Kate Mulgrew's Admiral Janeway's appearance in 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis earned Star Trek: Voyager a plaudit that it had been trying to achieve since the first movie starring Star Trek: The Next Generation's cast. Mulgrew led the Star Trek: Voyager cast throughout all seven seasons, but because the show began after TNG had already concluded, the only chance for her to appear alongside Patrick Stewart and company was in one of his Star Trek movies. Thankfully, the franchise managed to bring them together in the final feature-length TNG effort.
