i know this isnt the kasidy yates show (but maybe it should be) but it kills me they never 1. show her reaction re: maquis-getting-got-by-the-dominion. her involvement with eddington was always more of a side gig but SHE LEFT HER CREW ON A MAQUIS COLONY WHEN SHE WENT TO PRISON so it's entirely possible her entire crew is dead. unless they refuged to non-federation and non-dominion space and are fine. (or like, the feds decided to pardon them once kasidy went to prison, or something, or sisko pulled strings to have them let back in). unless that happened then that bolian is dead 2. they don't show her during the dominion takeover arc and i know the dominion being near bajor affected her trade routes. won't somebody think of kasidy yates' trade routes

DataGPT

In this episode Data gets possessed by a primitive 21st century AI model. The ship's water sources seem to start mysteriously disappearing.

This was a very dumb idea I know

#he's also an alien fucker so I honestly think more than anything he wants to fuck the worm

@milesobriensrolledupsleeves

the sisko kirk hero worship homoeroticism would be entirely reversed if kirk ever showed up on ds9 thru his own time travel circumstances because the first thing that would happen is he would meet quark and the thing about kirk is there is nobody in the entire space and time of the universe that would annoy him more than quark it would immediately be like the worst day he ever experienced it would be like nonstop torment trying to understand why these things keep happening to him and then he would see sisko tactfully handling quark or god forbid see him getting quark to kiss the nagus scepter and like it would be over for him like sisko handling quark related paperwork would be the single most heroic thing hes ever seen like he would become immediately obsessed and bewitched

i wish more stuff looked like that season of doctor who where they were smearing vaseline on the camera

the noticeable overexposure of the film coupled with the tactile "ugliness" of the environments and costumes looks so good to me. genuinely dreamy

quasi-normalcy

I actually think that science fiction has done everyone a disservice by presenting escaping to another planet as a remotely feasible near-term solution to problems on Earth.

"I'm sick of all this tyranny and ecological collapse on Earth! I'm going to move to Mars, a planet with no ecology and where even the air I breathe will have to be monitored and controlled by the administrators!"

You know, for all the complaints I see about Garak being "overrated" in DS9 fandom, I actually feel like I see relatively little discussion of Garak outside of the context of Garashir. Shitposts and silly headcanons, sometimes, but not much in the way of serious and lengthy analysis. I'd actually be very interested in seeing more commentary on Garak through the lens of fascism, imperialism, intelligence work and state-sanctioned torture, queerness and masculinity, etc.

I’d eat my hat for more of this kind of thing. That essay I read the other week made my brain go pop. I only do critical-creative these days because trial and error taught me that that’s my mode, but I love to read this kind of thing precisely because it stimulates the creative. (David K Seitz’s section on Garak in A Different Trek is of course gold.)

unamccormack

Oh, I'd just add that speaking for myself, I've come to think over the years that it's precisely the grit or discomfort produced by rubbing the shitposting against the academic work that produces the real pearls for me. What happens if I take seriously some of the things that Garak does on-screen that even the show itself doesn't take seriously (I think of this the "six months for genocide" problem). What exactly is going on when I'm in playful mode and I don't take those things seriously? (Or don't hold them too far to the forefront, since it's been my experience that I'm mostly doing those two things simultaneously.)

In my next section I shall discuss the influence of Gitta Sereny...

a-k1tty

And this is why I still have this essay on Cardassian culture and identity going that I will finish one day. Because it is *fascinating* to take it seriously while still remaining in the “okay but what if” shitposting mindset.

(Academic shitposting, so to speak. In other words, humanities.)

Season 1 Kira..... I'm so sorry girl... You deserve the world...

I recently found out she was only 26 during season 1 and I'm only 26 right now and... yeah...
