplishments... (How much of the Federation has temporal Shileds? How large a fleet does the Federation have standing outside of time looming for in case that some bastard doesn't try to destroy earth before the Voth left? It's altogether possibly that time and space is constantly changing around the 25th century Federation fleet and their key planets which are still inside time.)
Um.
My point?
She didn't over come her grief.
bottled it and ignored it.
but dealt with it?
Fuck that.
^ And endangers the whole frickin' galaxy in order to save a handful of people.
Which we should know from watching years of Trek, isn't true.
But if she "dangers" the entire fricking galaxy then she doesn't save anyone. She's potentially certainly killing everyone to maybe make everythign almost as good 40 years before the era she should care about?
Word for the day "Vagenda".
Of course, the original is still out there.
