How did Kate Mulgrew feel about Jeri Ryan joining the cast of Star Trek: Voyager?

As I recall, the two would overcome the animosity that Mulgrew took responsibility for, and become friends by the time Voyager ended.

Going into Season 4, Voyager was not getting the viewership the executives were hoping for, and decided changing the cast was necessary. To make room for Jeri Ryan, someone else had to go.

Add to it the realization that Ryan was supposed to be exactly the “eye candy” she was determined to not have on the main cast, and Mulgrew was very angry with the producers.

How would you respond to Rep. Nancy Mace's claim that the GOP platform is more in line with what the American people want compared to the left?

Unhappy, to put it mildly.

Garret Wang was originally on the chopping block, which is why Ensign Harry Kim was attacked and nearly killed in “Scorpion, part 1.” However, Wang's agent managed to improve Wang's public image by getting him on People's “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” list.

How should one handle a situation where they suspect their partner of cheating, but their partner denies it and claims it is all in their head?

“Let’s be very straight about something,” said Kate matter of factly “This is on me, not Jeri. She came in and did what she was asked to do. No question about that, and she did it very well. It’s on me, because I’d hoped against hope that Janeway would be sufficient. That we didn’t have to bring a beautiful, sexy girl in. That somehow the power of my command, the vicissitudes of my talent would be sufficient unto the day, because this would really change television, right? That’s what dug me the hardest, that to pick up the numbers they did that… That was my interpretation of it. And that hurt me. I found it sort of insulting. And, of course, she embodied the part, this beautiful girl. But we certainly were utterly professional. I had been nothing short of completely professional, and she did her job. Very well! It was a very good idea that she was half Borg, but it’s on me. I’m sorry it has to be part of this legacy, and I probably should have comported myself better. I should have been more philosophical about it, but in the moment it was difficult.”

In other words, no eye candy.

Mulgrew thought Ryan was being a diva, and very unsympathetic to Ryan's struggles.

Can you fly an American flag in the UK in your own private property there? What is the UK’s government stance on that? And if yes, do you also have to fly the UK flag or the American flag can fly solo?

The Borg costume that Ryan originally appeared in had a piece that put pressure on Ryan's carotid artery. More than once, it caused Ryan to faint.

As I understand it, Mulgrew was not happy with the change. She was rather protective of the younger Lien.

As the star of the show, Mulgrew had a great deal of influence with the executives. One of her personal goals was to make certain that the female cast members were treated properly.

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

The original catsuit they gave Ryan was a complex suit. She often needed help getting in and out of the costume, resulting in the embarrassing production delays of 30 minutes to an hour so that she could use a restroom.

An anger that only got worse when Ryan had trouble with his costumes.

Mulgrew later regretted this attitude, as the redesign to Ryan's costumes put an end to the delays, and Ryan proved herself a professional and capable actor.

Would Donald Trump's reelection make the world more dangerous?

Jennifer Lien, who was suffering from personal issues as well as her character (Kes) reached a creative dead end, was chosen to leave instead.
