As a woman who ended up in STEM i would say there was a combo influence of Janeway, Torres, Scully, Sam Carter (SG1)...you could probably throw Dax in that mix too.
Janeway, Scully and Carter are the holy trinity of TV lead GOATS.... intelligent ladies commanding respect that, if real, I'd neither want to disappoint nor piss off.
love The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway, I listened to the audiobook and Kate Mulgrew gets back into the role like she never left, giving real weight to a back story we never saw on screen.
I personally prefer Mosaic to the autobiography. Jeri Taylor wrote young Kathryn with more personality and character flaws, and then we see her grow into the captain we all know. I think Taylor's writing style was also far better. I did enjoy the autobiography, but it's nowhere near as good as Mosaic.
@Bastion90 - there is a 3 young adult book series: "Star Trek Voyager Starfleet Academy" where it tells the story of Janeway's first, possibly some of the 2nd year at the Academy. Shows some of Janeway's admiration of Amelia Earhart. The individual book titles under the above mentioned banner: "Lifeline," "The Chance Factor," and "Quarantine." I personally recommend them for more of Janeway's backstory. I did just finish a Lost Era Star Trek book titled: "Deny Thy Father" and while it focuses more on Kyle and Will Riker, Janeway does make a brief appearance as an Ensign working as an aid for Admiral Paris (i presume before the El-Batani) and assists Paris and Kyle Riker to flush out a sabateur in Starfleet
so awesome to see Ellie talking about her favorite person in Trek. Very well done video! Also, hilarious my algorithm brought this video up 28 seconds after posting. Ellie and I talked in Vegas last summer about a video that had posted that day and she was surprise at how fast many of us saw it already. She didn't even know it was posted.
Well done, on coverage of a legendary character, and the journey she went on. But also the performance, energy, and passion Kate Mulgrew brought to every scene
Of course it's Ellie doing a Janeway deep dive :D Great vid, lots of good info. I love all the ST captains and Kate Mulgrew did a fantastic job as a leading character ! She absolutely nails the gravitas that a Starfleet Captain should embody but in her own way.
I didn't know about the Italian astronaut--and that's incredibly cool. And I can promise that like Janeway--without coffee--you'd never get me into space... Nice list!
I'm always amazed how much women have been inspired by Kate Mulgrew and her portrayal of Captain Janeway. I mean if I'm an actor and someone did some of the amazing stuff that Kate Mulgrew inspired I'd be proud of what I did.
Catherine Janeway, a captain bold, Met young Tom Paris, so we're told. Her name changed twice, before it stuck, Kate's method acting showed her pluck. No romance with crew, she did decree, Though Chakotay held her heart, you see. Engaged to Mark, her distant beau, And once to Justin, long ago. Her father and Justin, both were lost, A tragedy of immense cost. Sister Phoebe, mentioned in Prodigy, Completed Janeway's family tree. A hero to women in STEM, Inspiring them, a precious gem. Janeway's story, rich and deep, In Trekkie hearts, she'll always keep.
Janeway is my favorite captain. I always thought she was unique in how she handled everything. But she commanded that ship with a power that inspired me to lead others like she did.
Mulgrew was suffering from a cold at the time she auditioned for Janeway, which she thought was one of the reasons why the role went to Bujold. The reason why Bujold left is due to the fact that she was a movie actress and was unprepared for the more hectic pace of shooting TV episodes. Ultimately, she had to drop out. This, of course, gave Mulgrew (who had recovered from her cold) a rare second chance at Janeway and nailed the second audition. And a Star Trek legend is born.... 🖖😎👍
I think the coolest element of this video is that little kid who's already this into Voyager, and/or Star Trek in general. Someone's raising them right.
I LOVED this video! Voyager is my all time Top Trek and Janeway has always been my Captain. I'll admit when i clicked on the vid i thought to myself, "I'm sure I'll know all of these" I WAS WRONG! You touched on points and character moments that are often overlooked and semi-forgotten. Thank you! Also, now i have to re-read Mosaic & the Autobiography! 🖖❤
I appreciate the researcher and writer of this video actually dug deeper than 99% of media about Janeway. I normally watch videos like this and learn nothing new, but I picked up quite a new few facts and tidbits here. Thank you for your efforts!
I don't know if I "learned" anything, I'm sure there were a few details I was ignorant of (Linda Hamilton as Captain...), but the real test will be when I show this to my Janeway loving daughter (and granddaughter). As always, thank you all so very much for the videos.
Regarding her mother's profession: why not both? Consider Brian May, the lead guitarist for Queen, is also a PhD astrophysicist who has worked with NASA.
The scene in Scientific Method where Janeway gets rid of the aliens who are experimenting on the crew is the most badass scene in all of Star Trek IMO.
Thank you for the video... definitely learned some new things today. I can't imagine anyone else playing our dear Captain, but I'm intrigued by the idea of Lindsey Wagner in the role.
They should have had a Voyager episode where they had a mix of alternate actors and cast actors playing the roles they auditioned for, playing a crew/ship from a parallel universe, crossing over and encountering the prime crew/ship.

And when this show debuted, there was real concern that viewers might not be able to accept a woman commanding a star ship. Thank goodness we've grown up some since those days.
I was one who wanted Janeway and Chakotay to have a romantic relationship in Voyager - but I understand why Kate Mulgrew knew it would have a negative bearing on her authority as Captain if she did. What I did not know was that Mulgrew admitted that Kathryn was in love with Chakotay - wow! Although that might ha ve simply been for the benefit of the youngster at the convention who asked the question.
I was wondering if Geneviève Bujold / Nicole Janeway would be mentioned, and Ellie gets to that less than a minute into the video. I'm impressed with how much Ellie has improved as a narrator on this channel.
Kate's portrayal of Queen Arachnia is by far my favourite moment in Star Trek. It was campy, over the top and hilarious! What made it even better is that it was far removed from any other role Kate has played.
Though a different series altogether, the name "Kate" was applied to another of Mulgrew's characters she portrayed when they scrubbed the show title "Mrs. Columbo", a short-lived series intended to be a spin-off from Columbo starring Peter Falk, and replaced it with "Kate loves a mystery", as it was deemed that Mulgrew at the time was far too young to actually be portraying Lt. Columbo's wife, given the established long-time relationship between himself and the ever-unseen Mrs. Columbo... :)
I am not surprised that they had Ellie doing the V/O narration of this one. She LOVES Kate Mulgrew and Captain Janeway. She was vibrating with glee when she met her IRL.
I think a lot of ways her lack of foreknowledge of Star Trek was a great asset, because instead of trying to play the captain the way that captains who had proceeded her were played, she was able to give Janeway her own flare and I think that worked to her advantage greatly
ONe thing about WHY some of the actresses were not chosen was the 3 of them had already sent $$$ requests, one sent a request she would be a producer and have final say in all scripts and one only wanted to work 4 days a week, 8 hour days. I was at a con a few years ago and one of the producers dropped those tid bits. But he did not mention any names
You cannot deny that whether surrigate mother/son relationship or potentially adventurous romantic, both McNeil and Mulgrew and their respective characters have chemistry on screen. I could picture a young Paris boy having a crush on that rising star when they went on a flight simulator... And in multiple episodes, Janeway clearly takes him as her protégé, not hesitating of taping him on the shoulder, even in earmier episodes, something that we would do much less on Harry Kim, who, despite looking at the same way, as a protégé, she classifies him as the "child" of the family. If Paris and kim had been her children, Paris would have been slightly the favorite. And given what is said in Threshold when Tom excuses himself about what happened, she mysteriously says that it might have been him who initiated it... Janeway, the repressed Cougar. Might have been one of her alternate universes versions, no doubt. Of course JC chemistry is above all... I never criticized the decision of not gong further towards Chacotay, given his position in the crew. I always saw why Janeway never gave up, it's not heartless, it's a decision that she had the right to take, as captain of a stranded Starship on the other side of the galaxy. Had they settled down on a planet for good, had they been in the Alpha Quadrant where Chacotay could have requested a transfer, things might have been different. Janeway's decision and Chacotay's understanding of it is also what gives charm to that relationship. No matter her experience in Sci Fy, Mulgrew had the acting experience and method to incarnate ANY character possible and adapt accordingly, that what counts and that is what sold it for me, she is talented, she has class and charisma. She had what it takes. What about the Sam Carter effect? After all Amanda Tapping also studied some astrophysics to be sure her character wasn't telling bullcrap on screen... So Mulgrew is not the only one to portray competent women and still steal our hearts...
I found Kate's book _My Life With Teeth_ at Dollar Tree and was astounded at how much her photo on the cover looked exactly like my estranged wife. I gave her the book in the hopes it would help her overcome her addictions and understand why Voyager is my favorite of all the shows. She has been crack free for almost 18 months now.
She did violate its principles, including the prime directive, from time to time, but so did other captains like Kirk and Picard both of whom were within communications range of Starfleet and could have been advised if they had encountered a situation where she was not in communications range for most of the time and thus had to make her decisions on her own and decide for herself whether violating The protocol was worth it or not.
I always thought Kate Mulgrew would be a badass president if she ever went into politics. She plays a leader most convincingly and I'll bet it translates into real life!
I've seen a lot of these "10 Things You Didn't Know About…" videos, but this is one of the best. Of course, itmay have to do with how much care both Jeri Taylor and Kate Mulgrew put into creating and portraying the character.
I can accept the many actors who played several characters on the various Star Treks. However, I don't think I could have seen Susan Gibney as anyone, but Dr. Leah Brahms.
I highly recommend everyone listen to the audio book “the autobiography of Kathryn Janeway” narrated by Kate Mulgrew. Aside from, as mentioned in the video, some minor ret conning it is a phenomenal book.
Of course I learned something. You could casually mention something you take for granted about this character and I guarantee there's at least a 75% chance no one else has even considered the possibility. That's not a bad thing; always own your passions. Also, couldn't her mother have been a mathematician who wrote children's books? Look at Da Vinci and all of the different things he accomplished. Are you going to suggest that the mother of the GREAT WOMAN HERSELF wasn't comparable to that guy? For shame! There's a reason, I suggest with nothing at all to back up my claim, that Da Vinci was one of the Captain's top inspirations. P.S. TH-cam autocorrect tried to tell me that "Captain" shouldn't be capitalized. I ignored it, as any sensible person would.
Ms. Jeri Taylor's Mosaic is actually considered canon (as was the novel Pathways) as Ms. Taylor had a hand in Voyager's production. Lindsay Wagner & Kate Jackson would've made for an interesting CO for Voyager. Nicole was also a better first name. Its said Nana Visitor also lobbied Rick Berman to head Voyager but he nixed the idea.
Pretty nice list and I agree with the number one pick, but... yes but... Nichelle Nichols surpassed that role as a pillar for a much larger audience throughout the Trek History so maybe you could do a list about Uhura as well next time... Good Luck with that!
As much as I loved Kate Mulgrew and her splendid delivery of Captain Janeway, I can't help but wondering what Geneviève Bujold would have done with the role. :)
I agree with the decision not to have Chakotay and Janeway "get busy", though I maintain that what happened in "Resolutions" stayed there. Regardless, i totally shipped them. Also, I can see the memes if they'd chosen Susan Gibney... FLED 70,000 LIGHT YEARS TO ESCAPE GEORDI'S STALKING!
It's pretty clear that when she referred to losing the man that she was engaged to, she was talking about Mark since that's Alpha Cannon and Justin is beta Cannon and has never been mentioned or even eluded to in alpha
Does anyone know why 7 only wore that high collor brown outfit in the episode scientific method only the one time? It was so much better then her other brown outfit they kept her in 😮💨
Probably it was uncomfortable or didn't resonated with the audience. Most of the female roles had to put up with some sort of hellish outfit at some time.
@@GabePuratekuta yes look up that episode scientific method, the outfit was a brown version of the silver one she started off with, she only wore it in that one episode and never again.
As a woman who ended up in STEM i would say there was a combo influence of Janeway, Torres, Scully, Sam Carter (SG1)...you could probably throw Dax in that mix too.
Honor to all of them!!! And to their houses! (including Jadzia and Ezri Dax)
Please don't forget Nichelle Nicols
Yep, that's about right. Add Crusher.
OMG Sam Carter
Janeway, Scully and Carter are the holy trinity of TV lead GOATS.... intelligent ladies commanding respect that, if real, I'd neither want to disappoint nor piss off.
love The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway, I listened to the audiobook and Kate Mulgrew gets back into the role like she never left, giving real weight to a back story we never saw on screen.
Some minor retconning aside It’s so damn good
I also enjoyed listening to Kate Mulgrew's reading of Jeri Taylor's Mosaic... original book revealing the character origins
I personally prefer Mosaic to the autobiography. Jeri Taylor wrote young Kathryn with more personality and character flaws, and then we see her grow into the captain we all know. I think Taylor's writing style was also far better. I did enjoy the autobiography, but it's nowhere near as good as Mosaic.

Giving up smoking is why that episode was so real ❤❤❤
That was something I didn't know, but as an ex smoker I can totally identify with. Next level Mulgrew chops!
My favorite character in my favorite series, since I was a teenager. Thank you so much to help us continue the journey with this video !
My absolute favorite Starfleet Captain. Love Janeway!!

Met young Tom Paris, so we're told.

Her father and Justin, both were lost,
A tragedy of immense cost.
Sister Phoebe, mentioned in Prodigy,
Completed Janeway's family tree.
A hero to women in STEM,
Inspiring them, a precious gem.
Janeway's story, rich and deep,
In Trekkie hearts, she'll always keep.
Janeway is my favorite captain. I always thought she was unique in how she handled everything. But she commanded that ship with a power that inspired me to lead others like she did.

Kathryn Janeway is my Captain. Always will be.
OMG, I teared up when I saw the astronaut in space in voyagers suit.
Regarding her mother's profession: why not both? Consider Brian May, the lead guitarist for Queen, is also a PhD astrophysicist who has worked with NASA.
Janeway was always my favorite captain! She seemed more approachable than the other captains.
Captain Janeway is such a bada$$ character! Let's get a 3rd+ season of Prodigy to help flesh out that JC storyline!
She really was but seasons 5-6-7 she kind of lost allot of her edge.
i really want a third one too
HEAR HEAR!!!
The scene in Scientific Method where Janeway gets rid of the aliens who are experimenting on the crew is the most badass scene in all of Star Trek IMO.
Gretchen Janeway could be both a mathematician and a children's author. Lewis Carroll was both, after all.
You forgot Erin Grey from 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" also auditioned for the role of Janeway
While I believe they ultimately made the best choice, Erin Grey would've been really good for the role.
Thank you for the video... definitely learned some new things today. I can't imagine anyone else playing our dear Captain, but I'm intrigued by the idea of Lindsey Wagner in the role.
They should have had a Voyager episode where they had a mix of alternate actors and cast actors playing the roles they auditioned for, playing a crew/ship from a parallel universe, crossing over and encountering the prime crew/ship.
yeah! this could be a better explanation for the "impossible, but still the same people exists in the parallel universe"

I needed that. Thanks Ellie!
Great video, Ellie!
You forgot the most important Janeway fact: Janeway is the most badass captain in Starfleet history!
How do I know Ellie would be the narrator in this one! 😉
Those were interesting and I knew most but not ALL of them! Good Job!
I'm almost finished with Prodigy season 2. I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends.

You know you've been watching TrekCulture for a long time when you see a title and instantly know it'll be an Ellie video, lol.
That’s probably more of a reflection on me than you! 😅😅
I do want a third season of prodigy to establish that story between janeway and chakotay
Though a different series altogether, the name "Kate" was applied to another of Mulgrew's characters she portrayed when they scrubbed the show title "Mrs. Columbo", a short-lived series intended to be a spin-off from Columbo starring Peter Falk, and replaced it with "Kate loves a mystery", as it was deemed that Mulgrew at the time was far too young to actually be portraying Lt. Columbo's wife, given the established long-time relationship between himself and the ever-unseen Mrs. Columbo... :)
When i saw "Janeway" on the title, i said to myself "this NEEDS TO BE narrated by Ellie."
And here we are.
Sean doesn't look good wearing a red wig, anyway.
@@GabePuratekuta I'm not so sure about that. I think i remember him wear a colored wig before. 🙂
@@BaldAndCurious A red one?
I am not surprised that they had Ellie doing the V/O narration of this one. She LOVES Kate Mulgrew and Captain Janeway. She was vibrating with glee when she met her IRL.
I practically BEGGED to write this one! 😅
i learned alot thank you!
Yeap.
I am the woman i am today because of Janeway and I am completely unashamed of saying so.
From the thumbnail, I thought you were going to say Sarah Connor was her great great grandmother. It would explain her dislike for the Borg.
the video Ellie was waiting for, part II coming when? :D
I was at the Comic Con where she was asked about him. So funny to see this here!
I think a lot of ways her lack of foreknowledge of Star Trek was a great asset, because instead of trying to play the captain the way that captains who had proceeded her were played, she was able to give Janeway her own flare and I think that worked to her advantage greatly
ONe thing about WHY some of the actresses were not chosen was the 3 of them had already sent $$$ requests, one sent a request she would be a producer and have final say in all scripts and one only wanted to work 4 days a week, 8 hour days. I was at a con a few years ago and one of the producers dropped those tid bits. But he did not mention any names
You cannot deny that whether surrigate mother/son relationship or potentially adventurous romantic, both McNeil and Mulgrew and their respective characters have chemistry on screen.
I could picture a young Paris boy having a crush on that rising star when they went on a flight simulator...
And in multiple episodes, Janeway clearly takes him as her protégé, not hesitating of taping him on the shoulder, even in earmier episodes, something that we would do much less on Harry Kim, who, despite looking at the same way, as a protégé, she classifies him as the "child" of the family.
If Paris and kim had been her children, Paris would have been slightly the favorite.
And given what is said in Threshold when Tom excuses himself about what happened, she mysteriously says that it might have been him who initiated it... Janeway, the repressed Cougar. Might have been one of her alternate universes versions, no doubt.
Of course JC chemistry is above all...
I never criticized the decision of not gong further towards Chacotay, given his position in the crew. I always saw why Janeway never gave up, it's not heartless, it's a decision that she had the right to take, as captain of a stranded Starship on the other side of the galaxy. Had they settled down on a planet for good, had they been in the Alpha Quadrant where Chacotay could have requested a transfer, things might have been different. Janeway's decision and Chacotay's understanding of it is also what gives charm to that relationship.
No matter her experience in Sci Fy, Mulgrew had the acting experience and method to incarnate ANY character possible and adapt accordingly, that what counts and that is what sold it for me, she is talented, she has class and charisma. She had what it takes.
What about the Sam Carter effect? After all Amanda Tapping also studied some astrophysics to be sure her character wasn't telling bullcrap on screen... So Mulgrew is not the only one to portray competent women and still steal our hearts...
I found Kate's book _My Life With Teeth_ at Dollar Tree and was astounded at how much her photo on the cover looked exactly like my estranged wife. I gave her the book in the hopes it would help her overcome her addictions and understand why Voyager is my favorite of all the shows.
She has been crack free for almost 18 months now.
Prodigy has been such a good Voyager sequel
I didn't know that. Thank you.
Well right off the bat there was something I didn't know, Margaret being her middle name. Never stated of screen though, as far as I can recall.
Mulgrew was amazing as Janeway, but Linda Hamilton would have been a different kind of greatness
Just imagine Hamilton doing the Borg episodes.
Ellie brightens my day
She’s my favorite Starfleet Captain because we see how she acts in the absence of Starfleet, with honor and integrity to its principles
She did violate its principles, including the prime directive, from time to time, but so did other captains like Kirk and Picard both of whom were within communications range of Starfleet and could have been advised if they had encountered a situation where she was not in communications range for most of the time and thus had to make her decisions on her own and decide for herself whether violating The protocol was worth it or not.
There is no other way like the Janeway.
While I am typing this the menory is Fading Fast BUT it was is ! VERY INTERESTING so Thank You ;
I remember feeling that Mosaic informed much of the Janeway character in the actual show. I highly recommend it if you love Janeway.
I always thought Kate Mulgrew would be a badass president if she ever went into politics. She plays a leader most convincingly and I'll bet it translates into real life!
Captain Janeway has a tattoo on her forearm that says, "It's true, Worf IS the greatest poker player."
I've seen a lot of these "10 Things You Didn't Know About…" videos, but this is one of the best. Of course, itmay have to do with how much care both Jeri Taylor and Kate Mulgrew put into creating and portraying the character.
Janeway's sister is also mentioned in the third season episode "Sacred Ground."
I can accept the many actors who played several characters on the various Star Treks. However, I don't think I could have seen Susan Gibney as anyone, but Dr. Leah Brahms.
Gibney also plays Captain Benteen in the DS9 two-parter "Homefront/Paradise Lost", connected to Admiral Leyton's schemes.
Thanks. 🖖🏻
I wanted the Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway for myself to read.
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Nicola Bryant's Janeway.
I highly recommend everyone listen to the audio book “the autobiography of Kathryn Janeway” narrated by Kate Mulgrew. Aside from, as mentioned in the video, some minor ret conning it is a phenomenal book.
Anything left to uncover? I somehow just noticed "Kathryn Margaret"...Capt. Janeway has 2 first names?
That was a surprise to me as well.
Una mcormick's book is great, especially if you get the audio booked voiced by KM
Kate Jackson got her breakthrough on Dark Shadows playing Daphnie Harriage
Wow, Ellie is striking.
Of course I learned something. You could casually mention something you take for granted about this character and I guarantee there's at least a 75% chance no one else has even considered the possibility. That's not a bad thing; always own your passions.
Also, couldn't her mother have been a mathematician who wrote children's books? Look at Da Vinci and all of the different things he accomplished. Are you going to suggest that the mother of the GREAT WOMAN HERSELF wasn't comparable to that guy? For shame!

P.S. TH-cam autocorrect tried to tell me that "Captain" shouldn't be capitalized. I ignored it, as any sensible person would.
Janeway does frequent the Da Vinci holodeck program as seen in "Scorpion Pt 1" and "Concerning Flight" so it's pretty clear she's inspired by him.
Ms. Jeri Taylor's Mosaic is actually considered canon (as was the novel Pathways) as Ms. Taylor had a hand in Voyager's production.
Lindsay Wagner & Kate Jackson would've made for an interesting CO for Voyager.
Nicole was also a better first name.
Its said Nana Visitor also lobbied Rick Berman to head Voyager but he nixed the idea.
Wasn't there a Janeway on TNG
As a bonus, there is a real Captain Janeway Statue in Bloomington Indiana and a website dedicated to it.
Is Captain Proton really a fan favorite? I always hated when they did those episodes.
I'm not the biggest fan of _VOY_ but I very much enjoyed the Captain Proton bits, especially "Bride of Chaotica."
Linda Hamilton would have been wild as Janeway. Likely even more no nonsense then Kate's Janeway. Interesting what ifs :O
Where is the Ogawa video, guys?!
Pretty nice list and I agree with the number one pick, but... yes but... Nichelle Nichols surpassed that role as a pillar for a much larger audience throughout the Trek History so maybe you could do a list about Uhura as well next time... Good Luck with that!
Love Kathryn ❤
I definitely did not know about some of those beta canon books, that is interesting.
As much as I loved Kate Mulgrew and her splendid delivery of Captain Janeway, I can't help but wondering what Geneviève Bujold would have done with the role. :)
Scoggins was in The Colbys
I would love if Paramount did an animated 'What if...?' series, complete with how Lindsay Wagner and Kate Jackson might have played the role.
I agree with the decision not to have Chakotay and Janeway "get busy", though I maintain that what happened in "Resolutions" stayed there. Regardless, i totally shipped them.
Also, I can see the memes if they'd chosen Susan Gibney... FLED 70,000 LIGHT YEARS TO ESCAPE GEORDI'S STALKING!
It's pretty clear that when she referred to losing the man that she was engaged to, she was talking about Mark since that's Alpha Cannon and Justin is beta Cannon and has never been mentioned or even eluded to in alpha
How did I know before I even started watching this that a Janeway video would be done by Ellie? lol
My favorite captain. Sorry Kirk Picard Cisco and Archer. Captain Janeway is the GOAT. Have you seen the year of hell. 😅
you forgot to mention that Aaron Gray was also considered for Captain Janeway
How can we talk about Kathryn Janeway and forget to mention her beautyful smile?!
0:40 - Heroine of the Delta Quadrant? More like Heroin of the Delta Quadrant.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I didn't Know Linda Hamilton was being considered for the role. I think Helen Slater would have been a fine choice also.
So there is 🙃coffee in space.
Does anyone know why 7 only wore that high collor brown outfit in the episode scientific method only the one time? It was so much better then her other brown outfit they kept her in 😮💨
Probably it was uncomfortable or didn't resonated with the audience.
Most of the female roles had to put up with some sort of hellish outfit at some time.
There was another brown one?
@@GabePuratekuta yes look up that episode scientific method, the outfit was a brown version of the silver one she started off with, she only wore it in that one episode and never again.
