#The other (non hologram) one is the reckless rule breaking occasionally batshit crazy Janeway (Admiral)

[tuttle-did-it]

Can’t let these excellent tags from @marrow-tea go unloved

Janeway has always been two people-

the person she thinks she is —perfect Starfleet officer, always plays by Starfleet rules, always does the right thing no matter the cost;

and at the same time, the person she actually is — a reckless, batshit, self-destructive person who lives by her own rules and who will go down with the ship even if it’s not actually necessary.

When she was doubled in that episode, there were 4 Janeways on that ship, not just two.

This is why Prodigy was clever two split her into two- the Hologram (person she thinks she is, perfect Starfleet Officer) and the Admiral (reckless rule breaker who has been chucked up the ladder to a desk job in Starfleet because they’re are afraid she’s going to blow up her ship with everyone on it, and yet despite them, she’s still breaking rules, disobeying orders and risking her ship and crew for her own reasons).

I just love her.

When their ship and/or crew are in imminent danger:

Archer: T'Pol and Trip will get me out of this.

Kirk: I can fuck my way out of this.

Picard: I can reason my way out of this.

Sisko: Fetch me the tailor, he can murder our way out of this.

Janeway: Computer, Set self-destruct sequence- Janeway Pi-one-one-zero. Tuvok, set our photon torpedoes to blow inside the ship. Tom, aim for the nearest sun, warp 9, just in case. Everyone, point your phasers at the person next to you, set to kill-
