That whole thing was a shit-show, looking back on it. Mostly stemming from VOYAGER being made to carry all of UPN for years - Mulgrew replaced Genevieve Bujold who'd quit after *one day* on set, and she came aboard outright refusing to do any romance or "sexy" storylines period..

...which (she later claimed) was the reason she though Seven was written-in and Ryan cast in the first place and why she resented her (OTOH, Mulgrew had made a rep for being a takes-zero-shit hardass on set years prior) ...THEN Ryan started dating Braga about a year in

Like making these things as mini-events for streaming is possibly the best scenario at this point, if only because it lessens the seeming inevitable pull of TREK projects to become Stockholm Syndrome work camps

Hey look a lot of bad things did happen on TNG but for the most part the cast has extremely fond memories of it The same is true of DS9, Terry Farrell being harassed by Rick Berman notwithstanding

It seems like in about half the cases of Trek shows where there's a singular captain, the cast ends up hating their actor (and this may have been the case in Firefly too?) But this seems to be avoided currently by the shows being "Sir Patrick Stewart and also he's not a captain">

Well the specific thing that went wrong with Voyager is they really wanted that cinema cachet of getting legendary actress Genevieve Bujold to be their first female captain And she actually said yes and then dipped after starting shooting

Which may have been because the script really was pretty bad But also sounds like it was mostly because she realized how much fucking work doing a network TV series would be, and as an older woman with kids who didn't *need* the work was like "Fuck it"

So Kate Mulgrew was a last minute replacement who took the job because she was less famous and did need the work And that's never a good way to start

If you look at the test footage of both actresses, mulgrew really elevated the crappy dialogue tho.

Well, Bujold wasn't actually trying Maybe she's a bad fit for the role but she's also clearly just choosing not to act in that footage, she's trying to get herself fired rather than quit so she wouldn't be in breach of contract

That's a clear possibility. I always read it as maybe an aversion to all that techno babble right at the start.
