I liked B5 in the 90s but when I tried rewatching it recently it seemed embarrassingly bad. DS9 still seems as good as ever. I don't know why.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:I didn't mind Vic. But like several other things in DS9, I thought they milked it a bit too much; especially near the end. The Nog PTSD episode, though, was well written and one of Vic's finest hours. So is Vic a sentient being that they murder every time they're done with the program, or did they just hand Nog's care over to the 24th century version of The Algorithm?

AlBorlantern Corps posted:When Vics program isn't running it's equivalent to bin being in stasis, not dead Are you sure? It's kind of a meaningless distinction anyway because even if they don't usually reset programs regularly, they clearly don't have any moral problem with doing so. When the station is under attack nobody is rushing thousands of holodeck programs to the escape pod.

It's really, really not hard to grasp a society that both does not rely on money for survival but also has it for luxury goods and services. What's a luxury good, in a world without consumerism and luxury brands?
