Powered Descent posted:Six years, actually. But you know what, I'll allow it. There's ZERO chance that Fermat used the same reasoning as Wiles did. So if Fermat had an actual proof in mind, it relied on reasoning that we still haven't figured out. (Personally I think the most likely explanation is that Fermat was just mistaken, and if he'd actually written down what he was thinking about, he would have gone "aw gently caress, that doesn't actually work after all, does it". But then I might be wrong.) I always like to think Fermat wrote 'remarkable proof' in the margin the same way I might write 'nice car' in the margin of a local auto classifieds. Neither of us actually have them, but we would enjoy having them.

I'm trying to wrap my head around why so many Trekkies hate Avery Brooks's performance as Sisko. He's full on theater acting, rather than television acting. But then, Shatner and Stewart were also doing Shakespearean overacting in their shows as well. I never understand the refusal to accept change because DS9 tried to do things differently.

Many Trekkies are racist, I have found. And it wasn't the fact of Brooks' being black that tipped them over, it was that his blackness was openly acknowledged several times on the show.

Everyone that watches through DS9 is at the very least a little racist against Bajorans by the middle and full on Donald Trump Of Cardassia Prime by the end of it.

Voyager needed to be a show about a Cardassian ship lost in the Delta Quadrant. Or, as it would eventually be known, the Dukat Quadrant.

I'm loving DS9 and Sisko, but I'm not going to pretend his acting in the pilot isn't hilarious. The height of it is the beach scene with his dead wife or him trying to be chummy with Jake. Of course he gets better but that first episode was pretty jarring. Compare that with David Duchovny in the X-Files who I'm not sure ever improved. The takeaway here is that David Duchovny should've shaved his head and grown a goatee.

I'm working through DS9 (on season 7 now) using mostly this list of what episodes to watch for hot Federation on Dominion action, along with a few others thrown in that I've either heard are interesting or the description looked good. But whoever compiled that list dropped the ball on season 6. I watched the finale, and out of nowhere Dukat is all, "Hey, get me some weird Bajorn voodoo doll thing." Then he breaks it open and goes all super-saiyan on Jadzia, makes an orb not work, and closes the wormhole, and it makes no sense. I then have to look poo poo up on memory-alpha and find out there something called Pah-Wraiths (?) that are, like, anti-Prophets that the website didn't think was important enough to know about before the finale. So I got mad at a website for not having me watch one of the earlier ones that establish these things. So then I decided to just watch all the remaining ones in order and end up watching one where Bashir cures that catatonic genetically-engineered girl and IMMEDIATELY starts creepin' on her (oh, but don't worry, no ethics violation here, he had the other doctor take over her care.  ) Like...he goes from first kiss (which I assume is the first kiss of her entire life) to asking her to spend a week with him alone on Planet Bone Zone. She gets so freaked out by him that she has to pretend to be catatonic again in the hopes it will get him to leave her alone.

The height of it is the beach scene with his dead wife or him trying to be chummy with Jake. Of course he gets better but that first episode was pretty jarring. His overacting is still incredibly fun to watch. It's a performance piece, but because Sisko's anger and high emotion moments are so memorable, people tend to forget just how much range he has for subtle moments. Of course, the beach scene is still hilarious. "Do you have ANY idea how INCREDIBLE this is? AAOOOWWW!" DrBouvenstein posted:But whoever compiled that list dropped the ball on season 6. I watched the finale, and out of nowhere Dukat is all, There is a one off episode where Jake and either Keiko or Kira (can't remember) get possessed by a Pah-Wraith and a Prophet and have a laser fight on the promenade. It might have been the same episode where a Pah=Wraith posessed Keiko to try and make O'Brien blow up the wormhole or she would make Keiko self harm.

Ugh TNG definitely has tons of skippable episodes but DS9 is worth watching cover to cover. Even the occasional bad episode usually has some good character or arc stuff.

I skip every single second of prophet-time when watching DS9. Probably adds up to an episode and a half worth by the end.

It's like "motherfucker, have you even seen Star Trek?" I was telling a friend about Far Beyond the Stars once and he said the episode was garbage bullshit because "that far in the future no one will notice race so the show shouldn't address it". That first part is all well and good, but DS9 isn't real and science-fiction has always incorporated social issues. I can't wait to tell him about Sisko objecting to the holo-Vegas heist.

my friends and i love dropping the sisko's "ISNT IT POSSIBLE???" (starts at 1:40) any time we could have just said "well maybe this...?" or "huh could it have been this..? and the ultimate sisko moment is at the end of the bashir bond episode, when bashir does his whole "you know what? you're right!" speech to sisko's hippocrates noah, and sisko looks at him in silent intensity for a really long time, almost trembling with intensity, and then lets loose this incredible high pitched "HA!" like a fuckin gunshot

Uhura was a reliable comms officer. I wouldn't put Sisko on my crew; never know when he's going to get possessed by an alien ghost for some bullshit.

I'm watching an episode of Enterprise. A human freighter's been attacked by Nausicaan pirates over and over again and they finally captured one to hold as a hostage. Archer and the gang find out about it and try to rescue the Nausicaan. Mayweather goes to Archer and says, "Maybe this isn't our fight and we have no reason to intervene in their problems." Archer's response is, "Humans have a basic code of conduct whether they're born on earth or not. We can't just kill people because they're different." But they're pirates who are killing them
