I’d like to recommend that each day is a different picture of O’Brien in agony as there are so many screenshots to choose from.
I recommend checking the previous 2 posts.
I know I’m late, but next year we should do 6 O’Briens in Agony because it maximizes the total O’Briens in Agony (6 = argmax{n*(12-n+1}).
Currently we’ve minimized O’Briens in Agony, which feels out of tune with the show writing.
Simpler alternative:
Robe guy kinda looks like Giuliani.
HA! I almost made a comment on my post saying “ignore Giuliani in the background”!
Both versions are great
It’s not a good day unless O’Brien suffers.
Great find! I wasn’t sure there was a shot featuring at least (precisely) 4 phasers.
Fun fact: I scrubbed through that whole fight and there is exactly 1 frame where only 4 beams are on screen, and it’s the view screen of the Alito and not a very clear shot. The rest are
54 beams or <=3And in DS9 the big fleet actions only have only a few ships firing at a time. I didn’t think the phaser effect cost that much, but presumably I was wrong about that.
Figured it could work for the meme.
Who is the mademoiselle on the wine bottle label at far right of the 3 captains?! I love a subtle inside joke.
Geneviève Bujold the original actor for Janeway, who quit after 2 days on set.
Thank you! I thought she was “let go”. Why did she quit? I love backstage goss, no matter how old it is.
“Bujold was the first choice of the producers of Star Trek: Voyager to play Captain Nicole Janeway. She quit after a day and a half of shooting, with the public reason being she was unaccustomed to the hectic pace of television filming. (See: Bujold as Captain Nicole Janeway) Other rumored reasons included dissatisfaction with her performance on the part of the producers and dissatisfaction with the character on the part of Bujold. As Rick Berman politely put it in the October 8-14, 1994 issue of TV Guide: “It was immediately obvious it was not a good fit.” The producers subsequently hired TV veteran Kate Mulgrew, and changed the captain’s first name from Nicole to Kathryn on Mulgrew’s advice”
Something tells me Berman is the real reason.
Thank you! Why is that?
Rick Berman is notorious for being a misogynist. He made various “sex appeal” decisions throughout Trek for the sake of viewership (adding 7 of 9 to Voyager, swapping Jadzia for Ezri on DS9, making T’Pol wear skin-tight clothes + the decon chamber + her Pon Farr phase)
Odds are he didn’t think Ms Bujold had the right “look” for the role or something similar.
