RE: that stark trek apartment

The flat looked like a poo poo hole before and the guy clearly put a lot of effort into doing the place up. Imagine if he actually just put that effort into making into a cool looking flat a normal person would have.

Also I can't remember any of the actual living quarters people lived in having that much strobe lighting

I have a theory Voyager fans are the worst because there is seriously a loving character that's like 5 years old or something that fucks the crew, including a plad wearing children's show mascot reject.

Actually writing that makes me glad I hate that loving show, I've only made it through one episode in it's entirety and I was waiting for it to end.

He did until someone decided to make him cartoonishly evil at the end because they didn't want people sympathising with a space nazi. No room for grey areas in the 24th century!

I really liked that episode of DS9 where they trigger an old Cardassian defence program that was designed to put down a Bajoran uprising - the best bit was how sincere Dukat seemed on the recorded announcements when he's asking the Bajoran labourers to give up or further lives will be lost. The implication that Dukat spent hours recording veideos for every forseeable scenario and going all out emoting the part for each one is pretty spot on for his character, I reckon.

Thanks for answering my question, I wonder if anyone bought it.

God damned how did people know he was a pedo... I mean just because of aatrek or like, if someone converts their living space into a space ship it's because they want to lure kids there? I was like a little pissed that people were like "yea he's a pedo" and it turns out to be true god drat.

he does ds9s moral ambiguity thing real well. he was a liberal softie by cardassian occupier standards but was still, you know, a cardassian occupier

I have to admit I always find that absolutely hilarious.

They would never call a main character a terrorist today, even if that's exactly what they were. And not only that, have them unapologetic of it....

... and then the series ends with terrorism kind of saving the day. Sometimes I think DS9 is nothing but a dark satire of Star Trek, and I'm OK with that.

thats kind of ds9's intellectual anchor. where tng was like the perfect Space Liberalism fantasy, ds9 grounds that and plays with it by juxtaposing that idealism with the realities of non-federation frontier life and the tensions that result. it does the same thing later on in the series with Section 31, where it turns out that uh no the federations purity of heart doesnt win the day, its willing to do the same sort of conniving poo poo that everyone else is, they just pretend otherwise b/c of Ideology. theres a bunch of episode where sisko or other federation dudes have to do some real dirt to get what they want, and the conflict that results is what makes things so compelling



whereas voyagers intellectual anchor is "what if we filled a starship with poorly-written sociopaths and cut them loose from starfleet" and there is no conflict or introspection at all

voyager even failed to actually make use of, uh, the whole premise of the show (that voyager got stranded in the middle of nowhere) beyond having other federation ships show up less regularly

the ship looked as shiny as on day one till a few episodes before the end and aside from an episode on integrating the maquis into voyager's crew at the beginning it's just regular alien-of-the-week bullshit with occasional "this helps us go home quicker" excuse plots
