Let's see, I watched a few episodes last night, all from Season 6. Beginning with Dragons Teeth and eventually passing out during Fair Haven.

Fair Haven seemed pretty loving dumb and weird

We watched the polygamist dandruff refugees with doofus husbands episode last night. Pretty weak. I did like the big ol truth smackdown the lady puts on Kira at the end right before they leave DS9 (we are farmers and could have fed your planet but you're sending us to trigon2 or whatever) but the space flute dude, twitchy beta dudes, jacked up universal translator and all - sometimes I wish the federation was a little less accommodating to annoying species. The Bajorans not only told them to no to immigrating but blew up the one craft that came toward their planet.

That's the episode that convinced me that Bajorans are assholes. The lady's speech at the end is the best part.

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

Nothing good happens in Star Trek where the Irish are involved.

See: that TNG season 2 episode, every episode featuring O'Brien, also the later ep in VOY where they revisit Fair Haven

(slight distinction: O'Brien episodes are good TV generally, their plots just involve terrible things happening to a space-Irishman)

The aliens were pretty big assholes too. The wanted to live on a previously war torn and barley functioning planet with a interim government that almost just had a civil war. They offer nothing but... "Hey we can farm" but have never done so on that planet. Their culture is very different than the indigenous one. The reason they give for wanting to plant themselves on this planet is because "it's the promised land!" which always ends well for the natives as history has shown.

Oh and the Feds were already willing to give them an ENTIRE planet to colonize but the dandruff gals wanted the first one they saw. gently caress their entitled rear end. Bajorans were right on that one.

No no no no no. The Scrreea were led by prophecy you understand. They were absolutely entitled to that land its just that the BJ's are racist as gently caress and like North Korea, prefer to suffer a famine in total ethnic purity.

The Bajorans were never right.

I know the lowest common denominator joke for Star Trek is making fun of the technobabble, but jesus christ voyager.

At least half the time the actors look like they were told to improvise.

No, the picture is of Star Trek Online, a PC game.

I just wish I could find an app that made my tablet look like LCARS, but none of them are free and I refuse to pay for an app that'll probably make my tablet slow and a pain to use.

I also with I could find some Trek mp3 sounds that I could use on my phone as ringtones and message alerts, but I'm too lazy to bother looking. My current ring is "mullato butts", but I'm getting bored with it and also I feel weird every time it rings loudly at the mostly black Kroger I shop at.

You make the Skreas sound like Pakleds with bad skin. They just wanted to hang around and farm some area where nobody was living because Cardassians hosed it up so badly, that's it. Also Bajorans do not have poo poo to say when it comes to dumbass prophecies and religious beliefs.

I was thinking about the Prophets a while back and came to the conclusion that they are the ultimate evil in the universe. They manipulated Sisko's dad to make Benjamin and then manipulated events so he would end up on Bajor. This leads me to conclude that they caused the massacre at Wolf 359 to kill Ben's wife so he would be reassigned. They influenced the Cardassians so they would occupy Bajor leading the federation to eventually occupy Deep Space 9. The Prophets are literally responsible for decades of genocide and massacres.
