10 Reasons To Greenlight Star Trek: Janeway NOW

10. Janeway Was Always Ahead Of Her Time

We find ourselves in an era of Star Trek that loves to serve up plenty of action, adventure and on-screen spectacle, but Kathryn Janeway has been kicking ass and taking names since 1995.

Whatever your view on who the best Captain is, Janeway has always been a solid choice to have on the other end of a commbadge when you need to get the job done. From busting her crew out of cells to outsmarting smug inspectors, she approached every obstacle with equal parts grit, wit and humanity.

Those qualities became invaluable when the USS Voyager was pulled into the Delta Quadrant, leaving Janeway with the unenviable task of getting her crew home while upholding the ideals of the Federation. But her determination, intellect and empathy weren't forged in that crucible; they were always an innate part of who she was.

So many of the attributes modern Star Trek celebrates...resilience, compassion, tenacity...were already there in Captain Janeway, and would no doubt continue to define the Admiral.

Janeway would fit right in with the likes of Una Chin-Riley, Nahla Ake and even the newly promoted Seven of Nine. Little work, if any, would be needed to ensure Janeway suited the current Trek-scape. In fact, it's easy to imagine Janeway in the wings, just waiting to step back into the spotlight.
