    Janeway did fight, kill, destroy, intimidate, threaten, battle and overcome many enemies and completely use an authoritarian hand for the love of her life …

    Coffee

    If earth, the human race and the federation had stood in her way for a carafe of Columbian coffee, she would have destroyed us all.

    While I know this is done for humor’s sake, I really love this critique.

    Similar to the Bechdel Test, this comesvery close to perfectly illustrating the Mako Mori Test:

    The requirements of the Mako Mori test are that a film or television show has at least one female character and that this character has an independent plot arc and that the character or her arc does not simply exist to support a male character’s plot arc.[2]

    On a different note, what surprised me the most afted rewatching voyager’s pilot after a good 15 years is that Janeway had a boyfriend/husband/partner. I mean he was mentioned in at least another episode during 1st season but I’m pretty sure he has been forgotten by then

      Oh, Mark comes up a few times. We eventually learn that he got married sometime after Starfleet gave up on Voyager being found.

        I had a look at Memory Alpha and you are right, he is mentioned. Yet it was so forgettable that I removed it every time I rewatched the show

        Umbridge shows up in book 6 or 7, and she’s got PTSD from whatever the centaurs did to her. Based on the myths about centaurs, it would appear to have been rape. Hermione says “watch this”, and makes clip-clop horsey sounds and Umbridge has a panic attack. Harry and Ron laugh.

          The myths about centaurs in the books or in classic mythology. Because the Harry potter centaurs did not give me a rapey vibe and I would consider them on their own
