Timby posted:Sirtis gradually toned down her accent over the years. She started out mimicking the Greek accent that she grew up with from her parents, and then by the seventh season and the movies, she was just using her London accent. I don't mind Troi's changing accent. By the time of the movies she had been living most of the last decade of her life with the Enterprise crew and peoples accents and voices do change over time.

By the time of the movies she had been living most of the last decade of her life with the Enterprise crew and peoples accents and voices do change over time. John Barrowman is a good specific example of this happening in real life. Living and working in the UK for a couple decades, his accent went from American to having a kind of Vaguely British affectation. It's most noticeable when you compare Torchwood season 4 with NuWho season 1, which were about 6 or 7 years removed from each other. skasion posted:The British accent was telepathic bleed-off from sitting next to Picard all day everyday This also

PerniciousKnid posted:What video was that? I can't find the video but the gist of it was that she couldn't use her real accent because of Patrick Stewart, and her American accent was terrible at the time. So she used this vaguely Greek accent and Rick Berman was like that's the Betazoid accent. But when Majel Barret appeared as Lwaxana she didn't use that accent and Marina asked Berman why and he said that Troi picked up that accent from her father. Except when Troi's father appeared in one episode, he didn't have that accent either, so when Marina asked Berman about it again, he got mad and said that Troi was sent to a boarding school. The video does a much better explanation of it than my summary, so it's worth a look if you can find it.

SIRTIS: You cast a Belarusian actor who learned the lines phonetically. BERMAN: Yes. SIRTIS: How did Deanna pick up this accent from her? BERMAN: Oh, look at the time! I uh have to return some videotapes...

quote:Voq from Disco season 1 It seemed to me like they changed this halfway through the season even - the mirror universe Voq looks and sounds like a lot less of a knuckle-dragger compared to the one we see in the pilot and first few episodes. L'Rell of course is like this in season two, but I couldn't help feel the second round of Voq had different makeup than the first. So I'm watching all the way through DS9 and Bareil is dead. I'm not upset about it, in fact I'm glad. Is he an especially popular character making me the rear end in a top hat here? The Golden Gael fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Aug 28, 2019 |

That’s what they were on last week. Power through and catch up to Greatest Gen.

The running joke my roommate and I had regarding that episode was that his line delivery didn't change a bit when they replaced his brains with robot bits.

I've been making my way through DS9 for the last while, not in conjunction with any podcast or anything. But god is Bariel ever plain. He reminds me of Norman from the one Mudd episode.

skasion posted:Shakaar was way more interesting than Bareil but still boring Makes sense in a way. When we first meet Ro Laren we have Picard talking about old the Bajoran civilisation is and their accomplishments, yet they are still at a sub-Federation level of tech. Turns out they're just utterly dysfunctional.

I don't think we ever got an interesting male Bajoran. Li Nalis was probably the closest, but even he was a bit flat. It's weird, because Kira's cool, Ro's cool, Winn is awful, but still dominates the screen when she's around, but every Bajoran dude was a total non-entity.

There was that grumpy old man on the moon that Kira really cared about for a while only to totally forget about the next episode. And he lost his home for a very good cause that would benefit all of Bajor and never be mentioned after that episode.

I liked the old Bajoran horn player or whatever who was playing the DS9 theme on the promenade, recontextualizing the show's theme song as diagetically an in-universe Bajoran ballad.

I remember thinking that actually really fit. On that instrument, it sounded like something a bajoran would compose.

It was a weird decision to step out of the way to establish the Enterprise in TNG as a ship full of families with children and then double back and establish all the characters as conveniently single so they could freely flirt with anybody passing along.

DS9 sure adjusted that. Sisko and Jake add a lot I think. Keiko and O'Brien are kind of meh. But even Nog adds quite a bit to Sisko's story at least.
