I've already said as much in a comment on the other thread, but Lwaxana is amazing. She's the only ST character that Barrett got to play that was truly fleshed out, and it shows how amazing an actress she was. I'm so glad to see SNW doing her TOS era characters justice.
I need to find a list of all Lwaxana episodes and binge them. :D
Some risks are just worth taking.
We shall boldly waddle where no one has waddled before (or to sick bay).
That was, legitimately, one of the funniest things I've ever heard. The bit with Moriarty was amazing!
Ahh! Okay. Thank you for clarifying!
Oh that makes it so much better!
What's crazy to me, I also remembered this as a DS9 episode until I watched it during an ent run a week ago.
Can someone explain to me why these two movies are linked? I keep seeing references to them together.
People forget. Star trek has already done a musical episode. Mr. Data sang the breakout pop hit "Life forms" on the bridge of the enterprise. It was glorious. It was amazing. It is literally the only thing you should watch, ever again. Just that. On loop.
Without question. Majel was the GOAT, too. I've always gotten this very sad vibe from her life story. Cheated out of being second in command of a star ship for being too "Manish," relegated to an occasional side roll as a love lorn, and unlovable, nurse, then Lwaxana was very much so cast the same way, as undesirable, and while worthy of love, unable to actually achieve it. All while in real life she was being repeatedly cheated on by Roddenberry. At least Lwaxana got some real character development, and is a badass strong woman in her own right.
I'm so glad that SNW is giving her two TOS era characters the respect they deserved, and making them into the badasses that Majel deserves to play. It's a great homage to her. They've also done a really good job at mimicking her voice for the computer in several scenes.
Sorry😅 that's a wall of text to say that Majel Barrett rocks and Lwaxana is my favorite character of hers.
The word "memes" is entirely unnecessary to that sentence, tbh.
Lwaxana, be-still my heart.
Legitimately tempted to try this on my next discussion post...
Oh, God, the idea of mimic socks is horrifyingly scary!
