Jake and Nog actually work really well because they're just smart enough to get into real trouble. They shoulda brought in Alexander and Ziyal for a full quartet of space teenage shenanigans. The bit where they go on a camping trip with Sisko and Quark gets interesting, they kinda basically spell out that it's basically idealised future humanity encountering its past.

I guess Klingon kids grow faster? and didn't he end up going to the klingon academy? klingons rely a lot on suspension of disbelief. Sort of like how everyone speaks english, which is because of the universal translator, but then can also speak their own language somehow which doesn't translate and also when their mouths move they are making shapes for english words.

nah he wasn't conscripted. he enlisted voluntarily because he wanted to connect with his Klingon heritage and prove something to himself / Worf. don't think the Empire's conscription officers would have tried to exercise jurisdiction on Earth. where Alexander was living with his adoptive grandparents since his home on the Enterprise D blew up. and yeah, Ron Moore said it was just assumed Klingons mature a bit faster than humans, and expected they wouldn't have to explain that in show that he turned up as a mid-teen equivalent at age of ten.

the episode was good but i think they should have played the klingon thing differently the best way to do it would have been to do up Michael Dorn in TOS-style makeup while the Defiant is in the 23rd century, and - here's the really important bit - nobody notices or comments on it in any way whatsoever. the moment they're back in the 24th century, bam, he's back to the ridgehead we all know and love.

They're the ones tempting him out of what he considers to be the right way to live.

Lead out in cuffs posted:I loled at "watch the Irishman suffer". He knows he deserves it. He knows why. Ghost Leviathan posted:I feel like a big part of why Quark in particular is uncomfortable with humans is specifically because he has so much in common with them and gets along with them so well. They're the ones tempting him out of what he considers to be the right way to live. I bet he dies mostly broke. Also why wasn't there a Ferengi civil war? The reforms imply that there will be taxes levied and a whole bunch of stuff the pervading culture hates. Even if most male Ferengi are disaffected like Rom and Nog (obviously all the women are), the power still rests mostly with the obscenely wealthy.

It's established a fair bit that Ferengi don't really do war unless it's in self-defense or they're profiting off it. (though Ferengi Civil War is actually a deal in the mobile game Star Trek: Timelines, where the Ferengi are split into the more progressive Alliance and the Traditionalists, since the premise of the game has past and future colliding) There's actually some implication that Ferengi are surprisingly willing to change up their entire society and culture overnight if there's more profit in it for them- for one, that they make more money off women as equals, and thus customers, then they do by keeping them shut away and oppressed, and secondly, the galaxy is more willing to do business with them if they're honest and ethical. (Quark learns this the hard way in the episode where he becomes an arms dealer; he's very good at it, but all his goodwill with the Federation and Bajor instantly disappears) Funny thing is that Quark is probably the type to do well in the long run specifically because that despite his aspirations to be a proper Ferengi, he's not a typical Ferengi; he has a distinct taste for women who are quite specifically not subservient (having shown genuine interest in Jadzia, Kira, Grillka, a Cardassian and a Vulcan) and shows a lot of attributes that other cultures value; as said, his extraverted, friendly nature means he gets along great with the Federation, he's shown courage, an understanding of honour, and in a pinch a capacity for violence that Klingons would respect, and at one point he's able to use game theory to give a convincing argument to a Vulcan- in other words, convincing her that his logic is sound. One of the jokes is that at the start of the series, Quark is considered dangerously liberal and even philanthropic by Ferengi authorities, but after the reforms at the end, he specifically becomes the last holdout of traditional Ferengi values- he went from a progressive to a traditionalist just by standing still.

I think he dies without much money because he'll spend it all helping his friends. He'll call it loans with high interest and then never collect. Interesting information, though.

Lead out in cuffs posted:I loled at "watch the Irishman suffer". At least it's not for the traditional reasons for Irish suffering, the English captain on TNG gets randomly screwed with too, so the universe isn't completely biased. Though at least when Picard gets gaslit into a decades-long experience in minutes he gets to have a family and learn playing the flute, O'brien didn't get any valuable life lessons (insert your own dirty "learned to play the flute from his cellmate" jokes here).

I dunno, there's the bit where through Science Shenanigans, Kira ends up carrying O'Brien and Keiko's second child, and things get weird between them, when Keiko sends them to relax at a secluded cottage and while in the runabout, Kira and O'Brien both look at each other with expressions of visible, growing, mutual horror while describing how romantic the scenario is. I'm not sure what was learned there, but it was funny.

Keiko was clearly trying for a three-way polyamorous scenario but Miles and Nerys were either not into that or not aware it was an option. I don't know how progressive Bajoran teachings on correct relationship arrangements are
