BBC2 Interview: Kate Mulgrew

[RandomPerson198011]

"My message to Patrick Stewart is this: 'Lucky Devil'". AAaaaahahhaah!!

[TheRealGeriBoss]

Janeway FTW!

[1987teepee]

i thought i liked her but after watching this im not so sure!

[Bananayoghurt1000]

she was a total cunt behind the scenes and everybody hated her

[LairdEJM]

My god Flemeth!

[jonapplegarth]

Come on people!! She smoked too many cigarettes! You nothing about her charactor! SHE'S AN ACTOR! ( I am sure she is all those wonderful things we won't know it though) She was a bad actress in the sixties too.

[SamFisherCell]

Flemeth

[TheReparedWings]

"like watching a sport" :)

[jonapplegarth]

It wasn't your hair, it was the fact that they wound up with a terrible actress, so they had to get everything else right.

[sbranco12]

@jonapplegarth Actually, what they wound up with wasn't a bimbo. Most other action and sci-fi franchises are hung up on presenting female leads as deadly sexpots (totally cliche), when the truth is ethical women like Janeway and Dana Scully are the types of characters that add passion and depth to a series. And that's how shows become cult classics.

[Con7ent]

@sbranco12 Hear hear. There were many aspects of the show that made Voyager go down as one of the best television series in hisotry (IMHO), but the fascinating depth of the characters was perhaps the most important (alongside the philosophical explorations). The thing about Janeway is that as a woman in a powerful position, she was never domineering or conceited with the men she was over, but handled them with compassion, mutual respect, and a love for her crew that was most genuine.

[manco82]

Captain Janeway suffers no fools.

[MarkAkAMarkinator]

Talking to the camera, as she was talking to her console in Voyager, hahahaha.

[sonofsteveaustin]

Kate Mulgrew is Absoloutly gorgeus, classy, intelligent, confident, down to earth and sexy as hell

MY 4 FAVOURITE STARTREK WOMEN

CPT KATHERINE JAYNEWAY - PURE CLASS, AND DOMINATING

7 OF 9 - DO I REALLY HAVE TO SAY?

DR BEVERLY CRUSHER - CAN GET YOU HIGH AFTERWARDS ( season 6 n 7 )

DEANNA TROI - SHE WILL KNOW WHAT I WANT, WHEN I WANT IT

[rjd071983]

4 Cameras hate Mulgrew

[xenafan15]

I love love love love looooove her <3

[wolfricacc]

wow not much difference. She holds herself and speaks in the same ... almost stern confident manner as her character

[LordOfTheGnus]

She seems very perspicacious.

[Experik]

Flemeth!

[greegry]

@Experik Also frequently called 'The Old Hag Who Talks Too Much' by some travelers...but those are presumably dead...

[Faker1977]

I love all the Voyager episodes!

funny, the german voice sounds the same as the org. voice of her.

[skydogz1]

Mulgrew is most brilliant ...she should make the Voyager movie ...it'd be the best Trek of them all.

[efatarocks]

@skydogz1 my only problem with Voyager was the Chakotay/7 romance popped up in what the last episode?

[seven7ofnine]

@efatarocks years had passed and it was obvious from the ep natural law they liked eachother, seven had liked him 4 ages anyway

[bemcath]

Wish I could see the whole interview

[burnstagger]

Her best hairstyle on the show was the Gillian Anderson look.

[sugarlandfan33]

did u yall know they are playing ryans hope ion soapnet

[Seaserpent08]

Brilliant woman, Kate, I just love the way she talks. Her manner presents intelligence, compassion, and experience. And the character Janeway was awesome too.

[ammarios]

Asides from her beauty (again, I say, she reminds me so much of Katherine Hepburn.. physically and her voice) .. but she's EXTREMELY intelligent. Anyone notice, not ONCE did she stutter or stammer or say "umm'... ... I ADORE her.

[Tijnvaassen]

She is a female version of Picard. I recall her facepalming many times...

[eviltreemonster]

Janeway and Seven? LOL why not?

:D

[goddesslush]

Mmmmm Janeway...

[iHateNumbersInNames9]

They cast a woman as the lead to play a role in a time when gender does not matter at all, then acted as if it did. big fail. result, a captain that was overly arrogant and did not listen to her crew, who murdered tuvix, and who constantly had to over compensate to look tougher than what was needed.

They should have just casted her, and then forgot what gender she was because, to coin a phrase, gender, is irrelevant.

still a great show though.

[eternallycool]

she made a superb captain as Katherine Janeway! (Respect)!

[TonicMike]

I love the way she speaks. I always got upset when Janeway got hurt on the show because Mulgrew is such a genuine, lovely woman. Beauty and power was a great combination for a captain.

[cyberjackcyberjack]

she prob a lez

[eviltreemonster]

@cyberjackcyberjack

If only :)

[cyberjackcyberjack]

@eviltreemonster her and "seven of 9" yum yum

[FuckTheNWO1000]

Kate is....so great.

[stepsolar]

I agree she made me want to be a part of the Voyager crew too! I must say no matter how much it took they did get her hair to the perfect style, it looked sooo good by the 6th and 7th seasons in it's full fire red!

[Pulsar205]

I didn't care about the hair. Whatever way she had it it was thick, brown and so very sexy! Love her poise, the way she talks and her graceful mannerisms.

[roller4312]

Every woman's beauty level on a starship Voyager is kinda offset by a certain former Borg drone.

[Blacksun1942]

Her portrayal of Janeway is soooooooo underrated. A truly worthy captain indeed.

[kdipitydawg]

@Blacksun1942 i agreen she did an exelent job w/ the role.

[ColdHeartedSoul89]

@Blacksun1942 i so agree! Kate made her strong, confident, compassionate, and human all at once :]

[inachu]

I think she is pretty even back when she played the amry woman with the guy who was trained by the korean guy from sianju.... forgot the movie name but its a B movie but her last name is very ugly as are most people who have jewish blood. Why do jews like ugly last names?

[xamire]

Yea, the crew made voyager what it is. And I'm glad they made Kate Mulgrew the captain instead of that other lady. Their show would have bombed the first season with her.

Love Kate Mulgrew.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

I love how she sees a camera, in a sort of romantic way :)

[SwissAuraya]

i don't know about you guys but kate mulgrew always made me wish i was a part of the voyager crew.

[XZTsunamiXZ]

"They tried to kill me with the hair, oh yes." XD Nobody is more interesting to listen to than Kate

[yodaries]

thank you for posting she is so amazing, and collected, and really just a awesome woman!

[killthedramaxx]

I love Kate Mulgrew and I love Janeway : )

[CoyoteFitzy]

You are a Twat.

[markuslebt]

she´ll talk and talk and talk as long as she can hold your attention. i do like the character in the episodes. but i cant stand this drivel.

[Nymphelyn]

Everything about her screams 'katharine hepburn' to me. The voice, her performances, looks, eloquence - If you told me they were related I wouldnt be surprised.

No wonder she won an award for portraying her in 'tea at five'

[grayfox041202]

Flameth!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tribbleq]

I personally know her from Voyager, but I was watching my brother play Dragon Age and I was like "I think that's Captain Janeway o_o"

[RareAspie]

I was sure I had killed her. Run away!!!!

[Dewnis]

FLEMETH!

[Kharisma1980]

Every time I see Kate on camera my respect for her increases. What an articulate and beautiful woman.

[LondonForever75]

A joke is a joke but thats going too far about your own mother.

[eventvisionsinc]

I love her as captain. I cant wait to see her in the new movie

[jewlz1234567]

@eventvisionsinc What new moie is she in??

[ljubaa93]

when will the movie get in theaters?

[lolboy84]

Hey Kate, my warp core is unstable. You should take command. lol

[LondonForever75]

She can be my captain anytime!

[scotschic]

Agrees, I would take orders from her anyday!

[jakemiller5000]

You like having sex with grandma's?

[LondonForever75]

Is there something wrong with you?

[jakemiller5000]

You claimed she can be your captain anytime. That indicates a high level of desire of this human. Given the fact that she's a human female of advanced age and your comments had a heavy sexual undertone in them it is my conclusion that you wish to mate with her.

[LondonForever75]

If you do not find this woman unattractive then thats your opinion - me personally, I think Kate Mulgrew is a fantastically beautiful woman who has a lot of class and talent as an actress.

Grandma or not, she is gorgeous. Question answered.

[jakemiller5000]

Do you find your own grandmother attractive? Would you sleep with her?

[LondonForever75]

Does mummy know you are on the computer?

[jakemiller5000]

No. She's busy with male customers trying to earn some money for her pitiful existence.

[LondonForever75]

You obviously don't think much of your mother. Poor woman.

[jakemiller5000]

She's a whore. I'm not kidding.

[crazycon500MK2]

@LondonForever75 and now shes a no nonsence shapeshifter in Dragon Age 2 :D

[jolem5000]

@LondonForever75 She was really hot in Throw Momma from the Train.

[fluffycommander]

@LondonForever75 Talent adds to beauty!

[bazadata]

Long live Zephran Cockran he boogied.

[nikotitan]

excelente actuacion en star trek, la mejor capitan de la federacion!!!

[crazypianolady]

The bit about honouring the camera made me laugh :)

[tripleohno]

smart chick didnt hear here say huh or umm once while talking and think of what to say

[Gaeilgeoir]

That's because she's extremely well-educated, well-trained and has years and years of experience :)

[PurushaDesa]

Wow - she just smacks of wit and intelligence straight off the bat. Matches that posh, sort of New England voice very well.

[Oceananswer]

it did look better when it was in a ball it made her look more formal

[Hybrid429]

I thought is sort of showed how her character was getting more at ease, and bored with sorting her hair, after being stuck in the Delta Quadrant for five years.

[Celinancc1701]

Her hair did look the best in seasons 1,2,3. In season 4 she murdered her gorgous hair.

[MusicalFan1701]

I loved Voyager and it's no-nonsense female Captain.

[picard12311]

@MusicalFan1701 quouting Bill Shatner i beleive

[Hirnhinweg]

Of course she´s hot! Still - reminds me of Katharine Hepburn!!

[TehCheese]

She played Katherine Hepburn in a play once!

[MITCHWILD]

Why am i not surprised?

[adam161]

she seems really intelligent

[Deefke76]

i hope my girl will age so gracefully as she does. Beautiful woman..lovely voice and smile...and ofcourse a good actrice.

[Gobbleop]

I think that lovely voice can be attributed to many years of smoking actually.

[deathcapped]

Her voice has always been deep and husky - even back in Ryans Hope from 1976-1977. She gave up smoking during Voyager.

[foxxyforever]

I think she's super hot.

[67tr876]

same hear am 15 but i would date her lol to old for me lol not

[geezzerboy]

Janeway's hair changes were one of my favorite parts of the series.

[Silberwoelfin89]

LOL did she say "hardcore-fans" in 2:57??

[damejulie]

she is so beautiful!

[c0llid0r]

this was from a star trek night on bbc some years ago, i think from 2002, they showed footage from a convention in blackpool uk and did some pretty decent interviews with a lot of the female cast!!

[drktmplar]

Lmao, I never thought that Kate Mulgrew actually...is a lot like Janeway in real life. Quirky, sense of humor...studies things...lol.

And the vocabulary she uses is the same I'd imagine Janeway to use. Strange. :-P

[joestl314]

I guess she never had to act. ha ha

[drktmplar]

Yup, lols

[orbcon]

Seems like very well spoken woman and strikes me as a actor that takes her roles very seriously, liked her as Janeway, lol for some reason reason she really reminds me of Kathryn Hepburn :)

[c1dra]

check out her one-woman play 'Tea at 5' -- she does play Hepburn!

[Silberwoelfin89]

I love Kate, she's awesome!

aw I'm so jealous about anybody who has met her in person...

This is exactly what I need after a long day of work *hehe* Thank you very much for sharing!

[gmfmusic85]

I've met Kate, and she's lovely!

[agasaga]

This interview is fascinating! Where is it from and where can you see the whole thing? I'd love to see the full interview!

[wagnerologist1984]

thank you for this post, that was very interesting. no sarcasm intended.

[CraigKeyboardMaster]

Kate is absolutely awesome.

[Donovan778]

What a smart and classy person.

[EwigeStudentin]

Thank you very much for posting it!!!

[ericshoeproductions]

janeway was never this observant and thoughtful as mulgrew is here in this interview. i never had the impression that mulgrew had all this brewing underneath janeway. mulgrew has a terrific attitude dealing with the hair politics...where as if this were janeway interviewed she woulda been bitter and angry dealing with the studios ignorance.

[Just2BeWithHer]

se is just such a great women!

[ninelivecat]

She is really pretty

[lakb45]

With all due respect to Kate: she and the camera ARE a match made in Heaven!

[RiceTheQueen]

<3. Love Kate! Thank you so much for posting this -- I could sit and just watch her talk for hours.

[melymbrosia]

Kate Mulgrew is the only reason I started watching Star Trek. She's gorgeous and her voice is super sexy *g* No wonder she has such a huge lesbian following!

[BetweenThaLines]

haha! She does? Great, now I know I'm not the only one:p Love her!

[melymbrosia]

Oh yeah, someone at a convention asked Kate if she knew she had a lesbian following. She said, "Yes. I'm not a lesbian, but that should not deter any of you!" :-D

[EwigeStudentin]

*Giggle*

What an interesting bit, thanks for telling it :)

[BeeABaw]

i love kate mulgrew she is my all time hero. she is the reason i think i love sience when i was a kid and even now. kate if you ever read this i would like to thank you.

[merlbear1]

Hate to break it to you, but you're still a kid.

Kate is delightful (I met her) and her acting is suburb.

[BeeABaw]

no im not im a adult.

[Sczep84]

*gg* She is so cute!! Thanks for re-posting that interview!!!
