Kate Mulgrew at the 2017 Star Trek Convention

[@PicardManeuver]

Kate Mulgrew is a national treasure.

[@resurrectedstarships]

These conventions re so incredibly positive and uplifting when the fans have questions.

[@renatateofilo9887]

Heather, thank you very much for all your posts. You're very kind to all of us who wish to be there but couldn't. Live long and prosper.

[@StarfleetUnderground]

renata teofilo Thank you!!! 💖

[@StormLaker]

She is an amazing actress, I remember seeing her on TV as a kid. I really gained an appreciation for her during her time on Star Trek...she really tied the cast together well. She reminds me a bit of my mother-in-law, very intelligent and articulate.

[@valeriepollet6843]

Thank you for this. She was a great captain and she is a wonderful woman !

[@mattb2842]

She's got a really unique tone to her voice.

[@loonylovesgood]

When Robbie MacNeill came out, I damn near lost it. How adorable are they!!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks for this, Heather! Mulgrew is such a unique talent. I just love watching/listening to her in unscripted moments (such as at a convention) or doing what she does so well in her tv (and beyond) projects!

[@OnTheRocks71]

Really enjoyed this one, Kate is such a great storyteller.

[@RedMage409]

She always reminds me of my grandmother. Both Irish, same voice, very similar features, even similar personalities. Love Kate Mulgrew!

[@PM-mf8wd]

Kate is looking fantastic, saw her last year at the Khan and her talk was so in-depth and personal. Really the female equal to Kirk and Shatner.

[@lestersys]

Thank you so much for sharing this! Wonderful to be able to hear her speak live and so candidly.

[@hanniffydinn6019]

Thanks for posting this….I'm watching voyager again now……love it...

[@60jscott]

I loved her in Star Trek and after watching this video, she is impressive as a real person too, at least form what I have observed here. Way to go Kate, and thank you Heather for making and posting this video.

[@rnhtube]

Something interesting I've noticed is that Shatner, Stewart, Brooks, and Mulgrew are all people well suited for one man shows or spoken word performances.

[@NancyClassicWhoDrew]

Omg I love this, she's such an amazing person! She'd be a kick to hang out with. I'd love to meet her one day. Even though I just found Voyager, I absolutely adore it. I definitely think she'd the best Captain in Trek. Thank you so much for this upload! Wonderful quality too, much better than the norm!

[@annebensler5841]

I love rewatching these panels with Kate because they just stay interesting and funny. She is so great with people. I've never seen any other celebrity so completely at ease with people who have trouble speaking or who have other issues than this lady. It never throws her off and she always lifts them up. Intelligent, honest and graceful.

[@user-br6cu5jm1q]

Loved her. This convention was thrilling!!!!!

[@Brandon-yx9qy]

I just discovered these videos of the panels. Voyager is what got me into star trek, and it is still my favorite series. Go ahead, give me all the hate you want. But thank you from the bottom of my heart for these, Heather!

[@StarfleetUnderground]

My pleasure

[@Dancestar1981]

Bob The Builder It’s my favourite Star Trek too

[@AlannahRyane]

And Thank you especially for this recording Kate was powerful in her characters but even more so personally very admirable woman.

[@xKimxMeganxMerylx]

I cannot thank you enough for recording and uploading this.

[@1965Chava]

Thank you Heather

[@a.hollins8691]

What a great storyteller.

[@Claudje9]

i have been watching youtube the entire day for this one!! tnx!!!!💕

[@Evitable]

Kate is awesome.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

42:20 I still shipped Janeway and Chakotay. They had more chemistry than Seven and Chakotay had.

[@Dancestar1981]

Sarah Kinsey me too

[@mck2021]

I concur!! The Seven and Chakotay story line was such a nonsense in the last episode and undermined the enduring tenderness between Chakotay and Janeway from the start of the series.

[@canisqmajoris]

Despite the disclaimer about the perils of live video, I find that your recordings have all been consistently great. That can't be easy to pull off! Thanks so much for putting in all the time and effort to film and upload everything! I hope you enjoy the process even a bit as much as we enjoy seeing the results. Cheers!

[@landocalrisian2014]

I definitely would LOVE to see Captn Janeway in a Star Trek movie.

[@xShwirleyx]

Thank you so much for uploading this!

[@AnnieWarbux]

Kate is a wonderful speaker and I cannot wait to read her books!!

[@TheTuubster]

19:40 Robert Duncan McNeill comes in

[@rkmugen]

RDM: "It's Paris and Janeway...." Chakotay: (forgets his line) "........................... how do YOU know?"

[@יהודיתברלב]

She never explained, when talking about romantic relationship, how come she and Chakotay looked at one another with so much love, he even with longing. Janeway must have loved him, and he said that she was giving in too much to the Prime Directive. at least at the end they could have showed something of what they really felt.

[@Streisand1HorseLover]

Love you so much Kate. I'm the first commenter on this. 😙😙😙 my love.

[@MontagZoso]

Boy was it great to give the 500th thumbs up on this, thank you so much for uploading these fabulous Voyager panels! 😊

[@skyevaske3265]

thank you so much for posting these!!! looking forward to any more you may have😝

[@adamkatt]

I love Kate, so awesome.

[@PJsFirstChannel]

Thanks again.

[@chucklesuk]

Thanks for all the vids Heather cheers.

[@spike7101]

What a legend and obviously such a nice lady :)

[@JCResDoc94]

heather, your bravery inspires me to choose happiness ^^

[@StarfleetUnderground]

Awwwww

[@charlestran7309]

Kate is very beautiful. Such an amazing actress and person.

[@StefenTower]

Some of us are old enough to know her as Mrs. Columbo. She's been good in everything I've seen her do.

[@vanmoody]

As a born and bred Hoosier, I was always pleased to have Capt Janeway to be from Bloomington,IN.

[@intheair1987]

OMG she is so wonderful. She is intelligent and an absolutely incredible actress, and when she talked about what Red said was in regards to "aging with grace" instead of superficial beauty, she showed really how deep she is. When I heard about what happened between Jerri and Kate, I was like so disappointed and I didn't want to know about that, but now I realized that it didn't mean that anyone of them was terrible, it's just that we all have our temper and insecurities, and we've all done something that we could have handled better. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us :))

[@TKinfinity01]

Jasper T. Doesn’t excuse her for treating Jeri like shit.

[@intheair1987]

TKinfinity There’s no excuse there. I’m sure it’s been tormenting her. I’ve done something wrong too so I know how it feels. Btw they made up.

[@TKinfinity01]

Jasper T. I’m glad to hear they made up. If Jeri forgave her than that’s all I’ll need to do the same.

[@david203]

I loved Kate Mulgrew in her movie "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins", where she played an intelligent and clever woman who could adapt to any situation.

[@MrGrownman455]

Put Kate back in a Star Trek Series!!

[@Dancestar1981]

MrGrownman455 it’s high time they did and not just less than two minutes screen time like they did in Nemesis

[@Dancestar1981]

trha2222 I heard that the powers that be just nixed it

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

Q's Nephew in death wish? I think it is safe to say Voyager is just a blur for her with how hard the work is as a Trek cast member.

[@bodieofci5418]

Met her at Blackpool 2001. She is a really nice lady

[@sharonz3337]

STAR TREK VOYAGER will always be one of my favorite. For the series. I saw test ones with Genevieve Bujold for position of captain. It was obvious she wasn't right for the part, it just didn't seem to click or feel right. I'm so glad Kate Mulgrew got it , she was made for doing the part. It felt right ,was obvious after she played it for abit. My other favorite. Was the original Star Trek😋😋. Always adored William Shatner, I've also watched some of his other series too😊😊

[@comicdude1996]

Good job at recording Heather.

[@StarfleetUnderground]

Thanks!

[@fanirama]

Capt Janeway was the best captain of them all imo.

[@Demiurge13]

was this sarcasm or are you actually serious? Because if you are that deluded, I have a piece of real estate on the moon to sell you.

[@markj.beukema2131]

Captain James T. Kirk

[@MontagZoso]

fxp Agreed!

[@Negasuki]

@fxp oh damn.. you stated an opinion on the internet.... let the subspace internet galactic war begin....

[@Knttsq]

Ben Sisko.

[@victorperry1265]

What I learned from you is persistence and to never give... Captain Janeway accomplished her goal and getting her crew home. It was that same persistence she displayed much younger in a competition despite being deterred by a storm that most others would have used as an excuse not to even try.

[@victorperry1265]

Not to give up!!!

[@carlotta4th]

I think Janeway and Chakotay flirting was very sweet and I was definitely rooting for them--but then I do still agree with Mulgrew that it wouldn't have made sense for the characters to pursue it. I mean, the two highest ranking officers of a ship dating? It wouldn't be done. It would compromise their ability to act in one another's place. And the same is true of any other crew member really, Chakotay might have been able to have a relationship with someone else but Janeway wouldn't have allowed herself that. She had too many lives on her plate to get distracted, it is literally a luxury she couldn't afford.

[@robaronanuestraperritapero8681]

Gracias,su papel de Lider centrada, afectiva y equilibrada, y dice mucho a mujeres que no saben como desempeñarse como jefes

[@LePfannenwender83]

There's coffee in this Starbucks cup!

[@justinnewton7366]

LePfannenwender83 There's coffee in that nebula!!

[@gestaltdude]

The subtitles generated by YT can be really hit and miss. When Kate started talking about her youth, her statement, "I was born in Dubuque, Iowa," suddenly became, "I was born to be violent!" :D

[@davidiusk]

DOWN IN FRONT!

[@keanucange]

Can we rely on you to film the 2018 convention panels too? :P

[@StarfleetUnderground]

Some guy Yep. I totally plan on doing this again next year. 👍 😁

[@Wizardofgosz]

I'm going next year, myself.

[@-M0LE]

Heather Ferris your hot and you love Sci Fi........wife goals!! Also what’s your fave Sci Fi show

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

Wow this is the best she has looked in several years.

[@jcampezzi1027]

Remo Williams love your Buttons.

[@viperhalberd]

Heather, that you compensated for an inconsiderate and unpredictable audience, I thank you for your camera skills and your ability to adapt. The Borg would be envious.

[@StarfleetUnderground]

Thank you. I really appreciate that.

[@czdaniel1]

43:07 "As we all know, they did" -- Is that a nod to the Seven--Janeway shippers? 42:49

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

While I respect Mulgrew greatly, I disagree with her instance that Janeway not have a romantic relationship with Chakotay. A relationship would not have diminished her role down to her gender or made her less of a leader. The opposite is true. It would have shown more of a dynamic complex side of the character that never really got explored. Even though she had a few flings here and there, Janeway mostly seemed asexual throughout the series, a trait even the stoic Picard didn't have. As long as the writing staff didn't go off the deep end with Janeway getting pregnant or something, an organic romantic relationship with Chakotay would have aided the show, not taken away from it. Just my two cents.

[@Linerunner99]

Agreed.. we also wouldn't have gotten that terrible last minute forced hook up between Chakotay and Seven.

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

I didn't really mind the Chakotay/Seven relationship as much as most fans. I mean it kinda makes sense -- the ice queen he wanted wouldn't put out, so he went for the hot cheerleader. It's highschool all over again.

[@Linerunner99]

It might have made sense... if it had been developed rather than written literally into the last 6 or so shows of the series just to have *someone* other than Paris and Torres get together.

[@saltlakedood]

I read an article today where Jeri Ryan talked about an on set feud someone had with her and I guessed it was Kate and someone in the comments confirmed it. Jeri said that it cleared up once she started dating Braga. Maybe Braga was pissed that Kate was doing that so then later had Chakotay get together with Seven?! On another note, I saw Kate Mulgrew in her one woman show Tea At Five where she plays, funnily enough, Katherine Hepburn. It was very good.

[@vanmoody]

Yes, but he was not having relations with a senior officer. I do remember Janeway had a, "thing" with a hologram. Come to think of it wasn't she married? She commented about a man back on Earth and I assumed he was her husband.

[@dianaAthemiscyra]

Remo Williams?

[@Dancestar1981]

dianaAthemiscyra that’s a fun movie and you could argue a training ground for the development of the characteristics that would make Janeway great

[@kelly89420]

Heather, is that you in your picture? If so, you look like a young nana visitor :)

[@StarfleetUnderground]

Thanks! I look a bit different now. If you go to my facebook page that I have linked to, you can see an updated picture of me at this year's Star Trek convention.

[@kelly89420]

NOOO! Go back to short hair and get yourself an orange onepiece haha :)

[@StarfleetUnderground]

hahahahaha

[@askauntbianca7753]

Kate Mulgrew is a consummate storyteller. I so appreciate her talent.

[@skyboss0064]

RIP Ms Mulgrew

[@StarfleetUnderground]

You know... She's not dead. She's alive. Troll

[@skyboss0064]

Listen u rectum......dey say she dead....how should I know dey lying........go 2 hell DUNCE

chubby tom paris is kinda cute

[@freejunk2]

3:12..you don't??

[@Dan-uv5lw]

Ferengi Intruders.

[@citytrees1752]

Kate is great but I can't watch due to the whoopers and talkers sitting right in front of the camera. So annoying.

[@crumbum2]

As an Iowan, I would like to admit I and all my friends and family voted for Hillary, not Don the Con.

[@a.hollins8691]

People lump Iowa in with the rest of the flyover states infected by the GOP, but it has its own unique, independent political climate. Kudos.

[@Bill_Woo]

crumbum2, STFU. It's not just your family and work that don't want to hear that crap.

[@chrisThurt4269]

I have a feeling man of those who voted for Mr. Trump are now regretting that decision. Sounded like Mr. Shatner was not in agreement with everything Mr. Trump has been doing either. HOwever, I doubt the Character of James T. Kirk would have voted for any private C.E.O. to be President Of The Federation.

[@Bill_Woo]

Please keep your pussy political opinions out of entertainment. All that the Trek celebrities do is inspire hate when they open their mouth on it. Ironically, being a Trek celebrity is about a loving and adoring fan relationship. Their political asshattery just destroys that. How ironic.

[@richardschiller7803]

KZbin has Star Trek Renegade and it sucks. Too dark, No lights. And no light character at all in it. You would think they would know this without OBrian or Worf being able to improve Deep Space 9 which was also dark, gloomy, and dragging, and serious etc.

[@AthanImmortal]

Heather, do you know who the interviewer is by any chance? It hasn't said in any of the descriptions so far. I caught Adam, but that was it. And thank you again Heather for putting these up.

[@StarfleetUnderground]

I'm sorry. I don't know who the interviewer is. All I know is that his first name is Adam. I feel bad cause I should know him. I see him every year -_-

[@AthanImmortal]

I found him! His name is Adam Malin for future reference :)

[@Bill_Woo]

As a point of reference and to avoid confusion, one Adam is Leonard's son Adam Nimoy who has some public visibility in the Trek world, including conducting Trek star interviews. Google "For the Love of Spock"

[@mrdot1126]

[@TKinfinity01]

A real shame she treated Jeri Rian like shit.

[@AlanSmitheeman]

Amazingly arrogant person. I thought Shatner was the hardest personality to take! But like Shatner, she can entertain a crowd.

[@mck2021]

She's fine. What are you on about? Because she's not crying in the corner?

[@AlanSmitheeman]

@@mck2021 Who said anything about crying? Go seek out other interviews with her if you'd like. I'm done with both of you.

[@Demiurge13]

never really liked her...

[@StormsparkPegasus]

Barring a few good episodes, Voyager was overall a terrible series, and Janeway was a terrible character. But I don't blame Kate for that at all, she did the best job she could with utterly terrible writing. Her character was so badly written noone could've done it any better. The later seasons did get a little better, but only because she demanded more control over the way her character was written.

[@doctari1061]

Voyager would have been better if they just replaced Kate Mulgrew with Jeri Ryan because Mulgrew is a shitty actress compared to Jeri Ryan. They should have focused on 7 of 9 character from episode 1 and killed off Janeway for constantly repeating mistakes and never plugging repeated security holes. Kate Mulgrew sucked as an actress. Not even close to Jeri Ryan in acting skills.

[@Daisy-ef6bq]

She's a bit chubby.

[@vanmoody]

Good grief she is 62 yrs old. People gain weight as they get older.

[@Herowebcomics]

You mean THICC right?!

[@woohahcatrim9780]

Thank you!
