VOY: Revulsion

[SuccubusYuri]

Well I mean, as far as Seven episodes go, Revulsion does give her stuff to work with. I note ALL the episodes listed have Seven deviate from the default "Seven is such a robot and must learn after-school human lesson" in some manner, and that can include sexuality. That doesn't exactly mean she thinks it's great as a social statement, it just means it forced Ryan to think on her feet which she probably found enjoyable over, well, "look at my tiiiiiiits, look at my aaaaassss," and repeating variations on "does not compute" the entire week.

Like, I love characters and designs from SoulCalibur. That doesn't mean I think they aren't juvenile or problematic even if I can wax poetic for two hours about how much depth my favorites have.

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

On rewatching this episode, I was struck by the realization that Red Dwarf, a show with mutated development fluid and a flu virus that causes aspects of your personality to manifest as independent people, handled the scientific logistics of "how to take out a hologram" better than the allegedly serious Science Fiction show.

[Eishtmo]

To be fair to Red Dwarf, they were dealing with Rimmer. Thinking of ways to kill him was a past time.

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

But it's not about how the crew took out the hologram, as much as how the writer's decided you could take out a hologram. Lister thinking about ways to off his bunkmate doesn't change that the Red Dwarf writers had a clearer idea of the source system you would have to disrupt to stop a projection than the voyager room full of monkeys on typewriters.

[Eishtmo]

I wasn't talking about Lister, I was talking about the writers.

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

Really? o.o I didn't know they had any desire to kill him off.

[Dînadan]

Really? o.o I didn't know they had any desire to kill him off.

Of course they did, that’s why he died in the first episode ;p
