Tujague posted:Yeah. Many rich young people, who for some strongly relevant reason were born in a certain time and not before, exist in a tiny little post-scarcity society. We know this because we are loving dumbass goons who seem to think that actual smart people just sort of look out the window before ginning up ringing socio-economic truths and just sort of ream them through the poo poo-covered tube of our vague, hilariously unsupportable impressions. Yeah. Top marks from the old critical thinking department. But, its not exactly wrong. Gourmet food shows up anywhere they are with a tap on their phone aka computer. Same for an electric car to shuttle them around driven by someone that is just a few years away from being a talking robot. Same for music, everything recorded is available at a few taps. Literature as well, not that they read it. Powerful computer AI plots and plans their wardrobe for the season, and then sends it to them, automatically, based on their opinion of the last shipment and should spandex jumpsuits ever start to trend they'll be first to be wearing them. They can traverse the ends of the earth without getting wet in the rain, ferried in an 380-sized starship, with beds, showers and more gourmet food, all arranged, by voice command to their computer if they choose via a single tap at their shirt pocket. Never once handling crude cash for any of it. A rich kid of instagram is living what may be the closet thing our civilization may ever get to Roddenberry's vision.

There's a very clear pattern to your little temper tantrums: 1) You start calling the people who you're on the Forums with fat, greasy, throw in a line about cheetos or doritos, etc. 2) You talk about how you're so much more clever than whoever you're mad at 3) Then you act like you're some kind of calculating puppet master when people call you out, then you go back to childish name calling. Rinse and repeat every few pages.

It's pretty cool that all the frizzling sexual chemistry Janeway and Seven had in their scenes together was pretty much fueled entirely out of Kate Mulgrew's hatred for Jeri Ryan. It's not like the writing in anyway supported a sapphic subtext, Berman forbid! That, and they are both good actors

I'm watching TNG and just got to the very first Holodeck Malfunction episode, and Wesley is saying they can't just cut the power because if they do everyone on the holodeck will just disappear. So I guess early holodeck technology converted organic life into holograms while the holodeck was running?

Well, she was basically a blow-up doll. Acting aside, you'd have to stick her in a burqa to keep her from having sexy chemistry with everything else on set.

Holodecks fall apart because they support multiple people. The technology would be more believable if it was a one person at a time rule. A bunch of suites instead of a deck. Interlinked of course for multi participant.

Reading Ryan's interview with Aisha Tyler it sounded like some degree of jealousy from Mulgrew. That being said from what I've read Jeri seems like an alright, down to earth person. She even likes to cook in restaurants.

Clark Nova posted:I've never heard this. What caused the animosity? Jeri Ryan Speaks About Her ‘Intentionally Unpleasant’ Experiences on the “Star Trek: Voyager” Sets http://trekcore.com/blog/2014/11/ryan-mulgrew-feud/ JERI RYAN: The addition of this character… Voyager was the flagship show of the network -- UPN -- and Paramount saw this as this character as their chance to break Star Trek into the mainstream media, and not just the sci-fi mags and things like that. So the Paramount publicity machine went into overdrive with the addition of this character. AISHA TYLER: What season was this? RYAN: This was the beginning of Season Four. Everything was top secret about the character. The costume people didn't see what the makeup people were doing, everything was secret, secret, secret. They didn't want anybody to know anything about it until the day I walked on to set to shoot this -- which is a bunch of other stories! [Laughs] It was crazy. They were very successful in getting the mainstream media to pay attention to it with the addition of the character. TYLER: What were the other stories? It's so far in the past... RYAN: It is so far in the past. Oh, god. [Laughs] TYLER: Pick the one that you feel comfortable sharing. RYAN: It was understandably tough for an existing cast that had been together for three years already. Star Trek, traditionally -- because this was like the fourth incarnation of Star Trek at the time -- was always the Captain, or the Captain and First Officer. Typically, it's the Captain that gets the attention of the press, and the shows revolve around that. So all of a sudden, all of that shifted drastically in Season Four and now the writers, who have been writing for the same seven characters for three years, are salivating for something new to write with. They've got this character that's so rich, because she's not even human when they start out... TYLER: And the whole point of it is what it means to be human, it's a huge storyline. RYAN: Right, there's no better way to do that. Consequently, all the scripts revolved around Seven of Nine and her relationship with the other characters, of course -- which actually ended up leading to some really rich storylines for the other characters. TYLER: There was probably more diversity in terms of storyline for everybody. RYAN: Exactly -- but that's hard, when the new kid comes in and suddenly it's all about them. That was tough, and it was particularly tough for some more than others, which was not real fun. It really made it an unpleasant work experience. TYLER: Did that continue, or did evolve? RYAN: It continued, for quite a while. I mean, for the most part, everybody was phenomenal and absolutely great -- and the guys, my God, I loved my boys on that show. [Laughs] They were hilarious to the point that if I had a two-shot with and then it's my close-up, I had to look off-camera because if I looked at them I'd just break and crack up. But yeah, it was unnecessarily unpleasant for a couple of years -- basically, until I started dating [Brannon Braga]. Once I was dating the boss, funny how things suddenly cleaned up! [Laughs] But it was really, really tough the first couple of years. and there were many days when I was nauseous before going into work because it was that miserable. Just unnecessarily, intentionally unpleasant. TYLER: And such a waste of energy. RYAN: Waste of energy. TYLER: I always feel like there's a strange intimacy on a set that makes difficult sets much more difficult that working at a difficult office -- because you can usually avoid the other person... RYAN: Right. There's no avoidance on a set, and most of my scenes were with this person. TYLER: Oh, god. RYAN: I mean, there was NO avoidance, because it was the richest relationship. They really wanted to capitalize on that. TYLER: I'm not going to ask you... I'm sure people can deduce [who it is] if they spend some time Google-ing. RYAN: Right, yeah. TYLER: I have had friends who have been in situations... where they had a very close co-star, sometimes their love interest, and they really did not like each other off-camera. I know someone who went through this, and they were just not even on speaking terms, and they had to kiss on camera. How was that for you -- did you develop mental tricks? Like, what did you do? RYAN: There was nothing I COULD do -- literally I would be nauseous when I knew these scenes were coming up. When there were a lot of scenes with this person the next day, I was sick to my stomach all night, just miserable. It was so unnecessary and just so petty; things like, oh my God...[Laughs] We'd have scenes -- because a lot of my scenes took place in this set they built for my character called the Astrometrics Lab. It was a really impressive-looking set with this huge, massive, curved green-screen and this giant window. So there's only one entrance to the set, because all the cameras were built up on platforms and stuff to shoot the window -- there was just one set of doors. I remember this one time in particular, I had this once scene with this person, just the two of us. We do their coverage first, and shoot their side of this really dramatic scene, and then it was time for my coverage. Before every close-up, the hair and makeup and wardrobe teams come in and do touch-ups and everything to make sure everything's right... [Laughs wildly] [The co-star] shut the door to the set, and said, "She's fine. LET'S GO." Wouldn't let them in. Just stupid, stupid stuff like that .TYLER: And by the way, out of their job description. RYAN: Exactly. Let people do their jobs. TYLER: Not your call! RYAN: Right, things like that. Another time, I don't even think it was the same day, but a different scene with that person on the same set -- we do their side first, and then it's my coverage on close-up for this really intense scene. The literally sat off-camera picking their nails, thumbing through a book, and just haphazardly saying their lines off camera without even making eye contact. TYLER: It would have been better to just not have them there. RYAN: Yeah, could the [assistant director] just read it off camera? I'm good. TYLER: Anyone? A production assistant? A C-Stand and a tennis ball? It would be better. RYAN: Exactly! It would have been better. It was intentional, purely intentional and unnecessary.p

I can see why Mulgrew would have been pissed. She was the female lead of the show, that's not terribly common type of role for a 40+ actress and by all accounts she was really jazzed about the opportunity to play a trek captain. Then the show is poo poo, the production is lifeless, the writing is godawful, the ratings drop, and the next thing you know they're refocusing the show around a big titted blonde ten years younger than you. It's still totally unprofessional behavior on her part but whatever, when you look at how Beltran behaved and got away with it I'm not surprised the rest of the cast just behaved like a bunch of fuckheads.
