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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

                MelBORRRRN is usually how most americans massacre it

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

      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.

    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.

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

      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.

        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
