The two Doctor episodes so far were pretty good. There's the Grendel episode and the Barclay episode that I've seen. Neelix is the worst. He's currently gaslighting Kes and it's gross.

the death flags surrounding Jadzia in season 6 of DS9 are starting to scare me, I honestly thought she was gonna bite it in Change of Heart. Also, the Section 31 outfits are so loving dumb when they let Bashir out of the holoprogram in The Inquisition. Season 6 is wrapping up and I feel that things are about to just go way off the rails like it did at the end of season 5 edit: OH poo poo, next episode is In the Pale Moonlight!!!

god drat, now I understand why everyone holds In the Pale Moonlight in such high regard. That closing monologue is absolutely spine-crawling, considering what Sisko has been like before when doing such questionable things

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Was Nemesis really that bad it has some fun dumb action movie moments like driving a fighter craft through the scimitar and the dune buggy jump into the shuttle. otherwise yes. it's that bad. no one is acting like the characters you love, the guest stars are either completely hidden (ron perlman) or completely hidden due to bad direction (tom hardy). only for completists.

To make an actual contribution to this thread, here's my controversial opinion which I have been thinking about more than is reasonable lately: Pulaski was the better doctor Unlike Crusher, who only ever shone in the scenes where she was mothering, she had actual personality and wit. She had a lot in common with Bones, in that she often made the other crew members seem stiff and out of touch and acted as a foil to Spock/Data. The people complaining about her just wanted Crusher back on screen because Gates McFadden is hot, and they didn't care for a female main crew character with pointed opinions who could spar just as well of the rest of the command crew instead of getting shot down every time and quietly huffing about it.

Fans forget that Pulaski had a character arc where she was one of Data's biggest supporters in the wargames episode (I can't think of the name). 2. Pulaski brought some much needed tension in a cast that was otherwise squeaky clean and got along too well. 3. Pulaski forced legitimate, tough questions about Data: is he sentient? Do we treat him like LCARS or like a human? etc.

Season 1 had an issue developing characters, so it's no surprise that Crusher was underdeveloped. And then no surprise that they focused on developing a new character rather than developing the whole roster. Also hard to tell if Pulaski's initial "being mean to Data" was an intentional start to a character arc, or something the writers thought was a good idea at the time that they evolved themselves out of it.

They wanted Pulaski to be the female McCoy, and a big part of McCoy's character was that he was an rear end in a top hat to Spock, and Data was TNG's Spock, only early TNG Data was basically just a child with an encyclopedia set for a brain and without the wit to land comebacks like Spock could, so it very quickly strayed into "why is the mean lady bullying the pale autistic guy? I don't like this" territory and never really recovered from that.

It’s absolutely intentional. She changes her mind about him in “Unnatural Selection” (the one where she gets mega old) and by “Peak Performance” is actively defending him to himself.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:I think the fact that she was being a bit poo poo for doing it was supposed to be part of the arc Yeah, that's her arc, as pointed out above, I'm just saying that audience perception of her kind of solidified into "the angry lady who's mean to Data all the time" fairly quickly and that's kind of Pulaski's legacy when you ask anyone to remember anything about her character from the brief time she was a part of the TNG family.

Nothing about Pulaski is downright bad, and she could've turned out fine if she stuck around. Obviously she'll be lumped in with various other "weird early season stuff" because she's not in the better era of the show, but I don't think most people really hated her. I do think they were forcing the McCoy parallels a little too much. They even gave her his fear of transporters, c'mon.

Muldaur famously had a lot of trouble with the technobabble, and the rest of the cast actively resented her because she was actually the highest-paid member of the cast (remember, she was never in the opening credits, she was always credited as Special Guest Star). I don't think she was ever going to stay around, and she was much happier doing LA Law. Timby fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Nov 8, 2023 |

Do you think the turbo lift shafts have safety force fields to keep people from falling to their deaths Based on what happened to that lift in the disaster episode I'm going to say no

Got to the end of S3 of Voyager and S5 of Deep Space Nine. Voyager has a pretty cool finally with the Borg and all but Deep Space Nine's finale with the Dominion attacking DS9 and Starfleet vacating... that might have been the best season finale in the franchise. What was up with those weird eye things Dukat and Weyoun were wearing?

Also Quark is capable of desiring multiple women at the same time, like I imagine most people are. I would also assume that he's not particularly invested in monogamy.
