When they turn their baleful gaze on DS9, they're going to announce that not only is Morn going to play a much greater role, but they are getting Mark Shephard back to do the mocap for the fully CGI Morn. He'll be voiced by Benedict Cumerbach.

someone in tv/iv pointed out it's actually an ice burn on wesley, i.e.

JACK: hey big bro, guess what? i finally met my dad! isn't that neat
WES: well i can travel across space and time but :sigh: but yeah i guess that would be pretty cool, uh, jack...

To be fair, Geordi didn't actually have sex with the hologram. He just wanted to. Maybe he should have led with that.

People make jokes about Riker constantly loving holograms like it's nbd but don't forget that one time he spent like 45 minutes having small talk and slow dancing with a hologram and he was so obsessed with her that 3 seasons later an alien scanned his mind and mistook her for a real person because Riker was in love with her like she was a real person.

Wesley will be the deus ex machina of whatever the main problem of season 3 turns out to be, oh and Not Soji from 2024 will be there.

And keep at least one eye open ‘cause his best friends, the Simpsons, just might pop in to wish him luck.

brooks has made it very clear that he'd only come back if they also brought back lofton. for some reason the execs are unwilling to do so. still, that's not an impossible request that could never be accommodated, so it might happen eventually once they finally mine out all the nostalgia value from the tng cast.

Now you're making me picture Wesley Crusher as Star Trek's version of like the G-Man from Half-Life and he's gonna stop everything in the middle of a warp core breach and pluck Picard out of time or something.

I thought Cirroc Lofton was on good terms with the current crop of producers running Trek? If that was Brooks's only sticking point, shouldn't that have been an easy "Okay, sure..." by now?

It's weird, Lofton didn't have any issues that I know of or has done anything objectionable, and Jake Sisko is probably one of the easiest characters to write into a cameo, given his reporter work. Even without Brooks wanting it I'm kinda surprised he didn't show up somewhere. Although I guess the reporter characters in both Picard and Lower Decks were bad guys.

It's more about who you're holofucking. Real people are not okay, random generated are fine.

I wonder if there are influencers in the Federation who give universal permission to be holofucked.

Everyone's relationships with their holographic sex partners is a little different.

Riker not in love or anything. There's no emotional attachment there, it's only physical when it comes to holosex.

Data engages with holographic sex partners in order to interview them after the experience in order to get a deeper understanding of how they're able to simulate the emotional experience. Ultimately this results in him giving demonstrative evidence to them that they are in fact part of a programmed simulation and do not actually exist, resulting in the holograms suffering from a temporary sense of self-awareness and horror until the program is reset or ended. The event is called a "La Petite Vie"

there are a lot of possible reasons why geordi never went down that rabbit hole despite being so very lonely.

Troi is outraged at seeing her face on a photonic sex doll, but Riker thought it was funny and as far as I remember Barclay isn’t punished for it

according to cirroc lofton, avery brooks is the one that is essentially banned from new projects. admittedly that's not something i actively look for info on, but he's said it several times and i haven't ever seen an elaboration on why (though it's implied that it's "just" racism)

I always got the impression that Brooks was the kind of person who wouldn’t put up with bullshit or suffer fools, and that probably ruffled a few executive producer feathers.

that tracks with what i've read about him. he doesn't do many interviews at all though, which is kind of weird, but i can respect that

however i feel like there's probably more to the story. nobody seems to want to bring it up and if it were simply racism i don't think many people involved with the production would have a problem calling that out. it's kind of DS9's thing in no small part due to avery brooks' influence

but nobody seems to want to comment. even cirroc lofton doesn't want to talk about it, and he's the source of the claim. it's weird
