Yeah they could be unreasonable about the whole "genocide" thing. We may never know if the cardassian really occupied Bajor. All we can say is that we deplore the violence on many sides.

I'm just saying, if I portrayed any real life ethnic group the same way Bajorans were portrayed in DS9, I'd be committing a hate crime. It took them about fifteen minutes to decide to worship Literally Bajoran Satan, which in Star Trek is considerably worse than normal Literally Satan, who is apparently an alright guy.

I don't know, I never thought the Bajorans were acting too unreasonably given what they had went through. Winn, that minister behind the anti-Federation coup (he was Gabriel on The Americans!), and Dukat's cultists all came out of a hard time. Give them a generation to heal and rebuild, and they'll get better.

Also wasn't it just a little sect of Bajorans worshiping the pah wraiths? It's been a while since I've seen that episode, but I thought that was the entire reason Dukat was hiding out on sideways DS9 with them.

The Bloop posted:whatever that means The Federation does have kind of a homogenization going on, but that doesn't really become apparent til DS9. I can see Klingons feeling threatened by Starfleet though on a nationstate level. If Klingons were the insane bully at school that might've murdered a kid, then Starfleet's the Loser's Club from IT but they have guns and they're handing out guns to all the other losers at school. One day the regular stream of lunch money to the Empire will end.

God that Klingon clip was the most overwrought generic fantasy crap. If you'd have changed Klingon to orc and said it was a clip for that lovely Warcraft movie, I probably would have believed it.

Brawnfire posted:Dark hint: The kids aren't Geordi's. I can defiantly see Geordie being all "I'm so sorry Leah, your husbands shuttle crashing was such a senseless waste. I can come over and help you clean out all his stuff" I hate how upset I am over these Klingons. It smacks of nothing more than the creators of Discovery going "this is going to be MY TREK, I don't care what has been set before, I am going to reengineer 40 years of established production design so I can say 'this is mine'". It explains why everything just looks so off, everything in angular and bare metal.

I dunno, seems to me like the theme of the show has something to do with war starting because of cultural fear and they're amping up the alienness of the Klingons to help tell that story.  If it turns out it's just an arbitrary change it it'll be sort of dumb but assuming it actually has a dramatic purpose I kind of like it so far.

Cell by cell our souls shall become theirs. We must fight for one thing above all: to remain... Klingon." So, yeah. I am trying REALLY hard not to get any preconceived notions about this show. I am reminding myself that the pre-release material made The Phantom Menace look amazing and the reboot of Battlestar Galactica look eyeroll-worthy.

I don't think it was explicitly said during that time period, but I thought it was always implied that the Klingons were threatened by the Federation's method of expansion. They saw it as cowardly as opposed to conquering worlds outright.
