Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Still going through DS9 and the best thing about the union episode is that even in the far future of Trek, Quark still doesn't have the technology to reliably automate food service

Actually the best part is how Worf crossed the picket line and chief O'Brien got them both thrown in the brig for literally fighting him about it during the commercial break

Wait until The Mandalorian Season 3 or The High Republic Season 2 completely bombs and they retract everything only to splurge a dozen projects again when a mini-series dedicated to Darth Maul in 2023 wins an Emmy or something. Repeat until death.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

there was an episode in which O'Brien was giving testimony on some poo poo and they introduced him as an expert witness on account of his experience in something ludicrous like 350 distinct combat encounters

Chief O'Brien probably has a kill count greater than Rambo and could take that station down single-handed if he could ever just get a good night's sleep after dealing with his bullshit job and angry wife.

it was the episode where worf kills some civvies and the klingons want to try him for war crimes

also obrien being rambo is basically the plot of the episode where they go to the sister station of DS9, empok nor, and garak gets a whiff of aerosolized cardassian super soldier serum and goes insane

I've said for ages that the reason iron man resonated so well is it's a movie that says "what if we can win in the middle east, by doing it right this time and only shooting the bad guys"

Wow, yeah. That's not even subtle, now that you point it out.

i just saw that episode and it's great how the klingon lawyer basically sees courtroom arguments as another form of combat. o'brien remains goat and its a shame all his episodes are just him getting hosed over

I re-watched Children of Men for the fourth or fifth time. Haven't watched in a while, still a quality film.

Some things I noticed this time:

- Flu pandemic in 2008 kills a bunch of kids.
- Theo (Clive Owen) is constantly losing his shoes. Also all the animals in the film love him. :3:
- Jasper's (Michael Caine) wife was a photojournalist who was tortured into a catatonic state by MI5.
- As it turns out, the film is wildly optimistic about Britain's ability to go it alone.
- The refugee camps and detention centers that invoke images from Abu Ghraib are still incredibly relevant today!
- Lacking children every person on the planet becomes a cat lady. The film does briefly explore the class divide as Theo visits his rich cousin and Hyde Park is behind a barrier where rich people loiter around walking exotic animals like elephants and giraffes on leashes while listening to classical music concerts.
- It almost looks like the Fishes Uprising will work out even though they're outgunned. Up until you see the air force fly in and bomb the poo poo out of the refugee camp.
