Wow this new doctor in season 2 is a real bitch to Data, like All the Time. Everyone hates on Wesley but I think he's alright, the character I hate right now is Dr Pulaski. Lt Yar at least had an interesting idea for a backstory even if not much was done with it in the long run.

Yar was cool. Pulaski was a poorly written riff off of McCoy, but she was always doomed to be the villain since her adversary is basically Space Spongebob Squarepants instead of Snooty Space Squidward.

I've only ever seen one episode of Star Trek in my life. It was an episode of TNG where Wesley fell in love with this visiting dignitary lady, and the dignitary lady had a very overbearing guard watching her, and I think the guard ended up fighting with Worf? Then it turns out she can shapeshift into some kind of monster form. Wesley gets some relationship advice from Whoopi Goldberg. I don't remember how it ended, but it was, honestly, atrociously bad television. No clue what season it was.

Well, that's my Star Trek story.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

I liked Wesley when I was a kid, and after rewatching the series as an adult, I thought he was not too bad.

The main reason he gets a lot of hate is that during the first (or maybe second?) season, they wanted to do an episode focusing on him, and had three scripts in the works, with plans to develop one of them into a full episode. Then a writer's strike happened, and they just said "gently caress it" and ran all three unfinished scripts. The strike is also why they used the aforementioned Phase II scripts, afaik. After season 2, everything got better, including Wesley.

BTW so far for all the bigging up of the Romulans I can't muster any energy to give a gently caress about them. The other antagonists had interesting aspects, these guys are just "Space Assholes" in a very generic way. It's like "Oh boo hoo you spend 48 years jerking yourselves off and now you're getting pissy because we're doing stuff? Maybe try doing something yourself idiots. You want that bit of space? Go get it! Then you'll have that bit and we can steer clear of you because literally no other species wants to play with you." They're like the Ganglion in Xenoblade Chronicles X, making humanity stronger by pissing off every other race in the universe and making them side with us just to get away from them.

Both the Bachelor and the Bachelorette have exclusively strait contestants to avoid them smooching each other instead of competing. It's possible that some of the background characters are gay, I haven't seen the whole show.

This is a while back but this is not true.

In Australia recently they have had a couple of bi girls on the Bachelor, with constant rumours that they are going to date/kiss each other. (I remember one of the recent runners up ended up dating a woman post show.)

Also there was the Thai version where the two finalists ended up rejecting the bloke and saying that they were going to date each other.

Now how much of this is an accident, and how much of it is by design, ("hey let's get some hot girls on that might kiss. Hehe, that'll be salacious and titilating and will drive ratings/controversy") I will let you decide.

I'd love to see a Romulan defect properly to the federation side even in they didn't actually join, simply because dealing with Romulans even for one is really annoying and they were tired of it. In a conversation between two narcissists, neither of them will walk away happy. Just have them call out other Romulans just like "Have you ever spoken to another one of us? It's infuriating..."

Romulans share symptoms of Narcissistic (obsessed with their own worth, difficulty considering others, said to the prone to violent mood swings in their first appearence, either seeming really patient or getting terrifyingly hostile), Vulcans share symptoms of Borderline (because they have to be very careful about their emotions or they get kind of unstable).

They really wanted Romulans to be a threat, but then they realized that dressing them in hotel quilts and Xtreem!!! shoulder pads made them look super lame.

They had the chance to make up for it in Enterprise, but alas...they went with a "Temporal Cold War" instead. :ughh:

Whoopi Goldberg is in more episodes of TNG than I ever expected. Which is to say, 'more than one'.

I'm surprised less that she was there, and more that I didn't know she was until I watched some episodes. 'Whoopi Goldberg was in Star Trek' feels like something someone would've told me before then.
