Mariner is annoying.
And I enjoy her character, just like Boimler. They work well off each other.

That is not hard to do. Troi just struggles with her job in a way that is almost painful for me with counseling training.
Ikr. I think a counsellor as a recurring character is acrually a good idea, especially a telepathic one, but Troi never amounts to much except maybe in Picard. Guinan ends up doin more ironically
TNG Troi was annoying and a generally perfunctory character leading to underuse. PIC Troi was genius. It’s all in the writing.
I didn't like PIC much and she was great in it.
She was never very good as THE councilor but she was great as Picard's councilor.
What thread is this?
Yeah, Mariner at least has an actual personality.
Beckett's like a lot of people in the actual military. Goofy and/or an asshole. So she fits right in.
I'm not a fan of Mariner at all but I'm actually getting to like Boimler, having seen him in live-action makes me appreciate what he's capable of. (Like the scene in the shuttlecraft where he secretly contacts the Orions to get the grain back, because he doesn't want the colonists to starve.) He's not just an annoying twit like I used to think he was.
I would absolutely love it if LD did an entire episode in live-action...

Read it back, not seeing the issue. She turned up later than he did. I found him just about tolerable, I found her intolerable.
Oh is that what the pissyness was about, I didn't name her by name? Man I can't remember the names of people I worked with for years sometimes. I struggle with names and faces. Expecting me to remember a guest cast name is a tall order.
Unless it's TNG years, I think my young brain absorbed all that like a sponge an started tailing off late into Voyager's run.

As a separate addendum that I didn't put in my review I wanted to say even though I struggled with the episode a bit, I liked the warmth. This show radiates warmth. I love that.
And I find people who refer to a person as "the woman" even worse than intolerable. If you can't remember her name, just say "I dunno her name, but the second future person".
As a woman, I prefer not to see people acting like the word “woman” is an insult, or a word to avoid using as a descriptor.
Is this all you have to worry about in life that a woman is being referred to as a woman, then I hold up a beer to you. It's a very common descriptor.
