Personally I see nothing wrong with plastic surgery if it makes you feel better about yourself. I am getting some myself and looking forward to it.

Not to your face, I hope. Really, plastic surgery is a very chancy business and not every doctor licensed in it is an artist. Even breast enhancement can end up being very painful afterwards, if not done correctly. I only say this out of concern. Besides which, it's damned expensive any way you want to look at it. Plastic surgery doesn't usually change how people are towards you, anyway. Fortunately, I got the genes from somewhere, so I don't have to ever consider plastic surgery.

Don't worry it's not my face

That's it, exactly, as far as the EMH was concerned - at least, for me. He was ALWAYS given too much focus, right out of the box. "Oh! A Hologram who wants to be Human!" It doesn't work for me. With Data, that was the reason he was created, in the first place. But The Doctor is a hologram, for crying out loud - on what basis does he need a girlfriend, for example.
Picardo can be very entertaining, but the EMH needed to be scaled back, or given a direction that involved a writer's gift for imagination. There was none of that.

(finally, someone who shares my thought about the Doctor!)
Even if Robert Picardo is very entertaining and a good actor, I wonder if he didn't do too much, sometimes...

 

[2takesfrakes]

Indeed, Ghislaine! In the very deed ... The EMH was more fun for the writers than anyone else, regardless of who else liked him. It's not even that his concerns seem completely contrary to what a living hologram would adopt. It's that since he is a Hologram, much - though not all - of his growth is in the Holodeck. And what's the holodeck? It's just a way of killing time. They use the EMH to be emotionally manipulative within it ("Real Life" as one example), but in the end, it's there to excuse lazy writing, so the staff doesn't have to exert itself. For this reason, the EMH was focused on.

Actually, more-so than the Kes-leaving Seven-entering issue is that of some level of 'sophisticated' consistency.
Think about it: They have tried their version of a slip-stream drive. Several episodes later they, through Lt. Barclay, are in contact with Starfleet. Sending Ship's logs, crew reports etc to them. Soooo why didn't Starfleet look at the logs and information about the Slip Stream drive and get back with them on how to make it work? End-game never would have happened. (Either time-frame. Admiral Janeway's or Captain Janeway's). Characters come and go. Realistically I have been 'binge' watching Voyager since it's free on Amazon Prime Video. Honestly, Didn't see much of a use for Kes in the over-all plot lines. Seven certainly stirred the pot. Not just by way of her looks, but by way of her interactions. Kes, mostly alloof, and not pointedly direct. Seven, not alloof, and certainly pointed and direct.
Many other ST actors/actresses worked together just fine, ON SCREEN, that didn't in real life. George Takai will tell you that he and Shatner really don't get along. Shatner really had issues with everyone...because he saw himself as more important than them. Ego's live in Hollywood. Heck, I even see plot lines already used in STNG that were re-hashed to be their big screen movies. You watch a movie of STNG and realize, I KNOW I've seen this before...and you did!

All in all I think Jeri deserves credit, she played the attractive female supporting character and gave a lot of depth to a role that would inevitably be unfairly scrutinized.

By season 7 she and the doctor were the stars.

 

[Sophie74656]

You are assuming that they knew how to make the slip stream drive work? If they did then they would have told them how to make it work and then every ship in the fleet would have the drive. Since in Nemesis we didn't see the Enterprise using a slip stream drive (if any ship in the fleet was going to have it surely the Flagship would be the first) then it's fairly safe to assume they didn't have the knowledge.

No matter, the result is that I overdosed with him. For me, the EMH is not only a egocentric douche (outside his medical practice, where he excels) but a sex maniac too. Similarities he shares with Dr Julian Bashir of DS9.
Sorry, but I prefer the personalities of Leonard McCoy, Beverly Crusher, Kate Pulaski and Phlox.

 

[Sophie74656]

How is the Doctor a sex maniac?

 

[Paradise City]

Bashir and the Doctor daydream basically and are generally unlucky. Phlox has more than one wife -- although he's a settled character, content with his lot. Crusher has her moments when she gets carried away...that sultry Scottish episode being one example of that.

How is the Doctor a sex maniac?

yeah, I thought that was a bit of an overstretch. He had intimate relations what, once? And he has bad taste in women's clothing but that doesn't indicate it's perversion.

I'd like to take the opportunity of this post to wish you and your loved ones, ...
"BONNE ANNEE 2017!!! "
(good health, prosperity and success throughout 12 months which appear at us)

Today, was aired, "Le Safari de tous les dangers" (ortiginal title: "Against the Wild 2: Survive the Serengenti") and let's be honest, except the magnificent landscapes of the Serengeti, the tv movie was worthless. Even Jeri's part (she played the role of a desperate mother, who searches her 2 children, lost in the Serengeti further to a plane crash and who try to survive in a hostile environment) was of the most classic. In fact, I wonder if she didn't only accept the role for the wonderful trip in Africa which it offered (I read on her Facebook page, that her husband, the french chef, Christophe Emé, and her daughter have accompanied her the time of the shooting).

Anyway, I just had the confirmation that the actress very felt at ease with the children, maybe more than with the actor who played his husband in the movie!

It's just too bad that Seven wasn't at the beginning of the series.

He was had feelings for the woman in the Beowolf program, Denara Pel, and a crush on Seven. I'd hardly call that a sex maniac.

But in regards to that subject, after the comment about the "addition" to his program that he made I have always wondered how that addition was made. He had to have asked B'Elanna to make the addition for him, and that conversation had to have been funny. (there is a brief mention of it in his book)

He could have asked Harry, who was a holodeck specialist, although - right, never mind.

He could have but it seems that every time he needed something with his program he went to B'Elanna first.
