This is Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise speaking. We’ve entered the orbit of a planet not terribly unlike our own… save that it is exclusively populated by petty old queens.

They seem to have accepted Commander Spock as one of their own.

a ridiculous concept i cant get out of my head is the ferengi having an attitude toward vulcans thats basically "these guys would be SO COOL if they didnt SUCK" bc they could be making absolute bank with their ruthless logic and intellect and they have the second sexiest ears in the galaxy, but noooo, they're too busy deepthroating the federation's boot. BUT if you took a vulcan baby and raised it right, with good ferengi values...

cut to quark showing up one day wearing a baby bjorn and sisko or whoever asking him "why do you have a vulcan baby 🤨?" "i acquired it." "you mean adopted?" "yeah yeah whatever. lets go, t'axevasion, time to launder money with daddy"

The scene in shore leave where Kirk slips up and says Spock's name during a backrub seems completely random until they beam down to the planet and you realize that the whole idea for the episode is that the characters need to control their thoughts or else be confronted by a dangerous fantasy. yeah

'90s Trek had the ideal budget for a Star Trek show. TOS had no money and had to make do with an ice cream cone glued to a dog. Disco has too much money and you can tell they don't have to control themselves at all. the happy medium is a show that overspent on sticking tubes to a guy last week so this week there's something creepy and mostly invisible happening in the same room we always go to

“reminder that x character did terrible things” spoken not in like a scoldy or judgemental way or that they need to repent for their sins or whatnot. but as in “i love my guy who sucks. why are you taking the sucks out of my guy. that’s literally the best part about them.”
