Fuck yes … everyone in serious chairs and then Tim Russ is like “I can do the interview between my funk band sets, I’ll keep my guitar with me … because I am that fucking cool!”
Cool to see this, I will definitely watch.
Voyager was the first star trek that I got to see from the beginning as it aired. I remember talking about if the Intrepid was more advanced than the Galaxy class. But I’ve always had a mixed relationship with it that has sweetened over time.
Looking back, even as a young kid, my vague feelings were pretty accurate. One the one hand, it was almost certainly the best made star trek to date (where I’m happy to put DS9 in a separate “star base” category compared to the conventional exploration on a ship category). And honestly, probably the best made so far, SNW is yet to clinch that IMO. Janeway and B’Elanna as female characters were awesome, even as a kid I got that. And while the character of seven, for a het-male, had a clear purpose, the character itself, an essentially stubbornly neurodivergent and strong female, again, definitely registered as unique on television.
But the whole hesitancy over committing to actually being stranded in the Delta quad, also was clear to young me. And so I drifted in and out of keeping up with the show, which was always bitter sweet because I’d catch an episode here and there and think “Fuck yes that’s the shit”, even sometimes thinking “this should be the whole show!” (eg, year of hell, obviously, the one where they make an ad-hoc federation in a void). Over time I’ve come to appreciate the former more, and just how much Mulgrew and Janeway did (which this doc will probably focus on to some extent).
This looks good, added to my list of things to look out for.
Yea, I’m looking forward to a full breakdown of the whole story with mulgrew getting the role at the last minute and what she brought to the role.
And maybe even closure for the whole mulgrew-Ryan drama and how that’s been healed over time?
I backed this on IndieGoGo in 2021. I’d say I can’t wait, but I clearly can.
I am here already waiting to throw my money at the inevitable IndieGoGo campaign for their TNG documentary.

This looks really interesting. A bit of why Kate Mulgrew replaced Geneviève Bujold is mentioned in The Captains (2011). No shade was thrown towards Ms. Bujold in The Captains. I’m looking forward this documentary. I’m always up to learning more behind the scenes Star Trek info.
