𤎠I am watching TNG Hollow Pursuits and was this incel before that became a thing? It is so so so so so gross!
Like I am really weirded out that he can create this holodeck program with real people and have Troi kiss him. Be attracted to his gross behaviour.
And it gets worse! I googled and read âthis was thought by the actor to represent a Trek fan onboardâ 𤢠and worse! He doesnât get the punishment he deserves as he becomes a recurring đ I hate it. Why is this ok?
I mean that was a thing in a DS9 episode where some gross guy wanted a program with Kira and asked Quark to make it happen. At least that didnât exist! But it struck me then how wrong the holodeck could be
@Purlturtle
He doesn’t know how to navigate social interactions, and instead plays out his fantasies on the holodeck. It’s disgusting, but I think it’s also understandable in the context of having holodecks available unchecked. To me, if we stay inside the narrative, the only major issue i have is how he got to his position in Starfleet without anyone realizing his behavioral problems. Even with being shuffled around and whatnot, did they not have a single psych eval in the academy?
You would think so given they are purported to only take the âbest and brightestâ and that most applicants donât get in.
Anyway the next episode has a young Artie in it (Warehouse 13). heâs actually in the preview thumbnail on Paramount+ đ hopefully will be fun.
@Purlturtle
Oh that’s a fun one! A lot has been written about Kivas Fatjo (sp?) and Artie and similarities and whatnot.
I didnât know what this meant but now I do!
How⌠serendipitous? I mean what are the odds right? Such a coincidence a young Artie playing a collector before he was Artie.
Makes me wonder tbh about if Warehouse 13 existed in the Trek universe. What would have happened with the warehouse and the wars? What artifacts did the wars create? Could artifacts work off world or is it some kind of special Earth thing? Do other planets create artifacts of their own?
Fun thought experiment đ
