Stamets@startrek.website 1 year agoNow I love all Star Trek, no matter what movie or show, but Nemesis had a serious sticking point for me.
You’re right. They fucked over Deanna constantly. Always dropping the ball and making her a background character. Basically Sigourneys character in Galaxy Quest. And in Nemesis they did it again by having the Reman dude rape Deanna just so she could “sense his presence” while cloaked and had a target to fire on.
Picard Season 3 gave some nice time with her at least.

Yeah, an good guy empath is just a bad chsracter idea. Same with time travel.

I hadn’t considered that but you’re right, there are some powers that just don’t work if the good guys have them.

That’s a deep insight into character design, I need to pick your brain sometime.
Blamemeta@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I know you jest, but having an empath who call tell you if theyre lying creates so many issues for so many potential plots.
It can work, but it turns into how Deanna was sidelined.

I was actually not joking, I’d love to hear your ideas about character design.

Back in the 90s there were at least 5 X-men teams and every single one of them had a full telepath on them, but there was still enough drama and plot to create the most intricate superhero soap opera ever created.
Star Trek writers are cowards for avoiding Betazoids.
