OMG!! deanna was going to marry Tea Bag!!!

[Guy Gardener]

Cute little Wyatt Wilson grows up to be a psycho killer on FOX.

Wow.

You don't watch Prison break?

The Guy with on hand who keeps trying to murder everyone.

Yeah.

That Guy.

 

[Finn]

Who?

 

[Tosk]

He means Robert Knepper.

Wyatt Miller in TNG's "Haven", and Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell on Prison Break.

 

[Shatmandu]

That's the worst hairline I've seen since Shatner in ST:III.

Joe, full bodied

 

[John Clark]

I haven't seen Prison Break yet, but that chap's popped up in a couple of films I've seen recently and I knew I recognized him from somewhere - Thanks

 

[Cyke101]

Yeah, Wyatt Miller was hot. T-Bag, not so much.

 

[Trekker4747]

Yeah, I learned this recently too.

Kind of messed up and, I suppose, really shows the man's range when it comes to acting. The characters and how he acts with them couldn't possilbly be more polar opposites.

Agreed! I'm not a big fan of Prison Break, but there is one line the slimy
T-Bag said in an early ep, where the prisoners take over and T-Bag is holding one of the guards hostage. One of the other prisoners tells him not to mess with the guard, and he replies, in that horrible hiss, "I'm just kicking it here with Deputy Dawg!" The way he calls Michael Scofield, "Pretty," is creepy, too. -- RR

That picture of Rob when he is older up above, pays no justice to the miracles the makeup people perform turning him into a scuzzy cad like Bagwell.

"Deliverance-Vision".

Indeed. That picture is of T-Bag after a full spa-weekend treatment.

God, his T-Bag is just slimy and awesome. It's amazing he has't be nominated for a supporting acting emmy for that show. The guy is just creepy. The way he uses words, the his, the "acting with his tounge."

Everything about him screams "scuzzy, slimey, pedophillic murderer."

 

[dispatcher812]

Holy CRAP!! I love Prison break and never realized it.

U would think by the 24 century that arranged marriages would be a thing of the past for humans

 

[Guy Gardener]

I was quite amused by the line where lwaxana notes that her daughter has her pappys accent, and it would be so much more ladylike if she talked properly. Go classism! It seems that although Lwaxana might like to saunter with a rough crowd, she has standards for her own progeny after the fact...

Where on earth is Deanna's father supposed to come from?

But the ritual was completely betaoid.

My guess would be that no betazoid family at their social level wanted their child paired with a half breed? Look at the trouble T'Pring went to get out of her marriage with Spock!

But then look at those problems when that lad who used to be a klingon in the 60s who was married to Barbara Eden (Koloth?) tried to impose his own cultures imperatives on child raising against Lwaxanna's inclinitions?

It wasn't a Human arranged marriage.

 

[Guy Gardener]

It wasn't a Human arranged marriage.

3/4's of the happy couple were human. One set of parentinlaws were completely human. The Custom might have been Betaoid, but the Millers, a couple or ordinary humans decided to take a giant step backwards for some reason to effectively maroon their son into a loveless impractical union.

Dowery?

Status of the grandchildren?

A favour for their friends?

Going "native"?

Some cultures, notably many South Asian cultures, happily practice arranged marriages to this day. I'd hardly call it primitive, just misunderstood.

 

[Guy Gardener]

I'm sitting like 5 feet away from a girl who is in an arranged marriage.

She explained the process, and it seems there was ample opportunity for her to get to know the guy before anything got serious, and many opportunities for either of them to back out if anything felt wrong. Perfectly civilized.

Sounds no worse than a dating service.

Parents changing currency so that the babies they are nursing will marry in 20 years of so with no wiggle room in the contract, is beyond barbaric and just plain stupid. You can't confuse an arranged marriage with slavery which is a common misconception.

This is about as close as Deanna came to cold feet:

LWAXANA: Darling, I'm terribly sorry about what happened here. Truly I am. Steven Miller tracked me down and reminded me of the vows we had made.
TROI: Mother, I'm having some trouble believing in those vows as once I did.
LWAXANA: Deanna.
TROI: But I'll honour them, of course. I'm a Betazoid.
LWAXANA: You may find Wyatt an unusual person. I've sensed remarkable depths in him.

The amazing part to me is that Prison Break has been on for four years and this is the first time you guys caught this. I am such a dork, I noticed from the first day only because I recognized Robert Knepper's name form TNG.

[Guy Gardener]

It would have been 6 years ago last time haven was on TV, and I got short ended by the video tape after 14 minutes because I forgot that there were already four episodes of Enterprise on it.

I punched myself like in Fight Club.

I thought this thread was about a different Tea Bag.
