    I love that video of her at whatever convention Q&A panel with LeVar, Gates, Michael, Sir Patrick, and Denise, and she is just completely piss drunk and going the fuck off for like 45 minutes about how women in Hollywood are underpaid while the leading men have "more money than God" (while staring directly at Patrick Stewart), while the rest of the panel look away sheepishly because Marina can't "just be normal" for one meet-and-greet. It was like if a train derailment could be beautiful and poignant. I'm a little surprised that she still got the Picard gig after that unbridled display of divorced aunt energy.

    I guess what I'm saying is that I stan a Betazoid slay kween.

      Hates McFadden was also probably the most technically proficient person in the cast. She did the choreography in a little known musical called fucking LABYRINTH! She choreographed David Bowie and Muppets. She should have been directing episodes

          She didn't write the episode and it's very well directed in spite of that. She made some really interesting camera and lighting choices thst helped it be better than the script deserved. She didn't get to pick what episode she directed, she was put in the rotation and this is what she landed on, thars how TV directing worked back then when they had 3 episodes in production at a time.

      Her and Frakes are good friends IRL and he's got some pull. He directed a few Picard episodes.
