    Sisko got his god-like aliens to actually help.
    Take notes, Picard. You never talked your god-like alien into evaporating an entire fleet.

    Picard's god-like alien helped him get a girlfriend!

    Then promptly stole her from him.

    Sisko didn’t convince them to help so much as he acted so recklessly they were like

    This crazy motherfucker is gonna get himself killed unless we intervene

    It's certainly the strongest link between Kirk and Sisko...

    I mean, to be fair, I'm pretty sure Worf is the only honourable Klingon.

  • MancingtomMancingtom Registered User regular
    Somebody here once said that Worf is Klingon Captain America, someone who embodies the ideals of their people far better than their people ever have, and that level of insight is why I hang out here.

    finally got to the baseball episode. i was a little saddened that
    worf didn't hit a home run, what's all that bat'leth swining for if he can't even hit a round ball flying 100+ mph

    Martok gets a lot better by the end of DS9. I think a mixture of exposure to the Federation, everything that happened to him during the way, and Worf, managed to shift his perspective on things a whole lot.

    I'd really love to see something that shows what the Klingon empire might be like a few generations later if they keep having leaders like Martok pop up

    He's just not engaged. You hit the ball, it flies away, somebody catches it, and it comes back. So boring.

    Now, if it was some sort of creature covered in venomous spines that exploded if you didn't kill it sufficiently quickly by bludgeoning it with a blunt club? And the only way to verify the kill was for somebody to catch the flailing deadly corpse? Now we're talking a sport Klingons could get behind.

    He makes his feeling on the game clear:

    What's the point of a contest where the loser's still alive at the end of it? Such a thing is without honor.

    Worf's for real best line in that episode is "Find him and kill him!" when Rom is looking for the player he's trying to tag out.

    Take Me Out To The Holosuite is like the teen beach party episode in Avatar. Comes near the end of the series, almost nothing to do with main plot, way better than it has any right to be.

    Valiant, Profit and Lace, and Time's Orphan has got to be the worst 3 episodes in a row

  • PailryderPailryder Registered User regular
    so the genetically enhanced are back and it is such a sad story all around. I thought Bashir had some growth after his infatuation with Jadzia but nope, he's back to instant overkill.

  • danxdanx Registered User regular
    Everything that involves Bashirs enhancement reveal is terrible except for Garaks quips. It really hampers his development and in some cases regresses his character.

  • The WolfmanThe Wolfman Registered User regular
    I love how and why Garak is mad at him. "You little shit, you've been holding out on me!"

    I kind of like Valiant for the tremendous downer ending, and dumping on the idea that the longest shot tactic is the best one to use.

    Just watched Time’s Orphan.

    10 minutes left: holy shit that’s the most interesting way to write a character out of an show I’ve ever seen
    5 minutes left: aw, they chickened out

    It's interesting how every time Red Squad shows up you know they dun fucked up somehow.

    That episode was a better exploration and commentary on war in the federation than anything 2 seasons of STD has been able to dig up.

    Siege and "...Nor the Battle to the Strong" are two of the prime episodes that really elevate DS9 in my eyes. It's also an interesting way to show the grimness of war through the eyes of both Nog and Jake.

    I really loved the pairing of Jake and Bashir in that episode and I'm sad they didn't do it more.

    Jake and O'Brien actually worked well too.

    The Wrath of Khan, forever identified by my wife as “the one where they put those things in their ears”, remains a masterpiece, and on the big screen it’s even better. A fine evening.

    That was my clearest memory of it as a child as well, so that tracks.

    Ever since Nog joined Starfleet he has an extremely unfortunate tendency towards militaristic jingoism.

    He’s overcompensating due to insecurity.

    To quote Mass Effect, Nog feels he has to be better than the best just to be above suspicion.
