Earth 2 wasn't really a space or trek show tho.

It was certainly no "space above and beyond"

I certainly wouldn't call that show *good* but it was fun to watch.

Also I just remembered that Seaquest went into space at one point so it counts as a space show.

I'm not interested in that, just the Earth 2 memes. So far I'm coming up short :(

Like 10 people saw that show no one's going to get any of the memes.

You could always make the memes you want to see in the world.

Chakotay practices generic Native American spirituality, if that counts.

I'm rewatching voyager at the moment. And every Chakotay episode I always feel so sorry for the actor. He must have been thinking just being on a mainstream TV show is progress but jesus wtf nonsense these white people are writing.

Star trek has always been a progressive show and I suppose for the time this was? Kinda? But its painful to watch at times today.

What was the series where the doctor (or someone) was a traitor who had a micro-radio-transmitter in her armpit, and sand people could teleport through sand?

It was poo poo.

I used to camp out in the kitchen and stare at the microwave clock until my parents said it was time for Earth2 to come on, so yeah I guess you could say I'm a fan.

Tried searching for memes and just came up with a bunch of Flash/NASA stuff though. :smith:

Robert Beltran hated being on the show apparently. Towards the end he just kept making wilder and wilder demands expecting them to write his character out of the show but they just went "Okay sounds good no you're 7 of 9s boyfriend"

That's almost all shows though.

It's basic economics. You keep making seasons until one sucks enough to make people stop watching. If you start making a show with a coherent and satisfying beginning, middle and ending in mind and stick to it, that's just leaving money on the table!

Which leaves people unsatisfied, and primed to embrace the next new show! Real Circle of Life stuff.
