DS9-S1E5 Captive pursuit

I dont have much to say about this episode...I dislike almost everything here aside from the last bit where Sisko acknoledges O'Briens choice to free Tosk

[north-bi-northwest]

(Ruby is the one saying they look effective against armored targets and also very precise)

[juniperdax]

Getting misgendered, having to explain why the r-slur is bad and having a player say gay as an insult at the MTG pride event is so fucking weird. Like why go there and do shit like that???

I mega ultra killed them dead with Y'Shtola for their crimes but damn....

DS9-S1E4 Babel

Yipiiii first episode of O'Brian suffering <3<3<3<3

Look at my guy. The wettest saddest puppy

Lmao I realised when Bashir explained how the brain processes the visual stimulus of seeing a tricorder with the word, I'm learning about exactly this in my psychology paper right now.

Sad i was hopeing for more suffering for O'Brian specifically but i guess universal suffering will have to do.

Fun to watch an episode about people getting sick really badly while you yourself are suffering.

DS9-S1E3 A Man Alone

Daaaamn Gooboy WTF

can you stop doing police brutality for like a minute?

I really dislike early Odo's writing daaaamn...

Really enjoy the dynamic with Quark though. How he defends him even if they have been adversaries for the longest time, how he helps the investigation without needing to be asked to. It adds much to his character. If only he was less of a bastard to women.

Like sure the show makes it so Odo in the end was partly right to suspect Ibudan, though the Clone as far as we know was innocent as he himself admits later. So just as much as murdering your clone is murder so is abusing your power as the constable of the station.

This episode would be a whole lot better if it actually awknowledged that but alas they have to set up the solids vs nonsolid conflict i guess...

Also Bashir you have a whole boyfriend can you stop hitting on Jadzia for like a minute?

[juniperdax]

Huh, I wonder if he purposefully made it overload or if it couldnt keep up with him (with the later context)

Maybe hes also just DOWN BAD as the surface reading suggests which like I guess I lowkey get. Shes fine I suppose...

(Is unhinged abt all Dax'es)

DS9-S1E2 Past Prologue

I did not remember how soon they just jumped headfirst into the politic stories in DS9. I just wish they'd have done it differently. Like why tf are ex freedomfighter/terrorists tryna blow up a big piece of their own culture. Ugh. DS9 what are you trynaaa saaay here??? I guess they didn't know that the prophets are in there but that's not much better imo.

I also forgot though how much Odo irks me in the beginning. Like what do you meaaaan u liked it more when the Cardassians were ruling DS9 WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? I know thats most you've known thus far but daaamn ACAB and that includes the goo-man.

But hey atleast we got gay flirting Garshir content

[juniperdax]

Nothing got me like chronic illness got me, screw that noise, DS9 time while im not really able to do anything else -_-

DS9-S1E1

As far as pilots go i think DS9 might have it the hardest out of most pilots. It needs to catch you up on so many concepts.

A small list with no order:

The Bajorans and the Cardassians

The history between them

Who the trill are

What are Orbs and Prophets

and thats all before introducing any of the characters.

So moving to the actual episode. It stands out as a pilot especially in contrast to Encounter at Farpoint since Sisko is allowed much much more personal and intimate scenes. We start the episode with the worst day of his life. I absolutely adore it that once he is inside the wormhole how much of an emphasis he places on explaining linearity of time to the prophets all the while insisting how his expieriences are nonlinear even though the prophets make him face that he in part still exists in the moment when he lost Jennifer. How he Himself is incredibly nonlinear as well.

POV when the Orbaliens want you to face your trauma

And of course heres some baseball #facts while we tak about the nature of humanity lest anyone forget this indeed is a startrek episode.

Smashcut to Kira Nerys fighting tooth and Nail for her life

Girl has zero chill and her defense strategy is mostly being the single most terrifying woman this side of the alpha quadrant. Girl never change. She is literally holding the station together by the force of spite.

I so so sooo love the reconciliation between Sisko and Picard in the end. I would have loved for them to have discussion later into the show after the events of every-

QUARK WHY'D YOU DO THAT?!?!? EWWWW I always forget, god daaaamn......ugh
