Game The Most Disliked Seventh Season Episode, 2025 Edition

[Qonundrum]

I don't think the characters were acting out of character. Amplified an aspect of a character? Sure, I can agree with that.

Take Sisko: we know he does have an obsessive streak in him. (Which most captains have had, honestly.) That trait is amplified here, but it's not out of character.

"Amplified"... perhaps. I might also include the descriptive word "surreal", if not phrase "fever dream" or "LSD trip" to describe the episode and characterizations. Never understood what's so great about this story, much less the characters in it. Is the holosuite that limited?

And the Vulcans? Vulcans have always had that arrogant, superiority streak about them. Solok just represents the Vulcan trait a bit more amplified.

By intent or by misaligned scripting that forgets they are emotionless? I still don't buy into Solok, who isn't as much amplified as he is caricaturized: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Flanderization (which pretty much says that a tv character originally given depth has superficial traits amplified and any depth removed. Characters become hollow pastiches of their original selves, sometimes with parody built-in as well. Not always deliberately so, but it still can happen.)

I guess this one sort of bothered me because Sisko conveniently forgot a lesson he should have known well: baseball should be fun.

Vulcan aren't all the same. Maybe Solok's an arrogant snot even by their standards.

And characters acting out of character. That baseball game episode only solidified the notion that the spinoff and franchise were running out of ideas.

Hey, I liked "Take Me Out to the Holosuite"! And I'm not particularly a baseball fan.
They had been doing heavy war story after heavy war story, it was time for something light.
