AlBorlantern Corps posted:Come on trying to kill O'Brien is only a $50 fine I watched the episode where they take Odo back to the Founders cause he's sick, and they judge him and make him permasolid. There's this great moment where Garak asks about the survivors of the Obsidian Order/Tal Shiar attack on the Founders and the female changeling just exasperatedly throws in his face "they're dead. You're dead. Cardassia is dead." and fuuuck, Garak's face. So he tries to hijack the weapon systems for a suicidal attack to wipe out the Founders, and Worf narrowly stops him. And... afterwards... he gets six months in jail? For all of that?

yeah weird 'cuz he was right wiping out the Founders was exactly the right move, it wasn't even pre-emptive at that point. the Founders were upfront, bona fide motherfuckers and i hope they Burn in the fyre cavés Pick fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Jun 3, 2019 |

Science-fiction genocide, in which all members of the species (edit: except for Odo and the other ninety-nine castaways) are literally complicit and hostile forces due to being part of a loose "drop becomes the ocean, ocean becomes the drop" hivemind, doesn't have the moral implications of real genocide. It's been almost a year since I watched the finale and I don't remember enough about the series to judge whether that was right or wrong

If they really wanted to bring an end to the dominion war, what they should have done was bring Patrick to the negotiation table, sat him down in front of the female changeling, and every time she said something evil, have him say "that's a stupid question/comment", and the war would be over in 20 minutes. Somehow the female changeling walks away with her opinion on solids completely changed.

It's been almost a year since I watched the finale and I don't remember enough about the series to judge whether that was right or wrong the Dominion was doing full-planet wipeouts, such as New Bajor, and had a history of doing so elsewhere even in peacetime conditions, with galling and intentional cruelty, such as Quickening Planet

It's not out of character nor irrational for the Federation to have a really hard time committing actual genocide, even if their enemies would do it without compunction.

lol but posted:weird to see pick speaking out against sci fi nazis Cardassia was still producing people like Natima Lang, Ulani Belor, and Tekeny Ghemor so there's an innocent civilian dimension to bombardment of their homeworld (which ultimately happened of course), whereas the Founders are by their nature united and equal in culpability aside from the potential outliers like Laas who would not have been affected.

I watched Rapture the other day, when Sisko stops Bajor joining the Federation because of his visions. I think it's the episode that gave most to Brooks, and allowed his natural acting exuberance work for the character. In my re-watch it's my favourite complete episode of Brooks' acting so far. It was like the writer honed everything into the script so his scenery chewing would be entirely justified by the narrative. It's great.

TIL that joke where Rom says he got an ear infection because of too much oomox, Leeta asks "Who's the lucky lady?" and he answers "No one, I've been doing it myself" is not just the first masturbation joke in Star Trek, but the first masturbation joke on American television.

It wasn't. Bar Association aired in 1996. The Seinfeld episode "The Contest" was from 1992.

I would like to see a blooper reel where he does the "it seems that way" line and just loses his poo poo laughing, it looked like he was having trouble holding it in when he turns back to his desk.

I fukken love the joke of them accidentally existing in Sisko's office but drat they must have taken a lot of ladders to get up there, especially since it looks like they enter in the Habitat Ring.

It's been almost a year since I watched the finale and I don't remember enough about the series to judge whether that was right or wrong One of the paradoxes of sci-fi, specifically the Trek variety where you also want to do morality plays, is that you have to somehow create alien species that are "interesting", as a whole, but also make it wrong to be racist against them. On one hand you're saying everyone from this planet does X, and on the other hand you're saying how dare you assume everyone from this planet does Y. And of course in some episodes it suits the writers' needs for a certain alien species to stand in for a certain personality type, but then it basically forever ruins that species from being used in racism allegories.
