Best Janeway Moment: ugh there are soo many good ones in this episode, but I cannot even begin to explain to you how much I LOVE Janeway pretending not to know how to play pool and then absolutely destroying everyone (possibly the best scene from all of Voyager) – and that wonderful eyebrow raise when she claims solids… please, just phaser me now 😩
And the way she claims that Chakotay’s animal Guide is a bear… oh my god…
and the way she she is so excited about finding her animal guide and the way she is so respectful of his culture.
And she is so surprised that he just came to her ready room out of blue to find her animal guide but have zero problem joining him of the floor to do that…
The way Chakotay takes her hand and places it on his Akoonah… (Yeah I’m a J/C shipper for life and I’m going down with it)
And one of best quotes that Kathryn ever says… “there is coffee in that nebula”…
this is 100% Kathryn Janeway in that episode people… the curious , excited yet respectful scientist, Total Nerd and the caffaine addicted pool-shark. (and I miss her in later seasons)
yes to all of those!😍
and I really love her reaction to Neelix’s “better than coffee substitute”
and the way she and Torres (v good scene between these two btw) dispute which ship is the real one, and of course Janeway is right
and that wonderful line from Janeway; “I’m just gonna have to give up coffee, that’s all there is to it” (lol as if)
this episode is a prime example of everything I love in janeway
