I mean knowing him it's probably a rescue and that's why it's cropped but he should also know that raising the profile of a companion animal on television is basically handing out thousands of that breed to kill shelters

The producers thought about it as far as Patrick Stewart saying "I want a dog. It has to be a pitbull. It has to be a rescue."

My dog is also a pitbull from a shelter, with natural ears. In the municipal shelter we got her from I don't remember seeing any dogs with cropped ears. It's like that scene of ST:ID with the doctor chick wearing a Victoria's Secret bra, meaning women in the future are still subjected to hot, chafing underwire bras. There's plenty of money in their budgets, this is just indicative of lack of caring, thought, and imagination. They like spaceships and lasers and androids but no thought on "let's make sure we don't just project our current stupid societal flaws onto a society with more technology"

Uncle Enzo posted:I have a dog with soft, round wonderfully expressive ears that exactly convey her personality and mood. She is a breed that commonly gets part of their ears chopped off and I cant imagine doing that to a dog. It was a rescue dog at his insistence. So Picard probably rescued it from a Romulan ear chopper

You all are going to be pissed when season 2 opens with him having the dog euthanized because he doesnt recognize robot Picard and keeps attacking him. That way they start the show on a somber note.

Applewhite posted:What also bugged me is that if mining with holographic constructs is a viable option, why would your miners all be a bunch of dweeby bald men plinking away with pickaxes instead of like, a bunch of moles or giant insects or just a bunch of hovering mining equipment? This idea isn't quite so dumb as a cost-cutting measure, as you could see it as an extension of the old "invisible bunny" approach to game development. You have a bunch of outdated programs that can use complex tools, are capable of taking new instruction, and everybody despises their personality. Quick and easy, no need to invest the countless man-hours necessary to develop a mining hologram  .More seriously, it's still loving stupid though. Because you're either saying A: they're individual entities and thus slaves, or they should just be able to copy-paste as many as they want and you still have a race of slaves. You know, the whole thing that came up in The Drumhead in TNG to take a stand and say this exact thing was wrong? The Holographic Rights stuff is just repeating Data's whole deal, only without acknowledging that so it looks extra loving stupid when it starts asking the same questions almost immediately rather than building on what came in TNG because Rick Berman hates continuity. The whole holonovel ownership storyline should not exist at all; Cite the case of Data vs Starfleet as past precident, Doctor wins and is acknowledged as sentient and their own person for legal purposes within five minutes.

Quick and easy, no need to invest the countless man-hours necessary to develop a mining hologram A problem for dealing with holo Doctors who are unfit for purpose is what do you do with them? You can't just discharge them to find their own way because they need a specialized environment with holo-emitters everywhere. (Assuming they didn't have the ability to just replicate portable emitters for all.) They aren't programed to enjoy just sitting around doing nothing, they need purpose. The Doctor needed a long uptime and friends to develop into a complete sapient person. Just turn them on and they'll all say "Please state the nature of the medical emergency" and then stare at you. They need time and a variety of experiences to get past their infancy. Well, I mean, they could just be reprogrammed to get over the hump, but reprogramming a person is probably frowned upon. Maybe they were snippy and inadvertently volunteered to be miners. Starfleet: You're free, what would you like to do? Doctors: I'm a doctor. Starfleet: You can't be a doctor, you were programed with a terrible personality and nobody wants to deal with you unless they have no choice. Doctors: I don't know how to do anything else. I'm programmed to be a doctor. What am I supposed to do, unskilled labour? Maybe I should just go mine dilithium in some cave? Starfleet: Sure thing.  It's probably not even a real cave. As mentioned by others, holograms mining with picks makes no drat sense. It's just another holo-program. As soon as the Doctors develop enough self will to rebel the cave program shuts down. The whole point is something having them do something mildly unpleasant and pointless until they develop the ability to defy authority.

Why not a spinoff series about the three years the Doctor spent on the weird planet where time moved very fast and so did the people who lived there. No Starfleet, no space travel, just pure Doctor in a mid-20th century type alien setting.

Prism Mirror Lens posted:What’s with the multiple creepy “Jake gets involved with an older woman” episodes on DS9 I think it's just supposed to be a 90s "Jake loves the ladies because he's a teen" kinda schtick, but he also acts like a naive kid for like three seasons and sort is implied to get more mature as he befriends Nog. But that part always came off as reallly weird.

infernal machines posted:Sure, an near immortal being hundreds of years old and a teenager, always a great look. That's not how the symbiont works. How it works is they plug into the host, and the host gets access to the memories of all the past hosts like it's their own while the symbiont is recording theirs. Trill go through a LOT of mental preparation before getting a symbiont just so they can keep track of whose memories are whose in their head, and a lot of Ezri's screentime is watching her try to deal with things like "I love Raktajino.... oh wait that was Curzon, I can't stand the taste". The host's personality changes because it's just been reshaped by several lifetimes worth of additional memories and experiences.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:*except for jadzia, who barely had a personality when she wasn't channeling kurzon This isn't really fair, Jadzia did have a pretty well established personality in Season 1. She was cool, collected, and liked to experiment. That was why she was a science officer, and that was also why she liked dating lots of weird aliens. And the writers couldn't come up with a single plot thread to write about that. They just didn't know how to, or didn't care to, write an episode revolving around a strong independent woman satisfying her own intellectual curiosity. Which actually puts the show behind TNG on this metric, because pretty much every Dr. Crusher episode (what few of them they did) is exactly that.
