#like these ladies (slight exception of raffi depending on the scene but still not great) are getting love interest/punching bag & it’s hell
Text
the ‘raffi is so wild and impulsive and emotional and can’t handle her shit’ schtick has gotten real old tho can’t lie. like it was already stale when plcard told her she was being ‘too emotional’ literal seconds after elnor died (um hello sir have you ever heard of grief? you might not participate but let a bitch breathe! thank you!) but having worf (who im actually liking so far) pull the same ‘she’s irrational, violent etc’ thing is just like. eye roll. obviously the writing isn’t doing my girl any favours by cheaply and gleefully playing into it with cliches left and right but my goodness can they come up with something else!
#paused my s1 rewatch bc the interrogation scene gave me s2 war flashbacks#at least raffi gave jl a firm dressing down that was nice#did want her to hit big worf with a ‘who do you think you are’ tho#like he was making some points but also who tf was he talking to lol#idk i hate how they continuously flatten her and then stick her with a partner whose job it is to ‘reign her in’#it’s like they think if they write her in her full capacity her partner will wilt and to that i say Not Her Problem!#she can be competent and still get into shenanigans! it don’t gotta be one or the other#she’s a star idk what they want from her lol#as always the writing in the first season was meh but seemed like it could blossom with clear direction#but after that#s2&3 said oh you wanted some introspection? some nuance? some complexity? fuck you! you’ll get nostalgia bombed and you’ll like it!#it’s like tropes cliches and flat characters abound#especially the women#like fuck a bechdel test this is straight up early 2000’s misogynistic patronization#like these ladies (slight exception of raffi depending on the scene but still not great) are getting love interest/punching bag & it’s hell#moreso because it’s obvious the show thinks it’s actually saying something new and interesting#and not just sticking familiar faces into unbearably bland and done scenarios#anyway it is what it is (and what it is is hell lmao)#.rfi#raffi musiker
