Seriously did the writers just forgot Alexander existed? Was Worf being a lovely parent planned writing?

The Demilich posted:Seriously did the writers just forgot Alexander existed? Was Worf being a lovely patent planned writing? I feel like it probably started with the first, and then after a while when the writers finally remembered they just decided, what ever why not just lean into it. I feel like a lot of shows, particularly older more serial ones, are/were written that way.

Picard S3 Riker: “Hey Worf, whatever happened to Alexander?” *Worf just stares blankly at him while the camera holds there for a solid minute before cutting to an entirely different scene*

SNW only gets better. A couple questionable decisions along the way, but everything else is so good it doesn't matter.

Noam Chomsky posted:Finished my first DS9 watch. Amazing show but I don’t like how it ended all that much. So as someone who just recently watched it - what do you think happens in the season 6 episode, In the Pale Moonlight, where they bring the Romulans into the war? I'm curious on what a new watcher picked up on.

I'm curious on what a new watcher picked up on. It’s been a bit since I watched it but they make that fake holorecording and then Garak sabotages the ship, and kills the guy who made the recording, so that the imperfections in the chip will be explained away as resulting from the shuttle explosion.

Ah sure it's better fresh. But yes, that's the basic idea. But put this in your head for the next time you watch it - Garak didn't do anything but manipulate Sisko, plant the bomb and ice the forger. He lied to him about even contacting anyone on Cardassia and says they all died - the same lie he tells Sisko to use on the Senator later. Garak also had the data rod the whole time, and did the farce with having to find a seller to get one in order to get the bio-mimetic gel that can be made into organic explosives. He always planned the blow up the Senator, as it was always the combination of the rod plus the assassination, even if it was a perfect forgery and wasn't found out. The evidence for all this is right there in the episode, it's just a 'between the lines' thing. Garak started a war between galactic superpowers by killing one forger, blowing up one Romulan shuttle with a senator on it, and manipulating one Starfleet officer. While in exile, with no contacts or resources to speak of, save one data rod he squirreled away for a rainy day before his exile. Not even manipulating an Admiral or a head of a Starfleet division, just a starbase commander. Maybe the best Trek character ever, and certainly the most competent agent we ever see in Trek. Section 31 and the Tal'Shiar got nothing on Garak.

Shouldn't garak be getting dunked on nonstop by everybody? The cardassians were arguably lamer than ferengi.

Ferengi will forever be weighed down by their early TNG appearances. Even more so than the Cardassians.

I'd think the bigger risk is TBI-type stuff rather than damage from enemy weapons fire. Ships tend to just explode unless they are really heavily combat-focused. They also have strange anatomy - side neck bones? Abominations

Protects against "most" impacts, now largely ceremonial or something.
