Listen, if you aren’t watching Kathryn Janeway’s background facial expressions to stuff The Doctor says during conversations with people then you are seriously missing out because she’s comedy GOLD

Like every time The Doctor pats himself on the back she’s just rolling her eyes and exchanging knowing looks with Chakotay and I love it. She’s the perfect captain to be dealing with this arrogant, salty, lovable asshole of a CMO. 

Honestly though, Kate Mulgrew is so insanely good at background acting. Even when her character isn’t in focus, she is still acting and doing it so well. I think this is one of the reasons Janeway feels like such a real character; she’s consistently characterized and acted even when you aren’t supposed to be paying attention to her. if you pay attention to what she’s doing in the background, she’s always doing something; sometimes she’s turning to look at the characters having conversation in the foreground as she leaves a room, or she’s throwing a look at Chakotay while aliens are talking to another character and she smells bullshit, or she’s patting someone on the arm while she’s in the background of a scene in the dining hall. I just think Voyager did such a good job of using characters in scenes where it makes sense to have them in the background, even if they aren’t the focus of the scene, and Kate’s acting choices in the background make it even better.

[Image description: Screencaps of a conversation between Quark and Garak (the root beer scene from "Way of the Warrior") edited to read:

Quark: I want you to try something for me. Take a listen to this.

Garak: What is it?

Quark: A song. It's called "Faith of the Heart".

Garak: I don't know.

Quark: Aren't you a little bit curious? What do you think?

Garak: It's vile.

Quark: I know. It's so bubbly and cloying and happy. But you know what's really frightening? If you listen to enough of it, you begin to like it.

Garak: It's insidious.]

“I've had women write to me,” Visitor says, “and say they're trying to be more like Kira, that they're trying to get down to their feelings. And I'm realizing that even though there's a perception that women are very close to their feelings, I'm seeing in these letters that that's not necessarily true. Women have a hard time. They might know what the feeling is, but to express it, to act on it, that's something entirely different.”

— Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens, The Making of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1994)

It annoys me how a common trope on Star Trek is ‘tee hee, I’m a workaholic, I have twenty stardates of leave saved up because I never take a break’ and that’s supposed to be something we admire. Take a holiday, idiot. Especially if you’re the boss. Set a fucking example. It’s the future now and you’re better than this toxic shit.

I would like to apologize not only to Andrew Robinson and to God, but also to whoever did the camera work for s2e5 “Cardassians.” You could not have known that I would use your footage for evil.
