I agree with Kate on Janeway not having sex with Chakotay...it would have diminished her image as captain. But WHY did they build up that J/C relationship and then just drop it off a cliff?! They should have at least given it true "resolution" by acknowledging the attraction and the fact that they couldn't be together. Instead they just pretended like there never was chemistry, and suddenly we get Chakotay and SEVEN together! WTF??

"What happened on New Earth .... STAYED on New Earth." That, unfortunately for we J/Cer's, was their resolution. I die evertime we see her walk away from that damned alien primate, then stare sadly into Chakotay's eyes before calling Voyager for a beam out. She then look her tactical officer in the eye and accuses TUVOK of being emotional while carefully distancing herself from Chakotay by not looking at him as she orders a system review. What happened on New Earth...  :-(

So Mulgrew is glad Janeway didn't sleep with Chakotay, but she likes the fact that she slept with Tom.

I sooooooo agree. Janeway/Tom would be such a great couple: the best in all Star Trek

what is cool about  kate is when you see or hear her she says things you can imagine janeway saying kate is awesome

I disagree that J/C could not have been together. They could have had a relationship, but maybe not had sex during the actual series. But just to drop the whole relationship they spent 7 freaking years building without any true resolution? Shame on you, Star Trek, you could have done so much better

Accidentally removed my comment. Whoops! While Kate makes some excellent points, and I agree with much of what she says, I was very disappointed with the end of Voyager. J/C were the perfect couple, they lit up the screen together, and their love-story has to be one of the greatest ever told. It deserved a happy ending, or at least the hint of one. C/7 in the very last episode, just when a relationship for J/C became possible, was a very cruel twist. It ruined the finale for me.

I love Kate, but I wish she could have looked at Roslin/Adama on Battlestar Galactica, who managed to develop a romance without anyone thinking less of their authority. There is something very human about needing a companion, and no reason why that couldn't have been portrayed with J&C in a respectful way that wouldn't undermine her authority as a female captain. Instead, they both ended up having flings that made no sense, and were just insulting to both the fans and the characters.
