I know that Endgame is not a perfect finale and I would change some things if I could (like C7) but I just LOVE Admiral Janeway.

Captain Janeway gets criticised for being old, reckless and unlikeable but Admiral Janeway is actually old, reckless and unlikeable.

Admiral Janeway is also a badass who saves the day, defeats the Borg and finally gets Voyager back to Earth.

Admiral Janeway is the misogynist Trekkie’s worst fear, and I think it’s awesome that she’s the main character in Voyager’s last episode.

Look, I know Star Trek: Picard is about, well, Picard, but it really would have made more sense for the Borg Queen to have a hate boner for Janeway, not JL. I mean, yeah, Picard stopped her from assimilating Earth a couple times, but Janeway really fucked up her shit by stealing Seven, stealing a transwarp coil, restealing Seven (which the queen took personally), facilitating the Unimatrix Zero resistance, and then (alongside Janeway's future self) blowing up the Borg Transwarp Network Hub and spreading the virus that decimated the collective and left the Queen in the dilapidated state we see in PIC S3. So, no shade on JL and his influence, but it would have made more sense for the hate from the Queen's PIC 3x10 dramatic speech to be directed at Janeway, not him.

Hahaha I will always awkwardly ask if I can take a look around when I am at someone’s place for the first time. Everyone should give house tours!!!

Reading an etiquette book that says that Americans like to give house tours for guests and Europeans often don't. It did not even occur to me before now that this might be so. SHOW ME YOUR ROOMS!!!

The jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), also known as the spotted touch-me-not. When the seeds mature enough to start a new generation, their pods develop a nastic response and explode, dispersing the seeds in the environment. When the time comes, the cells of the seedpod accumulate and store mechanical energy based on their hydration level. Any external stimuli then overloads the system and the walls separate and quickly coil up on themselves, transferring energy to the seeds and launching them outwards. | Journal of Experimental Biology

It's funny, when I first started taking these screenshots, I felt resentful about the conversation, but, upon further thought, I actually like it a lot.

See, in 4x15, Janeway discovers that her fiancé has moved on and married someone else. And, at the end of the episode, she and Chakotay have this exchange:

This is them talking about their relationship without actually talking about it. Like, who could she have possibly been talking about when she said she was avoiding becoming involved with someone else? Sure, she says that she wouldn't have had a chance to become involved with someone else, but why would she need a safety net if there wasn't someone to try to avoid being with? And saying that she hasn't had the chance to pursue a relationship is her acknowledging that she and Chakotay can't be together because of the risks it poses to their ability to work together in a professional fashion, and for her, I think, the fact that she IS the Captain makes her feel like she simply can't be in a relationship with a member of the crew, even if it is the person just below her when it comes to who has power in the ship.

Still, Chakotay harkens back to the s3 finale, in which he told Janeway that she isn't alone, and she says that she can't imagine a day without him. I also think her agreeing with him, in a very serious fashion, that there's plenty of time for her to pursue a relationship, is her saying that, perhaps one day, they could be together. Especially since they made contact with Starfleet, who said that they would do everything they could to bring Voyager home. In that moment, both of them felt like they might actually have time to be together, rather than staying on Voyager until they died.

And this is the last shot of the final scene(obviously I don't count the fact that the show always ends with a shot of the ship):

Their arms are linked, and they're both laughing. Despite the fact that Janeway is sad that her relationship with Mark is over, the chance of her having a relationship with Chakotay one day seems more real than it ever has.

I love them.

Yeah I’ve listened to Lisa Klink talk about this episode and it is an interesting idea but that’s not what the episode actually makes you think about, which is unfortunate…

Star Trek TOS is WILD because it has Lieutenant Uhura being super capable on the bridge and solving engineering problems in the 60’s AND it has an episode like ‘Turnabout Intruder’ which concludes that women are all a bit too hysterical to be Starfleet Captains.

Star Trek TNG is WILD because Counsellor Troi is a competent and trusted advisor of Captain Picard who saves the day many times with her intuition and empathy AND she is raped in strange science fiction ways MULTIPLE TIMES.

Star Trek DS9 is WILD because it has two awesome officers who are complex women AND it prominently features the owner of a bar who is a sex offender that obviously exploits the women who work for him but NO ONE (not even the awesome officer women) on the space station seems to have a problem with it and even befriend the bar owner and support his business.

Star Trek Voyager is WILD because it has a female Captain who is kickass and regularly solves science and engineering problems with other awesome women on her crew AND it also has the episode ‘Retrospect’ that ends with a man killing himself because a woman in the crew wrongfully accuses him of abusing her so the message is that believing women is bad actually.

Star Trek Enterprise is WILD because it has a Vulcan woman first officer who is the most competent person in the crew AND the male crew members keep sexualising and objectifying her because apparently they can’t control themselves around an attractive woman. Also, it has the decontamination goo scenes…

The way that all these Star Trek shows portray women so well and so poorly is WILD.
