You have issues seeing fictional human characters being human? Why is that? (Your poor first wife)
Ok. What is the chance of a Picard spinoff?
- Thread starter ELCHawk
- Start date
Wasn't there a Jerry Ryan involved as well? Feel like she was a Producer, or Director or something?
Aside from the time he totally did that.
She had way way too much of her backstory buried in comic books most of us will never read and are technically non-canonical except where they are.
Jack is well named because he's a jack of all trades!
I'm exceptionally down with the idea of Star Trek: Legacy, and I want Seven to be the captain/lead of that show, but I have to say that seeing those three in their seats at the end of Picard I had misgivings, for one simple reason.
Seven: She's a maverick renegade who cuts corners to get the job done!
Raffi: She's a maverick renegade who cuts corners to get the job done!
Jack: He's the very epitome of a maverick renegade who cuts corners to get the job done!
I dunno, if they went to series I think they'd need to tinker with that dynamic a little. I wonder if it's possible to make Raffi a little more by the book without diluting the character? and I wonder if it's possible to do anything with Jack without him taking over the show? I really like all three characters and maybe the addition of some new characters would help, but like I say, just not 100% sold on that particular line-up in its current form.
They can modify this to be the theme song:
It might suffer the same was as Firefly did, where everyone was Han Solo and it become obviously why not everyone on the ship should be Han Solo and they had to give them quirkier one-note sub things to try and differenciate them out. (Though Gina Torres and Nathan Filion were basically interchangeable).
I think a good year with all the anger burned away from Raffi and her mentoring under Worf would allow her to be a more rational number one. You can also consider that the burden of command now weighs heavily on Seven and that, after the increasingly dour and stodgy Starfleet we've seen, the Fleet's been shaken to its core rather a bit with a lot of senior officer core and even admiralty basically decimated, Starfleet and the Federation as a whole might need some problem solvers back in the Saddle.
I liked the JL bit. Showed they had a different dynamic than Picard and the Enterprise bunch.
It was a pretty nice “hovel” in a scenic location. Not exactly a rundown shack in the bad part of town.
As someone who comes up with annoying nicknames for no good reason, I liked the JL.
As for the hovel; ugh, I thought that was put to rest. It was a nice location, and had all the amenities needed for living.
It bombed.
That's very true, what do we do about Jack the lad though?
I read the prequel novel by Una McCormack long before I watched season 1. The poor author just has to handwave the nickname and is like yeah, no good explanation for that one, moving on...
Nails on a chalkboard for me. Let's give a character a super annoying trait. No way will that be super annoying to the audience!
Speaking of annoying characters, imagine if instead of DS9, the TNG spin off was about Wesley Crusher, and every episode was a Wesley Crusher episode. I think people would have the right to complain and be annoyed. And when you do have a series based on an annoying character, well, negative feedback might well result.
Yeah it's like you're squatting in a state park. Someone high up must really be taking pity on you.
So I don't begrudge anyone that found Raffi annoying in seasons 1 and 2.
But Michelle Hurd is a good when given good material. Some of the other actors involved in season 1 were relative newbies to acting.
... "Explanation?" You need an "explanation" for a nickname now? She gave him a nickname. She used his initials. It's pretty self-explanatory.
If giving someone a minor nickname is "nails on a chalkboard" for you, I really don't even know what to say. People give playful nicknames sometimes. It's not a big deal.
I think of the three, Seven's most likely to land the role of Captain Killjoy, if only because she's the one Starfleet can yank the ship out from under.
Peeking in for the first time in hours. Anyway, I knew this was all going to go down eventually, I know this board, but I'm glad it didn't happen for real until AFTER the season ended.
How is it annoying? It’s a nickname not snoring or picking your toenails,
why squatting? She may have every legal right to live there.
Studio was looking for the next Harry Potter.
The question is why Picard would let that nickname slide. Just look at the Martin Madden deleted scene from NEM. Sure it's not canon, but it does demonstrate the most recent aspect of the character.
The JL thing was a major tool in the YouTuber anti-season 1 toolkit. And they do have a point.
And to think all this started because I actually tried to defend Raffi's portrayal in season 3, and that Michelle Hurd shouldn't be blamed for faults in her character early on...

It depends on greatly on the relationship. Some people get a bond quickly and that forms and includes different permissions. That's why I never had an issue with it. I have had such varied experiences with people, both brief and intense, as well as long term, and each is a bit unique in what they have in terms of their own quirks.
