I'm finishing up DS9 and about to start Voyager, so hopefully will have a few more of these as I watch through.

Without a hint of irony, the two actors on that show with the best range.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 53 points 2 months ago

I think my favorite is Seven as The Doctor pretending to be Seven. Ryan absolutely nailed Picardo's mannerisms, speech patterns, and body language while adapting those to play her own character.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Yes, splendid episode. They also acted the hell out of Someone to Watch Over Me, though that one ends on a bit of a downer.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 12 points 2 months ago

That episode must have been so much fun to make

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

For sure. And if not fun, at least delicious:

Forget the title, but the other one where Ryan gets to flex her skills (and do a rare bit of comedy) is when she's infected by the sabotaged Borg ~~viniculum~~ ~~vinculum~~ plot device and one of the personalities is a Ferengi.

That one always brings me pleasure to hear her pronounce Melbourne correctly

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 1 points 2 months ago

I'm gonna have to pay attention when that episode comes up. I didn't know there was a wrong way to pronounce Melbourne lol

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

MelBORRRRN is usually how most americans massacre it

While we're at it, it's also not can-berra. It's canbrah

Wow. Unexpected “thanks, Obama.”

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

I honestly feel bad for Robert Picardo. He must've had such horrible back pain from carrying that entire show by himself for 3 seasons.

He gets so excited he messes his chair, so they had to put a blanket over it.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

After reading this comment I'm certain I'm in the bad timeline now

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

That’s how I felt after watching Star Trek Picard.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 4 points 2 months ago

I'm choosing to look at it like the chair is on yellow alert just in case.

Something is wrong with this image

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Like, "feels wrong" or isn't loading? I ask because the original source is flaky and I attached it through my instance's image cache/proxy.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

It feels wrong

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 months ago

Robert Picardo wrote an episode of Voyager (I think the only other cast regular to write a TV episode was Majel Barrett) that featured himself as 2 characters. Sometimes if you want screen time you just make it yourself.

[-] Crumbgrabber@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Or it could have been the unceasing demand of enthralled adoring fans.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Lol when did it stop being a common marketing tactic?

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 8 points 2 months ago

Touche, but I think it did scale back at least for a while in the mid to late 2000's didn't it?

I haven't seen a commercial since I cord-cut in 2009, so I may be a bit out of the loop when it comes to current advertising trends, haha. If I see an ad on any device in my network, I go to red alert until I patch the security breach that allowed the ad in.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Well now that you mention it, I've been ad free since like 2014, but it was def still rampant with the sexualization then lol

I'm the same way, I drop everything when an ad makes its way through my many layers of blocking lol, I don't even make exceptions for the spouse and kid's ftp games, they want to see that shit they can drop to cellular data LMAO

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

if you want to see a mustachio'd robert picardo as a foul-mouthed angry police lieutenant, go watch that movie dead heat. top 5 best worst movies ever.

he's also meg mucklebones in legend

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

From around Nov-Dec last year.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago
[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

after you watch dead heat, watch gunmen with christopher lambert and mario van peebles-- patrick stewart plays an evil foul-mouthed crime boss and dennis leary is his henchman

[-] Crumbgrabber@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Who the fuck downvoted this? The doctor is second in sex appeal only to my own.

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 months ago

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
