*~*~The Great J/C Thread~*~*

[Galekarens]

Well, Kate did say in a recent interview that she would play Janeway again, so maybe that thing isn't quite done for her (see Trektoday or the Vamb site). But I guess unless she does ever play the part again (my fantasy is a J/C cartoon), it is done. But, for me KJ is alive, no matter what PB says, hooray for fanfics and Janeway Lives (thank goodness).

I'm not overly suprised, that Kate would be lighthearted about her alter-ego's passing in the novels. Saddened, still, yes, but then, fan perspective is different, naturally, and I am sure she respects those who are devoted to her character.It certainly hasn't, and won't stop me from writing Janeway continuing on along...I have been writing Voyager as I would've preferred it-and no, not as an 'alternate universe' or timeline, merely that's my mindset, it's as if it were the real McCoy...the one problem re Kath I had, was that being an admiral pidgeonholed her, and seeing her briefly in Nemesis was great-she surely had the goods for the job- but, a captaincy is her true calling....as Bones himself ref'd Kirk in 'The Lost Years', she is of 'the quarterdeck breed', born to explore the stars...but, post-Endgame,it's either pretend she's not promoted, find a more meaty role for Admiral Kath, or ...gasp..demote her. Maybe that 'buck the system' tendency in Future-Kath started a little earlier....

Me too considering the books aren't canon and will have no influence on whether or not she gets to play Janeway again.

 

[Galekarens]

But aren't the books kind of considered semi-canon (the only official media left xcept for Abrams movies), since there aren't any filmed or other commercial media in the offing? (Just wondering, thanks.) If, something really amazing happened and there was a filmed (canon) Janeway again (which I'm not anticipating), would the Trek books (Voyager or otherwise, except I guess nuTrek) then have to reflect that? Or not? It's kind of complicated, I know, and not that important in world events, but it might be nice to get that all straight in the Trek fan part of my mind, if possible, ha.

As I understand it, the books are not canon. If TPTB want to make another movie with Janeway in it, she is alive and well as an admiral, as we saw her in Nemesis.

Indeed. That's why the Q scene was added since Paramount wanted to keep all their options open. If Janeway did appear in a film Pocket would need to either ignore it or figure out a way to bring her back.

 

[Galekarens]

Thanks all, yes, if KJ was filmed somewhere (again, don't anticipate it), and there was a book based on the film (which there usually is), I would guess Pocket Books couldn't exactly ignore her presence in something that would be considered canon.

But, meanwhile, PB is the only "official" media Voyager is appearing in, so their treatment of KJ still makes it difficult for those who don't want her gone from print. Well, for me, guess will just have to now ignore PB!

 

[Frazzled]

Yup, ignoring PB seems to be the way to go Galekarens

For the times when my imagination doesn't let me do that (I'm way too conformist for my own good) I'm bloody glad Paramount (or whatever they're called now) insisted on the Q thing to keep their options open. As it also said at the end of That Damned Book, there are always possibilities

Is it real that Paramount insisted on the rescue of KJ's spirit by Q?

But I'm afraid that Paramount won't use this possibility.

IMO, unfortunately, there won't be a new ST movie with Kate after Paramount launched the new series with ST XI.

Speaking of new movies with JC... I made a small one:
Nature Boy & Starfleet Captain: One Magic Day They Met.
Pure JC for drooling LOL.... and to forget this damned books.

Love it! How nice to see some of the best bits together

Very cool.

 

[Praetor]

I think Paramount insisted on the 'Q loophole' so if they ever decided to bring Janeway back, PB could use that on their own to retcon how she came back. It wouldn't be something acknowledged in the official production, methinks.

 

[Frazzled]

You mean, they'd plunge right in, have her alive in a film with no explanation, and then when asked why in the publicity they'd say she must've been brought back by Q after he saved her?

Not that it's likely to happen, but I'm allowed to wish!

 

[Praetor]

^Probably. Last time we saw her, she was an Admiral. We have no idea where Voyager or any of the crew were at that time, either. 'Officially.'

 

[Kathryn J.]

Until Janeway finally comes back (I hope so!!!), let's think of better days when we all were truly believing in a happy ending for JC!

I think if they put her in a film they wouldn't worry about explaining the Pocket Book death since it's not canon.

Good! Too bad we even have to think about it at all, oh well, thanks, GS.

I try my best not to.

 

[Kataaran]

Problem is I can't see there being a film set in the TNG-era now that we have XI. I'd love to be wrong though. I'm not buying anymore Pocket books these days because of that book.

I'm with you on this one.
