I understand where you're coming from. Though Berman comes across as pretty slimy there, just the vibes. I don't know him, he could be a great person in real life. He just doesn't come across well there.
Plus, this should put to rest that Behr had big plans for the character. He knew, probably...
First off, yes. He clearly says what I said. He said that actresses who are beautiful and talented actresses both are a rarity. I mean, he literally says those words. He doesn't say they don't exist, but he says it is a rare combination.
Second, I'm not saying you're wrong about the challenges...
No.
What he observes - and it's well-taken, IMO - is that actresses who were both were in such demand that it was difficult to sign one to a syndicated series. IOW, rare in the off-network casting pool rather than an especially rare combination in a performer.
Star Trek or not, first-run...
Part 1 of the season finale was last night, so naturally the secrets are coming out and crises are building. As soon as the episode opened with the twins talking about their brotherly bond, I felt the writers were setting up the death of one of the twins, at least potentially. I've wondered if...
To me, the problem with remakes and reboots is that if something was successful and has a large fanbase, then of course hollywood wants to capitalize on it. However, it's very rare they can make something that holds up to the beloved original. Often, they do not know why something was successful...
Sadly, we do seem to be back in the era of "Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped".
Star Trek's ep "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" (to segue from your post) has been ranked as one of the best TOS episodes and even quite highly as a Trek episode overall, despite having all the subtlety of hitting...
I see a lot of comments on YouTube giving the episode a high rating because they like the message. Which is sort of fair enough, and sort of… not really useful at the same time. Paradise Towers had a good message. It doesn’t make it good. Love and Monsters had a message. Kerblam! Had a message…...
...adults... I would be delighted to read them. And, I might add additional thoughts on assorted romances at a later date.
Prospective Couple Ratings:
Because romances are often called "ships", I have given a nautical theme to my scoring.

Sunek was feeling good. And he was surprised to find that it was all thanks to Klath’s words of advice.
He had returned to the semi-final table and made a concerted effort to block Varik out of his mind entirely, instead focusing solely on his direct competitors. And as...
Saving "The Pegasus".
Excellent story and acting, and it subtly explains so much of the why of Riker. Outside the finale, I'd rate this as the best episode of season 7.

They tried to make you buy it by suggesting it’s cos he insulted her dad — except that only means something to the fairly hardcore fans, and there’s no logical reason for why Conrad would even *know* who her dad was in the first place. (Never mind the idea that he somehow built UNIT, which is...
Bidmead was going all in on quasi hard-sf or sf-concepts. It’s more apparent when you’re reading the novels perhaps, but it was about the last time Who was *that* into the science aspect. Chris is also a nice bloke, and went on to work in computer journalism.
I've always enjoyed Four to Doomsday. I don't think it rates highly with fans but I like it. They have to explore and figure out what's going on more than usual.
I didn't like Castrovalva when I first saw but do appreciate it more now.
I gave it a 7. It was there. It passed an hour. I was going to say that I didn't actively dislike it (usually my minimum qualification for being a 7), but I did dislike parts of it. Almost gave it a 6 except for its message and the Doctor's speech at the end boosted it.
Really?! A Doctor-lite...
