Not an obsession, I tuned out of watching Voyager when it was first on TV and I’m partway through a complete watch now … she’s simply my favorite character from the show, and given that Star Trek fans have a pleasant and active community here I thought it was a good choice. Perhaps I was mistaken.
Being interpreted as smug was not my intention, I thought I was simply stating my opinion with equal force to the poster above. How should I have responded?
Would you like 1 maglev train for 10km, or 10 extra trains to make better use of existing infrastructure?
Picard was written by different people who needed different things from the characters, however there were occasional moments where her previous manerisms showed through.
A feral child who was not ASD could have been portrayed like Mowgli (or, for a more Star Trek reference point, Tuvok when he had brain damage). Seven gradually learns how to navigate human interaction (and how to smile, for instance) through studying and is surprised when it’s occasionally useful, a non-ASD character could have learned through interpretation of people’s reactions and would have sought socialisation rather than peace and quiet in a neatly ordered cargo bay (I’m led to believe that’s how it works anyway).
You’re completely right, there is obviously no deeper meaning to presenting a character who is a mature adult yet requires structured classes in order to learn how human beings socialise.
Me at 20: Mariner.
At 30: Tendi.
At 40: T’Lyn.
Now: politely staying home and posting on Lemmy.
Suddenly the Broccoloid episode of The Powerpuff Girls reads as anti-LGBT propaganda
OK, I’ll go all-in on this:
2000 AD Comics’ Nexus, The computer game.
Made for the Commodore C128 computer (which oddly ran Microsoft Basic), it was a simple single-screen platform shooter with the twist that you could pile up the bodies of your enemies and use them as platforms.
What is this a computer for ants? It should be at least … four times bigger.
I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.
Depends on how well the first season goes, the producers are a little cautious in case the bears aren’t really as viscous as they said on their CVs.
It’s a reality TV series where D-list personalities are dropped in the middle of the forrest and have to hike out without being eaten by bears.
Fair enough, it just outdoes any dissonance between T1 and T2 by a factor of 10, hence being curious about your thoughts ;-)
I loved the original, when I had only seen the TV cut which doesn’t include the protagonist committing rape. I’ve seen the full version all of once and that just broke it for me.
I have the sequel on my to-watch list, but will be starting it off in a guarded manner.
How do you feel about Tenet?
Yes, that’s more “me” … I only do a little light assimilating on the weekends.
It is pleasing to see my culture represented in popular media. You may continue.
I really enjoyed the first two seasons, the third was ok with some good bits in it.
Under Decks, like Lower Decks but lower, lower, lower, TOO LOW, lower.
The more I think about it, yes it would be a lot of fun!
You may be right, the more of Voyager I watch the more flexible each character appears in order to fit around what the story requires. Apart from Tom Paris repeatedly being an idiot, that’s a constant.
We can agree to disagree and enjoy it on our own terms I guess. If I have been dismissive of your argument I would like to apologise, that was not my intention.
