Good Viewing: "The Perfect Mate"
Tonight I turned on the TV just in time to catch one of my favorite episodes of ST:TNG. It's called "The Perfect Mate" and it's the one where Picard falls in love with a empathic metamorph on her way to an arranged marriage. It's a very romantic episode. (What can I say?!? I like the mushy stuff.)
Famke Janssen, who plays Kamala (the metamorph) is unreasonably gorgeous. But she also gives a very nuanced performance as Kamala. You can see her whole demeanor change depending on who is nearby. And the electricity between Kamala and Picard is palpable. Every time I watch the episode I want them to end up together. Yet, I know that given the players and the situation it could not go any other way. So, I am happy with it even though it is a bittersweet ending.
I call that "the Marcus effect," after Marcus in B5. But that's another story.
