It is not surprising since once they added her, she was the only character they actually wrote for.

That and the Doctor. I guess they figured those were the only two cast members who could actually act, so why not. Listening to Robert Beltram talk about his time on the show is hilarious. About how he was miserable and just kept asking for more money, hoping they would kick him off, but they just kept writing cheques.

Ok, someone post the picture of Robert Picardo getting annoyed with some autistic goon that pretty much told him all his cast-mates sucked. I can't find it.

I dunno who that weird Voyager dude with tufts of hair all over his head is but he's gross and makes me uncomfortable to look at. He looks like a character from that lovely comic strip The Piranha Club.

What's really funny is that the producers of Voyager were convinced he was going to be the breakout character of the show, instead of being the ultimate Jar Jar of the franchise (although Wesley is way more well-known).

I also like when you find out Barclay has like ~my waifu~ versions of all of the female cast members in the holodeck in that one episode lol

also he has programmed in a wimpy version of Riker so he can beat up on him in virtual reality and feel superior


he is derelict in his duties on the ship for a while because he's spending so much time in there


Barclay is unquestionably the ultimate goon on the show

Plus they have synthesizers so you could make and eat real food right in there, and when you poop in a holo toilet they could just beam it into space, why do anything but wallow in your own perverse fantasies like a fat hog

I think pedos are attracted to trek because we go back to victorian-esque sexual repression in the bold near future.

Like 4 characters total live normal family lives. Everyone else is stuck in a decades long dry spell where the most they have going on is seeing their ex on the bridge or mess hall and then updating their personal log status to 'it's complicated :ohdear:.' People been dry so long they're falling in love with the first hologram, ghost, mentally simulated worldscape NPC or other incorporeal/nonexistent entity that makes pleasant conversation.

You'd think people would loosen up more in the future given the present's increasingly liberal tendencies but nah. It's just years of pretending you're too enlightened to have a libido until it culminates with you falling in love with a force field and then having to hide this forbidden passion from the world.

you know whenever people on TNG talk about "going to the arboretum" with someone, they're basically going there to gently caress, right?


i'm also pretty sure that the series depicts wesley crusher as being more romantically successful than geordi la forge

I've said it before, I'll say it again. The 5 Betas on TNG form a loving Pentagram or 5-way Venn Diagram of Goony diagnosis

Geordi-- the "nice guy" goon
Wesley-- the dumb bitch boy goon
Barclay-- the reject goon
Data-- the literally autistic goon
Worf-- the Weeaboo-esque foreigner goon

It's an unspoken secret that once holodecks and replicators-- or their equivalent-- are perfected the vast majority of human activity will cease unless it is in service of keeping those machines running. Holodeck time will become the new currency. Procreation with someone who isn't a perfect holodeck fantasy of your own design will be seen as barbaric and most children will be born in test tubes. It will be hell and it will be heaven all at once.

Her voice got deeper and more monotone as the series progressed. Then she came back for that awful return of Kez episode and hosed up the tiny lingering appreciation people had towards her for her getting Voyager 10 ly closer to home or whatever

Picard - Wearing a fedora and won't shut the gently caress up about how no one appreciates good tea and flute playing.

Troi - has a popular Tumblr about her struggles as a psychic vampire and dealing with her headmates.

Data - Isn't an android, just has Aspergers. Character is otherwise unchanged.

Wesley - In jail after going on a phaser rampage through the ship because he's still a space virgin at 17. All the green alien babes are just whores who only gently caress officers.

Warf - Goes full Dorner in the final season after being booted out of Starfleet for excessive use of force when arresting protestors trying to stop the relocation of native peoples on a federation planet. Cornered in a shuttle and burned alive when "an errant phaser blast set to stun" started a fire in the shuttle.

Dr. Crusher - Leaves Starfleet after the first season because superiors do nothing to address her complaints of being constantly referred to as Dr. MILF.

Geordi - Visor is just a future Google Glass which he uses to post non-stop on r/MRA.

Riker - Constantly trying to interject his thoughts on pansexuality and polyamory into every conversation on the show.

the hologram isn't even all of it though. he spends that entire episode being a passive-aggressive creep to her.

she asks him about some modification and instead of saying "well we were in a pinch and i looked through your notes and got the idea from that" he loving tries to steal credit by saying "well sometimes we think of stuff out here in the real world too!!"
