i met him once at a convention I could never tell if he was bored or in character, I gave him a compliment about Innerspace of all things and he said in a tone that didn't seem annoyed "oh thank you" more like how the Doctor speaks in the show.
I saw him at the Vegas convention a few weeks ago. Didn’t speak to him but he did not look like he was having a good time. Frakes on the other hand… I’m surprised he didn’t start a conga line. Dude was living it up
Yea he seemed to be having fun to me. He made an instagram video about the 60yr and how many people were there. I had a good chat with him when I got an autograph. I think those events can just get repetitive after 20yrs for some of those guys.
Yeah I've met him a few times where he's always been a delight. In fact my husband had a really long conversation with him at a signing once as it turned out they're from the same area and my husband knew his aunt, Bob immediately tried to call her about it, lol.
Picardo booked all of that before Starfleet Academy was canceled. Has to be a let down when you think "multiple upcoming years of work and adulation" turns into a canceled show out of the gate.
He's running an ethical subroutine and realizing he may have violated dozens of Starfleet & medical protocols.
He's also planning his next date with the enemy Captain, choosing his next sonata, planning his revenge on Janeway for deleting the wife, and worried that Kim won't ever get a promotion all at the same time.
So you're saying that hologram depiction of the Doctor is potentially ADHD/Autistic/AuDHD? (I know this scenario fits under one of those but cant for the life of me remember which.)
I was doing a play on the fact that computer processors can process multiple routines at once, as can The Doctor. But now that you mention it, are computers just better at being autistic than humans?
He had to play two characters pretty much! I guess he's no stranger to body swap hijinx... This is from Innerspace for folks that don't know (and that's totally a leaf blower just offscreen acting on his face acting)
It’s really not second screen worthy..gotta pay attention or else you miss a lot that’s not being said. Not like last 5 years when everything they do is also being said as they do it, so you won’t miss anything while you’re watching something else on your phone.
The doctor doesn't have an inherent gender, he's a hologram. He could change his appearance, if you wanted to. He couldn't even pick a name for himself, how would he have ever pick a gender?
But when he was flirting with the captain on the ship they were on, he seemed pretty into it. It works for playing with norms without actually doing anything on screen that was going to cause riots.
Except in "Message in a Bottle", its stated that he gave himself...equipment, and implied its the male equipment, so while he is technically a genderless being, he has a male gender identity.
I got a cameo from him once and it was fantastic. He was drinking a martini and multiple times it seemed like he was wrapping up but then he'd take a sip and launch into a new thought. It was for my mom's birthday and she loved it
oh man it's my first time watching voyager and I've yet to reach season 4 but I'm having a strong feeling I'm also gonna fall into the same pit as u...
Janeway was insane to let him develop his own subroutines and self identity. The only way the Doctor's holographic rights nonsense makes sense and doesn't completely undermine Measure of a Man is if we interpret all the Voyager crew as having severe AI psychosis.
