Brig

edit

The article links the word brig to the type of sailing vessel. In the article it is used instead as the naval term for a jail. Perhaps this would be a better link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_prison 71.142.233.175 (talk) 06:16, 9 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Fixed. Feel free to make your own revisions in the future. :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.29.200 (talk) 05:20, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Stereotypes

edit

Reviews note that Kivas Fajo is an obsessive collector, like a child, or an obsessive fan.[1] But in addition to that surface reading there are some reviews that find another subtext, such as a review I found that compared Kivas Fajo to Shylock saying he was anti-Semitic stereotype, as bad as Watto.[2] Other reviews also viewed the character as a jewish stereotype reinforcing anti-semitic storytelling tropes,[3][4][5], and even though they are blogs that probably cannot be used as sources in the article I mention them anyway to show there are others who have interpreted the episode this way. (There is a whole book about Jewish Themes in Star Trek[6], but from what Google Books allows me to preview Kivas Fajo does not seem to get a mention.)

The book "Exploring Picard's Galaxy: Essays on Star Trek: The Next Generation" [7] has different interpretation entirely, and in the section "Reading Queerness in Villany" it sees Kivas Fajo as an example of the trope of queer coding villains. It makes that argument that Fajo is not merely obsessed with Data as a possession (Fajo says he prefers to see Data naked).

Maybe this could be added to the article Reception section. -- 109.79.168.179 (talk) 16:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
