I'm still salty about them killing off Jadzia.
Yep. It sucks. Hemmer is a fantastic character and the actor does an outstanding job.
Yea as much as I like Pelia, Hemmer seemed to round out the crew quite well. With Pelia, the mix leans a bit more "silly/childish", but with Hemmer it was nicely balanced.
Yeah, same. He was easily my favorite character on the show, what a bad decision that was.
But at least we got more Kirk, right?! Right guys?
Yea ...
I really liked the first two episodes (alternative timeline episodes) with Kirk. But more Kirk, that isn't sporadic or kinda in the background, is essentially a distraction from the SNW crew IMO.
Something I can't unsee with Kirk being prominent in SNW is the Riker/Troi appearance in the last episode of Enterprise ... this sort of fan-servicy cameo that kinda makes sense but in reality is an invasion of a series by the bigger starts of another series. That scene in the last Kirk episode where it paused on Uhura, Spock and Kirk sitting around a table together for the first time, while wonderful, really felt like an insult to SNW, not to mention that it didn't actually contribute anything to their relationships/characters in TOS.
I really like your comparison to Tasha Yar. Hemmer was easily one of my favorite characters. At least his death was in service to the crew, whereas Tasha's was senseless.
