Once upon a time in the 90′s I was gifted Janeway and Chakotay action figures, which I now, 87 years later, still have in my office. My daughter, with whom we’re watching Prodigy, is allowed to play with them in there, but because she once stuffed Chakotay down a heat vent (relatable, tbh), she can’t take them out of my office anymore.

(When the Prodigy action figures come out, I’ll get her those and she can mutilate them however she wants.)

Tonight, she woke up out of a nightmare and couldn’t get back to sleep. Didn’t have any suggestions for how we could help her. Didn’t want any of the usual things, didn’t want us in there, didn’t want us to leave, didn’t want a story or music or permission, even, to just stay up and look at books.

So I got the Janeway doll, and I said that if she’d promise to take care of it, she could sleep with it.

And she threw her arms around me, beaming. Immediately ready to be tucked back into bed, under her glow-in-the-dark stars, “like on the Protostar.”

And honestly, that feels like the legacy of Captain Janeway to me.

alright let's talk about marina sirtis.

we know deanna troi was not written in the way the character deserved, but something we don't talk about enough is that every time we see sirtis play someone other than just troi, she absolutely shines.

like she shines anyway, but when troi has to pretend to be a romulan? the way she took control of every situation, and really pushed beyond the person she really is? holy shirt!

additionally when her body was taken over by the criminal who needed to release his soul, sirtis fucking killed it with the menace and determination. you can tell she also had a ton of fun doing that.

one more example was probably be Wild West Troi. not only was sirtis killing it and enjoying it, so was deanna.

despite being forced to do terrible plots in which she gets taken over or violated, when she's on screen playing someone other than just troi, it's magnificent. and i just need everyone to know it.
