Really good interview, I'm glad she's doing so much press in support of the episode.
It's kind of nuts that this is her first episodic TV credit - she's been very open about how that process works, both here and elsewhere (her interview with Cirroc on The 7th Rule is good, too).
I've never been convinced that the ear-grabbing actually did anything. Bareil certainly had no patience for it.
It's funny - I knew he would be wearing it at some point, sort of had my eye out for it...and didn't notice it at all when I actually watched the episode.
I wonder if there was more to it that got cut for time. I think it's...fine as it is, if only because Holly Hunter's physicality in the role is a sight to behold. But it doesn't have much to offer besides the further development of the relationship between Ake and Kelrec.
It's not a video, but thanks for playing.
Who are you asking? Do you have an opinion of your own? Is there any chance at all you have something to say about the interview you're ostensibly discussing?
DS9 was not a UPN show - it was syndicated.
The residents of the Institute are a bit of a minefield, not least because the show didn't do much to sketch out exactly what challenges they were living with. We're unfortunately left to assume that they would be at risk of harming themselves or others were they living on their own.
I do think Lauren was portrayed as having delusions more than any kind of "sex addiction," and you could make the case that Patrick may not be able to safely care for himself.
But a lot has happened in the deinstitutionalization movement since those episodes were produced, so it's pretty tough to justify way they were treated. It is, however, a decent mirror to the way society was at that time.
I've been pretty excited for this one ever since it was highlighted as a "love letter" to DS9...but I was pretty nervous about a couple of things.
I wasn't sure how the hell they would make it relevant to the cast of this show, and keep them rightly front-and-centre. There was no obvious connection for them to do so, and it wouldn't serve them well to just do a full-on nostalgia fest.
I also wasn't sure how to explore Sisko's fate in a way that felt substantial. It seems like any story about his return would have to be pretty significant (or, alternatively, so insignificant that it would be hard to make an episode about it).
As it turns out, I needn't have worried. They threaded the needle pretty perfectly. SAM was the central character from beginning to end, and her "connection" to Sisko was uniquely intertwined with the character's motivations. And they sidestepped my second issue entirely, but in a way that I still found satisfying.
I feel bad for Ben and Kasidy's kid, though - apparently completely insignificant to the history books.
And I do hope he was able to visit them from time to time.
Is that the lesson here? 🤔
It's only sitting next to a portal to the other side of the galaxy that also happens to be the home of a species that exists outside of linear time - nothing significant there!
They seem to be tailoring the SFS previews for the social media crowd, with no "standard" formatting.
I suppose you could argue it's targeting a specific audience, but...it's weird.
The "context" is in the headline. That tells you all that you should need to know to determine whether you want to read the article.
The fact that you seem to want someone to do that work for you and tell you what to think (divorcing whatever gets highlighted from its full context in the interview in the process) is frankly disappointing.
