[startrekpotluck]

Hello! :) My submission is on the 11th, and I've been noticing whenever I get tagged in posts it always goes to my main blog, but I'm going to post it on my side blog ( @lesbospirk ). I don't care about correcting stuff thats already posted, I just want the title card and links to be correct so people can find me. Thank you so much for running this btw! I had a lot of fun with my submission.

Thanks so much for your message, it has finally cleared something up that has been a bit of an itch in my brain for a few days now 😅

After we got blog handles confused earlier in the week, I went through our sign-ups to make sure it wouldn't happen again, and we do have @lesbospirk in our spreadsheet and on the graphics. But looking at it, I was sure I'd seen/written @evieaves several times already, but I couldn't figure it out. And now I know! 🙈

So, yes, we have your sideblog down for all upcoming posts. And we also mixed it up in previous posts. Sorry about that 😅 And seriously, thanks for writing in to make sure! We don't always catch these mix-ups in time, so we really appreciate it you letting us know 🩵

And we're so glad you've been enjoying the fest so far! We're very excited to see what you've cooked up for us 🤩 🖖✨

Friends! Romans! Mutuals!

I’ve been away from tumblr dot com for a while, on account of my brain catastrophically crashing like a very elderly computer.

Now that I’m off work and hopefully beginning to recover (??) I’m back, ish, but I feel like I’ve missed out on a whole bunch of everything.

Please feel free to ignore this slightly odd request - but if there are any posts from the last few months you think I would like, and could add to my remedial reading list, then please tag me? Pet photos, art you made, art other people made, text posts, anything. I feel like I've missed out on a lot, but I don't have it in me to go back through everything 😴 and I figure this might be a good way to pass some sick leave time.

The thing I find most perplexing about the PICARD show — and I am going to say upfront here that I have not made any attempt to investigate any of the behind-the-scenes stuff or even paid any particular attention to the writing credits — is that judging by the end product, it really looks like there were significant differences between what was pitched, what was originally written, and what actually ended up on the screen. In fact, it seems like there were at least two, possibly three big changes in direction along the way.

@procrastinatorproject remarked (and I'm going to quote rather than reblog the reblog, to avoid making an unreadably long chain):

They spend a lot of time in the early episodes deconstructing Picard, the Great Captain. They make it abundantly clear that his typical MO of Giving A Great Speech and centering himself and his morality and his worth and self-sacrifice isn't a sustainable, useful way to solve problems. (See: threatening to resign in protest, tearing down the "No Humans" sign on Vashti and acting like he knows how to combat entranched racial divisions in a place he hasn't been to in almost 20 years, etc.) This is made clear repeatedly and I thought it was a really interesting and brave deconstruction of this Great Captain Narrative that we got especially in TNG (with the occasional nuance, yes, but still this at its core). And then they drop the ball on that when in the final episode, Picard saves the day by Making A Great Speech and cerntering himself by offering to sacrifice his life.

I'll go a step further than this: The strong impression I got from the first seven or eight episodes of PICARD S1 is that the first season was likely intended as a miniseries, and that it was originally pitched not simply as a deconstruction of the character, but as "The Death of Jean-Luc Picard." PICARD-era Picard is not a particularly young man even for the 24th century (he's 94 years old), and we're told early on that he's dying of a rare degenerative disease for which there is no cure. His choices have had serious consequences: He's burned bridges with most of his friends and colleagues, his last Grand Gesture was a disaster that cost him the last of his credibility with Starfleet (and destroyed Raffi's career, something the show never really has Picard even acknowledge), and he's isolated himself in bitter disillusionment. His former shipmates are no longer around to help him, and the people he recruits are not nearly so tolerant of his bullshit. The entire premise of the show suggests that this is Picard's last chance and his last ride — and I think probably the final curtain for the TNG cast as well. (The fact that the first season is set in the last year of the 24th century also seems significant in this respect.)

I also suspect that this was what lured Patrick Stewart back to the role; I think they probably told him, "Look, this is going to be Picard's King Lear — it's not going to be just another sci-fi action potboiler, it'll be a big Shakespearean tragedy that will really let you go out with some gravitas." (What actor would say no to that?)

The problem, of course, is that while this is interesting, it makes for a pretty bitter pill for the audience. I've never particularly liked TNG, and my emotional attachment to the characters is limited, but I can't see that this is what most fans would have hoped to see for Picard: He's all alone, sulking on his family estate with his Romulan servants (another pseudo-Shakespearean gesture, I thought, though incongruous for STAR TREK's alleged post-scarcity socialist utopia); Beverly is ominously MIA; he hasn't talked to Will and Deanna in so long he doesn't know they have a 12-year-old daughter (and when he finally goes to see them in Ep. 7, by far the best of the series, Deanna very justifiably reads him for filth); and his relationship with Geordi and Worf is apparently cordial but distant. He's a sour, unhappy old man whom Starfleet Command sees as a self-righteous crank who's outlived any usefulness or relevance. Even without getting into the other ways the story takes Picard apart, that's pretty grim, and when he sets out with the other new characters on what's clearly suggested as his final quest, it's plain that he's probably not going home again.

The way the final episodes of S1 try to dial this back is SO jarring and so unsatisfying that it really doesn't seem like it was the way it was intended to end at all. What it feels like is like someone higher up at CBS came in after the show was already well along in production and said, "Wait, what are you doing? You can't kill off Picard! How are we supposed to have a Season 2? And where are all the other iconic STAR TREK characters?" There's every indication that the finale was hastily rewritten very late in the game, after much of the shooting was either underway or already completed.

So, rather than bringing the tragedy to an organic conclusion, we get an incredibly stupid cop-out finale that's still a downer without even offering a satisfying resolution. It's hard to say which part is more frustrating: Picard's big death scene surrounded by people who barely know him (and who up to that point didn't even like him that much); the incongruous arrival of the Starfleet "cavalry," riding to the rescue in a way we were previously shown (repeatedly!) wasn't going to happen; immediately undoing Picard's death in a very uneasy way (making him a synth, something the rest of the series then has to tiptoe around); or attempting to contrive an emotional climax with Data arguing for his right to die — despite the fact that the character had in fact been dead for 20 years. While we're keeping score, I was also irritated by the way the finale vilified the Romulans; the Romulans' response to the situation was a little heavy-handed, but the thing they were afraid of was very real, and the only reason it was averted was that the synths at least temporarily decided to table the impending "intergalactic robot genocide" they were preparing to kick off.

How the season — and, perhaps, the show — was originally supposed to end, or whether whatever was originally planned would have been any better, I don't claim to know, but I really suspect it was supposed to be different. (To @procrastinatorproject's other point, I don't know that the critiques the earlier episodes made of Starfleet and the Federation necessarily had any resolution or direction in mind; if PICARD was really intended to bring down the curtain on the TNG era, a lot of it might well have been left unresolved with the expectation that subsequent projects were going to move on to later eras, like the "post-Burn" future of DISCOVERY, where what happened with the late 24th century Federation could either be shrugged off as no longer relevant or used to set up other plot developments, as seemed most useful.)

I actually liked S2 much better overall: The stuff with Picard's mother is extremely clunky and never lands emotionally, the attempt to suggest a Picard-Laris romance is just uncomfortable (poor Orla Brady!), and there are aspects of the plot that aren't very satisfying, but there's also a lot that's fun. It has some nice moments for Jeri Ryan ("I am NOT the worst driver here!"), the scenes with Seven and Raffi are great, Agnes' ill-fated hookup with the Borg Queen actually breaks some new ground with STAR TREK's dullest villains (which S3 then walked back), tying up Picard's friendship with Guinan was nice, and I didn't even mind the unexpected Wesley Crusher cameo. Its biggest problems are that it doesn't really fit: The tonal shifts from S1 are jarring; it doesn't bother to resolve any of the critiques or dangling story threads from the first season; and for all its attempts to tie in more STAR TREK lore, the obvious question, from viewers as well as probably CBS, remains, "Why is Picard still hanging around with these (mostly) new characters he barely knows rather than the other beloved TNG characters?"

So, S3 changes course again, finally doing the "getting the gang back together" nostalgia plot that the network and a lot of fans expected in the first place. That by itself might have been fine, but it has to go out of its way to reverse a lot of the major developments of the first two seasons (resurrecting Data to kill him off and then having to contrive a way to resurrect him again really beggars the word "clumsy"), and the plot rambles and wanders in the middle in incoherent ways that left me unsure if it's just badly written or there was ANOTHER word-from-on-high change in direction during production. The hilariously stupid Big Rock Finish isn't even much of a finale, since they obviously decided they didn't want to completely close the door on Picard and company after all.

There's evidence of this kind of thing in the other shows as well. LOWER DECKS, for instance, sets up several new characters at the end of S2, but then basically abandons all of its ongoing character threads for the entirety of the very weak S3, which is full of pointless guest appearances and cameos that don't amount to anything even on a sitcom level, before trying to pick up the abandoned story threads in S4. DISCOVERY, of course, then does its big and rather jarring era shift after setting up STRANGE NEW WORLDS as a spinoff. The idea of establishing a new era chronologically later than TNG makes sense, and would have been a natural step if PICARD had really been the finale of the TNG era, but going from "It's a TOS prequel!" to "It's set 900 years after TNG!" in midstream is weird, and I have to wonder if that's what they originally intended.

Obviously, one doesn't have to strain too hard to see why CBS has decided that it's safer to lean on nostalgia, but the disjointed progression of it makes me think that there were more creatively ambitious (not to say necessarily better) plans that have repeatedly changed, and how each of these shows has wrapped up seems to be materially different from how they began, in ways that are often very odd as well as unsatisfying.

@lemissingmask's truly inspired drawing has given me so much joy over the years, and it was front of my mind when I suggested this little celebration.

Thank you so much for letting me reblog this to round out the week on a perfect note.

Space, as Agnes has found out pretty early on during her stay on La Sierena, was mostly empty. Which was not really surprising considering it was called space. And an emotion that could always catch someone offguard when contemplating a little bit too much about it in a philosophical and not purely scientifical way, was loneliness. And while she preferred to keep her mind busy by thinking and rambling about the actual facts, she found out that Cristóbal Rios sometimes preferred to talk about the philosophical ankle. Which was also not all that surprising considering the kind of books she would catch him reading from time to time.

Con una señorita que sepa bailar.

Agnes Jurati was a bit of an awkward dancer and as much as Rios had reassured her that he would teach her, it had been quite a while since he had last danced with anyone. They had quickly found out that while both of them failed at the more traditionally european dances, the Cueca was just fine with them . After a couple of tries that is.

Que sepa coser Que sepa planchar

He reminded her of a pirate but not one of those historically accurate pirates but the ones as shown in books she may or may not have read at one time in her life. Rogueishly handsome, a thief unbound by the duties that come with being tied to organizations  like Starfleet.

Rios thought she was cute with the way she rambled on about whatever came to her mind during their conversations , he thought she was pretty every time she smiled and he knew she smart.

Both had thought that the other was unattainable and that their shared kisses and nights were never meant to last.

Neither of them could believe their luck that it did.  

Que sepa abrir la puerta Para ir a jugar.

It was… nice to lay besides someone familiar every night. To lay beside someone you could trust and who you knew doesn’t judge you for the things you did and did not do. Who did not ask when you woke up in the middle of the night with the name of someone long since dead on your lips. Rios in particular always started to sing the to her now all to familiar lullaby. Agnes  too had tried to help him with it when she was woken up by his nightmares. When she had done it the first time however, it had earned her a laugh. Apparently even though she had memorized the text perfectly her prononciation was horrible. She got better at it over the years though.

Arroz con leche Me quiero casar

Agnes was just happy that Rios never seemed to mind that he ended up marrying a woman who did not exactly fit the description of the woman in the song.

May I just add that Dahj's coat is awesome?

S1E01: Remembrance

Four years ago today, I saw the first episode of this new tv show which would become my new obsession and utterly change my life.

To celebrate, I thought we could take some time this week to remember some of the things we enjoyed about this episode, or that stood out to us.

I'll get us started with one of the things I truly loved about Ep 1x01:

Dahj! Just... Dahj!

We only got her for one episode, and she was suffering for most of it, but I latched onto her character straight away and real hard.

I love that even with her very limited screen time, I still got the feeling she was a distinct character from Soji. Maybe a little looser, more flowing... (And yes, this perception is reinforced by the different hairstyles, which is another detail I adore!)

(Look at these two! You can tell who's who at a glance from the body language, even before you look at the hair!)

Her little student apartment in Boston with it's Tragic Abundance Of Vanilla deserves to have a whole bunch of fics set in it! And even though it's just a cover story, I love her excitement at getting into the Daystrom! Just imagine the thrill, angst, and chaos if she had gone there and ended up working with Agnes - and the two of them discovering the truth about her that way.

Also, I love that Dahj is immediately adopted by Picards entire household, from the Romulan housekeepers/bodyguards...

... to the Number One Goodest Boy.

(No wonder the mom AI told Soji that Dahj was thinking about getting a puppy. It may have been a lie in the moment but clearly fit Dahj's character well enough to be believable.)

And of course there's so, so much more to love about her. Dahj's journey of self-dscovery, however chaotic and short it ended up being, was a great jumping-off point for the series, and by the end of episode 1, I was hooked!

I still have so many fond feelings for Dahj and I really hope I'll find the time and brain space to write about her some time.

How about you? What are some things you remember fondly from this episode?

First Line Challenge

Big thanks to @northstarfan for tagging me in the first line challenge! ❤️

So, um, tiny detail, but I don’t know the rules of the first line challenge. Therefore, I’ll make my own rules to choose a story at random and share the first few lines:

The siren always seems to sound just before daybreak.

Maybe because that’s when particulates in the planet’s atmosphere coalesce. At least in autumn, and it’s been autumn for almost three weeks — five weeks to go — which means the piercing whine yanks Una out of sleep, bedsheets thrown aside, her feet landing on the wood-plank floor before her eyes even open.

“Go. I’m right behind you.” Seven is slower, ocular implant glitches worse when her rest is interrupted like this, human biology nourished by sleep but xB technology still hungry for a regeneration alcove.

Even after all these years.

That’s from The Melody of You (and Me), a T-rated Una Chin-Riley x Seven of Nine one-shot.

144 works and counting!

If you're looking for more information about the meaning of the "Star Trek: La Sirena"-tag and which works qualify, I've posted a write-up as my pinned post.

It's happening! We are creating a new fandom-tag on AO3!

Thank you to @moonxshape for breaking the seal and making us brave enough to go in and re-tag all our fics that fit the parameters (roughly: "Star Trek: Picard, if it was cancelled after season 1" 😋) with the additional fandom-tag "Star Trek: La Sirena".

And thank you to @regionalpancake for getting the re-tag ball rolling! 3 pages of fic in our made up fandom tag is nothing to scoff at! 😁

I really feel like the three seasons of PIC are so different and disconnected from each other, having all the fic for it in one indistinguishable fandom tag with no sign-posts can make it difficult to find what you're looking for. So here's one attempt at improved signage!

(Also: apologies to the tag wranglers who have to deal with our shenanigans. I hope they don't shut this down, and I'd honestly be surprised if this tag ever got canonized. But it's still worth it, if only to make life easier for the handful of us who are desperate for more "PIC but make it season 1" content)
