I don't think it's just your imagination, andrewsfan -that's exactly the way I read her comments. Sigh - can't she see that Seven and Janeway just belong together? Of course, Trek is such a straight world these days that I suppose it's too much to ask. I still think about Berman's quip not long ago about "We don't see two straight crewmembers holding hands in the corrridors, so it would be out of place to show two gay crewmembers doing that". Well, we may not see them holding hands, but we did see Jim kiss a bunch of scantily-clad "alien babes", and Picard had his share of women, not to mention Riker's many conquests and his ever-enduring relationship with Deanna, who had her own flings ; then there was Beverley and a couple of guys, Sisko and his girlfriend, later his wife; Jadzia and Worf, Kira and Bareil, Kira and Shakaar, heck, even Odo and Kira - the list goes on and on.. I don't mind watching them play kissy-face, but it would be nice to see a same-sex couple for a change

I do despair that things will ever change and that this show which was such a ground-breaker in its original form (although it was also paradoxically very sexist, but that's anotrher story) will ever break this ground too.

Having said that, I will admit that I get to liking the J/7 world more and more and the televised Trek world less and less, but I'll probably never tire of watching Kate Mulgrew play Janeway, even if her affections would be misplaced in some possible future film - I 'll just have to hold my nose during the love scenes.
