and bashir was born retarded before they illegally made him a genius/tennis star. geordi was born blind. wesley was born with a fragile sissy body, etc.

also reminds me of my favorite will wheaton story, the one where that one actor threatened to "kick his human being rear end" for not playing football. what was that guy's name? he was famous for playing mobsters and he also played the crazy genocidal space president in the episode where quark was selling weapons in his holosuites.

if i was on ds9 i would open a space liquor store that sells real space liquor, which apparently is a rare commodity. i'd also sell space weed, which i assume is legal at this point. none of that replicated bullshit. classic earth strains grown on the weed moon of tupak prime.

The Kazon are a little racist right? I feel like they're a little racist.

They were oppressed by another race of space nazis, who janeway befriends in the episode. They were more overtly sexist, which offended the stupid girl captain.

bummer! I'm just glad there haven't been any more Chakotay Spirit Animal Guide episodes for a while because as much as I love doofy stupid trek concepts, that's just too much to handle

is this the one where we learn that instead of taking a traditional entheogen like peyote or something the indians just use some sort of tricorder like machine to take spirit quests?

and that native americans were gifted a unique connection to nature by space men from beyond the moon

Picard does not say it is because of the war, his exact words are "busy with Dominion negotiations." Also, the Son'a were allies of the Dominion, so they would not have conducted a joint mission with the Federation unless the war was over. The fact that Worf had to return to DS9 means it takes place before he becomes ambassador to the Klingons. The only place it can take place is between the surrender of Cardassia and the signing of the peace treaty. This is confusing, since Insurrection certainly came out around the time of "It's Only a Paper Moon." The only explanation is that when the line was written they thought the movie might be released after DS9 was finished so they placed a vague line about Dominion negotiations in there to be up to date. When the actual release date was earlier than they had anticipated, they didn't remove it, consequently spoiling that the Dominion War was over.

there's actually an episode of ds9 that mentions the sona. i think it's mentioned in the one where the breen are joining the dominion, or right before it. weyoun says something like "the sona can no longer provide us with ketracel white" and i think it's supposed to be implied it's because of the events of insurrection

in the new star trek it will be explained that the borg are actually the reason for ww2, complete with flashbacks of hitler visiting werner von braun while drones lurk in the background tinkering with v2 rockets. therefore they are also responsible for the space race.

No, that's actually a pretty sane argument believe it or not. He was in a relationship with Kes, a member of a race who only live Nine years and she wasn't even One when they first started dating. There is also a very skeevy episode in season 2 or 3 where she gets pushed into their species' once-in-a-lifetime mating state because of ambient space-rays when she's only two or three and it usually happens to Ocampa who are four or five years old. And insists Neelix gently caress her during it, a deed he's not entirely resistant to.

The whole thing should've had the writer of it quietly led away for small chat and a severance slip. Or possibly had them placed on a government watch list.

rank makes no sense in the star trek universe, especially in the 2009 reboot where kirk goes from cadet who hasn't graduated from the academy yet to permanent captain of the ship because it was something he was meant to do or whatever.

sometimes on ds9 or tng they would actually discuss the difference between an officer and an enlisted crewmember, like the half romulan kid who couldn't wait to get into space so he enlisted and lied about being half romulan, or there are a few instances on ds9 where they point out that o'brien isn't an officer.

To be fair, wasn't the Enterprise stuffed with mostly cadets rather than proper crew because of that emergency call to action in the reboot movie? It's still dumb seeing him get permanent captain after only what amounts to a couple days work, but for the movie events proper it makes a small amount sense if he's the only one onboard who's had any kind of command training aside from Spock.

it's no dumber really than wrath of kahn where they are training cadets specifically to go straight to the enterprise and is saavik still in the academy as a lieutenant or did they send her back for additional training? who cares it's kahn.

actually i looked her up on wikipedia and it's a bunch of sperging about the plausibility of her being half romulan or some poo poo

No, they are Star Trek's response to Stargate, except stupider. Though the brawl between the Jem'Hadar and the rebels is pretty fun.

i heard this is one of the episodes in season 4 that had to be cut significantly for being too violent. my favorite part is the end where the jems are just standing around getting high on their white, staring off into space, and they're just like "well, we still have to hunt down and murder everyone else that's left on this planet. next time we see you we'll probably be trying to kill you too. later."

also that was the first episode with weyoun and it ends with him getting murdered too. the opening is probably the most memorable thing, though, because a huge part of the station is just blown up. you never see anything like that at any point in the series except when the defiant gets blown up i guess.

oh and odo mentions they stole "photonic amplifiers" i.e., flashlights

all i know is that stephen maturin, the best surgeon in the royal navy and best friend of lucky jack aubrey, would never participate in battle. even when the sophie boarded the the cacafuego against like 6-1 odds, he stayed on board and steered.

of course he did shoot one guy and then cut the throat of another after bashing him in the head with a giant obsidian dick-shaped paper weight, but he was doing intelligence work. and he fought a lot of duels, too.

not really. he would have to be addicted to some kind of space drug and his pursuit of jadzia would be far more lugubrious, also he only sort of gets into intelligence work in the later seasons. plus instead of being into space birds or whatever he plays tennis. and he doesn't even play an instrument. o'brien is the one with the cello. really there is very little connection between the two characters.

Apparently the idea in season 4 was to make Dukat a good guy but then they just went nah, and I think I even read that he was going to be a love interest for Kira but Nana Visitor said no way, because come the gently caress on.
