in film school they’ll tell you that actors stand close to each other in old movies because the aspect ratio is different and they have less room. however, this is not true. they stand close to each other because they’re all playing closeted gay men who want to kiss

intellectually i understand that ds9 probably has sonic washing machines or whatever but i think the station should have a coin-operated laundromat (you must go to quark's to exchange cash into Quark Coins to use it) and i think there should be drama wherein someone removes garak's wet clothes from the washing machine and leaves them in a heap on a table. and of course he finds out who did it by hacking the security cameras and promptly rigs the washing machine to explode the next time they use it.

julian always forgets to take his washing out and every time someone else puts it in the dryer for him to be nice. four years in and he still believes that there's a hidden transporter function in the machines that take the wet clothes and zap them over to the dryer automatically

unamccormack

Truly awful fifteen minutes in there late one night when both Garak and Kira turn up because they thought it would be quiet but no. Garak gnawing his knuckles in agony because Kira is throwing everything in together and not sorting them into piles for different temperature washes. Will she thump me now because I’ve spoken to her, or will she thump me later because she’ll know I could have saved her, and why is this my life.

Jake and Nog do, at some point, accidentally install a hidden transporter function, but instead of zapping your washing into the dryer, it zaps one sock per wash into the transporter buffer on the Defiant. Years later, this upsets a delicate first contact situation in the Delta Quadrant when O'Brien thinks to clear out the ol' buffer while in orbit and causes the heavens over a pre-warp society to rain socks for days.

It kind of fucks with me that somebody killed ötzi the iceman because ötzi himself is like whatever but the silent presence of human hands that drew back the string of the bow that shot the arrow that killed him is crazy. the idea that there were various people involved in that situation and while one of them has had his last hours painstakingly reconstructed and studied to no end, the others now only exist insofar that an arrowhead had to get into his shoulder somehow. imagine killing someone and then suddenly your entire existence is only a vague shadow implied by the fact that you killed them. much to consider

werewolfetone

Testing the mummified bone marrow of ötzi to figure out his ancestry whole time there’s definitely another person, maybe more than one, standing in the room with us but I can never see or speak to them because I only know them through the assurance that they were there too in the form of one single arrowhead. I hate prehistory so much it’s unreal

angel-derangement

I hate it too tbh

saltingthecookingwine

There is more record of the person who shot the arrow than anyone he knew, other than Otzi. Every other peer he had is (presumably) completely lost to our history. So at least we know that someone shot the arrow. That person is remembered somehow.

devastating when good characters are put into a stupid show. you were born to fly but that evil hag of a showrunner clipped your golden wings. be free on ao3, my little dove. be free

There is a quality of books (or movies or shows) that I can best describe as “stickiness,” which is separate from being good or even enjoyable: a sticky book is one I just keep thinking about. Sometimes it’s because a book is very good (e.g. The Locked Tomb), and sometimes it’s because a book is very bad (e.g. ACOTAR), but there are also very good and very bad books that are slippery, such that when I’m done reading them they slip from my thoughts like water from a hydrophobic surface.

#this is so true

quasi-normalcy

DS9 sequel from the makers of Picard season 3

Sisko's second child is a Rosemary's Baby-type deal reincarnating Dukat's soul

Jake, contrary to his entire character arc, has enlisted in Starfleet, because of course he has

Sisko keeps saying "I can live with it," like it's his catch phrase

Bajor gets occupied again just so that our heroes need to return to the same jobs that they had 30 years ago

Kira has retired from military life (she comes back)

Bashir and Garak spend 55 seconds of cumulative time onscreen together across the whole ten-episode season

Somehow, Jadzia comes back to life; Ezri just disappears from the plot and nobody mentions her

Quips(TM), including a fourth-wall breaking laugh line about how "O'Brien must suffer"

Julian calls Section 31 "A critical division of Starfleet Intelligence"

Rom, Morn, Ishka, Cretak, and Martok all come back (only to be killed)

There's one good episode that actually pays of Tom Riker's plot from "Defiant" (and then he dies)

quasi-normalcy

The plot is that they need to find some kind of, like, magic sword that's the only thing that can kill a Pah'Wraith.

quasi-normalcy

Weyoun's alive (he turns up as the Fake Final Boss in episode 8), but the cloning process has gone wrong so he's horribly twisted and deformed; for some reason, he calls Dukat "Master"

quasi-normalcy

The Big Bad turns out to be...Jennifer Sisko, who was secretly assimilated at Wolf 359 and has become the new Borg Queen.
