The baseball episode of DS9 is the greatest piece of Star Trek media ever made. I dare anyone to find a better episode or film.

It's probably just a coincidence that Sisko only ends up with black women or that Jake happens to date a black Bajoran.

Season 7, episode 4.

Baseball comes up a lot but there's only one episode that revolves around an actual game played on the station.

an enlightened post-scarcity society means few have to overcome adversity, which makes for bad art

plus after the holodeck was invented I imagine most creative efforts went towards realizing increasingly elaborate/degenerate sexual fantasies- we just don't see them because everything takes place on military vessels and even in the future moralistic buzzkills interfere with a servicemember's right to have a good time

The holodeck has three settings, which are wild west, 1920s Chicago, or Sherlock Holmes era London. Thats CANON.

yeah maybe

or maybe it's just a cultural fad of the time period Star Trek takes place in- basically their version of the neoclassicism that was so popular from the early 18th through the middle of the 20th century

I mean in the Star Trek timeline it basically goes 20th century->garbage dark age time-> drunk hick discovers FTL travel->utopia and there is a ton of 20th century media available so it's probably the last "pre-modern" period full of vice for them

they probably get a dirty little quasi-sexual thrill everytime they contemplate buying things with money or being able to smoke/drink

edit: also all the good holodeck programs were probably written before money was abolished, so it was people working with public domain properties

I wonder what they have against the later half of the 20th century.

Is this still the BABCOM 5 thread?

I just finished episode 1 of season 2. I had forgotten about the Minbari's utter contempt for human life and their extreme rear end pain over Sheridan becoming the new commander of Babylon 5. Their insane double-standard regarding the events of the Earth/Minbari war is just precious.

Minbari slaughter millions of helpless Earthers in a lop-sided conflict: "Those were dark times. Perhaps, one day, our two races can learn to let go of the past and find peace out here, amongst the stars." :effort:

A handful of Minbari ships get blown up in a battle: "SHERIDAN THE STAR-KILLER!" :reddit:
