I highly doubt that he was cast because of his role was Wesley Crusher on Star Trek, but I do think that it is a parody of the way that character was a brilliant wonder boy, especially early on Next Gen.įirst Robert Patrick's character Skokes is tricked into giving away a secret mission to an alien spy about an attack plot to turn the tide of a war that the Earth is losing. However, I do think that there was some of her that was attached to him and liked being human, even if it was just a residual effect from the original Bree.Īnd to the people who brought up Wil Wheaton, I thought his acting was fine. We'll never know what the alien Bree was thinking as we never see from her perspective.
I never thought of the alien Bree as being brave before until you put it like that. Hard to tell as its never explained in the episode. If so, was she tortured and captured? They could have used her DNA and memories. I definitely agree its possible there was a real Tristan Bree at one point who was like the one in Quality of Mercy, just as there was a real Skokes. It's been awhile since I've seen the episode so bear with me. Obviously this is mostly speculation from both of us, but its interesting to think about. Did she find it to her liking? Did she feel a sense of regret, however small, upon having to let it go.or upon having to let John go? Was she ever attached to him at all, or was it a complete and total act?Īrijanian: You bring up some fascinating points. She seemed agitated when they talked about losing your sense of species identity, and genuinely passionate when she discussed human emotion and physical sensation. Dreadful as her motives were from the human perspective, that still took some serious courage to enter the cell of a violent specimen of an alien race and put herself completely at his mercy in hopes of teasing out the right top-secret information.Ī few scenes even made me wonder if she was, in some small way, being genuinely influenced by the hormones and juices of that human flesh. (And, on a wryly dispassionate note, I can't help tipping my hat to the alien who played "Bree". It chills the bones to think about it, really. How long was she tortured and questioned, for them to peel all that detail about her past from her? What was it like, having her DNA and possibly even her flesh harvested for that Mata Hari skin-suit of theirs? Did she know how they planned to use what they took from her? Did she despair, in her final moments? Or is she still alive, somewhere, still being interrogated and harvested and used? What I found most fascinating and sad was that, considering the complexity and realism and human vulnerability of "Bree"'s life story and personality (almost certainly not concocted by an alien intelligence) and the way in which Skokes' likeness and story were later used by the aliens, there almost certainly was a real Bree Tristan at some point, and she was almost certainly very much like the "Bree" we saw.
