Winn always made my skin crawl!
Who’s the first?
No, not who’s on first. I know Who is. I’m asking who the first image is of 😅
Ensign Charly Burke from the show The Orville.
Come on, Pulaski wasn’t that bad. She even had a decent character arc to become likeable. Winn though… yeah we hate her.
She was one of the only characters to have true growth. I loved her. Plus, Diana Muldaur is awesome. Still with us at 86!
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.
The Elders tell me Pulaski was supposed to be “unlikable” but in a gruff, McCoy dammit-i’m-a-doctor kind of way.
But the fact that that wasn’t possible to do (and wouldn’t have worked if it was) apparently didn’t stop them from trying.
The sophomore slump hits everybody.
She even had a decent character arc to become likeable.
Her whole arc was supposed to explore the idea of a kind-of rational and legitimate hatred, then see where it led.

Time and again, her bigotry caused new injury to herself and to others. But then this was held in contrast to Ed Mercer’s persistent failed efforts to extend an olive branch to rival alien races who were unable to divest of their own bigotries.
That’s what made the latest season of Orville so fucking good.
spoiler
The whole season is about trying to build a coalition between the liberal Planetary Union and the fascist Chak’tal and ultra-conservative Moclan. But, in the end, their commitment to their own moral compass paves a way for an unexpected alliance with the Kaylon that yields far more fruit than any kind of strategic military compromise with the corrupt governments of the Chak’tal or Moclan.
It wasn’t just that she became likeable. Its that the guiding principles of the Planetary Union usher the crew towards a better galaxy, even when that path isn’t immediately clear from the outset.
While I like your analysis, the comment you’re responding to was referring to Pulaski’s arc, not Charlie’s.
Her too.
“Yes”
Arising from the ashes, Rey Skywalker joins the fray.
Seriously tho I have seen way more mainstream hate for Rey.
Not that Star Wars is scifi as much as space opera. Nor does it technically count as a TV series as much as a film series.
I think she’s the banner target for frustration with the Disney sequels. Almost like Jar Jar for people who didn’t like the prequels, although now that it’s been 20 years people don’t seem to hate Jar Jar as much.
Yeah. It’s worst for the most recent movie, because we’re always afraid the latest bad movie is the last one we will get.
For example, I probably don’t need to hate Pacific Rim 2, so much, and I might stop if we get some better sequels.
To this day I am still sad Kira wasn’t the one to do her in at the end.
Kai Box 'o Wine
HOLD MY
BEERKANARWait… holier-than-thou Kai Winn drinks beer!? TIL… and might need to rethink some life choices as a result. :-P
I recognize the bottom two, but not the top one. Those uniforms look like The Orville but I don’t recognize that character at all. But I also never watched S3 and it’s been since they aired (5 years?) that I watched the first two seasons of that show.
Maybe I’m alone on this, but I found a lot of the story lines with Neelix from Voyager to be hard to watch.
Why is Charly Burke hated? Because she replaced Alara?
Because she had untreated PTSD and hated the robots who killed her best friend/lover/whatever.
And then she was rude to a robot belonging to the same group as the ones who killed her best friend/lover/etc.
She’s pretty well written imo, of a traumatized character.
They were roommates
Me too!
But I understand why the writers had a hard time justifying Kira killing Keiko in cold blood.
