i feel like if avery brooks had got the opportunity to poo poo all over a movie the way patrick stewart did, he wouldve made it a moving character drama about a conflicted but good man doing the best he can to do right by his son and the federation, in that order this is to say that it'd be a good movie. a sisko series with brooks at the helm would be what we all wanted picard to be, but with jambalaya instead of wine even if you tell me i'm wrong i won't believe you. sisko rules avery brooks rules

Voyager, Season 1 Episode 10 "Prime Factors" Voyager travels to pleasure planet. Harry is taken by one of its residents over 40,000 lightyears via advanced tech to planet date rape. Voyager asks if they can use that tech to be transported 40,000 years closer to home. Pleasure planet people say it's absolutely against their prime directive and it goes against everything they believe in as a culture. Crew goes back to Voyager to be pissy about it. Tuvok chimes in, "What if 'no' means 'maybe'"? Against the Captain's wishes, BLT attempts to steal the tech in a sneaky way. From a people that are renowned across the entire quadrant for their hospitality and wonderfulness. Whole episode becomes a metaphor where pleasure planet represents those sluts that sleep around and Voyager represents the only right choice of long-term relationships. Episode is extremely hosed. So pretty typical as Voyager episodes go. Zesty fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Apr 27, 2021 |

i tried watching voyager and ain't never finishing that, some things are worse than pain So I re-watched DS9 for the 3rd time during the pandemic but now that I've discovered weed I'm re-watching TNG for the 1st time and that's been p. great but I have a question: what the gently caress was the point of the awful, snide, terrible doctor-lady in TNG S2? like WHY? I know she doesn't last long but it seems like they wrote her like they wanted you to hate her. her acting certainly helps with the hating! like right off the bat she calls data "Dahtah" and captain picard "Captain Pee-kard" And just every time she opens her loving maw some stupid poo poo comes out I hope this character dies terribly or exists to play an evil foil. but i really don't remember she is so forgettable.

Pulaski was cool and in the good alternate Trek universe she would've supplanted Picard through Klingon promotion and had space adventures with Captain Janeway.

I just finished a full rewatch of Voyager and terrible episodes aside, what's with that 2 minute finale wrap-up, what the gently caress? They finally get back home, a minute later Bellana pops out her prophet-child and within 30 seconds credits roll and that's all folks. gently caress closure, I guess? Time to start my yearly rewatch of SG-1, I guess Fishstick fucked around with this message at 11:11 on Apr 27, 2021 |

Pulaski is genderbent Bones, trying to fill that exact same character archetype: crotchy neophobic genius doctor who feelings and codes matter damnit. It doesn't work because the only crew member of the D allowed to have full time personality issues is Reg.

Zesty posted:Voyager, Season 1 Episode 10 "Prime Factors" That's a weird interpretation. Janeway continues to negotiate for the technology with their leader while Torres finds a guy willing to sell it to them, which would not be against the federations prime directive, only against theirs. The main guy turns nasty as soon as it's clear he isn't going to get into Janeway's pants.

Did they ever ask if they could just get a 40kly boost instead of getting the tech themselves?

This is actually what they were negotiating (Send voyager in return for all of voyager's literature) when Torres et al were doing backalley deals. The aliens never had the intention of doing so, and the stolen tech turns out to be useless because it only works with that planet's makeup because of TechnoBabble.

Then 45 minutes cheerily imparting a gumbo recipe like nothing happened. Neelix's body stays on the counter. There are no camera cuts and the view stays at that wide angle to the entire episode. Neelix never moves. Ethan Phillips's social media presence disappears without comment.

Oh they had multiple ways of actually going back faster. They invent a slipstream drive that worked but had some issues for one episode. It then gets dismantled to never try or look at it again except to pawn it off to other races as part of trade agreements. They manage to figure out Borg Transwarp by using a transwarp coil stolen from a borg ship, which gets used once for 20.000 LY before the coil gives out. Despite them fighting and even allying with borg multiple times getting another coil never seems to come up despite it being an apparently working method.

Yeah, I always heard that they wanted to get some of that back-and-forth needling of each other that Spock and McCoy always did -- emotion vs. logic -- so they invented Pulaski to be a foil for Data. And it just plain did not work. The biggest reason, of course, was that it's not really in Data's personality to fire back, so Pulaski just came off as a bully who was picking on him all the time.

I'm midway through season 2 of Voyager and I find it... not that terrible? It's not, like, that good either. Especially compared to TNG and DS9 which both own really hard. But I've definitely watched worse stuff. I'm also a huge weirdo and I always have a soft spot for characters that everybody hates. So I find Neelix annoying but I can't bring myself to hate him. See also Wesley Crusher.

I mean, I was kind of lumping that together into a broader theme but yea. You couldn't go a week without seeing something about someone in a news story talking about new things they learned about themselves under hypnosis. It's one of the things that kicked off the huge alien abduction craze back in the 90s too. Hell it's the basis for X-Files.
