The one and only Kate Mulgrew took time out of her busy schedule to visit a very special place. “Star Trek” fans know future birthplaces of Starfleet captains is a pretty big thing in the franchise. Sometimes time travel episodes (or films) happen in these locations. Sometimes fangroups erect special monuments to commemorate these places.
In this case, the future birthplace of one Captain Catherine Janeway of the Federation Starship Voyager in Bloomington, Indiana. A group of fans built and installed a bust of Mulgrew as Captain Janeway from “Star Trek: Voyager” in a public park. And as of this past weekend, Mulgrew came to visit it.
It’s pretty darn great.
You can watch Mulgrew’s statements at the Statue here. “Star Trek: Voyager” is available to stream, along with all other “Star Trek” series, on Paramount+.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
