Unethical polyamory not in the sense that the partners aren't consenting to multiple relationships but in the sense that they kill people as a group

People only like the idea of trickster spirits. "Oh, I could deal with them, easy." But once they meet one in person it's suddenly "wow, this guy sure is annoying."

yeah, those type of shots were really popular with soap operas as a cost and time cutting masseur. It's a great way to show two faces and two reactions without having to film the scene more than once, which is necessary when you are shooting on a very tight budget and schedule.

I noticed this shoot appears a lot in Voy, and less so in other ST shows of the same era (DS9, especially) . I don't know if this show was filmed on a tighter budget/schedule but IMO this kind of framing of the shots gives the show a "soapy" vibe, that we have less off in other ST (in terms of shooting style).

Why? Well, it's totally only a guess, but this show had the first woman captain as it's lead character, soaps were aimed towards women, and it might be another way to appeal to them give it a "woman's touch" if you will. It also gives it a bit of a campy-fun vibe that doesn't take itself too seriously, which does not always alighn with the script.

It's an interesting choice.

One thing that would make me bonkers about living on Voyager is how they constantly engage in conversation with people while turning their backs to them or walking behind them.

I know this a framing device to create a good shot for tv but people doing this to me in real life drives me up the wall.

Finding a new therapist is hard! You have to

understand if they work with your insurance

ask if they are trans and autistic friendly

make sure they watched enough Star Trek/BTVS/Steven Universe/Community so they could understand around 90% of my references.

One awesome thing about being a Star Trek fan is that because it’s old and culturally important/popular it’s constantly referenced in other forms of media and it makes me so so happy to spot these references whether they are subtle or not. It’s got me grinning from ear to ear that I can link these things together.

[honeybadger-who-gives-a-shit]

it’s a shame voyager doesn’t have a proper therapist but like the emh could at least be conducting weekly support groups for people stuck in a threeway situationship with a martyrship-addicted starfleet officer considering that describes the majority of the senior crew

I know Lwaxana was originally written as a horny cougar joke but I kinda love the idea that betazoids have a different reproductive curve than humans and reach peak fertility in their forties or fifties. There would be a whole cultural idea around having to have at least a few decades of life experience and a well established career before you're even considered ready to raise a child.

All this to say that Lwaxana having Deanna in her twenties was probably a huge scandal. Like, this girl from this incredibly prestigious family having the equivalent of a teenage pregnancy and then, because the father is a human the child is basically disabled as well. Prime gossip material.

I believe that is why Lwaxana is like that. She had to learn to not give a shit about other people's opinion very young and she became the legend of a federation ambassador and the woman who will live her best life no matter what just to show them.

How did it make spirk anymore canon than it already was?

It didn't, it established what we already know and feel about those characters. The great, awesome thing this short film had achieved is showing us once again that their love, in whatever way you want to interpret it, was bigger than words, a love that can cross time and universes. And I think that's beautiful. And I also think, in a way, that that decision was even better than making their romantic love canon with a kiss or whatever. This truly feels like a high budget fan film, and I mean that as a compliment.

My only note is that I wanted Bones to be there as well
