“What about Klingon nonsense?”
“Believe it or not, that falls under Ferengi nonsense.”
"Despite being full of Bajoran nonsense, episodes about The Prophets are actually ‘Sisko is a good Dad’ "
Missing “Will Garak and Bashir finally get together?”
Am I just romance blind, or did anyone else not notice anything romantic between those two? People online always talk about how there is so much romantic subtext/chemistry between the two that the producers had to put a stop to, but I just don’t see it.
Rewatch the opening scene from season 1’s “Past Prologue” where Garak first sits with Bashir. There’s flirty subtext throughout.
There is some video that recuts that exchange a bit and adds some provocative music at specific moments, and I think that effectively changes the vibe to fit the romantic narrative. But the actual original scene just comes off to me as a kid scared of a potential bad guy.
Andrew Robinson, that actor who played Garak, intentionally added that subtext.
I absolutely believe that was the actors’s intent, but I still just do not see it. Other people definitely do, but I think I am just too oblivious to that sort of thing.
It’s fair to be oblivious to sexual and romantic subtext. At least you’re aware that you have that issue.
It’s one of those fan interpretation things. You can view their interactions through a lot of modern shipping tropes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JdlXt2EWnkM
When it first aired I think it was less about implied romance, and more just Garak occasionally having the energy of a queer-coded Disney villain.
Bisexual Bashir is also an easier fan reading than most shows around that time. The last season literally had a scene where Bashir accused Miles of liking him more than his wife.
Sadly it’s not that there was “so much” it was that it was “so gay.” Berman cracked down hard on that, so there’s only hints left.
Might be a bit blind i was like 15 when past prologue aired. “oh that handsy lizard is being all sexual”
I am afab though
This is Jeffrey Combs erasure and will not stand (partially covered by Ferengi nonsense but only slightly)
As written by a Cardassian indeed.
Unfortunately, he committed suicide before finishing the post.
Vic Fontaine was one of the highlights of the show for me. The episode with Nog after he lost his leg is incredible
Hey! Hey hey - Vic is canon, and you Nerysniks can make like a drum and beat it. If Big Nog has to tell you again, it’ll be ring-a-ding-ding time for you bozos, capiche?
Missing
- Sisko commits warcrimes
To protect his son. Ergo, Sisko is a good dad.
How did bombing the Maquis planet, when he was told to leave Michael Eddington the fuck alone protect Jake?
Protected him from having a good role model?
To be fair that’s a smaller subset of everyone commits war crimes
Holodeck nonsense? That’s at least one or two episodes per season.
DSM-9
Fake news. No Pah-Wraiths.
Which type was Move Along Home?
Probably needs to add “holosuite nonsense”. move along home, vic fontaine, bashir’s wacky spy adventures, etc.
True. The fine print in Quarks holosuite terms of service make it clear that it can’t be considered Ferengi nonsense.
“Quark’s Bar, Grill, Gaming House, and Holosuite Arcade holds zero liability for any bodily injury, dissolution, localized gravitational anomalies, safety-protocol “glitches,” or unexpected temporal displacement occurring within the holosuite program. Any subsequent medical expenses, loss of limbs, or funeral arrangements are solely the financial responsibility of the patron. Rule of Acquisition 17 exceptions apply for Ferengi patrons in good standing with the FCA.”
Ferengi
It defines categories. As it stands head and shoulders above everything else as the best episode in the entire franchise
What about
- The fascists won (but they’ll be defeated in the next episode)
