This is suppose to be a Starfleet Facility and possibly Starfleet Headquarters but this scene makes it look like Picard is at customer service trying to renew his Costco Card.

My big problem with Melora is that the disability metaphor was extremely poor because Melora was a completely normal member of a low-gravity species.

Geordi and his vision, the Benzite and their breathing apparatus, the mentioned-but-never-seen cetacean crew members and their SeaQuest dolphin tubes.

While fiction (particularly genre fiction) has made the rear end in a top hat genius man you root for a thing to the point that ignorant people equate being an rear end in a top hat with being a genius, there are almost no examples of rear end in a top hat women in fiction you root for.

LividLiquid posted:I mean, Sci Fi explores marginalized identities by making them aliens all the time. The problem was that she was extremely unlikable. As for Melora: It was a poor representation of the marginalized identity because it came off like Bashir was trying to "cure" her of... being from a low-gravity world. The "cure" angle didn't work for me. There was nothing to "cure." It would have honestly worked better if she was a human with Crashlander syndrome and the story beat of "I can give you the ability to exist comfortably in normal gravity but it will make you unable to function in your home world's gravity" would have been clearer.

If they're going to keep pumping out new Star Treks I want one focused on the Ferengi. Specifically following Morn giving motivational speeches to Ferengi entrepreneurs failing to adjust to the ramifications of Grand Nagus Rom's changes. And The Muse is the worst DS9 episode, so bad it's the only DS9 episode I haven't finished and have no desire to do so. The Jake subplot makes my skin crawl.

For some reason I'm picturing that as a Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares type of set-up, with Morn visiting failing a Ferengi business each week and turning them around. Switch it to Quark as protagonist and I'd be on board.

Marina Sirtis displays real acting chops in the episodes where she, Data and O'Brien get possessed by ghosts, the episode where she joins Worf & Alexander in a western holodeck adventure, and of course the Romulan one. It's a waste that 90% of her episodes involved Troi getting mindraped.

As well as the many other bad things about Melora, it was weird that gravity is suddenly a big problem now when every Star Trek ship ever from the biggest flagship to the smallest shuttle has flawless artificial gravity that never fails no matter how damaged the ship is.,

Specifically following Morn giving motivational speeches to Ferengi entrepreneurs failing to adjust to the ramifications of Grand Nagus Rom's changes. Cold open: Morn at a lectern, he looks up. Grabs his papers and organizes them as the crowd starts applauding wildly, then he turns and walks off the stage. That's his one scene in the episode as the other characters then discuss his speech. Every episode begins this way.

Goddamn, TNG: Rascals is a weird one. I know it's just a late stage wacky idea script, but it still bugs me that the crew's first response to the captain having the body of a child with explicitly mentioned the same mental faculties as before, is "relieve him of duty" and "get used to staying this way, go back to school maybe?" Crusher's insistence that Picard must step down because, maybe, he'll soon start acting like a kid too, is bull. It might've helped if lil' Jean-Luc had shown behavior to lead her to that conclusion first. I was morbidly amused by O'Brien saying "there's a decrease in mass, I may have lost one of them" while transporting them in, not expressing much emotion for the fact that the one might be his wife.

An exultant yawp of joy and relief as your soul is released unexpectedly from crushing bondage would still be unprofessional.

As part of the "O'Brien must suffer" theme I like to imagine that every time he is alone with Keiko he suddenly sees her as a child, gets spooked out, and has to leave.

I am frustrated by the wasted potential of this episode, since it feels like it could have been a lot funnier. It's mildly funny, but you know if DS9 had done it, it would be off the chain. S1 of DS9 is practically all late-TNG ideas so it's a damned shame we never got O'Brien as the one kidded out this time, but on the station, and he's swearing and being all Irish but he looks 12
