Although it's hard to imagine anyone but Kate as Janeway, if any of you have see 'The Ice Storm' or 'Imaginary Heroes' you know she has the range to pull it off. I think she'd have been great, based on those performances. I really wonder how difficult it would have been to talk her into it? (Apparently she didn't want to do another 'Aliens' movie because it was to be set on Earth.)
*shudder* she was just awful. I am so glad that she turned tail and ran. Kate was fabulous as KJ

Ain't no thing but a chicken wing.
She definitely seems a lot "softer" than Kate Mulgrew's Janeway.
I mean more gentle-spoken. I like her accent, she could have become a Delenn-type character (Babylon 5 is you didn't already know who I meant), however I'm not sure if she would have had the strength of personality to make an effective Captain, especially in the situation Voyager was in.She could have been good in a non-captain role, though.
Thinking back on how Picard spent the first season going on about how much France ruled, I wonder if they would have had Nicole Janeway going on about "France" or "Canada"?
With all due respect to Sigourney Weaver, who seriously rocks... I think that for better or worse, Kate Mulgrew owned the role of Katherine Janeway from day one. She took that character and made her flesh and spirit and I think that we as Voyager fans were extremely lucky to have her. I think Janeway would have been a lesser character in anyone else's hands. Kate Mulgrew's performances are always watchable. Even when I was unhappy with the way something was written, I couldn't take my eyes off her. And when the character was written well, with Kate in the role, there was no possible way to improve on her perfection.
That's my opinion.
That's my opinion.
completely agree!! while there are a couple of actors who could've been interchangeable in their roles i've always thought that mulgrew, dawson, mcneill, and picardo completely owned their roles. i really do have a hard time seeing other actors in their roles (just as i will with the TOS crew in the new trek movie).With all due respect to Sigourney Weaver, who seriously rocks...

I would also agree about the others being cemented in their roles to a point, though I found that Kate was somehow able to spin gold from straw...while the others were stuck with straw or gold, depending on what they were given. This may be based solely on some sort of latent crush on her; I don't know. lol.
But suffice it to say, that even when I felt the writers faultered with Janeway (and I believe that they did), I never felt that Mulgrew let that stop her from giving it her all. 
Though (and granted, this isn't the same thing at all) it still annoys me that when Duncan was cast as Paris that they didn't change the character to Lacarno (who was played by the same actor with an almost identicle character history), or that Vorik wasn't changed to Taurik when Alexander Enberg got the Voyager role - as they ARE identicle - at the very least they could have referenced that the 2 Vulcans were relatives or something. Those are the kinds of behind the scenes choices that hurt my head.
As it was, it took me years to get over the the Paris thing, and I never quite got over the Vorik thing. Paris was easier to justify (to myself) because the characters were at least slightly different. Vorik had no such explanation.Sorry. I get to rambling and I get off track. It's one of my most annoying or endearing qualities depending on who you ask. lol
