Lursa and B'Etor were the best part of the Generations movie.

By "hate," I don’t mean characters who you think are poorly written or objectively the most threatening/evil. I mean the characters you find the most personally hateable.

EDIT: JUST REALIZED IT'S HARRY MUDD NOT HENRY MUDD DAMN

Heard someone refer to the Duras Sisters as the "angry titty sisters" and now I can't get it out of my head.

I'm beginning to suspect that "repulsive" is the go-to word female non-human species like to describe their unattraction/incompatibility to certain humans, examples being Lursa and B'Etor towards Beverly in Star Trek Generations and T'Lyn towards Boimler in "Twovix."

On November 18, 1994, Star Trek the Next Generation transitioned to the big screen. William Shatner (Captain James T Kirk), James Doohan (Scotty), and Walter Koenig (Chekov) from the original franchise appeared in the film to pass the torch. Leonard Nimoy (Spock), Deforest Kelley (Bones), and George Takei (Sulu) were originally slated to return with Kirk instead but declined. The movie introduced Alan Ruck as Star Fleet Captain Harriman, and a new villian named Soran played by Malcom McDowell. Returning from the TV series were Patrick Stewart (Picard), Jonathan Frakes (Riker), Brent Spiner (Data), LeVar Burton (Geordi), Michael Dorn (Warf), Gates McFadden (Beverly), Marina Sirtis (troi), Majel Barrett (computer), Whoopie Goldberg (Guinan), Barbara March (Lursa), and Gwynyth Walsh (B'Etor). The film saw the death of Captain Kirk, which had to be reshot due to dislike at screenings of the original death. It also featured the destruction of Enterprise.

so ive finished my s4 finale rewatch and much as i fucking loved those episodes, the misogyny was Glaring, namely in the way they brought back denise crosby just to have tasha retroactively kidnapped, held hostage for four years, forced to have a baby, and then executed like was any of that necessary? just to have her half-romulan daughter show up and give picard manpain? they didnt even explore the concept fully bc it was crammed in as a side plot to a high action two parter, we got no reactions from the people tasha was closest to (deanna, data, worf) bc there was too much going on.

then there was the way lursa and b'etor were written which like, i love a camp villainess as much as the next dyke but i cant believe how much skeevieness was going on there. there are ways to make your female villains sexy while still writing them as People rather than sexually aggressive woc caricatures, it was really uncomfortable.
