Evil Counterpart: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Star Trek Voyager]]'', Captain Rudolph Ransom (introduced in "Equinox") is this to Janeway. Like Janeway, Ransom is a Starfleet Captain whose crew has been marooned in an uncharted part of the galaxy, who is determined to protect his crew and somehow make it back to Earth. Unlike Janeway, Ransom is willing to use any method to do so, no matter how unethical or downright evil it is, and Prime Directive be damned. His most serious crime involves kidnapping and murdering "nucleogenic lifeforms" (extra dimensional aliens whose bodies emit large amounts of [[Antimatter]]) and using their corpses as fuel. Even worse, he does this after these - rather generous - aliens help them, giving them food and medicine. Janeway, for her part, becomes almost ''obsessed'' with bringing Ransom to justice. Indeed, in an article in ''[[Cinefantastique]]'', contributor Brannon Braga describes Ransom as "an interesting kind of anti-Janeway character."
