I still remember Drunk!Troi from First Contact. If only we could've had more of that, she was clearly enjoying herself.Darth Wedgius wrote:They really should have let Sirtis write some of Troi's dialog, IMHO

I feel like Troi is a real missed opportunity. Maybe she was too nice? Maybe they needed more women writers on staff? Had to be the guy who points to sexism and sighs, but when you look at the cloths and recall all of Gene's bullshit...
Her and Frakes in the commentary track for Insurrection practically redeem that film for me. I think I've watched it more times with the commentary than without.Asvarduil wrote:I still remember Drunk!Troi from First Contact. If only we could've had more of that, she was clearly enjoying herself.
Demona was one of the best villains in Gargoyles because the staff on that show let her actually act, instead of making her fanservice and exposition.MyUserName wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 6:16 am It's hard to go back to Deanna Troi after binging through Gargoyles. Marina voiced such an incredible villain with such gusto and range.
I almost wish TNG ran past Gargoyles run so Marina could incorporate some of Demona's lines into her performance as Troi
I hate to be ''that guy'' but wasn't she hired to be the T'Pol or Seven of Nine of this series? Boobs in a catsuit with an excuse characterization for being there. And a lot of her roles before Star Trek were of the same mold. I kind of suspect she knew what she was getting into, and if she didn't, she surely soon did.Rocketboy1313 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:18 am I coincidentally saw this the other day too.
