Really? I actually liked her character.
I'm not gonna be around most Friday nights either, but I'll tape it to watch later. I just liked the "universe" it's set it, it looks "lived-in", like something that would actually happen. It's not all nice and clean and shiny and perfect like watching Star Trek. |
I found her interal drama to be way to manufactured and forced. Like the director told the actress: "okay now you're tough as nails, and nothing can touch you!"... then 2 minutes later: "now you're the vulnerable little girl who's daddy didn't love her enough". She's only got two settings: angry bitch, and whiny bitch. Real people are a little more dynamic and gradiented.
I do agree with the "lived in" aspect of the world. Star Trek has been working hard to dirty up the series ever since NextGen... but since I haven't watched any of the shows since NextGen, so I haven't really seen what's become of the world.
IMO, the best movie/TV Sci-Fi universe is still Star Wars. I just re-watched Empire (since I got the DVDs for X-Mas) and the battle on Hoth *still* gives me goosebumps. No matter how jacked up the prequels are, the "real" (ep. 4-5.5) Star Wars Universe is still gritty, real, and just plain awesome. It makes me wish Lucas never had kids so we wouldn't have to suffer the Ewok syndrome that's added goofy BS to everything since the second half of Jedi.
