The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)

In today's review, I head back to the start, as I attempt a #positive review of the 2006 origins of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning #AndrewBryniarski #R.LeeErmey #JordanaBrewster #TaylorHandley #MattBomer #DioraBaird #LeeTergesen #TerrenceEvans

The age-old question of what makes these unspeakable people do unspeakable things is a lucrative quandary. Podcasts, Documentaries, and deep criminological studies all dedicated much thought to the discussion, Fiction also devotes a lot of thought to this, with origin stories aplenty attempting to shine lights on what made their captivating characters so bewitching. In 2006, a prequel film was…

I am too weary to make an in depth post about why I wish that Cyia Batten had been kept hold of by DS9 and Ziyal had been allowed a longer run. What I will say, is that I wish that Ziyal had remained the girl, grown up too fast by life in a labour camp, trying to regain her childhood and her relationship with her father. As Dukat becomes absent, however, she forms an attachment to Garak. That uneasy romance with the distinctly one sided feel, is replaced by something that starts out a bit ‘Matilda crushing on Leon’, but becomes more of a ‘father she never had’ relationship. Wracked with concern for Ziyal’s safety, Garak starts to give her some Obsidian Order training. The conflict now, is that Dukat feels he is losing his daughter and he knows he may not be able to match up to Garak as a father figure (for Ziyal in particular, anyway).

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)

So this is interesting, because it’s a prequel. It’s supposed to detail the events leading up to the events of the previous movie, and why Leatherface does what he does, and how the family came to be. It starts out with his birth, and it’s interesting to see that he was an abandoned baby with absolutely no relation to the family. Also interesting how the sheriff became the sheriff (hint: he murdered the real one and assumed his identity). This movie could have been done better. The story could have been more interesting. They linger on Leatherface’s early life for maybe 5 minutes. Interesting note: I saw this movie in theaters when I was just barely 14, at a theater that didn’t card kids, and it gave me my very first migraine - specifically the scene with the girlfriend hiding under the table her boyfriend is strapped to. It still makes me sick.

Rating: F. Matt Bomer looks completely unrecognizable.

So... Ziyal was played by three different people...

[ID: Wikipedia page that reads "Her given name, Ziyal, is a popular Cardassian name. She was played by Cyia Batten in "Indiscretion" and "Return to Grace", by Tracy Middendorf in the episode "For the Cause", and by Melanie Smith, over six episodes from season five's "In Purgatory Shadow" to season six's "Sacrifice of Angels". End ID]

The recasting of Ziyal is a thorny subject. I don’t know why Cyia Batten, who was the first actor to play Ziyal, did not continue to do so. I’ve heard that the second actor, Tracy Middendorf, had issues with the prosthetics (which, speaking as someone who’s cosplayed as Ziyal with latex prosthetics, I completely get), and that was why Melanie Smith was brought in to replace her. There are rumours that the first recasting was done because they wanted to push the Garak/Ziyal storyline, which is possible, but I can’t find anything to corroborate that.

But in-verse, why does Ziyal go from looking like she’s in her early to mid-teens to looking like she’s an adult, all in the course of about a year?

One thing leaps to mind: hormones.

Bajorans and Cardassians are two very different species, enough that it’s a wonder they can produce young. (I tend to just suspend my disbelief and say that through some very odd evolutionary coincidence, it’s possible.) A Cardassian-Bajoran hybrid will in all likelihood have some unique medical needs. Generally, hybrids tend to not be able to reproduce. At least in the case of Star Trek hybrids (I don’t know if it’s the case in real-life hybrids), it seems like they might struggle to reach sexual maturity – in Amok Time it’s stated that they expected that Spock would not go through pon farr. With that in mind, it would make sense if Ziyal basically hasn’t hit puberty yet. Once she’s rescued and taken back to Cardassia Prime, Dukat probably finds her the best hybrid-specialists. I would not put it past him to even bring said specialist with him when he leaves Cardassia – imagine a pissed-off doctor aboard the bird-of-prey who’s been made to leave all her research and patients and forced to follow Dukat of all people into exile.

When Ziyal is put on hormones, she would start going through puberty. Fairly rapidly, she will look much more adult than before. The fact that it doesn’t happen at once might be an indication that they hold off for a little while - she’s been without medical attention in some very harsh conditions for six years, after all. Nonetheless, I can see Cardassian doctors thinking that kickstarting puberty is important. They might in fact feel it is particularly important that her puberty is Cardassian rather than Bajoran. Attempts to make Cardassian-Bajoran hybrids look more Cardassian is a thing (as attested in Enigma Tales). Although the Project Enigma treatments seem to have been done on prepubescent children, puberty might also play a role. In A Stitch in Time, it is established that the facial ridges become more pronounced after puberty. That doesn’t really seem to have been something that happened with Ziyal, but it might still have been something they hoped for.

Battle of Star Trek - Batch#8 Heats (featuring Picard, Tilly, Kim & Kira!)

The Battle of Star Trek continues, but the end is nigh, as we enter our final batch of characters for you to whittle down to your favourite.

We started with 128 characters, and here we have the last batch of 16. Head over to twitter, add procrastinalien and get voting!

DEANNA TROI

Half Human, half betazoid, Deanna is an empath - meaning she can sense emotions in others. She was Picard's trusted counsellor on the USS Enterprise-D (and E), and eventually married his first officer Will Riker. Throughout seven seasons of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, four movies, and some guest spots on VOYAGER and ENTERPRISE, Troi was played by Marina Sirtis.

TORAL ZIYAL

Ziyal spent much of her life as a slave, neglected by her father Dukat due to being half-Cardassian but also half-Bajoran... something his people would never have accepted. She ended up on DEEP SPACE NINE, where she was taken under the wing of Kira Nerys and started developing a romantic relationship with Garak until she was killed by Damar. An act which sent her father a little crazy. A supporting role, Ziyal was played by a number of actors - Cyia Batten, Tracy Middendorf, but most notably Melanie Smith.

DATA

Lt. Commander Data was the first android in Starfleet, and served aboard the USS Enterprise D & E, under Picard, where he spent much of his time studying, and endeavouring to become a part of, humanity. He built up great friendships, in particular with Geordi La Forge. He was an asset to Starfleet, until his sacrifice in STAR TREK: NEMESIS. Data was portrayed by Brent Spiner throughout seven years of THE NEXT GENERATION and four movies.

LORE

Lore was, essentially, Data's evil twin. Unlike Data, he was equipped with an emotion chip from the beginning, but sadly his personality wasn't as promising. He did may evil acts throughout a number of guest spots, particularly when he took control of a dysfunctional faction of the Borg, and tortured Geordi in the process - or worse, got Data (mind controlled) to for him. Like Data, Lore was played by Brent Spiner.

JEAN-LUC PICARD

Arguably the best commanding officer in STAR TREK. Some might argue (and there are certainly arguments for the likes of Kirk or Janeway etc) but Picard - as played by Shakespearean actor Patrick Stewart - is easily the most commanding. At first he was uptight and offish, but surrounded by a warm crew, Picard softened over the years... especially after he was assimilated by the Borg as Locutus. Stewart played Picard for seven seasons of THE NEXT GENERATION, four movies, and a guest spot in the pilot of DEEP SPACE NINE.

HIKARU SULU

The very first time we met Sulu, he was in the science division, but for the rest of his time in THE ORIGINAL SERIES (and THE ANIMATED SERIES), we was the ship's helmsman. He remained at the helm through three seasons of the live action series, two seasons of the animated, and five movies, until he was finally given his own command. Captain Sulu appeared in charge of the USS Excelsior in STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY and again for a guest spot on VOYAGER. He was played by George Takei in all of that, with John Cho playing the character for the Kelvin timeline appearances since 2009.

KURN

A proud Klingon, Kurn was Worf's brother, and looked down on his decision to join Starfleet. The brothers attempted to turn the dishonoured name of their father into something good again... but when Worf went against Kurn (now a Klingon councillor) over the a Klingon invasion of Cardassia, Kurn had his mind wiped so he would feel Worf's fall from grace. Tony Todd played Kurn in both THE NEXT GENERATION and DEEP SPACE NINE.

CHARLES 'TRIP' TUCKER III

'Trip' was the chief engineer onboard the NX Enterprise. He was a good friend of the commanding officer, Archer, and despite his distrust of the Vulcans, he not only became good friends, but romantically involved with the first officer, T'Pol. The three would often eat dinner together. Connor Trinneer played Trip throughout the four seasons of ENTERPRISE.

KIRA NERYS

At the start of DEEP SPACE NINE, Kira resented Stafleet's position on the station. She'd been a rebel, freedom fighter against the Cardassian occupation of her homeworld, Bajor and felt Starfleet was another oppressing force. She lightened up though and over the years Kira came to trust and value Sisko and the other Starfleet officers. Kira was played by Nana Visitor over the course of all seven seasons of DS9.

HARRY KIM

When the USS Voyager was flung across to the Delta quadrant, young naïve Harry Kim stepped up. He was the Operations officer on board and became a valued member of Janeway's crew. He formed a strong friendship with Tom Paris, the two often hanging out in the holodeck. Harry was played by Garrett Wang for all seven seasons of VOYAGER.

WESLEY CRUSHER

Some people found the Wesley character annoyed, but come on, I dare you not to feel a little bit proud when he first walks on the bridge in his Starfleet uniform. Wesley, son of Dr Crusher, was a child genius, and applied (but missed) his chance at starting Starfleet courses, so Picard gave him duties on the USS Enterprise. Wil Wheaton played Wesley for a full three seasons of THE NEXT GENERATION, and left part way through the fourth. He made guest appearances in the seasons that followed, including a cameo in STAR TREK: NEMESIS.

JANICE RAND

Grace Lee Whitney played Kirk's yeoman. Despite appearing in a lot of the promotional images for STAR TREK, Janice Rand only appeared in the first bunch of episodes. She did appear in cameos across the movies though, last seen on the USS Excelsior under Captain Sulu, in VOYAGER.

LT. KYLE

Lt. Kyle was one of those rare things in THE ORIGINAL SERIES... A red shirt that didn't get killed off. He was played by John Winston across the series as well as an appearance in STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN.

SYLVIA TILLY

Tilly could be described as the 'heart' of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY. A young and hopeful cadet, Tilly is also determined. She found herself bunking with known mutineer Michael Burnham, but whilst nervous, became her friend - and after proving herself to the rest of the crew, was promoted to ensign, and put on the command track. Mary Wiseman played Tilly during the first season, and will return for the second.

ALYSSA OGAWA

Every good doctor needs good nurses, and Dr Crusher had Nurse Ogawa. Whilst only a supporting character, we got a few nice moments for Alyssa, including an episode (THE LOWER DECKS) which saw a few ensigns looking for promotion and her starting a family. Patti Yasutake played Ogawa from the fourth season of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, and went onto the first two movies featuring the same cast.

PHILIPPA GEORGIOU

Michelle Yeoh was the first cast member to be announced for the newest of the Treks - STAR TREK: DISCOVERY. Captain Georgiou (commanding officer of the USS Shenzhou) was killed by the Klingons in only the second episode however, with only a hologram of her, reading a message to her first officer Michael Burnham, to follow. That was, of course, until the USS Discovery found itself in in the Mirror universe... and we met Emperor Georgiou. Burnham brought her back to our prime universe, and after pretending to be our Georgiou for a bit, she's disappeared into the shadows. I think we all expect an appearance from Yeoh in the second season - currently shooting now.

So there you are. No new names after this point, this is it. We already have champions from the previous seven batches, and now we need to find one from this batch. You've got three days to pick your favourites - get yourselves to twitter and get voting!
