I like when Bashir meets Kiera and tells her he's excited to treat the hicks in this 2 horse town.

His entire into is adorably tone-deaf.

"Yeah well over at StarFleet Medical we had the latest and greatest but here... :sucks in air: it's real frontier medicine, real stuff, not diagnostic panels and hyposprays and replicated organs. Real, honest, artisanal medicine."

Like, he probably saw an abscessed tooth and went on about how only pre-warp civilizations get these and it's like the Black Plague you know real simple hygiene issue ...

He was also in the Orville. Oh yeah and he plays Raj’s dad on The Big Bang Theory too, so I guess Raj and Bashir are half brothers like Spock and Sybok.

The whole plague episode was pretty crazy hosed, with Bashir having to learn that even with his bleeding edge Federation medicine he can't save everyone on his own terms.

Reminded of when a none too confident McCoy manages to successfully heal a Horta and says he thinks he might be a miracle worker.

McCoy healed a rock, Bashir made a vaccine for a brutally genocidal plague, the Doctor did all kinds of silly hologram stuff... iirc, Crusher hosed a candle.

His stellar ubiquity in film and TV is rivaled only by Erick Avari, who is in motherfucking everything, but yet I still associate him as the “no wheezing the juice” guy in Encino Man.

i feel so sad when people don't like early-season bashir because he is the most credible "smart guy who just got out of medical school" character ever. he's a weird dumbass who doesn't know when to shut up and is confused by normal things. it sounds like im being a dick but for real I think it works and i want to give him an affectionate noogie and explain appropriate workplace conduct

That was my favorite part of his performance and then they had to grim him up and downgrade his character. Sucked. I wish he'd have kept some of that original personality.

I also liked that one episode where he imagines a version of Jadzia that's into him and Jadzia takes it with amusement and drills him if that's how he sees her, but only for that.

"Do you really want me that submissive?"

Also it was a literal alien that turned itself onto jadzia based on reading his imagination.


I like his arc, he goes from a brash early 20s kid arrogant and just horny as gently caress and is a calm 30s by the ends who's had some long term relationships and is just a better person all around. The grim wasnt anything the whole show didnt do

Same, or had the arc be more about what he maintains about his optimism (i.e. mature optimism versus eating-Federation-mantra-for-breakfast optimism) and why it matters

frankly ds9 loses wind when it becomes like a 14 year old boy's fanfic version of itself. there's still some good stuff in the later seasons but idk there's a lot of tedious crap

Exploration is ill-advised.
It probably says something about how Crusher got poorly served that even Voyager has what everyone agrees to be a better rounded and featured doctor than her. Did they do much with her besides being her Wesley's mom and maybe having a weird love interest of the week? Hell, she got written out for a reason and people kinda preferred her replacement. (despite her being space racist)

And while I haven't seen Enterprise, wasn't Shran the doctor on that?

She got written out because she was being sexually harrassed by Maurice Hurley and she wouldn't just put up with it.

Fair enough on that.

TNG in retrospect really wasn't that good around women. DS9 has its issues, but they outright had a woman with second to top billing as the second in command who had (some) plots that didn't revolve around her vagina.

Yeah, Gene Roddenberry's at least partly to blame for that.

Example: during TNG pre-production, for quite some time he pushed back against the concept of having a Klingon officer on board. (Later on he'd push back against a couple of the Worf episodes because "Worf's not a major character") Didn't like the idea, didn't want a Klingon on the bridge. Then when they're talking about Encounter at Farpoint, one of the writers - I think it was D.C. Fontana - said "hey, someone's gotta be in charge of the saucer when we send it off, let's have a woman commander" and Gene instantly comes back with "nah, let's get that Klingon fella in there."

Roddenberry got severely misogynist in his old age.

Dr. Crusher played off Data really well, and she'll always be the Dancing Doctor.

She did fine when she was in command of the Enterprise during the Descent two-parter.

My own layman's take on Dr. Crusher is that they crippled her character by making her development dependent on Wesley and Picard. She was the first Star Trek character who was also a parent, and she had a weird romance angle with Captain Picard---the very same dude who delivered the corpse of her dead husband to her and also caused his death. She lost the parent angle when Wil left the show. She lost the romance angle when Picard decided to chase Vash's vag. It left her character development pretty shallow compared to the rest of the cast. I really like Dr. Crusher, and I think she was a great contrast to the cantankerous Bones. However, she's not as interesting as Bashir or The Doctor because her character was dependent on others.
