Early Criticism: What’s Unfounded and What Isn’t

Back on topic;

Legitimate criticism: The Jem'Hadar, despite appearing male, were actually sexless and incapable of natural reproduction. Also, they didn't bleed white.
While legitimate the setting of 800 years later offers a very strong counter to it.
Unfounded criticism: Calling Lura Thok a 'diversity hire,' and 'obese.'
1000% agreed.

We don't know enough about the Jem'Hadar to conclude this. The blood is fair but the Klingons don't bleed consistently either.

Agreed. They were designed as sexless, but being designed means they can be redesigned.

And I just find it amusing that a color change to the floating blobs of Klingon blood, done only to avoiding an "R" rating, still creates canon confusion among fans 30 years later. To be honest, once I found out the reason for it, I just head canoned it as being red blood all along, just as my head canon about Klingon head ridges at that time was "the Klingons looked that way all along".
 
You seem to be making our point for us? You aren't forming your own opinion, you are taking onboard Siskel and Ebert giving a movie two thumbs up or not. You can't say the movie is bad - you can say S&E said it was bad and thats why you're not watching it.
yeah I grant you that, because I trust the source. I don't have to watch if I trust the source, just like I see a lot of comments here "You haven;t even watched it..." no need if you trust the source saying it';s not any good. Now there may be times where there is inconsistency, but that depends on the mechanics of the critique.
 
what's her BMI? :lol:

Yashere defended herself against comments about her weight from other quarters quite well -

Actually, I disagree on that one. They were mentioned on DS9 as males and I don't recall there ever being a mention of them being incapable of reproduction. I always assumed that the character on this show was the result of a male Jemhadar and Klingon female. If there were Jem Hadar that broke from the white it would certainly change them just like any normal person changes after breaking a long drug addiction.

Far as her size goes, she's a cross breed of two warrior races that would tear any human apart. She's actually my favorite of the adult characters because her personality is more in line with what I expect from an officer at an elite military academy.

Ah, yes, an eye for an eye. Class act on both sides.

Elon, shut up.

Gina, don't wrestle with pigs. You'll just muddy yourself.
 
Who gives a fuck? Let‘s not go there yet again, talking about how “fat” or not the characters/performers supposedly are on the show.


Let that be Gina Yashere‘s and/or instagram‘s worry.
yes agreed, sometimes context is lost, or misinterpreted in forums
