  Deanna was always done a dirty by the writers. As an empath she could short cut the tension and drama of most story lines so it was an endless case of "I am unable to read them" to allow some narrative tension.

    Now 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.

      piped.video/watch?v=-6Zc8Co2H3w&t=92 At 1:30 is a nice highlight of how they did her dirty, in a light hearted way. Whole vid is great too.

    The three Deanna storylines:

    1. I sense the thing you’re all seeing.
    2. My powers are useless because reasons
    3. Time to get mind-raped

  I always love one-on-one scenes between characters who others don’t get much time together

  For example, Data asking Worf for advice on picking out a present for a human wedding is gold!

    Oh thanks for reminding me that I have cake in the fridge. Fuck it. Cake for breakfast. I’m an adult. I’m allowed.

    Janeway actually didn’t let me live. She split me into bitch and asshole. Got sick of them and put them back together into me. Turns out they cancel each other out. Who knew?

      I think I’ve uncovered your secret identity:

      Janeway was always a scientist, clearly working on cutting edge stuff.

      Hope you enjoyed the cake!

  Fun fact: cats don’t just purr when they’re happy! They use it as a method of self-calming and healing when feeling anxious or unwell. Amazingly they purr at a frequency that stimulates healing, which is one possible reason as to why the behavior evolved in the first place. Each individual is different of course, but generally you can get a better sense of a cat’s emotional state by observing their eyes (that’s how cats smile!) than by whether they are purring or not.
