 Mulgrew Talks Interpersonal Relationships
Posted Wednesday, August 15, 2001 by Benjamin
At the previously reported Voyager: The Return convention held in Blackpool, Kate Mulgrew, Robert Picardo, and the surprise guest, Patrick Stewart all attended.
According to a report by Barbara Spencer at Totally Kate!, Kate Mulgrew talked a little more about interpersonal relationships in regards to Voyager.
"The interpersonal relationships were really working and I felt that for a few seasons that all went to the Seven of Nine/Janeway story line," said Mulgrew to the audience of last month's convention.
Mulgrew also felt that the development for some of the other characters of Voyager may have been affected by the large amuont of screentime taken from the Janeway/Seven relationship. "[The Janeway/Seven storyline] was great as it upped the numbers," she states, "but everyone else had to take a back seat and in so doing I feel we lost a little balance, and a considerable amount of momentum which is very important when you're dealing with nine characters to keep them all even. I regret that two or three season imbalance, although it worked for the ratings, I think for some of the actors and me it was a bit much."
Mulgrew personally would have liked to see more of Paris and the Holodeck. "It's a very subjective thing and I'm rather myopic about it because I would have liked to have seen my relationship with Mr. Paris further examined, certainly Mr. Picardo," said the actress.
Regarding the Doctor's punishment during "Flesh and Blood," she really thought Janeway was too easy on him. "Do you think I did not go to Rick Berman's office, slammed my script down on the table and said, what are you doing?" says Mulgrew towards the convention audience. "'This isn't a dressing down. This isn't a reprimand. He's countermanded all of my orders systematically. I should take his little mobile emitter and you know what with it!'"
"'No, no,' Mr. Berman said," as Mulgrew continues, "'the relationship between the doctor and Janeway has long been too hard. It's too beautifully developed now. She feels too deeply.' I said, 'Nonsense, I'd smack him good on his little holographic behind.' The doctor gets away with a lot doesn't he? Very busy isn't he singing La Boheme and making love to Seven of Nine? Very busy." Thanks to TrekToday for the lead.
