I really think there's a cumu...Don't sweat it, Jay! I really think there's a cumulative effect at work and I spent way too much time either thinking about, discussing or reading about all things Trek at some point.<BR/><BR/>If you hear enough Janeway bashing, it's bound to affect the way to remember and then perceive the character. Similarly, you see Picard in a good light even in early episodes when he wasn't so well characterized.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-9928423489187973112008-05-29T10:47:00.000-03:002008-05-29T10:47:00.000-03:00Yeah, probably crazy. ;)Yeah, probably crazy. ;)Jayunderscorezerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611897906121531154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-57363877231112915402008-05-29T10:46:00.000-03:002008-05-29T10:46:00.000-03:00The strange thing is, my first experience of Voyag...The strange thing is, my first experience of Voyager actually <I>was</I> of watching the show daily and in sequence. I missed much of it on its first run, but caught the daily early-evening reruns on Sky One some years ago. Yet still I missed her "tyrannical" nature. <BR/><BR/>Either I'm crazy or myopic, or I must have simply chalked all of her actions up to her unique situation, and figured that many of the other featured captains would have acted similarly, given the circumstances, and so didn't see anything necessarily "wrong" with the way that she behaved.Jayunderscorezerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611897906121531154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-35677115680016164102008-05-29T07:28:00.000-03:002008-05-29T07:28:00.000-03:00I'd say it's an observation particular to watching...I'd say it's an observation particular to watching an entire series daily and in sequence.<BR/><BR/>The cumulative impression I got from its 7 years the first time around was that Janeway was tyrannical all the way through. Either that happens more and more, or those instances were so memorable that they choked all other impressions of her.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-78688640770580936722008-05-29T06:48:00.000-03:002008-05-29T06:48:00.000-03:00I really am going to have to re-watch Voyager some...I really am going to have to re-watch Voyager someday, keeping in mind all of your comments about Janeway's shifting character. 'Cause I have to say, I really didn't notice all these changes the first time around. Then again, I guess I wasn't really looking for them.Jayunderscorezerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611897906121531154noreply@blogger.com
