being a lost colony or a race that has been manipulated by a vorlon-like species is probably closer to the truth than we want to admit

RDM could finally write the show he wanted to

Lack of Katsulas would doom any reboot attempt

And if you thought the final season we got lacked direction

hoo boy

I like how Scroggins was a fan of the show prior to getting hired and when her character showed up her reaction was "who the gently caress is this bi-OH RIGHT"

he just seems to love writing women getting brutalized or killed without even the opportunity to fight back, and when asked why they couldn't at least have been allowed to fight back follows up with some "well we didn't want to have them going out in a blaze of glory, it's kinda been done to death already, y'know?" bullshit

star trek:

worf's girlfriend k'ehlar: beaten to death by Duras
tasha yar, after going back with the enterprise-c: raped, forced to bear children by her captor, and murdered
kira's resistance buddy: instantly murdered
jadzia dax: gets casually offed like season 1 tasha yar and moore whined about how her death was "too heroic" because she actually started to pull a phaser before Dukat kills her with force lightning flames:
"But the idea in the original was she somehow stumbled across it, or was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Dukat got her, and he just f***ing executes her. And it was brutal, and it was supposed to be shocking, and it was supposed to really hit you. And Rick adamantly refused. He just adamantly would not let us do it. "She's got to fire a shot, and has to die shooting at him! She has to die in a heroic way! Da da da… And I was just like, "Come on.""

(note: dax did not actually shoot)


battlestar galactica:

eight: shot by cally, jack ruby style. also an attempted rape in there.
six: tortured and repeatedly raped
cally: beaten, i think there was a rape or attempted rape in there?, murdered
tory: literally strangled to death

but golden child starbuck is allowed to fight at all times, and dudes also often get to at least go down fighting

I can see your point now

Kind of an odd perspective for rdm to have on fight scenes

Every fight scene scenario one can think of has been done a zillion times
