just watched the ds9 episode "shakaar" it was a pretty good episode until the end. at the end they're like "shakaar is running for president and has the backing of military so he's gonna win" and the kai subsequently drops out all together that's twice so far this show has been like "democracy is best when the military decides who gets to rule" (first is li nalas). just seems like its completely missing the whole point. just throw in a line a dialogue that says "shakaar's entry has encouraged numerous other candidates to enter the race and the kai's popularity is waning." they already have an extra exposition scene at the end (a rare thing considering how quickly most episodes wrap up) that says "she dropped out and is supporting shakaar" just to reemphasize that "democracy is best when its a simple military backed consensus." was fun to see rawls from the wire (john doman) in the episode though the kai reeks of bad writing to me (despite the moment to moment interactions and dialogue being really good). like, they obviously wrote her into a corner when she's in the capital with the head of the coup government as it falls. but then the writers just decided "it'd be more fun to make her kai too!" so they just did it without any setup. i guess what i'm saying is that she suffers from "michael scott syndrome:" we need to see her doing something so competently that it makes her popularity and base of power believable, like seeing how good michael scott was at sales (explaining why he was promoted). there must be a reason she was selected kai despite being obviously involved in the coup/directly tied to terrorism, and also a reason why she was gonna be president unopposed (this was explained as "completed cardassian peace treaty" so at least they tried). otherwise she just stands out as a cartoonish villain

Arcsquad12 posted:DS9 season 1 has O'Brien be a complete rear end to Bashir because season 1 Bashir is a complete rear end. Q comes to the station and acts like a complete rear end because Vash dumped him, so he picks a fight with Sisko and loses. Odo is a complete rear end and Kira is a complete rear end and together they compete to be the biggest complete rear end while telling the cardies and the federation types to gently caress off and let them run the station. I've just started watching DS9 with my partner and every time we start a new episode I pray that this is the one that sees Bashir get teleported into space So far my prayers have gone unanswered

Facebook Aunt posted:Starfleet has a long history of shrugging and ignoring any atrocities that happen while you're mind controlled, possesed, in an alternate dimension, or otherwise out of sorts. If Starfleet beached everyone who got their mind fiddled with by aliens, they'd be unable to crew the fleet within a year.

speaking of, what is the original context for Potatoes O'Dyin? Like, i get the pun, and it's strangely appropriate, but I'd love to see the series of comments that lead to that phrase.

IIRC someone posted a funny DS9 character rundown that used Potatoes O'Dyin, and it cracked me the gently caress up so I asked for a thread title change. That was like a year or two ago.

Regardless v good. My wife and I all him potatoes o ruin thabks to the thread. Lead to a great joke on the couch when we matched that DS9 episode where He comes back from brain jail and has PTSD. I said of course he isn’t going to go get help. He’s potatoes o dyin not potatoes o therapy.

The amphibian babies had super-mindpowers as that is how evolution works in Trek and so all those TOS and TNG random God-Beings were neglected kids loving with the anscestors of their deadbeat parents

I wonder how many times Picard had to deal with that same situation. Granted there weren't many immediate survivors of Wolf 359, but 11,000 dead leaves a lot of widows and orphans.

Hahahaha, in the pre credits scene for The Hunted, the prisoner manages to evade the Enterprise by flying around an asteroid and then data takes the ship around the rock and he zooms off. Picard is naturally shocked at how talented this escape artist must be. Lol, and O'Brien got yet another shoulder injury. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 22:25 on May 30, 2020 |

She gets most of the scenes interacting with the super soldier guy.

Yeah I'm surprised that Troi actually did something this episode, even if she just wandered into the plot.
