Gates danced the entire time (I believe she choreographed it as well) - but Spiner gets doubled at some point and it's pretty obvious as I recall.

Just watched the sequence again and yeah the Data double is in the overhead shot as well as one kinda 3/4 shot that was waaaay too close to hide the doubling

There's one part of the sequence where it's just a closeup of Data's feet and that's where I figured out they were probably using a double

Episode over. I like how it ended with the night watch and the light dimming so it really was a "day." Other things I didn't have time to mention: - I was kind of expecting when Data was learning to waltz by watching Crusher's feet, on his first try he would start walking backwards away from her because that's what she was doing. - >yfw Data will never call you a lunkhead

jeeves posted:I think the guys at Greatest Gen do a really good job of pointing out just how loving loveless and terrible O'Brien's relationship to Keko is. Like right from when she is introduced in Data's Day, no one really can understand how the gently caress they are even getting married? I always figured this was because 90s TV writers automatically default married couples to a version of The Honeymooners.

DS9 strongly implies that Keiko and O'Brien have a lot of sex. While they can't actually show it, many if not most domestic scenes between them head in that direction only for O'Brien to be comically interrupted. As a kid I didn't notice it much but as an adult I guess the show implies that they have a more intimate side that we don't get to see. It's a fun comedy bit too. In Tribunal they all but turn to the camera and say "we are going to gently caress in this chair RIGHT NOW" but as a kid I never noticed lol. Then Cardassians show up and cockblock O'Brien because of course they do. In Whispers O'Brien gets suspicious when Keiko won't have sex with him even though Molly is gone. This is before the meatloaf I think. So nerds either don't pick up on that scene or ignore it for "Keiko is a bitch" narrative. Funny enough Colm Meaney played a sex guru in a period comedy in the 90s too. Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Aug 22, 2017 |

I have to imagine that off-camera, the O'Briens are a normal, healthy couple and the reason we only ever see them when they're having arguments is because in the minds of the TNG/DS9 writers, couples arguing creates drama and good TV while normal, healthy couples are boring. Kinda the same deal with Worf and Jadzia.

Keiko is just a terrible domineering person. She gets mad when O'Brien won't bone down after she turns into a child. O'Brien eats up all the weird seaweed and tofu or whatever the hell that meal she made was, but he mentions something from his culture and she's all "Oh gross, that's disgusting, I will never eat that."

I meant to say that on camera they're more affectionate than a kid watching this in the 90s might have realized.

You get the sense watching them that Keiko uses grumpiness to express that she wants attention which is like the least implausible thing in Star Trek. Also Keiko was written off of DS9 and onto Bajor because Rosalind Chao wasn't always available. Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Aug 22, 2017 |

Don't forget Keiko gives up her career that was established on TNG in order to follow O'Brien after his promotion. She's not super happy living on the station and her husband is chronically overworked so she's raising a toddler practically alone while doing a full time job on some loving alien space station where things are always exploding and her husband is abducted at least once every year. And they still have sex twice a week. Give the woman a break!

I think MisterBibs mentioned this a few pages back, but if any of you bums are fans of the Greatest Generation and get a chance to catch one of their east coast tour shows I highly recommend it. I just got back from the Boston show a little while ago and it was a blast. Honestly kind of worth it for the totally pointless but shockingly nice challenge coin alone. Was also a little bit mindblowing how many people actually showed up for a live Star Trek podcast.

I still want to know how they convinced themselves there was an audience that was going to watch a show about the crew of the starship Enterprise dealing with Klingons and Vulcans and Andorians and Romulans, but would be turned off by the Star Trek name...
