The whole thing with The Sisko being The Emissary didn't really work and led to a really unsatisfying wrap-up for Sisko at the end of the series. Though it's funny to imagine Avery Brooks yelling at the producers when they tell him sci-fi's first black TV family is going to have an absentee dad.

Since the they experienced time non-linearly as well shouldn't the pah wraiths have known their plan would fail?

The pah wraiths were a little on the NWO b-team side of things. Why alter all of reality and moving ships, restoring lives and bending consciousness when you can instead throw some hadoukens around in a corridor until its time to lose. I think the pah wraiths were a tool of the prophets to keep ratings up at a time when a few of the BJ's were starting to wake up and realize how lovely their planet and civilization was compared to every one elses.

Tujague posted:Yeah, the whole pah-wraiths / prophets thing was the farty noise at the end of DS9's otherwise dope final chapter. In retrospect it seems like they wrote themselves into several corners. I was OK with Gul Dukat selling his soul to the devil in order to screw everyone who had mistreated him, even if he had to turn into a Bajoran to do it. But he never should have been reduced to begging - the evil prophets should have had a better plan than that. Nurse Ratched should have died an unredeemed chump, and Sisko's last message to the Bajorans should have been "The prophets are going bye-bye, time to stand on your own!" Which would have left the wormhole a potential threat, therefore making the truce with the Founders heavy and unrelated poo poo. I knew you had a good post in there somewhere!

Space gods ain't necessarily bad. It's just really easy to do them poorly. Q is still my favourite sci-fi portrayal of a god(s) and it's only because they left the human ascension question wide open. It made me hard, you see. Because of my god complex.

You know, shadow... there are times when posting seems so complicated. Nothing is truly good or truly evil. You start to think that everything is shades of gray. Then you spend time with a sperg like Tujague... and you realize there is really such a thing as evil after all.

You know, Redshirt didn't start to go truly fucktarded bug nuts until he started straining and heaving to try to lay :sickburns: on me in a Star Trek thread. I mean, things got worse from there, but it was pretty much the exact same kind of "Huh huh, his posts are bad riteguys? Right? Guys?" pitiful fat kid crybaby multi-rageposting you are witnessing here.

Nitrousoxide posted:Since the they experienced time non-linearly as well shouldn't the pah wraiths have known their plan would fail? It was never stated that the pah wraiths experienced time in a non linear way. They weren't prophets, they weren't in the celestial temple/wormhole, and their attempts to take the wormhole always failed, so it would seem that they experienced time as linear and didn't know they would fail.

Orange Sunshine posted:It was never stated that the pah wraiths experienced time in a non linear way. I'm pretty sure they were literally prophets who didn't share the same views as the ones in the wormhole and so got kicked out. Unless the the ability to see time non-linearly comes from being in the wormhole (unlikely since they didn't even understand the directionality of time "until" Sisko explained it to them) the Pah Wraiths should be the same.
