Here's a completely off-the-wall idea I had while talking to Frank:
Say that Janeway gets killed and Voyager destroyed! The crew have to use the Equinox, with either Chakotay as Captain or the John Savage character. . . who despite being a complete bastard might be preferred by the Starfleet crewmembers over a Maquis. If not Captain, then he's in the Brig and has to keep getting freed to help out.
Never happen, but if they ARE going to bring DS9 writers in, it's the sort of turn-it-on-its-head thing they'd do, as well as bringing some internal conflict back into the show. . .

I wouldn't want them to kill Janeway. Ever.
But I like the premise. Perhaps Captain Ransom could force Janeway to step down or something. She'd still be there, but powerless? That way, it probably satisfies most people (those who want her out of the way, dead, or tortured) and those who want her alive and kickin'.
And it's only one DS9 writer anyway... Ron Moore.

There's something to this idea. I'm not sure if I'd take it in exactly that direction, but I like it...

I think that a ship that had difficulty in defeating the Kazon is just useless junk - they did defeat Species 8472 with it, but that was mostly the nanoprobe torpedoes, so the ship is still useless.

In the new Star Trek The Magazine there was an interview with Ms Mulgrew. In it she made no reference to wanting to leave Voyager. She said that she really enjoys working on it.

She made her original tatement then backed down the next day. I like Kate Mugrew, but Janeway has made some ridiclous decisions, like risking her ship to save Seca's/Chacotay's son who turned out to be Culla's anyway, and losing her ship. I'am interested in seeing this weekends Voyager, and seeing the Equinox

Don't be too rough on the beloved Cap'n Kate, Excalibur. That decision wasn't hers but Michael Piller's.
Chakotay works best as a foil against her. In fact, the series would fall apart without her, IMHO. Pay Mulgrew more, or give her Tuesdays off or whatever. It only needs to be one extra yer on her contract.
Sheesh, they spend so long fixing Voyager, and whe it finally works well, they flirt with replacing the lead! No way to run a railroad....

I'm pretty sure it's only Moore... Perhaps I'm mistaken...
Yes, I agree with Monty. She practically holds the series together!

No, you're right, Ron Moore is the only new writer on the show. Rene Echevarria was heavily rumored to be joining the staff, but it wasn't true.
Mulgrew is just jockeying for more money with all these statements. Watch Paramount offer her a big fat pay increase for year 7. If she accepts, you'll never hear her complain again.

I had also read somewhere, that Voyager had to be off it's sets before the contracts ran out, and that if there was a season seven, it would be shot early.
