Can I save all BUT one? Because then I’d choose Michael Burnham NOT to save. I actually liked her character in season 1, and even in most of season 2, but once they jumped to the future, she’s just become insufferable. I hate the term “Mary Sue,” as it is typically used incorrectly (and typically for misogynistic reasons), but Burnham has very much turned a Mary Sue.
Because this community is filled with dissapointments. Who think it’s funny to equate women and dogs. Then brush off complaints with shit like “but the girls can save themselves! god why is comedy illegal now!?”
Don’t worry about calling me out for being insulting by calling people dissapointments folks. I’m unsubbing. I cant with this place anymore.
I like both Ezri and Jadzia, but Rick Berman did Terry Ferrell dirty and that’s the only reason we had Ezri. So I like Ezri, but there never should have been an Ezri.
She wanted to be on Becker so it was her fault. Berman could have been nice and written her into fewer episodes. But it was her moving to a major network show that killed her off.
Becker was a high profile major network show which would have gone along with a major salary increase. If she really wanted to leave, she wouldn’t have ask to stay but written out of more episodes so as to not conflict with her Becker schedule.
“The problems with my leaving were with Rick Berman. In my opinion, he’s just very misogynistic. He’d comment on your bra size not being voluptuous. His secretary had a 36C or something like that, and he would say something about, ‘Well, you’re just, like, flat. Look at Christine over there. She has the perfect breasts right there,’” revealed Farrell.
“And then I had to go into his office. Michael Piller didn’t care about those things, so he wasn’t there when you were having all of these crazy fittings with Rick Berman criticizing your hair or how big your breasts were or weren’t. That stuff was so intense, especially the first couple of years,” she added.
Like I said, he was a misogynistic jerk. But if she was so keen on leaving she wouldn’t have asked for stories to be re-written so she could stay on ds9 while doing Becker.
I was always under the impression that he sucked and was lucky to have had M Piller and J Taylor to find the soul of TNG era trek (ENT is what happened when they both left).
He was also a jerk to (at least) Denise Crosby as well. Rick Berman posted on Twitter X a number of years ago with a pic of Tasha’s com badge stating Tasha’s com-badge. Denise gave it to me after her last day of shooting on SKIN OF EVIL. It’s been on my desk for nearly 31 years.
Seemed like a really nice little story/memory. Unfortunately, it wasn’t true at all. Denise responded Oh friend, my final scene on @StarTrek was not in SKIN OF EVIL but SYMBIOSIS which was filmed out of order. You came to the set to thank me and brought a cake, then ceremoniously ripped off my Communicator badge saying “you won’t be needing this anymore.” Don’t remember?
She later backed down from the comment (saying it was a joke b/w friends), but she had given an interview to TrekCore a good 10 years ago basically saying the same thing - that Berman ripped the com badge off her uniform, and that she was expecting him to rip off the rank pips next. Maybe it was a joke on his part? But even still, kinda of a dick thing to do.
I like Ezri. It was somewhat crazy to me that they never originally intended on killing her off to begin with.
Like, they created a race that can (sort of) Doctor Who style turn into a brand new person, and their plan was to never utilise that beyond one season 1 episode where someone steals the Dax symbiote?
That’s crazy to me. Don’t get me wrong, they did utilise the “I have multiple lifetimes of experience” aspect, but never intending to give her a new character was a little odd.
I really liked Ezri. It’s just really unfortunate what happened to Terry Farrell that made it happen.
As far as I remember, I don’t think we were ever told how long a symbiote can live for, as such it’d be kinda cool for a Dax to show up in the final season of DISCO. I highly doubt that will happen, but it’d be cool :)
He got six kinds of cheese. I’ve seen Enterprise. You can’t fool me.
Also, that was a different Porthos in Star Trek that doesn’t count and it couldn’t have been the same dog anyway unless they invented super long-life dog extension medicine or something.
So what happened to Porthos is he got six kinds of cheese. The end.
