This month's U.K. Star Trek Magazine (#119), on sale January 20, celebrates a decade of Star Trek: Voyager. For most, it hardly seems possible that it was 10 years ago when the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 was stranded in the Delta Quadrant and Captain Kathryn Janeway and her crew commenced their journey home. This latest issue features a new interview with Kate Mulgrew (see below) as she takes a look back at the series in a conversation with writer Ian Spelling.

But without lingering on the past, this issue also has interviews with Scott Bakula and Brent Spiner on the set of the fourth season Star Trek: Enterprise episode "The Augments" as well as a set report. You will find all the latest news, plus an update from Enterprise Executive Producer Rick Berman.

There's yet another reason to not miss the Star Trek Magazine this month. As well as the excellent selection of Star Trek news, interviews and features, this issue features a free guide to Voyager's Season 5! Brush up on all the episodes, from the creation of a Superborg in "Drone," comic book capers in "Bride of Chaotica!," lessons in social skills in "Someone to Watch Over Me" and more!

From issue 119 of the Star Trek Magazine:

Heading into the weeks and then days before her seven years on Star Trek: Voyager ended, Kate Mulgrew says she felt no fear. She worried not about typecasting or life after so long a time spent in one place, on one show, playing one character. "Fear?" Mulgrew asks. "I felt none at all. First of all, I was so tired and very much looking forward to the rest. I was just too tired to fear anything. Also, I felt very proud of the work, and when you're filled with that sense of wellbeing you're hardly looking at the dark side. It's only since the show ended that I've realized I'm getting older and things are going to get tougher. But that's just life. You deal with it or you don't, and I choose to deal with."

Mulgrew also reveals she is delighted by the continued success of her one-woman play, "Tea at Five," which centers on the life of actress Katharine Hepburn. "I still have it on the road," she reveals. "I went to Phoenix recently and we sold out a 1,500-seat house every night. They loved it. I did this show in New York and in several other cities. People love it. That, to me, is very rewarding."

Mulgrew is however still looking for other roles, she says, ­ but it's not always easy. "Do I want to do other things? Absolutely. Will I need to do other things? Of course. Are offers flying through the door or the fax machine or the e-mail? No, they are not. But I don't think they're doing that for anybody out there.

"This business gets tougher as you get older, especially for women as we age," Mulgrew explains. "Television and film are selling beauty and sex and all those things that are now passing me by. And it's appropriate. They should be passing me by. I am aging, and I accept that. But just like Judi Dench and so many other actresses of a certain age that I respect I think and I say, 'I have so much more to offer now.'"

The interview also includes her thoughts on the tenth anniversary of Star Trek: Voyager and her gratitude to the fans who continue to support her work beyond the show.
