So we're stuck with Borg Mystery Girl as plot for season 1

Which: meh

But maybe I can get them to hire me to write: Something More Interesting for S2 if I send them enough unsolicited screenplays

@andi My preferred method of payment is:

Brown satchels filled with simoleons with a dollar sign on them

@bgcarlisle

@taweret Would watch

@taweret @bgcarlisle except he's hilariously bad at it and seems not to understand any of the actual tropes of noir, just like in the original tng dixon hill episodes

@taweret @bgcarlisle

Well, they shoulda' just given Stewart a detective show and cut out the middleman! :P

@xenophora @bgcarlisle because then there couldn't be plots involving the cardassians or romulans

@taweret @bgcarlisle

True, but I dunno'... franchises (as others have sort of pointed out here) can create a lot of dead weight over time, resulting in fans and insiders squabbling all the time instead of actually enjoying The Thing.

@Aepasek "My dad always used to say, that soufflé is either going to rise, or it won't ..."

@bgcarlisle I like the Borg but come on pls give Picard a new existential crisis, him and Sisko are literally the only two characters across the whole damn franchise who are able to resolve existential crises in an interesting way.

@bgcarlisle Which when you're a sci fi series IS REALLY PRETTY GODDAMN *SAD*

@andi Right? It's not that there's a dearth of material to work with either

This guy had a complicated life, and people are smart

They will remember some obscure thing and let you grow in that direction if you give them a chance

@andi @bgcarlisle queue the existential crisis they only can solve *together*

(there's slash about that isn't there?)

@andi @bgcarlisle please?

@tethre @bgcarlisle Sorry slow delay I was preoccupied sorry wait brb again

@tethre @bgcarlisle

Sorry that was a masturbation joke
