Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

That’s like... the worst DS9 episode in tv show history and I’ve always wondered how the Jadzia Dax actress felt about it. Warf (now her husband) basically verbally abuses her for the whole show. It had to have sucked and I never understood the reason for the episode even existing.

It aptly illustrates the "weeb to misogynist trad nationalist" pipeline, so accurately it was probably unintentional

I've been slowly watching all of Star Trek since it came to Netflix ... and DS9 was one of the better shows I've ever seen, in all of TV. That episode sure was terrible ... butttttt

Nowhere near as terrible as Voyager's season 4 Retrospect, which is possibly the worst TV I've ever seen.

The episode starts with a rape-analogy premise, and just doubles down on getting worse and worse. The entire crew and especially the female captain question the victim's story. Ultimately it turns out her experience was a false memory coaxed by therapy. And the perpetrator, even though he's vindicated, kills himself due to his reputation having been tarnished. Give me a loving break.

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.

My favorite parts of Star Trek are when characters reference things from hundreds of years ago that nobody could possibly give a poo poo about at that point. Just a Klingon making a 300 year old Earth reference to a Trill.

My favourite part of star trek is whenever they reference historical figures and they list two real life humans and then a crazy made up alien name

Yeah that's not even in the top ten worst episodes of DS9.

Also that episode was hell to shoot because Terry Farell has a skin condition that basically means she's a vampire and can't be in direct sunlight ever.

e: also also Rick Berman was a massive creep to her.

That is really weird. One that stood out to me was Worf's fascination with ... Minsk.

I kinda like Tom Paris's obsession with the 1950s (I mean we have similar history fetishists these days), and they did a fun episode where his knowledge was just wrong and kept getting them into poo poo.

Tom paris's love for the 1950s also gave us bride of chaotica!

Actually now I wonder is that episode is the only episode title with an exclamation point in it

Is this an avatar? I don't know rm dunk

to be fair maybe in the future we'll just reference things from a hundred years ago, way more often

It'll be much easier to reference old stuff from here onwards because we just record everything now and store it all online. It's harder to relate to random peasant from 1200 years ago because all we got from that time are some scriptures and bad paintings. Hell it's hard to get an idea of things from 200 years ago

500 years from now someone will still be able to watch that embarrassing video you made and get a much fuller and clearer picture of it all

All existing digital data storage methods are hilariously volatile, both physically and due to their reliance on mutable software for interpretation. Imagine trying to backwards engineer mp4 encoding when the only example you have is a scratched CD containing a backup of some guy's iTunes library he left in a desk drawer that happened to not be near any of the nukes. If he backed it up on a thumb drive that poo poo's gone after 40/50 years just from electron drift nukes or no.

Nah, it's just we're at the end of culture and everything from here on out is remakes and appeals to nostalgia. Future people will reference our media because they'll be watching the same drat things.

That has literally always been the case, it's got nothing to do with the current times. If anything, there are way fewer remakes and sequels these days.

The Maltese Falcon got remade three times in ten years. There were seven film adaptations of the Wizard of Oz before the one you've heard of. They put out two James Bond movies within three months of each other
