/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Getting Nurse Ratched to play Kai Winn was genius casting.

Why is Charly Burke hated? Because she replaced Alara?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Charly is hated because she looks like a Fox Newz Gurl on the bridge and it’s just too convenient. Her acting is fine but there was no discernible angle there - why? I only found out she was Seth MacFarlane’s girlfriend after the season was over. Then I was like “Oohhhhhhhh. So that’s what that was about”

Yeah.

Burke was a horrible racist and bigot who went against the entire point of the academy. If I can see her as an awful bigot, in her futuristic society she must have been the equivalent of a klan member. She was a horrible person through her entire existence and we're supposed to like her cause she redeemed herself in the last 10 seconds? Nah she sucks. Also she wasn't really a proper character, just a racist Alara clone

Because she had untreated PTSD and hated the robots who killed her best friend/lover/whatever.

And then she was rude to a robot belonging to the same group as the ones who killed her best friend/lover/etc.

She's pretty well written imo, of a traumatized character.

The question is whether the dislike of the character was because it was poorly written or poorly acted.

In this case I feel like Charlie was a well-written character who had a good arc (despite a touch of Mary Sue-itis) but Anne Winters' delivery was absolutely flat.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

The Orville has literally some of the worst acting I've ever seen put onto film, and Seth's girlfriends were rarely bringing up the average. Seriously, it's like the half the cast was there specifically to make Travis Mayweather seem like an Emmy-winning tour-de-force.

The fact that it was so damn earnest and had a some good slush-pile scripts from Star Trek saved it overall, but nobody was watching The Orville for the acting, though Penney Jerald, Peter Macon, and Adrianne Palicki handled the material well.

One was clearly meant to be hated.

Who's the first?

No, not who's on first. I know Who is. I'm asking who the first image is of 😅

or… the entire discovery crew.

[–] Embarrassingskidmark@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Clearly whoever made this hasn't watched star trek discovery yet.

Charlie.

The other two were intentionally contentious and had good actresses. Charlie was nothing more than a poorly written strawman

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Eh, the doctor character was the worst one to me. The religious woman was a character you were intended to dislike, but the doctor character I believe was intended to just be a curmudgeon who is generally good, except she wound up being extremely off putting instead.

Only two episodes in, but a hot candidate:
