It's a great contrast with Barclay's holo spankdoll of Wesley, which everyone just took in stride. I can only assume it means they all have one of those.

Paradoxish posted:Really? S1 of DS9 always strikes me as the strongest first season of any modern Trek by a mile. That still doesn't make it good. I was ragging on it left and right up until the middle of season 2 when it became an actually good show. Probably half or more of them were either direct ripoffs or mishmashes of superior TNG or TOS episodes. There were some good episodes, and the characters start out a little better, but there were times with this, as with TNG, that I wondered how in the world it survived. That reminds me, we watched the first 35 minutes of The Jem'Hadar tonight. My wife couldn't stay awake so we stopped it just as the Odyssey is passing through the wormhole. She's never seen much of DS9 and has no idea what's about to happen.

I pretty much just gave up and started S2 of DS9 which seems much better and a better decision. I dunno it just looks real bad. I'm watching it on HULU

It's been awhile since I watched Siege of AR-558 and somehow I forgot Raymond Cruz features heavily in this episode. Everyone always cites Quark's speech about humans as his high point in the episode, but his scene during the battle has always been my favorite. The look on Quark's face when he kills to defend Nog is a perfect epilogue to that earlier scene.

If TNG didn't have an annoying habit of callously discarding rad recurring women characters, I'd actually kind of admire ST:O bucking the EU trend of "EVERY NAMED CHARACTER IN THE SERIES IS ACTUALLY PIVOTAL TO GALACTIC HISTORY".

I was half convinced there was supposed to be something wrong with Ro at first because her performance was so weird and muted, but nope everyone is out of character in that one. Season 7 is pretty bad, you guys.

I guess it's not technically a 2 parter and is instead 1 long part but I've always really enjoyed The Way of the Warrior While there was already a fair amount of it going on in season 3 it marked the big obvious beginning of DS9's rework into what we remember it being. You get a little but of everything DS9 too. Big dumb shooting scenes, terrible terrible hand to hand fighting and double fist blows (part of all of Star Trek of course), Dukat being Dukat, Sisko being Sisko, Worf getting to blow poo poo up, really nice character moments between a few different combinations you probably wouldn't think of (root beer scene) and some classics ("You're going to hit them with a box?" and "You have to admit, it's much more civilized!"), Gowron  .It's all there and I love it. Comedy answer: Star Trek Voyager/Battlestar Galactica

Martha Stewart Undying posted:How the hell is odo suddenly bajoran hitler for killing 3 innocent guys??? Is this dumbshit childrace that mentally undeveloped they turn into gibbering babies at the thought of fallibility? Odo's backstory as "constable" of Terok Nor has never made a lot of sense. The Cardassians should never have given that authority to a weird alien with clear Bajoran sympathies (and they were right, since he's shown to have shielded the Bajoran resistance on more than one occassion, and for the most part he thwarted the Cardassian SOP of show trials and reprisal executions). The Bajorans should never have forgiven him for being a Cardassian collaborator, especially Kira who is consistently shown to have a zero tolerance policy towards collaborators for both ethical and tactical reasons. Sisko's decision to let Odo stay as head of DS9 security turns out to be hugely successful but there were no good reasons to trust Odo at the time.

I interpret it more as Odo playing middleman/double agent. The Cardassians trust him because he has a clear sense of duty and (on the surface) appears to keep the Bajorans in line. The Bajorans trust him because he's actually their inside man, helping the resistance when he can and offering intel on Cardie plans. Sisko keeps him on staff because he's a known quantity to the locals and because installing a Starfleet officer in his place would probably draw ugly parallels with the Occupation.

Bit of a crosspost from the stuff-you-just-figured-out thread on PYF, but Greatest Generation just covered Descent Pt 1, and I realized that end-game TNG was contemporary with inaugural Power Rangers. It wouldn't otherwise be that interesting, except that the Descent two-parter features the building that would be the Command Center on PR for five(?) years.
