Kate Mulgrew raises a glass to Voyager cameo on Star Trek: Picard

Star Trek: Picard included a nod to Star Trek: Voyager that didn’t go unnoticed by Kate Mulgrew

Kate Mulgrew played Captain Kathryn Janeway for seven seasons on Star Trek: Voyager and has since recreated her role, this time serving as both Admiral Janeway and Hologram Janeway on Star Trek: Prodigy. Though she is no longer a captain in Star Trek, Mulgrew has said that Captain Janeway remains in her and clearly is in her heart as evidenced by her tipping of the glass to Star Trek: Picard for its most recent cameo.

In “The Bounty,” the crew of the USS Titan headed to the Fleet Museum to hide out from the Changeling’s Starfleet among the “relics” of the past. But as Seven of Nine is pointing out all of the ships to Jack Crusher, one comes into view that is beautiful, majestic, and unforgettable—the USS Voyager.

Kate Mulgrew responded to Jeri Ryan’s loving tweet about the Voyager

Jeri Ryan tweeted about how she was affected  when the Star Trek: Voyager theme song started playing. Mulgrew’s response was a simple “To the USS Voyager” with two clinking glasses and a heart emoji.

This brought a response from Picard production designer, Dave Blass, who said “we took good care of her.”  And all of the tweets led to a plethora of responses from fans who were thrilled to see the return of one of their favorite ships.

Added to that was the hope that we would also see Janeway this season on Picard, at least as a cameo, since her ship has been mentioned. But Captain Kirk’s ship was also mentioned, and the odds of seeing him are slim. So while we can’t pin our hopes on getting a glimpse of Admiral Janeway, we can still bask in the knowledge that Picard tipped a hat to the starship and the crew that became family.
