I often find the B-Plots on DS9 better than the A-Plot. DS9's strength is in its character development, which is why the secondary plots are so good when they focus on character interaction. Especially stuff between Jake and Sisko. It took them years of failing on TNG to show children properly, only for DS9 to knock it out of the park with their father/son relationship.

do you think when young Ben Sisko was a young Ensign they prohibited him from wearing the federation male humanoid miniskirt uniform because of his HUGE loving BALLS OF STEEL

And Dukat chose Odo because he wanted a dickless slime-man with obvious latent sexual attraction to Dr. Mora to be his jailer because that way Dukat's next choice of concubine would come out unspoiled during her inevitable stay in jail for food theft on the station.

I watched almost the whole drat series from start to finish (except the mirror episodes because they were trash), and all of a sudden out of nowhere after reading this post my brain decided that "Dukat" should be pronounced like "nougat" and it won't stop.

Ben Sisko didn't have the Harry Kim experience because he had an older patron, Curzon, who kept initiating him into experiences and friendships that he would have been too afraid to initiate himself. If you've got an older respected person who takes you by the hand at a party and walks you up to the big-rear end Boss who you are terrified of and makes light pleasant conversation with them, then indicates you and says some words to the effect of, "This is my friend, I know him, you should know him, too." that takes a lot of the tough part out if you're an unknown son of a crayfish-purveyor. Same goes when you're both about to Eiffel Tower some Bolian hooker in a shut-down crew compartment of Starbase poo poo-rear end out back of the sector that had its factory close down. It's easy when you've got an older person with you helping you through these things. Tough when you're Harry Kim.

it says my respect for the rules is zero, which I dunno if that translates into "follows the rules", it sounds like the opposite?

although you'd figure having zero respect for the rules would itself be taking a risk

Seems like Star fleet rules are dumb as hell and not following them is just common sense.

Man, they did three O'Brien suffering episodes in a row. First, he is trapped with Bashir while dying of a bioweapon, then he gets murdered before going Manchurian Candidate, and then he gets trapped with Sisko on planet eco-hippy psycho cult bitch.

EDIT: gently caress me, Profit and Loss is a good episode. You get Garak and Quark as major players, and Quark manages to sell the one episode romance that Trek so often fails at.

the u.s.s. intrepid is a big large aircraft carrying thing filled with important historic planes and shuttles and poo poo that flies/floats fast/dives beneath the sea

they also are home to the Starfleet Academy Experience!!!

yesterday I visited this important place with my mom. We saw many props from the shows, like Spock's actual ear molds and a old disintegratey pair of pointed ears and some tribbles, and a bunch of uniforms and such. I was only a foot away from a thing that was nestled between janeways thighs. Same with Wallace Shawn's curly toed shoes and nagus coat. Picards Peter pan outfit was sexy af. I never realized what a big sturdy solid man he was! It reminded me of Elvis's late 60's gold jacket outfits, when he was not a boy anymore but not yet a bloater, just a big hunk of manflesh ready to gently caress for days. This is what picards uniforms and pan clothes conveyed to me. No wonder Q was all around that business on the reg.

I tricorded a corpse and took the Kobayashi Maru test and did phaser target practice and spoke Klingon and basically had the time of my life. I told my mom all about each exhibit and prop and character and show and kept cracking great jokes at voyagers expense and whooooo boy, the "Normies" really like that show huh? make a few "neelix hosed a baby" jokes and flyover state fat fucks mean mug the poo poo out of you and your mom :( I also said "Gul dukat did nothibg wrong" real serious-like and a horrible woman pearl-clutched and made terrible screechy Picard flute sounds and demanded of her husband "did you hear that?? did you hear him??" which was weird because she didn't even look bajoran.

Abyway, I found out I'm best suited for command (obviously lol) although communications was a good 2nd.



Hopefully Starfleet will eventually be real so I can present this certificate and sign up! I'll go where no gatekeeper has gone before 🖖

Anyone else experience the academy?? Share your story and post ur pics!! I can't post em now but at home I got a bunch of great pics I took of Gul dukat's face and some blurry planets and a big ol' ship and my mom getting "beamed up" if you guys wanna see em :D

That's a really good assessment. Instead of being inherently goony, had Harry Kim or Geordie had a kind benefactor, a mentor to show them how it's done, their world and the people in it would've been better.

Harry Kim and O'Brien leave unsatisfying lives because they had the misfortune of being posted in places where there was no one to take them under their wing.
