Are you saying Winn didn't have character arc?

She had the biggest arc in startrek and it was masterfully acted...

From disliked to loathed is still growth.

[-] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago

Yeah, but there was that little moment in between where you almost felt sorry for her, before the ultimate "nah, she is still piece of shit..."

Same with Dukat. They really hit it out of the park in DS9 with characters in general.

Except Jadzia Dax, they did her so dirty.

The entire situation around her death was nasty, not just dirty. But we got Ezri, and I really liked her.

Not once did in all the times I've re watched that show have i had so much an amount of sorry for winn.

Ds9 IS my favorite Trek for what it's worth

its more of " I hated her less for a tiny moment".

I have nothing against her actress. She played wonderfully. I really loved to hate her character. This overzealous and overtly jealous priest.

When Louise Fletcher, who played Kai Winn, won the Oscar for the equally-horrific and hateable Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, she started her acceptance speech like this:

Well, it looks like you all hated me so much that you've given me this award for it, and I'm loving every minute of it. And all I can say is I've loved being hated by you.

Clearly she enjoyed playing evil people and is very good at it. And, like most actors who get regularly cast as evil, she's apparently a sweetheart in real life.

I don't know, Winn stresses me out. I always think DS9 is my favorite until I remember how much I hate Winn, and how much anxiety she creates, and I hesitate. I don't like to hate her. I just wish she weren't there.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
