miles and keiko obrien are the classic tv couple of a mean bitter clod of a man and a lovely kind beautiful woman

"Paradise" (DS9 2x15) is a predictable slog, just like super obvious from the beginning that it's gonna be a primitivist cult, but I have Thoughts about the final scene, especially the final shot

1/36

i joke, as if I haven't been live posting my reactions all day every day for months 😅

this next episode is called "shadowplay". I have not heard of this kink, but I am intrigued

someone really needs to teach starfleet about two factor authentication

and whose idea was it to leave all these cardassian computers in place on the station. what makes them think there aren't backdoors everywhere? not to mention the systems integration problems they keep running into. they have replicators it can't be that hard to make replacements

I know it's been said but... the DS9 episodes set in a hooverville revolt in 2024 hit... very close to home

to avoid confusion with their stellar counterparts, a cardassian naval captain is referred to as a sea gul

Nerys is a really nice name and if I were transitioning now I would 100% consider taking it

not that I couldn't change my name yet again now, but effort

dukat/kira nerys, enemies to lovers, sexual content

I want to look like nerys, and I actually look like jadzia, but I feel like I look like quark 😖

asking the ffs surgeon if I can get bajoran nose bumpies

a chain cuff earring may have arrived at my apartment today following an etsy-involved purchasing incident

I was not expecting them to go through with the sapphic kiss between Jadzia and her past host's wife's later host on screen but I am Here For It despite the kill your gays backdrop

terok nor's sister station, terok nand

I found out yesterday that quark is played by the same actor as principal snyder from buffy and now I can't unsee it. the wormhole is a hellmouth

klingons are boring. they bore me. I said what I said.

ds9's anniversary episode is great. so much nostalgia for that show I watched two months ago. I still want a plush tribble

I don't like klingon episodes, but I sure do like watching jadzia out-klinging klingons 🥺

chIch? sorry, chIch? sorry, chIch? sorry

I find it interesting that root beer seems to be considered a signature human drink, when a lot of current humans think it tastes foul and medicinal

every once in a while I catch myself wondering why characters on tv aren't wearing masks, even when the show predates the original sars trek

I ship kadzira

avery brooks is just an entirely different actor after the first couple seasons of ds9, huh? must be the goatee

[nervous laughter]

this episode has gone from crossdressing played for laughs to attempted rape played for laughs 🙃

prophets save me from 1900s portrayals of gender politics

did they just casually mention, 7 seasons in, that ds9 uses a 26 hour day?

experimental brain surgery to "fix" a person being nonverbal. this show sucks sometimes.

"they're used to my being quiet. it's easier [just not talking to them]" well that's relatable at least

star trek has so many truly heartwarming autism analogs and this episode feels like the antithesis of all of it

credit to obrien for calling bashir out on the creepiness of dating his patient. most insight into relationships he's ever shown

are there any women in cardassian military leadership? you know, she-guls?

cult dukat send toot

or is gul ducult better

the subtitles have decided that pagh is now spelled pah, which I guess is more like how people actually pronounce it, but still

if you're worshiping something called a wraith, pa(g)h or otherwise, that probably ought to be an "are we the baddies" moment. just saying
