      Jadzia can save her own self though because she’s a badass. Porthos is a helpless lil doggo.

        I like both Ezri and Jadzia, but Rick Berman did Terry Ferrell dirty and that’s the only reason we had Ezri. So I like Ezri, but there never should have been an Ezri.

          She wanted to be on Becker so it was her fault. Berman could have been nice and written her into fewer episodes. But it was her moving to a major network show that killed her off.

                  Becker was a high profile major network show which would have gone along with a major salary increase. If she really wanted to leave, she wouldn’t have ask to stay but written out of more episodes so as to not conflict with her Becker schedule.

        I liked him. They could’ve made the “boy genius” storyline a bit better, but then the “genius” part overlaps with Data too much I guess. Also, he shouldn’t have had issues getting into the academy at all

          He’d have been so cool as like a prodigy type, that’s where I thought they were going with him making cool gadgets and understanding traveller. I really wish they’d just gone through with it, since the best and brightest are supposed to be the very fabric of starfleet no overlap should be a problem.

            Well, you generally don’t want your characters to be redundant though. A boy genius finding it hard to integrate with the crew (which was where it was heading, with the famous “shut up Wesley” being an example, or that Picard didn’t want children on the bridge) is quite close to wondorous machine that doesn’t fully understand what it means to be human finds it hard to integrate with the crew etc

        I was 10 years old when TNG started, so Wesley was perfect for me. “A kid can be on the bridge of the Enterprise? A kid like me?”

        Also, Wil Wheaton is awesome. And a good actor.

          I like Wil but his actor skills are gone. His appearance in Picard was cringingly bad. Although I partly blame the director for allowing such a bad performance to go to print.

            I really liked him in Eureka. I don’t think his acting skills have gone all that far downhill since then. And I’m not sure what sort of performance you expected from a superbeing Wesley.

              Eureka was 18 years ago!

              I expected something like Wesley from the TNG episode, Journey’s End where he was fantastic. Instead it was like if you put Adam Savage on set and told him to geek out about being on Trek.

    The dog is the only one that can’t actually consent to space travel, and regardless, couldn’t possibly know the risks. It is innocent, and doesn’t deserve a violent fate.

    Everyone else knows that they signed up to live in a metal box, with an artificial biosphere, which is all that separates them from the cold void of deep space. Also, said deep space is jam-packed full of things trying to actively break that metal box, if the crew doesn’t beat them to it first. And nobody knows that better than Seven.

      Seven didn’t. At least not originally. Annika was dragged along by her parents out into the middle of nowhere to get assimilated.

      Yes, she decided as an adult to continue her career in space, but she definitely didn’t make that original choice.

        Yeah, but no one gets to choose where they live as a kid. Her parents took her to a particularly dangerous place, but plenty of parents go someplace dangerous with their kids on purpose. It’s basically abusive behavior, but it’s also not like they ever lauded Annika’s parents as heroes. They were pretty neutral on what happened.

        We all live in outer space, out in the middle of nowhere. Everyone ever has, and will. And not a single one of us got a warning of the risks before they roped us all into this. Kinda messed up when you think about it.
