Reblog this and tell me what was your biggest crying over a piece of fiction. You can be vague if you don't want to spoil.

Having Sisko and Bashir be the ones to get stuck in the sanctuary district in Past Tense was such a good call. Julian's characteristic optimistic naivety (at least in the earlier seasons) makes him this weird kind of audience stand-in, but instead of literally representing the audience watching the show, it's like he's representing the view of an imaginary audience from a place where things that are normal or acceptable in our own society are shocking, and it's one of the things that makes the episode work as really biting social commentary. In Star Trek you often get a character who plays an audience pov who asks the kinds of questions the audience might have, especially as a way of explaining away technobabble. To have a character ask "Why isn't anyone helping this person with schizophrenia??" in the same way Riker asks Geordi what's up with the warp core is pretty uncomfortable to say the least.

Julian's constant outrage, disbelief at what he's seeing, and refusal to accept things as they are is also great. He never lets you forget how messed up this is, and I think it was a good opportunity to develop his character as well. It's one of the first really traumatic things that happens to him and the way he reacts to everything really shows it, along with the strength of his convictions and his stubbornness for doing what's right which he carries on right to the end of the series. His kindness also shines through when he helps the woman injured boy (against Sisko's objections) and the woman with diabetes in the processing centre.

Then there's Sisko, who tempers Bashir's outrage with (kind of paternal) pragmatism. He doesn't accept that things had to be that way and understands the wrongness of what he's seeing to its fullest extent, but unlike Julian, he knows what he can and can't do about it, and chooses to accept that there are some things he personally can't change but does everything he possibly can with the influence he has. This Includes taking a bunch of hostages at gun point (and it's actually crazy they had a Star Trek protagonist do that lol), which Julian is visually extremely uncomfortable about, and being prepared to give his life to ensure things get better. For me, he's the very image of a great Starfleet captain in these eps.

I have to also mention the obvious fact that both characters are people of colour who, despite being a decorated commander and a doctor, find themselves immediately written off as worthless by a white guard and discarded into a concentration camp. Meanwhile their white colleague ends up in a penthouse.

just watched the voyager ep where they reveal kes only lives to like 8/9 years and im seeing ppl talk abt this like it makes neelix a creep? am i missing something but she is clearly an intelligent and capable adult, it isnt a "born sexy yesterday" trope he isnt like teaching her how the world works.. it just seems like a weird scifi choice for her species but not like it makes neelix predatory or weird? idk

[ebonysolcum]

Thank you! I was just ranting about this to a friend last week!

Kes is an alien with a short lifespan. She is an adult … physically, mentally, and emotionally. I saw some comments on this post and not knowing how long they’d been together before Voyager, and Kes saying something about not having had a chance to explore something or other before Neelix, but that doesn’t automatically mean she was a child when their relationship started. Obviously, they didn’t meet until she left the Ocampa, and I doubt she was a child when she did that.

Let’s take another example: The fan favourite Doctor Who ship is the Doctor and Rose. Personally, I can’t stand it, but lots of people are obsessed with it, and nobody goes out and says there’s anything wrong with it.

But Rose 18. That’s barely an adult. I don’t know about most people, but I hardly considered myself an adult at 18. The Doctor, on the other hand, is almost 1,000. And he has stated that he was still a child at 90. So from his point of view, Rose is still a toddler. It’s exactly the same thing.

But no one complains about this. Or about all the vampire stories. But suddenly it’s different when the older one has our lifespan. You don’t have to like Neelix and Kes together, but don’t make the issue about the age.

Or if you do, you’d better have the same compilations about the other age gap stories.
