STAR TREK: VOYAGER 🌟 THEN AND NOW 2021

[Music] star trek voyager took the long-lived star trek franchise to new places on screen the crew of voyager had to face unfamiliar territory new alien enemies and allies and conflict between the two stranded crews that combined on the ship out of necessity off-screen star trek was breaking into new territory by casting a female captain to lead the series writers and producers also had to start from scratch on the characters and places featured in voyage's adventures without relying on many of the standbys built in previous series these new developments came with their fair share of conflict arduous work creative struggles and behind the scenes drama from the beginning the creators were prepared for resistance to the idea of a female captain and casting the right lead actress was more difficult than expected creative decisions for the series caused several issues some writing decisions failed miserably while others took off despite resistance from caste and crew behind the scenes actors producers and writers got into long-lasting disputes over the direction of the series in the end voyager ran for seven successful seasons and created many beloved characters like captain janeway and seven of nine but the journey to get there was far from easy you are on the how they change channel and here are some behind the same secrets about star trek voyager kate malgrew and jerry ryan didn't get along malgru had been pushing to desexualize star trek and its female characters and she was not happy with the introduction of the seven of nine malgru explained that moment stands out for me when jerry ryan arrived that was an interesting moment because there has been a lot of controversy about it generated by me again unfortunate when you are the first female captain you hope against hope that that's going to be sufficient until the date wasn't she said malgru stated that seven of nine was brought in after she resisted a sexualized january adding i said you're just going to have to go somewhere else for it so they got this very beautiful girl to come in she played a wonderful character robert beltran blames brennan braga for ruining character's potential robert beltran has never shied away from criticizing how chaktai was underutilized on the show and he thought the problem with his and other neglected characters started with brennan braga took over running the show i guess when brennan braga took over when the seven of nine character made her entrance the work was changed beltran related that was fine with me but i think writers have an obligation to fill out all the characters if they are regular characters on the series i think several of the characters were diminished charcote and tuwak and kim and nelix he continued i think it was just easier for these new writers that came on to write stories about the captain and about characters that weren't really human like seven of nine and the doctor those three characters were kind of all seen all knowing omnipotent and i think a lot of that tension and drama that was available was lost because you have to really dig hard to find tension in all knowing all same characters he said jerry ryan had miserable first two years on the show after her late introduction to the series in season 3 jerry ryan had a miserable time on set for the first couple of years brian explained it was really really tough for the first couple of years and there were many days when i was nauseous before going into work because it was that miserable just unnecessarily intentionally unpleasant much of the unpleasantness on the set revolved around her antagonistic relationship with kate mulgrew a frequent source of anxiety since most of her scenes were with margru brian added but yeah it was unnecessarily unpleasant for a couple of years basically until i started dating brennan braga once i was dating the boss funny how things suddenly cleaned up the cast conflict was not her only issue with a character though her initial borg suit was so tight that she blacked out a few times before the problem was fixed she hated her famous catsuit as well relating they didn't let me keep the catsuit i would have loved to have burned it not so much the catsuit as the corsair that was under it but no they didn't let me have that writer ron d moore quit after bragg excluded him veteran star track writer ron d moore joined voyager's writing team after the end of deep space nine but moore did not stay for long he left the show after only a few weeks and just two episodes because brennan bragger excluded him from writing decisions moore explained i have very hurt feelings about brennan it was a breakdown of trust i would have quit any show where i was not allowed to participate in the process like that i wasn't allowed to participate in the process and i wasn't part of the show i felt like i was freelancing my own show after writing for the next generation deep space nine generations and first contact moore departed the star trek franchise for good so far moving on to projects like roswell battlestar galactica and outlander given his many contributions to the past iterations of star trek this was a major blow to the creative development of the projects that followed [Music] the share runners were prepared to have a male captain it was never entirely certain that captain janeway would be the franchise's first female serious lead producers were prepared for the possibility that paramount would back out of the idea of a female captain they read several male actors for the role of captain janeway to have a backup in case the studio decided against a female lead it was not always an easy decision for paramount as the studio faced some backlash over a female starship captain garrett wang later spoke about the various death and bomb threats that were sent to the voyager production officers at paramount studios over the decision to have a woman in command of a starship fortunately paramount did not back out of the decision allowing the showrunners to stick with their groundbreaking female captain genway the cousin were so hated they were written out star trek voyager took a few creative missteps in its first seasons and one of the biggest issues was the kaizen the kaizen were written to model los angeles street gangs with infighting between the alien gangs voyager invested heavily in the story of the kaizen through the second season after introducing them in the first and the decision was not well received many viewers considered them weak imitations of the klingons and the ratings reflected the disinterest jerry taylor ultimately decided to ride out the casing at the end of the second season most of the castaned crew agreed that the kaizen had overstayed their usefulness on the series case and centric plotlines were quickly tied up the original ending for the second season finale killed off seska's baby instead of cesco herself leaving an opening for cesca to return but this was later reversed a late developing writing decision also turned seska's baby with chakate into her baby with color severing any time the crew had with the baby the occasion were then left behind completely jerry ryan turned down the role of seven of nine four times seven of nine sexualized portrayal on the series was the root of a lot of drama behind the scenes especially in jerry ryan's strange relationship with kate malgrew however jerry ryan had her own concerns about how the character would be developed on the show she turned down the role of seven of nine four times she finally accepted the role after repeated persuasion from producer jerry taylor reportedly convincing her that her character would not just be an intergalactic barbie seven of nine was developed in a complex arc throughout the series exploring her inner turmoil about being human and her dark past with the borg unfortunately that was not the only thing attracting attention about her character with a lot of the coverage about her introduction being devoted to her form-fitting catsuit and obvious physical attributes nonetheless seven did end up being far more than a barbie on the crew playing an essential role on the ship for the rest of the series [Music] and that's all for now don't forget to leave a like subscribe and share this video with
