beccaelizabethLet me get this straight: Someone paid money - a lot of money, a whole TV episode of money - to make that?
*shudders*
It was... it was songfic. *Bad*, terrible, appalling songfic. With about a drabble worth of plot stretched out over an entire episode.
I mean as a B plot with something interesting and action-y in the main strand it could have been... okay, embarrassing and wrong, but... they made an *entire episode* of Odo playing the piano and some guy singing?
*headdesk*
And the worst part is putting Odo and Kira's first date and first kiss into this context makes it so utterly seperate and different from what they usually do that it makes it all entirely implausible. I mean how can one believe she's actually in love with him if it takes him changing so much for her to notice? Bloody stupid.
This episode has no redeeming features. Not one.
Eeeew.
There's probably an 'it could be worse' lurking in the isms section, but that's so not the point. And it's creepy in the feminism box anyway, in the same way that holosuite women always are, cause it's treating apparently-female apparently-persons as a means to an end, as things. In an episode where one of those holosuite people is played like an actual character. Albeit a weirdly one track mind one. (The fanfic yenta finds a new form. Ick.)
This episode doesn't piss me off, it just leaves me entirely baffled as to how this ever got made.
