Powered Descent posted:Season 3: The Day The Earth Stood Still I would give my left nut for a Time Trax season/episode. loving loved that show as a kid. And I got the complete series on DVD and a lot of it still holds up. It's 95% '90s camp, but still. Are Dale Midkiff and Elizabeth Alexander still acting? That would be an amazing cameo. Still waiting for Micheal Dorn and Christopher Judge to cameo as Bortus's fathers. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. "These are the journals of Darien Lambert, Captain, Fugitive Retrieval Section: AD 2193."

It's been ages since the announcement that there's a third series of the show and I can't believe we still don't have an actual airdate, or even an approximation of one.

My phone told me that production of this show is being shut down due to the virus. So it will probably be even longer until it comes out.

She was already on the show but it'd be nice to see her again in that role (schoolteacher on the ship)

thank god they mentioned the interracial kiss and thank god they didnt mention what a toilet the overall episode was TOS was always so weird because all of the episodes that tackled contemporary issues were just loving bizarre, like the race issue randomly stating the two half-colors had been chasing each other for fifty thousand years or how one of them just controls the ship with his mind dont get me started on turnabout intruder

Like, okay, he's from a more advanced place, he's doing it somehow, just leave it at that.

I'm on S2E12 and earnestly hoping that Bortus will finally break up with Klyden. Oh also this episode had Ted Dansen, Tony Todd, F. Murray Abraham and Marina Sirtis. Kinda blown away!

Klyden is depressed and also his culture has repressed a lot of his feelings and given him a toxic outlet. He's not in the union and exposed to other cultures as much. All he has is his entire life experience telling him what to blame for his feelings.

There are no other Moclans on the ship other than he, Bortus and Topa. and Moclan culture and values are different enough from the values of the rest of the Union that he's not comfortable spending time with non-Moclans. So, when Bortus isn't around, he spends most of his time in their quarters taking care of Topa.

These are all good and valid points, but there's no way in hell Klyden changes his mind and starts presenting female. He's far beyond that point. If anything, it'll be Topa who decides to present female, and that's gonna be Klyden's path to personal growth. I'd also love to see the Moclan who fell in love with Talla show up again, he got such a raw deal

I feel like he represents the immigrant housewife who is home all the time, only interacts with their husband and often doesn't speak the language of the people around them. It's an archetype you don't really see on TV a lot.

Taear posted:I feel like he represents the immigrant housewife who is home all the time, only interacts with their husband and often doesn't speak the language of the people around them. Agreed, but Bortus addresses this head-on in one of the episodes - it's understandable that Klyden has a lot of culture shock, but he's been presented with endless opportunities to learn and integrate with the crew and has denied or rebuffed them all.

I find Bortus to be interesting because he clearly is very liberal/non-traditional for his culture.

He kinda fits into the Worf role on the surface in terms of "alien with vastly different culture serves aboard a ship full of humans and aliens with human-like culture, how does he adapt?" but his reactions and decisions really drive home his effort to adapt to the people around him and fit in, without losing his sense of being a Moclan. It's a pretty stark contrast to Klyden, which I think helps build both their characters well.

Yeah I should clarify, the similarities between Worf and Bortus end there. Bortus and the Moclans are their own creation and are much stronger for it, rather than being funny rehashes of Klingons or Vulcans. Worf would never grow a mustache to look good, and Bortus would never protest that he is not a merry man.

Bortus and Worf are opposites. Bortus has spent his whole live among Moclans and he's trying to reconcile being Moclan while also kind of wanting things to change. Worf is a Klingon weeaboo who only knows Klingon culture from learning about it. He thinks he knows what being a Klingon is all about but real Klingons always tell him to gently caress off and chill out.

Snow Cone Capone posted:Worf would never grow a mustache to look good Maybe not because a male human encouraged it, but worf has plenty of hair-based grooming for appearance in his character I agree that he wouldn't grow something that other cultures find appealing that he didn't naturally have, like a widow's peak or something. Neither would a Vulcan, though.
