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