There was that one episode where she and Geordi get stuck in another plane of existence. I love the scene during their funeral where she shoots Riker in the head with a phaser and it passes right through him. :story:

I wish they had made them a couple!

That was a good episode, but them as a couple? Come on, Ro is way too much woman for what is essentially the 24th century poster incel.

I was thinking the same before, Ro has way too much personality and independence to be with someone like Riker, though when they had no memories it did work.

Riker slept with a trans. I think Ro would be extremely welcome after that.

I believe @White Devil thought you were saying Ro & Geordi.

Ro & Worf might have been more interesting - certainly better than him and Troi.

Star Trek Day is just another STD from CBS. Speaking of, they also produced this:

Sorry for not cropping it, all the negative space is in the original and I am lazy.

Like before, Michael Burnhim and Jay Ell are prominent. (Subscribe to CBS All Access!) Not content with a white woman, a black woman, and a black man, they added Worf, Uhura, and that crazy woman who eats Sarus for increased representation and diversity. Worf looks like he really doesn't want to be involved in this. Archer is still missing. At least they gave us a little starship porn in this one. It looks like the Discovery is on fire, which is nice.

Mirror Georgiou?! JFC Kurtzman stop pushing for that shitty spin-off, no one wants to see that crap.

In the second season she wins a marathon. She also gets fatter.

How ironic is it that the generation of participation trophies always has to have the characters winning? It can't be that Tilly has to work hard just to finish the marathon (which is an accomplishment itself)?

That's what also pisses me off about Burnham. From everything we saw about Vulcans, it would be amazing for a human just to get a C average in one of their schools. But no, she has to do literally better than them in everything - even combat training when it's established Vulcans are much stronger than humans! Whomever she is fighting could just literally grab her and rag doll her around.

I took him as saying Ro and La Forge, not Ro and Riker. R&R prob could have worked, I think.

Aaah, my bad! Yes, Geordi would chicken out, I feel. Ro and Worf I can see, oddly enough. Although Ro was like Kira in that she was really tough on the outside but wanted someone who would let her be soft. Except Ro was actually likable (I hate Kira).

Maybe... Ro and Barkley??

The entire sequence made no sense. People on the internet (shills) have tried to fix the scene, saying that she was under the effects of the space mushroom. It's bullshit, she was the last during 99% of the race and she magically ran past the rest of the participants a few meters before the finish line.

Indeed and when Sarek adopted her, she was probably close to 10 years old, so there was no way to make her learn the vulcan way to the point of finishing at the top of her class.
I don't know why these [current year] Hollywood writers think that this kind of writing will make their OCs likable. Mary Sue Burnham is not just the best, they had to cripple Spock too, by making him dyslexic (like I said in a previous post, I think they meant "autistic" but no one tried to fix the script during the production of the second season). Even to the end of the second season, right before she abandons him for the post-Picard era, she tells Spock to not be alone, to make friends, to look for someone who has the least things in common (yeah, now the whole Spock/Kirk/McCoy trinity exists because of her). It's insulting, it's disgusting.

Why does CBS hate ENT so much? You had several STD characters on those posters, two of the most irrelevant TOS characters and JAY ELL (not even Picard), but you couldn't be bothered to give a bone to Archer or T'Pol (or even Hoshi, if you wanted a minority).

A lot of people suspect pregnancy.

She has been pregnant for 4 years though. By the time it gets out, it will have its own spin-off.

Cancelled. Too many white people.

Don't they still insist it's prime universe? The lore and aesthetic of the show are incomprehensible if that's the case but I'm pretty sure they're still telling audiences it's prime.

FYI, the concept of "Prime" and "Kelvin" in and of itself is non-canon. It was their way to attempting to make it "canon" without the legal hearsay to actually do it:

It's a fanfiction level excuse that too many people fell for.

I mean i guess part of it arises from the original series where like Kirk was said to be the youngest person to make captain. And they made them super special in other ways.

That is what bugged me in JarJar-Trek, that he went the other extreme and made the crew all comical fuckups that just happened to luck into their positions rather than earn them.

But what these idiot meatbags can't seem to figure out is that the show would throw the biggest challenges at these paragons of humanity.

It's one thing to be the best and stand in front of Q. But to win a freaking marathon?

And what made DS9 so great they don't realize that only one person on there was revealed to be a literal Mary Sue (Bashir) - otherwise the entire point of the series is that they were all so normal and unremarkable that they became amazing through the struggle of war.

This one moment by nog - who used to be ILLITERATE - hit me harder in feels.exe than anything I've ever seen from Discovery.

That boy WORKED for what he got, dammit.
 
I'll just pretend they put her in the retard Vulcan classes because she herself has autism, and fit right in. Spock put up with her talking down to him (about friendship and whatever) because his mother wanted him to learn to deal with other aliens. Even the morons. Then they disowned her.

From what I understand, Kira's character on DS9 was supposed to be Ro Laren but the actress, I can't remember her name and I'm too lazy to look it up right now because dinner, didn't want to commit to the series so they rewrote the role.
 
I like Ro a lot more than Kira, but goddamn Kira looks good in (and out of) uniform. That's not to say I dslike Kira, Ro just appeals more to me.

...and fatter in Season 3.

Yeah, there's no open statement but I think they let her get more obese just to make a point, even though Starfleet requires (or used to) people to be in shape for the job.
She's not the only exception, there's an extra in a wheelchair in several scenes:

Exactly. Nog is/was one of my favorite characters. I always have tears when I see that scene. He showed that he was Starfleet material.
