Winn always made my skin crawl!
Who’s the first?
No, not who’s on first. I know Who is. I’m asking who the first image is of 😅
Ensign Charly Burke from the show The Orville.
Dukat has entered the chat
He’s hated. But in a way that makes you want to see more of him.
That’s true. We LOVE to hate him.
I truly love that the writers set Dukat up for a redemption arc, but that he chose to become worse instead.
Charlie.
The other two were intentionally contentious and had good actresses. Charlie was nothing more than a poorly written strawman
Yeah, but you’re supposed to dislike Winn, she’s the villain. Her acting was perfect for the role.
Good villains make you want to crawl in through the screen and punch them, and boy is Kai Winn a punchable character.
Ironically, I have never wanted to punch Q, but Sisko punched him and never Winn.
Personally I absolutely love Winn … because I hate her character so much.
As soon as I see her in an episode I know I’m gonna enjoy it because she’ll leave a lasting memory for me as to why I dislike her so much. Louise Fletcher is such a beautiful actress because she makes you forget you’re watching a TV show and makes you absolutely want to step into an air lock and blast yourself out into the vacuum of space just to leave her presence.
She reminds me of Joffrey from GoT in that sense.
I will never stop loving to hate Louise Fletcher characters. She was amazing.
People hated Wesley more than they hated Pulaski.
I always liked Wesley
Hmm, it’s been a while since something reminded me of alt.wesley.crusher.die.die.die
Hot take: Pulaski > Crusher
Sshhhh! Here, take this and hide, quickly!
I love the way the two principle evils of DS9 are both motivated by a deep conviction that they have been treated unfairly.
Don’t get me started with this guy and his fake British accent
I think you mean his fake whistle-playing hands.
or… the entire discovery crew.
I recognize the bottom two, but not the top one. Those uniforms look like The Orville but I don’t recognize that character at all. But I also never watched S3 and it’s been since they aired (5 years?) that I watched the first two seasons of that show.
It’s S3, she’s the new char.
She’s not nearly that bad, people are just sensitive.
Wait… holier-than-thou Kai Winn drinks beer!? TIL… and might need to rethink some life choices as a result. :-P
HOLD MY
BEERKANARMaybe I’m alone on this, but I found a lot of the story lines with Neelix from Voyager to be hard to watch.
If they’d only stopped making him so damned childish.
Ever seen Avenue5? Spike was what Neelix shoulda been and it’s hilarious.
Spike is awesome. I need them to make a lot more Avenue 5. I’m holding out hope that it’ll get the Red Dwarf treatment.
I have never seen Avenue 5, but as an old Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan I suddenly saw a foul-mouthed English bad boy Neelix in my head and it was hilarious 😂
Weirdly? A5 spike is a lot filthier and hornier.
“Hey, a hole’s a hole”
Actually, I wish they’d made his girlfriend a little less, ah, childish.
Hot take: i never understood the whole controversy around him dating an alien with a very short lifespan.
She isnt a child in their society, just a (young) woman. Had she remained with the okampa she would likely have had romantic partners around that same time in her life, possibly children as well. For that matter, as far as I know neelix isn’t interested in her for her age in any way either, so I have a hard time seeing how it is considered creepy or inappropriate. Also, the actress was a normal adult woman, so that wasn’t weird either (I cringe more at the scenes of O’Brien and teen aged Keiko in that one TNG episode, at least they didnt kiss I guess).
I found him more annoying for his petty jealousy and overused mister vulcan interactions (although I generally enjoyed their dynamic).
agreed. OH NOE SHE’S TWOOOO she’s not a fuckign human so that makes her a grown woman who’s expected to have kids at this point. Gentle and thinking the best of people =/= naive and childish.
I found most of Voyager to be too cringy to watch.
It was just such a weird vibe, like they targeted it for kids who liked trek, and ultra-horny neckbeards at the exact same time.
The hormones didn’t come in until seven of nine in the way late seasons. And she’s no different than Troi, except more useful on the ship.
Are you forgetting the leotard stretching scene…? Or almost anything Troi wore in the early seasons?
No, that was bad too.
I mean, s1 and s2 was very cringy too, but they had episodes that were very well written by people other than Roddenberry, and we all tend to blank out trauma in our past.
Voyager? This wasn’t the first trek show in decades, we weren’t dying for want of decent scifi, we had tng, ds9, b5, farscape was coming online, stargate too, and before Voy finished we had The Phantom Menace and the Matrix.
The mid-late 90s were a golden age for media, our standards had increased dramatically particularly for writing.
For TNG I’d say 50% of episodes are either forgettable or near-unwatchable, with a bias towards the early seasons, S3 and S4 are just gold though.
Voyager, I have a few episodes I like (, but many more I can’t watch, the writing is just so uneven.
Btw, I have a warm spot in my heart for Enterprise, I think it got a majorly unfair rap, but the first 2 seasons are similar in their unevenness, though Season 4 is again, just gold.
we had The Phantom Menace
Hey, I thought we were talking about decent examples of sci fi
