Topic	Eight Board-Eighters Rank Star Trek Characters
Anagram 01/19/20 6:14:46 PM #109:	36. Belanna Torres You cant just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry! Torres is the anti-Worf. Writeup: Complete. Okay, but seriously, thats a pretty good idea for a character. What if Worf, but she wants to embrace her human side, and her Klingon urges keep overcoming her? That could be top 20-worthy if done right. But here we are at 39, so you can guess how well it was done. For all the show tells us that Torres is a master engineer, I never once got the impression that she was anything above competent, same with Trip. It doesnt help her case that her main character trait is that shes always angry and beats up people who disappoint her, which is everyone lower in rank than her. I think the writers eventually realized they had nothing for her to do, which is why she has that epic romance with Tom Paris. And hey, of every romance on the show, its by far the most plausible and well-written. Janeway has sex with a hologram, then deletes its hologram wife. Seven of Nine surprise bones Chakotay halfway through the final episode (by the way, I checked, hes 21 years older than her). Harry Kim is turned into an alien so space succubi can the life out of his balls and turn him into a corpse. Neelix has sex with a two-year-old, and Kes has sex with a garbage collector. Lets not even talk about the Doctor. Only Tuvok manages to have a normal relationship, and thats just because hes already married. Im not even really making a joke here. Because you know from the start that the distance Voyager has traveled doesnt matter since its only way home is to find a god alien or a piece of super technology, any progress is irrelevant. That means the only possible progression in the series is character stuff, and Torres actually does have a nice little arc of coming to terms with her Klingon heritage, falling in love, and having a daughter. That and Seven of Nine discovering her humanity are the closest things Voyager has to an ongoing plot. I love how the actress got pregnant in season 6, so they went to great lengths to hide her pregnancy by shooting around it, etc. Then in season 7, when she wasnt pregnant, they declared the character was pregnant, and she had to shoot all of her scenes with a fake pregnant belly. How incredibly dumb. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig. Started: July 6, 2005 <cite>Anagram posted [p:933189775] in Eight Boar... [t:78315622]...</cite> <quote>36.
