I will stand by my opinion that the poster should have had literally any of the main cast on it instead. Brooks, Visitor, Robinson, or Alaimo would have all been infinitely better.

Whatever the focus of the documentary, the universe should be the draw. That face doesn't draw me in... If I were a producer on something, I would never expect or even want to see my face on promo material. It's a marketing whiff.

Also as someone who both currently has a huge beard and used to bleach/dye my own hair on a bi-weekly basis in high school, the logistics behind bleaching and dyeing a goatee and mustache without ending up looking like a deranged Blue Man Group fanboy must be pretty complicated.

Harriman should have been a Lieutenant by rank who was being called "Captain" by position, to make his apparent lack of experience more believable.

But seeing all the chatter here I just wanted to chime in and say I think the doc is worth it for that alone.

I've heard this story before but don't know why they wouldn't take the two minutes to yank the big bits off before he ran out the door. The "Arnold grabbing a sandwich while wearing terminator makeup" story at least presumes he was intending to go back to filming soon.

Alice (VOY S06E05) is one of the worst episodes of Voyager. I usually dislike episodes which involve mind-control. The writers admitted The Chute was created partially because they couldn't think of an idea to make Tom Paris and Harry Kim interesting without making them do something un-Star Trek, so they had to use mind control to induce it. Here, there's a metaphor about being too obsessed with a hobby at the expense of workplace productivity (as in one's main purpose in life, not working for a boss), friends, and family, but it's a boringly transparent metaphor. There's also a little ambiguity as to whether this really counts as cheating on B'Elanna, in a way that the writers wouldn't be willing to show directly because no one wants to cringe-watch a cheater. Memorial (VOY S06E14) was really good. It's interesting that people seem split as to whether Janeway made the right decision repairing the memorial but deploying a warning beacon, on the grounds the beacon and the memorial could in time fall back into a state of disrepair. Any society advanced enough to create the memorial could have deployed the beacon in the first place, but they probably weren't thinking about it because they were only thinking about their own local community and not a broader interstellar community, or perhaps they had a warning beacon and it fell into a state of disrepair by the time Janeway encountered it. I agreed with her decision, though, on the grounds that the beacon being in the Federation data banks will suffice as publicity. There was some good acting all around, and a lot of moments where I was on the edge of my seat expecting a jump scare. galenanorth fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Apr 12, 2019 |
