janewaytrulvlisterpeake:It is heavy on my heart to finally admit my immense disappointment and disma

It is heavy on my heart to finally admit my immense disappointment and dismay how the woman who brought us the incredible, uncompareable Captain Kathryn Janeway has completely neglected, surrendered and abandoned what was a hero that others fail to compare to. That woman is Kate Mulgrew- herself.
In the early 90s during the Voyager season, she would often be guest stars on TV shows -as well as out and about sporting a dapper pant suit,her slender figure slayed the shit out of them. She was cool as hell! .Her swag, her facial expressions, she was a black woman in a white skin. That coolness was so fitting with the Captain.
After the show drew to a close on May 23 2001, It soon become apparant to me there was a distinctive shift both in her dress sense, demeanor, confidence, comfortability and spirit. Even though it was painful to watch such an revelationary show come to an end, i lived in hopes she would view her experience - not only as an immense accomplishment, but as inspirating journey that would go onto encourage her to continue to tap into more of her inner strength and utilise her incredible talent when it came to her pursue of future roles . Roles that will continue to showcase her amazing energy and endurance as an actress.
I had been a follower of Kate’s work prior to Voyager, but was never a fan. When she took embarked on Voyager and took it by storm , all hell broke lose.I was in owe to witness how she blew the mf’er up! - Literally with her magnificent performance in episode Year of Hell . From that point, i was singing her praises as far and wide as possible. I was never one to have posters decorating around my room , nor was i an advert convention goer. I have only been to one.
I was also never fan of Kate on a personal level to, her lesbophobic views has always plaque her throughout her entire life. She only capitalises on the subject as majority of her fans were lesbians and she used her fake support of the LGBT Community as a means to stay relevant for the purpose of her career. That mindset has hindered her in so many ways , both creativity and personally. But that is not neither here or there.
As Captain Janeway, she exuded an amazing physical sharpness, an undeniable flairless nature beauty with use of little make up. She was exceptionally stunning.
In 2015, i created a Twitter account which celebrated such a wonderful character - that is of Captain Janeway . It was called InvincibleCptJ . Consequently it was hacked into and in-turn my email address which was linked to it was also hacked . I can only hazard a guess of whose team was responsible , as i have soon learned from several other fans that their dedicated pages succombed to the same demise. But i digress.
In 2013, Kate starred in a show called Orange of the New Black. The very thought of the title makes me cringe, but out of curiousity i forced myself to watch the first season and my heart completely sunk. I struggled to focus on the words that came out of her mouth. All i could think of was “ What happened to that naturally strong, sharp, muscular powerhouse with a stamina that can take on 5 guys in a fight?. I was baffled.
She tried to insert some of the Captain’s traits, but it just was not working-certainly not for me. It was haggard, uncomfortable and an excruciatingly painful rendition. Orange of the new black was automatically cancelled in my head. By now my patience of her deliverance was waying thin. I then heard she was due to appear in another show . Fingers, toes and whatever else was crossed only to recieve another knock back. All i thought was “ She went on another bender the night before”. It was so obvious to see. I did not take the time to watch the show, the publicity photos showed me all i needed to know.
Kate, has completely abandoned ship and abandoned her rank as the Captain. Through the lengths Jeri Ryan has gone to tear her down and crumble her career, i had ALWAYS had her back and had faith she will continue to come on top. She was built for the trenches and no one -by the likes of Ryan would frazzled an exceptional talent with a huge range to her undeniable talent and creativity. I wanted her to win even more after that …woman’s lynch on her.
I wanted to believe that Kate had hidden gems locked away, ready and waiting to be unleashed and shock the system of her enemies and doubters, but time again , she has become the mercy of Ryan’s words. She has indeed retreated and lost focus which has become apparant from the roles she has continue to accept. She appears unworthy of her own greatness ,unworthy of heroic strong role that morally held her with high esteem for over a few decades. She seems to have lost sight . It should not be about forming an allegience with someone that has delibrately broken her trust , the line of secrecy , whose only motive had been to destroy her career and fanbase, so their’s can grow and become relevant and in doing so - take her spot. That is not a friend and will not ever truly be one.
I had not seen any of her roles since and cannot say that i will ever again. For me, Captain Janeway was and always will be her staple, the pinnacle of her career and one that was honorable by to Kate and Captain Janeway.
Live Long and Prosper in my memory, Captain Janeway ~Janewaytrulvlisterpeake
