->''"Astonishing that in seven years Harry Kim goes nowhere. Its like the character is stuck in stasis, always an eager young nobody who wants to grow up and advance his career but never quite making it up the next step of the ladder. Paris is promoted and demoted, hooks up with B’lanna and has a kid in the time that Harry Kim gets no development whatsoever. Take his first scene and his last scene in this series and he is exactly the same person doing exactly the same things."''

->''"There was nothing. No one knew anything about him... There were like two lines about Bashir in the original bible, and sort of six pages for every ''other'' character of back-fill, of who these characters were. There had to be a doctor on the show, because there's ''[[StrictlyFormula always]]'' a doctor on the show. And they were just sort of scratching their heads about who this doctor was going to be."''

->''"Jean was his favorite. He sensed her potential, even then. And he's always been partial to psychics. He'd never admit it, but he thinks we're a bit ... [[BewareTheSuperman above]]. Hank is a genius, and terribly good with people. Warren looked like a god. And Xavier picks ''you''? To ''lead''. Why? Because you had nothing else. The one time you had to defend your title, you lost it. To Storm. Potentially the most powerful team on earth and Xavier gave you the top position ... out of pity. Because he thought you'd wash out if you didn't get a little boost."''

->''"X-fans are divided on their opinion of the X-Men's field leader, Cyclops. Half think he's [[GoodIsBoring a boring killjoy]] whose real superpower is self-righteous repression. The rest liken him to ''{{ComicBook/Batman}}'' (minus the billionaire bank account & awesome spirit animal) because of [[TheSpock his strategic mind and extreme determination]]. The filmmakers are unwaveringly the former camp. So if you ever thought Cyclops was cool, the ''[[{{Film/XMen}} X-Men]]'' movies will try their damnedest to cure you of this delusion. In the first ''X-Men'', there's [[InformedAbility zero evidence that he deserves to lead the team or Jean's love]]. (There's a deleted scene where he commands Wolverine to wear one of his old leather uniforms, which [[FoeYay shifts the dynamics]] of the love triangle)."''

->''"A fitting counterpoint to Clark as a teenager, she should really have died at the end of season three, I still attest. After that, she and Lois were [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute essentially the same character]]. Lois became her '[[HollywoodHomely hotter]]' replacement, which I am still hacked off about.\\\
Unsure of what to do about that, the show tried numerous roles for her. Computer nerd. Girlfriend of every tertiary cast member ([[JimmyOlsen Jimmy]], Davis, eventually GreenArrow). In the end, she was just there as another piece on the board to no real end...She uh, does computers. And [[HazyFeelTurn helped kill people]]. And dated Green Arrow because he was the last guy in the room. Then left.\\\
That's not an arc."''\\

-> ''Everybody should have at least one ordinary friend, and Dan is as ordinary as they come. He is so ordinary that most people have to meet him six or seven times before they remember his name . . . One time for a computer project I scanned a whole bunch of student photos from the yearbook, then used a graphics program to morph them into a single face. What I got looked like a slightly fuzzy version of Dan Grant.''

->''At the heart of all of this is the idea of Martha, which is, of course, also at the heart of one of ''{{Doctor Who}}''’s great Problem Seasons... Martha, in most regards, seems the forgotten companion - the one that didn’t quite work. That’s not to say she doesn’t have her fans and admirers, nor that those fans are wrong. But they are swimming against the tide, and the show itself contributes to that tide.''
