Eighties ZomCom posted:Except Troi says that she believes she is telling the truth. People honestly believe they remember all sorts of things that aren't true. Look up "recovered memories" and the Satanic Panic of the 1980s for an extreme example. But we do it to ourselves in small ways all the time. It's an interesting premise for an episode. (But I do admit that it's more than a little uncomfortable that the episode takes the false memory thing into rape territory and then only uses that as set-dressing for the sci-fi mystery, rather than fully committing to that thread and dealing with it.)

Lol at the trope in 80s and 90s media when they used ridiculously tv high channel numbers to denote “its the future!”. More channels equals more future, you see.

skasion posted:Man, Past Tense seems so optimistic nowadays. the sky isn’t even bloodred like some Boschian vision of Hell I say it every time that episode comes up, but the fact that the worst people in Past Tense are just well-meaning liberals who don't get it is so hilariously optimistic and out of touch that it hurts. No one is like "eh gently caress it they're poor just let them die" so the whole thing comes across as wildly unrealistic. Even the lovely security guard gets it by the end. Also a handful of people dying is somehow enough to change things.

Nothing in Star Trek (or most TV, honestly) makes sense if real people are involved. It's best to just take it for the allegory that it is.

I know it's been talked to death, but the DS9 episode "For the Uniform" comes out of nowhere. It makes no sense to suddenly have Sisko go all captain Ahab; apparently he's been obsessing over the traitor for 8 months while slowly unraveling, but they've never shown us that. Sure, anger and passion are a part of Siskos character in a way that they never were for Picard, but that is still mostly as something bubbling under the surface; the explosiveness shown here doesn't feel earned. A Star Trek episode about personal vendettas and war crimes should be on the table, but this episode doesn't even attempt to problematize and dissect those things, which is very un-Star Trek. I do like that we get to see more actual bridge operations, and the tension and melodrama does sort of work, but it is a very unfulfilling episode. thotsky fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Sep 11, 2020 |

V-Men posted:Didn't Admiral Seti's Betazoid aide use his telepathy for investigative leads? Yes, but I don't think they used that as evidence during a trial so much as "we should look for evidence corroborating this and/or hammer him during testimony". As to the episode, the wife hadn't filed charges for the assault and neither her or Riker believed they were being dishonest during testimony so they probably dropped it (whether because the wife realized her recollection was colored by her husband's death or her not wanting to publicize his attempt at murder is left to the viewer). It plays pretty icky now (and was still icky in the 90s) but I think the intention was the same as if they'd had two dudes give variations of "he started the fight, but I ended it".

Try watching The First Duty, For the Uniform and In the Pale Moonlight back to back. I still think DS9 dropped the ball in the last couple of seasons with the Pah Wraith/Sisko's mom was a prophet storylines. Sisko should have resigned from Starfleet and/or been court-martialed at the end.

Talking betazoids - remember when Voyager had the psychopath betazoid who was one of the most interesting characters in the entire series, and then they killed him off because they didn't want to have anything complicated going on? Everything must be clearly good and evil. Evil can only be redeemed by dying and then we don't have to deal with anything post-redemption.
