  Yeah if they hadn’t struck gold with Jeri Ryan that whole situation would have been seen in a whole different light. She and the writers pulled that decision out of the gutter.

  I definitely noticed that.

  I think Janeway and 7 were well written. B’elana was mostly just angry.

    B’elana was mostly just angry.

    I don’t remember shit about B’elana , or much of Voyager characterisation except :

    • Janeway : Hardass
    • Doctor : fun guy
    • Tuvok : generic serious vulcan
    • Neelix : obvious comic relief, silly
    • Chakotay : Native american guy with a cool face tat

    B’elana being mostly angry makes sense as a Klingon and an engineer. each facet isn’t known for being sunshine on rainbows, combined, not exactly going to be a delight.

      True enough.

      7 and the EMH we’re the best characters in the show, IMHO.

        But what about Kess?

    I read B’elana as a point that the chief engineer doesn’t always need to be some composed nerd. Even a person with deep anger control issues, with interest in (Klingon) religion, can be a good fit for that position and can stand her ground to a literal Borg.

    Plus ofc Janeway + B’elana and + 7 later, meant that most science-related decision were made by a group of women.

    But as everyone on the cast, once 7 and doctor were out, the screentime was really compressed 😶

    Jeri was local and would appear regularly at local cons :p
