Janeway did fight, kill, destroy, intimidate, threaten, battle and overcome many enemies and completely use an authoritarian hand for the love of her life ...

Coffee

If earth, the human race and the federation had stood in her way for a carafe of Columbian coffee, she would have destroyed us all.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

love of her life ...

Coffee

When they established communications with Starfleet again and got the letter that Mark moved on she was just like "Meh, I knew he would probably move on" lmfao

But do NOT fuck with her Coffee lol

[-] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I'm trying to remember and too lazy to rewatch or look it up.

Didn't Neelix make a coffee substitute that was as good? It was when they were trying to save on replicator rations.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Well he made a coffee substitute, but it was a sludge like consistency, but I don't remember her drinking it. Neelix poured it and she saw the sludge but then got called to the bridge

[-] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think it's the sludge one. I remember he made something that the captain liked...I'm going to have to rewatch the series again to find it.

[-] gens@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

More like tolerated. I don't remember which episode, sry.

[-] Magnetar@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

There's coffee in that nebula.

[-] negativenull@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

That's a nice twist ending there!!! Well done!

I want a “Someone get this woman some goddammed coffee” tattoo. I don’t care that I’m a cis male. The people who matter will get it.

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 1 year ago

I mean... Coffee is the love of her life.

[-] Fester@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

When the love of her life left her, she washed her hands and went to the replicator for another cup.

[-] thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago

On a different note, what surprised me the most afted rewatching voyager's pilot after a good 15 years is that Janeway had a boyfriend/husband/partner. I mean he was mentioned in at least another episode during 1st season but I'm pretty sure he has been forgotten by then

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 year ago

Oh, Mark comes up a few times. We eventually learn that he got married sometime after Starfleet gave up on Voyager being found.

[-] thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I had a look at Memory Alpha and you are right, he is mentioned. Yet it was so forgettable that I removed it every time I rewatched the show

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

There’s light commentary later before she finds companionship in fair haven, but essentially she sees how stranded she is and it’s posed to her as inappropriate to partner with someone under her command.

For the most part though, we do forget about her boyfriend and she has flings with a few guys along her way.

[-] VindictiveJudge@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago

she sees how stranded she is and it’s posed to her as inappropriate to partner with someone under her command.

Which is a damn shame given all the looks she and Chakotay shared. And that time they thought they were going to be stuck alone together forever.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah I think they’d have made an appropriate power couple after bonding like that.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Including Paris, if my memory serves me right.

I admit the last time I watched Voyager, was when it was on broadcast TV...

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You’re correct but that was a warp 10 fiasco where they were another form of life so they agreed not to count it. B’Elanna would shred Paris to pieces.

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

they had offspring. there was a peer-reviewed paper published about it in 2018.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Oh I know too well about their offspring, I often think about their lives after the captain and her pet convict left.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They did, but they were newts at the time. They got bettah.

[-] Pharmacokinetics@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

If we are doing the whole strong female characters BS I present you Kira Nerys.

Fought a genocidal occupation all her youth
Became one of the leading figures in a massive space station orbiting her world
Fought the dominion
Placed aside her hatred for the Cardassians
Matured and grew to be a wise woman

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Janeway was more upset about losing her dog than her husband. And I feel that.

Kathy just programs up a holographic vibrator then deletes his wife. She's into the kinky shit.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Lol I remember that

Computer, one last change.

Delete the WIFE

[-] DroneRights@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Hey remember that time Hermione triggered a rape victim's PTSD because she thought it was funny?

[-] tryptaminev@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

I just heard the 7th book as an audiobook last week. The amount of unforgiveable curses just casually casted by "the good guys" is staggering.

Seems to Rowlin the ends justify the means.

[-] DroneRights@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Oh, and when they're staying at Grimmauld place over christmas, they decide to add some festive cheer by putting the severed slave heads in little santa hats and beards

[-] storcholus@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

Wait what?

[-] DroneRights@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Umbridge shows up in book 6 or 7, and she's got PTSD from whatever the centaurs did to her. Based on the myths about centaurs, it would appear to have been rape. Hermione says "watch this", and makes clip-clop horsey sounds and Umbridge has a panic attack. Harry and Ron laugh.

[-] storcholus@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

The myths about centaurs in the books or in classic mythology. Because the Harry potter centaurs did not give me a rapey vibe and I would consider them on their own

[-] Zoboomafoo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

"The love of her life"

Ron Weasley? Are you sure?

[-] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, they must be referring to the Hogwarts library...

[-] dejected_warp_core@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

While I know this is done for humor's sake, I really love this critique.

Similar to the Bechdel Test, this comesvery close to perfectly illustrating the Mako Mori Test:

The requirements of the Mako Mori test are that a film or television show has at least one female character and that this character has an independent plot arc and that the character or her arc does not simply exist to support a male character's plot arc.[2]

I know this is a joke, but I'm not sure we should joke about how different people grieve.

All are valid expressions of grief.
