          Janeway always struck me as lowkey lesbian. I kept thinking her and 7 of 9 were going to hook up. There was so much sexual tension between the two of them as 7 became more human and less borg.

                Okay but… you see how this supports my POV here, more than the person I was replying to⁉️😜🤯

                Oh who are kidding - we all are quite aware that Janeway would murder every man, woman, or child alive just for the fun of doing so (oh <ahem> I… uh… I mean “coffee”, yeah…) ☕

            I thought that about Geordi and Rho, but no it’s just the actors like to sit forward and close and dont change their mannerisms when next to the “hot” actor

            I have some latent memory of speculation that this was an intended thing early on in production, before Mulgrew stepped into the role even, but they abandoned it like most other interesting and innovative ideas. I wouldnt know where to look as far as sources go however.

            It certainly would put a different spin on her attitudes towards fraternizing with the crew. Personally I’m not really keen or sold on the ‘bisexual utopia’ trend that Lower Decks presents, since I think there’s both room and potential for characters who are just more reserved about their sexuality.

            Hell, it wouldve made the early governess holodeck schtick far more interesting if it was done as an early insight into that aspect of her character.
