The Ready Room | Kate Mulgrew's Ongoing Voyage | Paramount+

[@aeronwolfe7072]

i LOVE KATE MULGREW!!!! Kate, if you EVER see this, know that you are my favorite actress!!!! Captain Janeway is a constant inspiration to me!!!! Thank you so much for this character!!!!! NO ONE could have done it better!!!!

[@WilyWillyT]

As a boy/young teen back then watching Janeway, Mulgrew was right to think her presence and command did the heavy lifting (especially when the writers didn't know how to really write for her early on)

[@yomister2007]

Janeway has been mentioned TWICE in Picard. She MUST have another live-action role

[@WilyWillyT]

@@yomister2007 I'd love to see it, but I have my doubts unless we get another post-TNG/Voyager series

[@yomister2007]

@@WilyWillyT I do too. But I sure hope so

[@muttleycrew]

Spot on.

[@muttleycrew]

@@yomister2007 I know there was a bit of history between Kate Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan which was less than pleasant. I don't know if that was ever really dealt with but it would be lovely if there could be a Seven and Janeway reunion since on the show they had almost a mother/daughter dynamic sometimes and seeing how that turned out would be great. And as an aside, this season of Picard is really good, hope you're enjoying it as much as I am.

[@anthonyjames8530]

“That (Voyager) was MY ship!” You better say that Kate!!!! Who else teared up when she said that??? Just me?

[@hoihoipoipoi]

cried like a baby

[@emmabentley7945]

it gave me goosebumps as well... seriously hard hitting to hear my favourite captain say that... so amazing

[@dennissheridan2]

This interview was amazing. Kate sees Janeway in a way only she would be able to articulate. At times it felt like we were talking to the Admiral and not the actor. It honestly was an immense joy to see. And Wil, while I love him, has come across a bit forced in the past and not at all here.

[@muttleycrew]

Back in the day Captain Janeway was my favourite ST captain. She had a maternal sentiment for her crew but was as tough as nails when making command decisions. That balance of her character being tough on the outside and soft in the middle made her endlessly interesting and Kate Mulgrew played her to perfection.

[@georgehill8285]

This is one of the best interviews on this show!

[@EddieDexterStewart]

It brought tears to my eyes. A wonderful interview.

[@The_Real_Danger_Mouse]

Kathryn Janeway moved me more than any other captain. I love that Kate Mulgrew came back to give her life again. ❤❤❤ Additional: I also loved the salamander reference.

[@planet2]

Who can forget she had kids with Thomas Paris when both converted to salamander!

[@xxclokwerkzxx6438]

Will Wheaton is "Crushing" it in these interviews!

[@scoxocs]

She's been brilliant this season, not only playing two versions of Janeway, but the Dal possession was spectacular. In my headcanon, Prodigy is to Voyager, as Picard is to TNG (minus Seven). I hope we get visits from Tuvok, Harry, Neelix, the EMH, B'Elana, Tom, or others.

[@TaraPolen-]

Agree 100% re Kate and the analogy. Agree about 84% on the Voyager legacy characters. 😉

[@quietearthMT78]

Prodigy season 1 was really surprising and impressive. The finale definitely had me tearing up in places.

[@ScoundrelLB]

Truth be told Wil, I was never a fan of Wesley Crusher during the run of TNG. That said, you are so great in hosting this KZbin channel. Your love, respect, knowledge and excitement for this franchise is absolutely infectious. Time and again, you say things that might be cringe from anyone else, but when it's from you, it just feels genuine and truly moving. Your interviews with the actors and technicians from the various Star Trek shows is always spot-on and enlightening, and this interview with Kate Mulgrew might be the very best so far. So thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@karkajouautomaton4882]

As TrekCulture said, Dal got the kind of character growth arc Wesley should have gotten.

[@michaelgarrity6090]

I have greatly enjoyed this season of Prodigy. I think it is some of the best Star Trek yet. It's great for a long time and aging fan such as myself, having watched the original series as a young boy on actual television broadcasting back in the late 1960s and it's a great way for children to be introduced to all the elements of Star Trek that made it so popular all these decades later. It was sad to see Holographic Janeway sacrifice herself but it's going to be great to see Admiral Janeway in the next season. I think the Hageman brothers are the best of the Star Trek show runners. They really know, love and appreciate the things that have made Star Trek great.

[@MaybeAnnatar]

As a girl from Indiana, I'm obligated to have Janeway as a hero.

[@ssia6938]

Having two Janeways was a treat. Now that Admiral Janeway is directly involved with the kids, I hope to see more Voyager crew. Would love to see Tuvok, Harry, B’Elanna, or Tom. From this interview it’s clear Mulgrew IS Janeway.

[@lissadawes4243]

I’m so so happy for Wil!! He’s such a pro at this.

[@shinichifarkas8051]

Great interview and powerful finale episode. How fitting that Kate Mulgrew went from a risky choice of first female captain to clearly leading if not saving the franchise.

[@deanhirasawa1414]

I was pleasantly surprised by S1 of Prodigy. I was not expecting much from an animated show made for kids, but it turned out to be unexpectedly compelling, with great characters and a good science fiction story worthy of legacy Star Trek. Great job by Wil and a great interview with Kate. Sadly we now have to wait 49 days before Picard S3.

[@discord37]

Prodigy is just so amazing, everything about it gives me so much joy. It may e made for children but it's totally compelling for adults.

[@ScopeGuardPony]

Yeeeeeeah, no kidding. Me when Prodigy was announced: "Star Trek? Nickelodeon? This is gonna be cringe inducing." Me after Season 1: "....ok when is Season 2 coming?"

[@heleneb2105]

I love hearing Mulgrew's perspective on doing the live action Janeway. I watch Voyager now in amazement really. Being a Trek actor must be incredibly hard.

[@shaneusestarbearer5851]

I legit just finished the finale and I am bawling. I just love this show and Janeway (biological and hologram). This first season was such a fantastic roller coaster ride of emotions and stellar writing, and this finale was absolutely sensational. It really delivered the emotional satisfaction we craved so deeply. I honestly wished it didn’t have to end. On that note, I am beyond delighted and excited for the Prodigy adventure with Janeway to go boldly in Season 2. See you all amongst the stars! ✨

[@Robinjoy45]

Also Kate Mulgrew took a different insight of Janeway than Genevive Bujou a take charge attitude with a great thirst of curiousity of the unknown space of the Delta quadrant,

You can definitely feel inclusion with the deep respect and admiration between these two Star Trek alumni. I felt it deep throughout the interview.

[@twocents7509]

Love Kate’s answer to how Janeway brings together ragtag groups. It is about that compassion, and acceptance she shows. The point about it being a characteristic of a feminine leader is such an interesting insight too. Can’t help but compare Janeway to Picard in this regard. In Star Trek: Picard, we constantly see picard’s ragtag group (and others) get mad at him/struggle to get along with him because they feel like they are constantly being judged. Many of them feel the need to prove themselves to Picard. This is (sadly) how many people feel toward their own father, often the first masculine leader in their life. The first feminine leader a person often meets is their mother though, and the mother has this compassion and acceptance Mulgrew is talking about. That’s why Janeway can bring together ragtag groups, they feel safe with her in a world that judges them before they get their foot out the door.

[@louferrao2044]

I love Janeway! Kate Mulgrew always the consumate professional brings her best even in cartoon form.

[@TedofBrowns]

I was super impressed with this show. It captures everything Star Trek is about and it was so intense. The characters are very well fleshed out and so lovable. This show maybe for kids but the kid in me really loves it while the adult in me really loves it. Can't wait for season 2. GO BOLDY!

@@TaraPolen- Yes the shuttles were in the finale for Prodigy. I believe it was written on the shuttles’ nacelles if memory serves, but the scene was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment. That’s a really awesome license plate! How lucky is that? 😁
