And McFadden isnt even trying anymore. She only had one or two decent scenes.
All it was missing was a 'Shut Up Wesley' but directed at Jack.
Raffi and Worf was the best part of that episode...  |
you know what, I'm gonna agree with you on the Raffi parts not being that bad this week. her exasperation towards philosophy spouting Buddha Worf was pretty funny to me. but they did kill the chamomile tea joke with bad editing, that could have been executed so much better.
Patrick Steward re-discovered a bit of his acting chops in the argument with Crusher, but yea his scenes with Riker continue to not be good. just so much grinning and winking and every line has to be mega witty, like at least try and pretend you're Picard and Riker instead of Patrick and Jonathan being way too giddy to be on screen together again. I didn't like Troi's angry mom call for the same reason, that wacky space Karen has no relation to the stoic Betazoid from before.
the giggly Picard/Riker thing also undermines their argument over command later on, which seems to just come out of nowhere instead of something that had been slowly brewing underneath. I'm finally starting to get used to the dark lighting on the ship but now I have 2 requests...please for the love of Nagilum figure out how to not have bridge crew fatally wounded by the ship shaking around and consoles exploding, it's the 25th century already. and put the freaking camera on a stand when shooting characters talking to each other, I'm getting motion sick from the cameraman struggling to hold his equipment up.
