Subject: Question of the Day: What would it take to make Mayweather more interesting?

I'm finding him the most cardboard of the characters so far. He and the Doc are my least favorite, though I think Mayweather has more potential than the Doc right now. So what needs to happen for Mayweather to stand out? The whole space-boomer thing could have been good if they'd *done* something with it. I was expecting him to display some agoraphobia--*that* would have been appropriate. *sigh* So help me out here! Somebody think of something quick!

In the same vein, what could be done to make the Doctor something other than a Neelix clone on Valium?

[> I am still trying to sort out who is who. So sue me -- I'm a lousy fan! LOL! I've got Archer, T'Pol, Trip, Hoshi, and the doctor (and why in the WORLD didn't they make up a name that had no "earthly" connotations? When I hear "Phlox", I think of a carpet of pretty flowers! LOL!)....anyway......Mayweather is the "Boomer" ...the young black guy who grew up on spaceships? Then what's the guy's name who has the English accent? I find *him* rather a cipher so far. I have heard rumors that they *might* make him gay. I think that would be just fine......but I seriously doubt that the STPTB (Star Trek Powers That Be) folks would "go there" --- where no science fiction show has gone before!!!!!!!!! LOL! But if they can have a pregnant male human....then why the heck not? LOL! -- MichelleB, 18:42:50 10/11/01 Thu

[> [> Malcolm, the weapons officer. The guy with the British accent. Travis Mayweather, is the young guy who grew up on spaceships and was talking about not feeling right in different gravity types. So yeah, you've pretty much got everyone down! -- Jen, 00:11:27 10/12/01 Fri

[> [> Given Malcolm's reaction to the Butterfly Lapdancers, I suspect the gay thing may be out (pun intended). Too bad. If handled well, it could be a refreshing twist for the show. I remember how great the episode of DS9 was where Jadzia met up with her old flame--in a woman's body. They handled that beautifully, kiss and all. -- Laura, 09:45:39 10/12/01 Fri
