I can 1000% see little!Lauren being obsessed with Deanna. That's adorable.
She had curly hair!!! These things were important! (See also: Mary Jo on Designing Women!)
I think it's fair to say that short-form television today is closer to miniseries of the '90s/'00s than the long-form television and can be analyzed and treated as such. It's impossible to compare an 8-episode season with a 25-episode season; they are not the same creature.
Absolutely. And like I always say, I like the best of both. I'm glad there are more really tightly-written shorter-season shows now! I just wish there were the 22-episode ones too!
I also still think it's an interesting choice (not sure where I land on it besides 'interesting') to have Riker and Deanna be exes from the start.
I don't love it--did I say that in this?--mostly because they don't take the time to actually explore it. I think they could have done it better.
