  • Technically he’s a Spock stand in: hyper logical but not quite getting humanity.

    This characteristic… In fact lots of characteristics get shared and mix and matched across DS9, TNG, and Voyager.

    In Voyager Seven of Nine and The Doctor are the “not quite understanding humanity” characters. In DS9, it’s Odo.

    Ideally newer Trek would do this too, but it might also want to have:

    A quirky or modded engineer: LaForge, O’Brien, Scotty, Be’lana.

    A superior strength character: Spock, Data, Odo, Worf, Seven of Nine, Tuvok.

    …and maybe a couple of psychic characters, Spock, Kes, Tuvok, Seven of Nine, Benjamin.

    You’ll probably also need some mentally brilliant characters, a Klingon, and someone who doesn’t fit in due to a negative background and is jaded about it.

    …a brilliant doctor helps too.

    These characteristics are needed so you can write certain storyline types and stand alone episodes.

    Why be a dick about it when you can just ignore them. Seems like they’re just trying to communicate in a way that’s generally experienced as nice.

    Like I get it, it’s easy to get annoyed at people trying to “make” you participate in an imaginary and kinda lame social behaviour… But like, being a dick on purpose probably does you more damage than them

    No one likes someone whose rude for the sake of being rude, or an edgelord, even being a contrarian just for the sake of it isn’t the greatest characteristic.

    Better to find a stable calm attitude that doesn’t require that… And if it’s a way to blow off steam, better to find ways that are more in your own domain of control, rather than having it controlled by an external trigger.

    Something to give thought to next time your driving jeep anyways.
