There was so much push/pull between 'uh are we doing the old show again' and 'we need to tell a different kind story' it wound up a mess. Didn't they at one point do some ads that implied Worf may be, like, a bad guy?

Trixie Hardcore posted:What I like about that episode is everyone is convinced they’re in mortal danger and at the end the alien guy is just like “we said this whole time it was just a game, you guys are being weirdos”. Also feels like a rejected TNG script which is why I don’t think it works here, you can totally see the TNG crew bumbling through that episode. I think the episode is okay, it feels very out of place. The later seasons of DS9 are great because the characters are very fleshed out and they have a TNG approach to solving problems. That being said in the later seasons a lot of the characters lose their personalities simpsons style. Dax becomes a snarky party girl, worf is the angry klingon dude, and kira is the angry ex freedom fighter.

Hell, people already barely care about it now. Edit: I suppose the Dixie Chicks were “actually cancelled” but even then it basically seems liked it worked out for them. They just do more shows in Canada and win Grammy awards instead of CMA awards. Pulcinella has issued a correction as of 02:07 on Apr 2, 2022 |

Some Guy TT posted:pachinko is loving awful its like all the bad parts of the book but even worse somehow it engages in naked historical revisionism about the korean experience under japanese rule before and after the empire but because that revisionism is critical of japan and all the important crewpeople are korean americans no one is ever going to call the show out for this and in between the woke branding and the excessively bleak scenery porn theres a good chance itll clean up next awards season despite the fact that i doubt any of you have even the slightest idea what pachinko is Yo there is a real through line from the collaborators under the Japanese to the military dictatorship to the current democracy and it's sick

Klingons are now on the bridge. Michael Dorn was one of the few that would put up with the makeup. And then his character ended up being one of the most developed characters in all of Star Trek, because life is funny and Michael Dorn is a loving professional
