I'm with you on this one.

To be honest I don't feel too upset about that. I think the way they write Trek has changed, it's generally darker, so there's a good chance they'd either kill Janeway off officially, or someone else. I prefer things left to the imagination now - at least with the books we have our 'it's not canon' argument!

On the other hand they seem to grab the bull by the horns and deal with issues now, eg they officially married Troi and Riker - maybe if we'd had a film we'd've got our official J/C? Who knows?

I quite liked Star Trek XI, and I like the way it's in an alternate universe so if any point I decide I hate it, if they kill them all off in the next one, I'll just stop watching and it won't affect my enjoyment of my Voyager and TNG dvds. In my head it's separate.

Well, re: Trek XI, I don't really care to think because of this movie, which I did rather like mostly (just not too happy w/ such an important planet...) would mean that TNG, DS9 and Voyager (and even original TOS) might not even happen (or would happen a lot differently). I, myself, prefer to think of that new universe as an alternate one, although potentially interesting. Well, it's all sci fi, yes? Anyway, that means I can definitely think of current Trek lit as truly alternate, and not-canon, so Janeway lives no matter what (well, if PB ever brings her back, then I can consider that universe more positively, ha). Anyway, it could be interesting to see what kind of new Trek TV series would possbily be developed now and if it would be previous Trek or nutrek, but would prefer any Trek that might possibly have Janeway in it, of course (but don't anticipate it, thank goodness for fan fic). Meanwhile, KJ lives, you betcha!
