Counterpoint: Vader was not a potted plant.
He's got SOOO many plates spinning! He's very busy being the driver of the entire plot of a great big saga. There's a lot on his mind.
What have you done today, Deanna? Eating a fudge sundae doesn't count.
To step out of the bit for a moment, when people criticize Troi, they're really criticizing the writing. This character is there to look good and rarely gets anything meaningful to do, and when she does, it's almost always redundant or superfluous to the situation. Marina Sirtis deserved so much better.

"Look! I have one job on this lousy ship, it's stupid, but I'm gonna do it! Okay?"
Sometimes I wonder if Galaxy Quest didn't understand Trek better than some actual Trek shows?
It did.
As did The Orville.
Agreed. I started to bring that up, too, but my comment was turning into an essay, so I decided to reduce it all to a pithy two words.
Agreed. For a show that started out as just a parody, it pretty quickly developed into a spiritual spin-off.
I never considered it a parody as much as an homage with more humor. And yes, it got better when they toned the humor down.
It did though I lost my way with it, the new season just had some poor choices for me, probably due to Seth thinking with his penis instead of his head.
I liked it overall. Better than the first season, certainly.
I am meaning New Horizons, series 3 I think. Season 2 was better than 1 but they still insist on the love stories a lot of the time which is fine but it seemed each week someone was falling in love.
