    Oh yeah, I remember everyone complaining about Avery Brooks being Commander (and then eventually Captain) Sisko

    Star Trek nerds were awful, just like they were to Kate Mulgrew for playing Captain Jane way

    It's literally why they had that episode Beyond The Stars

    I still tear up thinking about his breakdown at the climax of that episode and how almost a hundred years later, the same small, bigoted minds make the same complaints

      The more I learn about Voyager's behind-the-scenes, the more respect I have for her. She tried to take a horribly inconsistently written character and make her work for 7 damn seasons - and she mostly succeeded. Mulgrew's work ethic was one of the few completely positive things about Voyager.

        The cast of voyager were overall really good and I wish they had gotten a better show.
