    Can I save all BUT one? Because then I’d choose Michael Burnham NOT to save. I actually liked her character in season 1, and even in most of season 2, but once they jumped to the future, she’s just become insufferable. I hate the term “Mary Sue,” as it is typically used incorrectly (and typically for misogynistic reasons), but Burnham has very much turned a Mary Sue.

    The dog is the only one that can’t actually consent to space travel, and regardless, couldn’t possibly know the risks. It is innocent, and doesn’t deserve a violent fate.

    Everyone else knows that they signed up to live in a metal box, with an artificial biosphere, which is all that separates them from the cold void of deep space. Also, said deep space is jam-packed full of things trying to actively break that metal box, if the crew doesn’t beat them to it first. And nobody knows that better than Seven.

      Seven didn’t. At least not originally. Annika was dragged along by her parents out into the middle of nowhere to get assimilated.

      Yes, she decided as an adult to continue her career in space, but she definitely didn’t make that original choice.

        We all live in outer space, out in the middle of nowhere. Everyone ever has, and will. And not a single one of us got a warning of the risks before they roped us all into this. Kinda messed up when you think about it.

        Yeah, but no one gets to choose where they live as a kid. Her parents took her to a particularly dangerous place, but plenty of parents go someplace dangerous with their kids on purpose. It’s basically abusive behavior, but it’s also not like they ever lauded Annika’s parents as heroes. They were pretty neutral on what happened.

    It would be Dex, but the old fart is gonna make it anyway. So I’ll save 1/6th of everyone and let an annoyed hologram fix the rest in sick bay.

        I like both Ezri and Jadzia, but Rick Berman did Terry Ferrell dirty and that’s the only reason we had Ezri. So I like Ezri, but there never should have been an Ezri.

          She wanted to be on Becker so it was her fault. Berman could have been nice and written her into fewer episodes. But it was her moving to a major network show that killed her off.

            She wanted to be on Becker after years of being treated like shit by Berman.

                I get that. What I’m saying is that she wanted to go to Becker because Berman was a jerk.

                  Becker was a high profile major network show which would have gone along with a major salary increase. If she really wanted to leave, she wouldn’t have ask to stay but written out of more episodes so as to not conflict with her Becker schedule.

        I like Ezri. It was somewhat crazy to me that they never originally intended on killing her off to begin with.

        Like, they created a race that can (sort of) Doctor Who style turn into a brand new person, and their plan was to never utilise that beyond one season 1 episode where someone steals the Dax symbiote?

        That’s crazy to me. Don’t get me wrong, they did utilise the “I have multiple lifetimes of experience” aspect, but never intending to give her a new character was a little odd.

        I really liked Ezri. It’s just really unfortunate what happened to Terry Farrell that made it happen.

          As far as I remember, I don’t think we were ever told how long a symbiote can live for, as such it’d be kinda cool for a Dax to show up in the final season of DISCO. I highly doubt that will happen, but it’d be cool :)

      Because this community is filled with dissapointments. Who think it’s funny to equate women and dogs. Then brush off complaints with shit like “but the girls can save themselves! god why is comedy illegal now!?”

      Don’t worry about calling me out for being insulting by calling people dissapointments folks. I’m unsubbing. I cant with this place anymore.

      We know cheese makes Porthos sick, but we never found out where Porthos goes when he needs to do his business. Is there a turf deck on the NX-01?
