Who is the worst actor you’re referring to in Home Soil?

Sorry, just noticed this post.

It was this guy:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Gotell

His acting in TNG didn’t fit, it was like early Ed Wood level bad. He probably was just an old school actor who had no context for sci fi, so he just hammed it the fuck up. If you watch his scenes he’s truly out of place, just terrible

Ah, good ol’ General Gogol, the KGB version of M. I’ll have to watch closer for shit acting from him if I ever watch that one again.

Pulaski was one of the worst characters on that show. Almost as bad as Wesley.

I don't remember the episode where Riker gets AIDS. :D
 
Pulaski had her qualities, if you could read between her lines.
 
we were just used to a doc we all wanted to bang, I mean crusher was hot already but had yet reached her final, bangable form

pulaski was hot back in the day though. her stupid old lady perm aged her though
 
Imagine rating a Wesley episode higher than a 6

It was particularly well-directed. Even still, it was sitting at a 6.5, until the very last scene — Wesley & Guinan, & some solid writing. I’m not too Klingon to admit it got me in the feelz

Guinan is a damn good character

Underused but when they use her she's great

Lunch lady hair does no one any favors
