Time and Again

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Apaz there was some on set joke about everyone getting fatter Robbie McNeill is quite puffy!

 

[Melakon]

Why did they all gain after seven showed up I can only speculate.

Yes, we can speculate. She did say she moonlighted on weekends in a restaurant kitchen while working on Boston Public. Maybe she did something similar during VOY and brought in samples.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Moonlighted? wtf for?

Oh I bet she has a huge beautiful house now. That's what for.

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

I never noticed any weight gain from any of the cast. Though I will say Kate looked way more different face-wise in the later seasons. I think it was the wig vs her real hair.

Actors do sometimes get thicker around the middle when in a successful series, simply because they're eating more regularly. Frakes is a good example. In TNG Season 1 he's pretty lean. Then in '88 he got married and was probably getting bigger paychecks than he'd ever seen before. That's when he started getting heavier.

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

I always thought it was the other way around. For example, by season 6 of Buffy, SMG looked very bony. You're on set for like 12 hours, when is there time to eat between memorizing lines and filming?

These are the bad things about Chak:

The angry warrior speech. Seriously, would you EVER have sex with a man who told you a parable about his feelings for you? That is scary passive aggressive. It's gross. It's weird. It's super unsexy.

Oh Chak, why did you do it.

The whole mystic spirit animal thing. I can see two scenarios:

Chakotay: A-koo-chi-moy-a...
Janeway: Geshundheit.


Chakotay: A-koo-chi-moy-a...
Everybody: SHUT UP!

There's usually a crafts services table set up filled with food and drinks on a soundstage, so the actors can nibble all day when not on camera. This might vary with productions though. Maybe Whedon wasn't feeding the cast and crew.

I hear when it's a cop show they put there donuts to get them into the spirit of things...

I found The Chute to be utterly boring. It was all I could do to not skip it and move on.

"The Chute" has its good spots but most of them takes place when the action is on the ship, not at the prison station.

Most of it, its' all about Kim's role as the series "whipping boy" which means that he's beaten up a couple of times and the viewers should feel sorry for him.

Tom is the one who gets stabbed in the guts. That's way worse than being beaten up.

That's right. But he comes up as rather obnoxious during the episode (thanks to the clamp) while Kim is the one to feel pity for during the whole episode.

I just want them to comfort each other. More.

 

[Melakon]

"This man is my friend! Nobody touches him! Except me."

Comfort or confront? I'd rather the latter.

 

[Kobayshi Maru]

"This man is my friend! Nobody touches him! Except me."

I'll crush his skull with this pipe before I let you do anything to him!
