Well, in an established series, it's not like actors really get to choose the scripts and how their character behaves in them (barring they're also directing, etc). I'm not going to necessarily fault the actor for that cringey episode.

Theory and praxis are both important. Deviance from good praxis isnt a punishment its something we come together to recognize and eschew together.

The theory here is good, its execution needs work.

Literacy advocate LeVar Burton served as the official honorary chair for Banned Books Week will be fascinated to know that he's a holodeck product.

Now. What have you contributed apart from criticism?
