Pick posted:The crazy thing is Lwuxana is only in 9 episodes total, between TNG and DS9. Memorable though. It definitely helped that she was Gene’s wife, Nurse Chapel, the computer, and a fairly visible part of the franchise as a whole from TNG-onwards.

And Pike's Number One who was a pretty good pretty major character I haven't seen her much as Nurse Chapel except for one where she gets obsessed with brushing her hair and looking in the mirror a lot and not saying very much. I'm hoping that changes after TOS S1

The Bloop posted:Just saw an Orville season 2 commercial during the Jaguars weekly drubbing It’s a casting thing, so I don’t think it counts as a spoiler, but I wasn’t aware until recently that Alara won’t be in season 2 at all because the actress was busy with another gig while they were filming. They cast someone else as a different character of the same race. It really sucks because I thought Alara was one of the best aspects of the show thus far.

Defiant - Hell yeah, Tom Riker.  He steals the Defiant on behalf of the Maquis, and inadvertently pulls our pals into the middle of some Cardassian political intrigue. Fascination - Ok, now this is a horny episode...which of course means Lwaxana is in town! No big deal, just a case of empath hot flashes which send everyone into a tizzy. Past Tense - Wolfe & Behr, in 1994: Hm, what's a good concept for a time travel episode? How about, 30 years from now, the US is a stratified fascist society with an isolated and oppressed underclass? It's just outlandish enough to work! Me, in 2018:

Laterite posted:Past Tense - I love "Past Tense." It seems like the writers knew how plausible the scenario was, but I may be wrong about that. Fun fact: I got caught scrambling for a costume for a Halloween party years ago and ended up going as Ben Sisko as Gabriel Bell. The hosts were also huge nerds so I knew they'd get the joke. I found a Sanctuary District logo online and made an ID badge that read, SANCTUARY DISTRICT A NAME: TOTALLY GABRIEL BELL FOR SURE Otherwise, I just wore my normal street clothes.

I've been slowly making my way through Voyager, it's the only Star Trek series I haven't watched besides Discovery. It's been a bit of a slog, but I just watched the episode Fury and man that's probably the first one to really annoy me, probably because Kes is one of the few characters I liked. Usually the bad episodes are just dull. What a disappointment at what they did with her character.

I’m alternating between Deep Space Nine and Voyager and let me tell you, going from “Parturition” to ”The Visitor” just perfectly highlights the vast gulf in quality between the two shows.

I wonder if the writers room for Voyager kept tabs on DS9 and got really self conscious. VOY staff: poo poo, did you guys see that 10 part finale for DS9? We gotta bring our A-game. Also VOY staff: lets hire the rock to wrestle 7 of 9

I was watching a best of Voyager for something in the background that I didn't have to pay too much attention to. It's not a bad show when you only watch like 30 selected episodes.

Being incompetent but trying is much better than being competent but not giving a poo poo. The absolute privilege of writing for Star Trek, and phoning it in. Though I'm not sure they were, apparently the writers were very excited to write new stories for Seven when she came. Probably just had poo poo bosses aka Berman Alan_Shore fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Dec 10, 2018 |

That’s pretty much what I gathered. It was the perfect poo poo storm of directives from Berman, corporate pressure from UPN, and what amounted to trying to squeeze something fresh from what was essentially TNG season 14. Enthusiasm and motivation to even try was pretty much nonexistent.
