I don't know what I'm seeing. I've never seen this before.
"Everybody" is not against me. A dozen-ish Trek BBS posters is not "everybody". It is the content of the posts, not the number of posters that is what the strength of an argument rests on. We have alot of fans of the show giving it 8's, 9's and 10s who are maybe a little touchy and a little bit salty about it being strongly criticized.
IMO, Laris a potential Avon style character in this series. And this being Star Trek, she's left at home, because it's too easy for this type of character to upstage everyone around them.
Avon's greatest lines, IMO:
"I'm not stupid. I'm not expendable. I'm not going."
and in response to Dayna asking if he ever get's tired of being right all the time he answers:
"Only with you being wrong."
Or, some people just disagree. Everybody didnt give this 10/10. But alot more gave 8 or 10 than 4 or 5 out of 10. One of the 5/10 raters (myself) is making criticisms that the large majority who say 7, 8, 9 or 10 dont agree with. In other words, it's another day on the internet.
so why is not one poster backing you up? i think miguel de cervantes wrote a book about it, or might be herman melville.
Can't be either one, both characters realized at some point the error of their ways.
(even if it was too late)
I don't see this tale ending with anything short of a Varon-T.
the day is young
If I don't imediately get something, I adjust my how I'm looking at it to see if it works from a differing point of view. Prnouncing something is stupid and lazy rarely seems like the most productive approach to broadening anyones appreciation of how art can be approached.
Probably because the other people who rated the episode 5 or lower dont give enough of a shit about an episode they thought was mediocre to stick around and debate the point.
Or a guy called Chabon is showrunning a series about it.
yeah, if you are the only one to give a shit you need to make sure it hits the fan
Is it not at least more precise that Picard wanted Raffi involved? No, he does not ask her to take take the journey with him, but Picard does ask Raffi to look at more information regarding Dahj and Maddox even after she literally says, "Never again."
This particular fan, is already completely covered and is just flinging it onto the forum walls now.
Depends on the site. You go to Jammers Reviews and there's a whole lot of folks who clearly rate it below 5 who can't stop talking about what is wrong with the ep and the series.
Sometimes sloppy writing and actor choices make a character seem like a - how would you phrase it? Moral Mary Sue. Thing is, I don't see a bad performance out of Stewart nor do I see sloppy writing. Nor do I see anything more than the Admiral feeling like he let down millions of victims by not being able to follow through on his promise to help them. In real life people with emotional attachments to others can withdraw into themselves and mope after failing to come through with the help they promised said others. It doesn't equate with that person having an overinflated sense of moral superiority that the burdens of the universe are on their shoulders and they should be the one to solve them. 
Picard's not a Moral Mary Sue. He's a flawed man who felt deeply hurt that Starfleet and the Federation AND HIMSELF failed people he'd grown to care about. He had a predictable reaction to personal failure on a colossal scale: retreat and self-pity and choosing to avoid any attention for that big a failure. He's not a Moral Mary Sue. He's a human being who believed too much in himself at the cost of his own self-confidence and beliefs in the system he represented.

That girl is so deep underground she's telling the Mole Men to avoid this thread.
Afro Spock digs up Moral Mary Sue. You heard it here first on TrekToday. Meteorologists forecast another 50 pages of endless debate on the subject by another name. Or, for you Trekkies out there, By Any Other Name.
