A probe travels to earth and is mad as hell that we have whales, so the enterprise heroically travels back in time to hunt them to extinction in the 20th century.

Discovery Season 6 branching timelines plot:

Emperor Georgiou is hungry for Kelpians, but none are on board because she's been real peckish. The computer recognizes humpback whale flesh as the closest biological analogy, so the ISS Discovery slingshots around the sun into the past to pick up dinner.

"Can't we just carve away a couple of pounds of flesh and let it go, you know, in case she wants some more in the future?"

"Nah, with any luck we'll have been promoted off the ship by then. Just beam it aboard into the cargo bay, zap it with some high voltage to stun it, and let the boss pick out her cut of meat."

DS9 writers: "women kissing women, you say?"

davidspackage posted:

It seems like both a sign of changing times on TV but also a little icky that, after DS9 broke new ground with a lesbian kiss, the last Mirror Universe episode in the final season ends with "ohhh boy lesbians is hot :awesome:"

Was interesting to read how they got angry letters & contacted one viewer upset his kids had seen the woman on woman kiss. They asked if he would have been ok with one of the women instead pulling a gun & shooting the other & he affirmed that would be no problem.

To DS9’s credit in the documentary they don’t take a victory lap for stuff like that & admit they were playing it safe & should have done more to be inclusive.

An immensely offputting simulacrum of what someone would make if they were creating a human from memory alone is exactly the vibe of a good Boimler so they nailed it as far as I'm concerned.

I wish the show had leaned harder into Ezri being a complete mess who's barely holding herself together. The episode with her and Garak hits on that theme pretty well, but I feel like they could've done more with it.

She did a good enough job with it and hit it in certain moments but overall I don't think she had the chops in a single season to pull off as complex a performance as the character needed for that whole plotline to really sing.
