I will be truthful, I dug Move Along Home, and I think I'd have a higher opinion of the series if they went that direction more. You've got a station with a wormhole, have a bunch of alien races stop by. Instead, we got the interaction between two boring, uninteresting races on this side of the wormhole, and an overwrought conflict with an unimpressive enemy from the other side.

I just watched Move Along Home last week and I liked it. This is my first time watching any DS9 since it originally aired. That was actually one of the episodes I remembered most clearly--someone a few pages back mentioned that the "Allamarain, count to four..." rhyme gets stuck in your head, and I can attest to that. I definitely remembered it from the original airing. I didn't remember the ending, which did make me laugh. Not the best episode I've seen so far (I'm only about halfway through the first season now) but certainly not a bad one.

Crosscontaminant posted:What's the point of doing a show about a space station if all you're going to do is the same poo poo you do on the show about a space ship? There is no point. His idea is poorly thought out and would have been far more boring, a waste of a show like Voyager as opposed to what we actually got.

Awkward letters home: Empok Nor "I regret to inform you your son died in the line of duty. He was stabbed with an engineering tool by our station tailor, after getting a wicked contact high from psychotropic drugs. Our bad. PS: He says he's really sorry." PS: Best part of the Episode is O'Brian continually wants to split up and get picked off, and even gives a huge pep talk to a dude pointing out it's a bad idea. That gets his neck stepped on until it snaps like a twig. Then he does it again 5 minutes later. Bonus comedy: The whole episode keeps referring to his master strategic mind while displaying the survival strategy of a teenager in a Friday the 13th movie.

And the best thing about that is in a later episode, when Nog and Garak are stuck on the uninhabited planet with the stranded Dominion platoon led by a wounded Keevan, Nog refuses to turn his back on Garak under any circumstances because of what happened at Empok Nor - which Garak finds rather encouraging.

I have to admit, that was a great moment. After years of seeing mind controlled crew members terrorize people in sci-fi, it's nice to see a character remember it.

You know, watching In The Cards I just got the double-edged joke of Jeffery Combs wanting to talk to the mad doctor trying to solve life & death. I didn't even think of it the first time.

Dukat ranting about Ponies until Sisko tries to strangle him in desperation. ED: I couldn't tell at first but that has to be a parody. The horrible glares and eye rolling reaction shots actually make it kind of hilarious. On a semi-related note, man I wish jandrew still did those edits, this just seems like the setup to one of his videos. Everyone else that tries to copy his style sucks so bad though.

You'd think he'd taken the time to grow a proper beard for the operation, and they used those Velcro beard pieces as the "big reveal." It never bothered me mostly because it makes for some hilarious animated gifs we've seen around here.

You know, I have to give them credit for Garrak. Not just the fact he's awesome, but even when you get to know more about him and some things become clear, he stays awesome, even in the end when you've mostly figured him out. Yet at the same time they reveal quite a bit for a character who's main running point is being an enigma. Really an example of a character that should have been ruined by revealing too much, or getting too much screen time, but beat all the odds.

Garak worked because he has endless layers. Just by finding out something about him, more questions tend to be raised. Consider finding out Dukat knows him personally, and they loathe one another. No explanation at first, they just exchange disgusted stares, and this kind of explains why Garak was left behind and can never go home; a highly-ranked military officer in this very militaristic culture just does not like him, and that could be well enough on its own. But that's not all there is to the story, and they sure as poo poo don't feed you all of it in one go, so you get to sit there between appearances wondering just what the gently caress is up with Garak. Is he even really a spy, or just messing with people so no one messes with him? The brilliant part is that Garak really is all of those things while also being exactly what he appears to be. Plain, simple Garak, now a tailor who was once the gardener at the Cardassian embassy on Romulus.
