Honestly? cowardly writing with making Joran Dax a person who is inherently violent.

The person Joran murdered was the doctor who recommended that the Dax symbiote be removed from Joran. This would have been fatal to Joran.

If Joran realized the enormity of the lie the Joining Commission was trying to cover up, him being afraid for his life makes perfect sense.

But they didn't go "actually, Trill society doesn't value people with mental illnesses. They (wrongly) think being mentally ill and joined will taint the worms somehow"

they went "actually, murderer and criminal is a type of person that exists and if we accept them at all they'll do more murder and more crime"

I'm reblogging this because I know a lot of my followers will really love the way you did Quark's jacket. They love jackets so much.

The fair people of instagram liked this one a lot so I dutifully will bring it here as well

for all his nobility and grace chakotay is also by far the senior officer most likely to sell a crew member (very possibly tom) to one direction

[respocked]

T'Pol: Captain. It is against regulations to sell Malcom Reed to One Direction. (she would look the other way if Archer did it)

Spock: It would be illogical to sell Doctor McCoy to One Direction.... Although perhaps it would be somewhat pleasurable. *whimsical flute*

Riker: Ha, we're not that desperate yet. But I got their contact information - start packing, Data! *wink* (he's joking, he wouldn't do it)

Kira: To sell- that's despicable! To do that, we'd be no better than the Cardassians! Let me talk to these One Direction, I'll show them where they can stick up their offer.

Michael Burnham: We're not selling anybody. We're a crew, and a crew solves things together. Hail the One Direction.

Saru: Well- if it's you think it's necessary, Captain.... Are you sure there's no other options?

Chakotay: Listen, Tom, I don't like it either. But you understand the situation.

Asking political candidates to tell me their favourite episode of Star Trek so that I can judge the quality of their character.

"I really think that 'The Last Generation' finally offered the big send-off the TNG crew deserv--"

"In the Pale Moonlight"

I respect your opinion and I understand where you're coming from, but I don't know if I want you in my government, no offence

[quasi-normalcy]

This might be unfair, but if you give me an answer like "City on the Edge of Forever" or "The Inner Light", I'm going to assume that your handlers are stagemanaging you to be as broadly appealing and inoffensive as possible.

Answers that I would consider good from an elected leader: "The Measure of a Man"; "The Drumhead"; "Past Tense"; "Homefront / Paradise Lost"; "Living Witness"; "Critical Care"

Starfleet fires you, but your station has another operating force, and lord knows your coworkers will exploit any loopholes to keep you on as the station's CMO.

Kinda based on this post from @autisticburnham

[hellostuffedtiger]

I imagine if you took pride in your achievements believing they were the product of hard work only to find out at 15 that all your talent was built on a lie it would take all the joy out of most victories. Like competitive tennis, for example. At least if you were a doctor, your victories would provide material benefit to other people, which would make them meaningful regardless of the honesty behind how you attained your skills.

They both reached for the gun phaser!

I think the thing with Worf is that he has always felt alienated from his peers. And I think as a kid, he attributed that to being a Klingon raised in human society. Which is, of course, part of the reason he clung so hard to the idea of being the perfect Klingon. But as an adult, when we see Worf with other Klingons, it is clear that he also feels alienated from them. I think a lot of the behavior he attributes to Klingonness is just autism. Like, yeah, being stubborn, obsessed with rules, and truthful are not inherent Klingon traits like Worf wants to think. Worf is just like that. Because autism. And I think this also plays a large part in how and why Worf struggles to connect to Alexander. He expects him to be honest and logical because that is how Worf is and how he believes Klingons to be. But Alexander is not those things because again, many traits that Worf attributes to Klingonness are just Worf traits. (And yes, I say logical, Worf is a character who can always explain his actions, a child doing something and then not knowing why is foreign to him).

kes said: you will know pain.

[leohtttbriar-deactivated2025082]

i think the episode downplays or doesn't realize how cruel kes is being here. and like. i love that she did this. but she's the only one on board the ship that could do this with the level of cruelty she does, bc she's the only one who genuinely does not question the emh's personhood. still she pyschologically tortured him and forced him to feel unpredictable pain and experimented on him without his consent and i love how it all adds up to the dark-side of kes's personality and proclaimed values. like, here's what it means to value personal and direct experience of something above everything else. here's a logical conclusion to someone who thinks her own personhood is limited for not being allowed to experience new sorts of pain. she saw his bedside manner was lacking and reasoned: "it's because he's never been a patient, i.e., suffering while completely reliant on someone else." and because she ran away for the explicit purpose of no longer living under someone else's care, with little-to-absolutely-none levels of regret about it, she figures she knows how to teach this person some person-ness except it's totally bonkers and it's not like the doctor becomes less condescending about anything anyway.

the writing probably was trying to just portray kes as an uncomplicatedly compassionate person who wanted to teach the doctor an acceptable lesson. but really. to me. this is a crazy thing to do to someone you think of as a Person with Feelings and it sort of implies that kes's ethics are deeply whack.
