….Memorial, With Your Help "Although the esteemed captain of the U.S.S. Voyager, tireless scientist and lover of dramatic off-camera stares, won't actually be born for a few centuries yet in the Star Trek timeline, CBS has announced a new collaboration that hopes to honor Kathryn Janeway with her very own monument in her hometown of Bloomington, Indiana. Voyager first established Bloomington—itself the hometown of Voyager co-creator and producer Jeri Taylor—as Janeway's place of birth in the season seven episode "Imperfection." But her ties back to the state of Indiana were already established in season five's "11:59," which looked back at Janeway's ancestors in the then-modern U.S., during the construction of the aforementioned Millennium Gate, the first self-sustaining civic environment built on Earth in Star Trek history. So it's fitting then, that with the permission of CBS, a new crowdfunding campaign seeks to build a monument to one of Starfleet's future finest on the city's B-Line trail. Main page

Does Captain Kirk have one yet? If not, he should get one first, since he is/was the best, and first Captain of the famous/infamous series and those spun off/created afterwards. Ah, yes, apparently he does indeed, in Riverside, Iowa. The memorial is dated slightly more than 200 years into the future, as the Future birthplace of James T. Kirk. Who knew? |

I visited Riverside, Iowa, about 14 years ago -- couple blocks wide by a few blocks long. Metal Enterprise in the park as you drive into town. The Kirk 'Memorial' is in between (at that time) a Nostalgia Shop and a Funeral Headstone Shop down an 'alley" (so to speak). |

I predict that some prankster will cover the "Janeway" name with "Mrs. Columbo"… ;-) |
