PNQ: Would this have really worked?


Upon reflecting on it for a bit, I don't think it had any chance of working. Chakotay did a good job of playing a role that would attract her, but it wasn't feasible in the long term. For Janeway to be able to truly connect with him she would have to willingly remove her armor, and I don't think she's capable of that while commanding a ship.

I haven't watched Voyager much but it just feels like a forced romance between the male and female leads to me.

I agree she would have had a hard time lowering her armor to have a proper relationship.
