Yes yes the inherent tragic of the Garashir dynamic, spies, different sides, devided loyalties etc etc IGNORE THAT

If I were Julian I’d be wearing a shit-eating grin AT LEAST 40% of the time. I have the biggest secret on base. It consumes my every move, dictates every muscle twitch. He should be able to read it in every sentence I speak. And this Cardassian SUPERSPY doesn’t get it?? Years of interrogation tactics (those lunch debates were mild psychological warfare) and he just. Thinks I’m nifty. Oddly fascinating. There’s something alluring about me and he can’t put a finger on it. How mysterious.

I’d be cackling. It’s the biggest inside joke. Yes it’s also based in severe trauma but everyone is wary and afraid of this guy. He’s the incarnation of secrets. And he just. Sits there. Eating lunch with me. Weekly. None the wiser.

Do you think Julian takes a moment when it all comes out to just laugh hysterically at Garak

In the episode “Bar Association”, when Rom remarks to Dr. Bashir, “ You don't understand. Ferengi workers don't want to stop the exploitation. We want to find a way to become the exploiters.” he echoes a key theme of Paulo Freire’s 1967 text, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, in which he states that, “during the initial stage of the struggle, the oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors, or “sub-oppressors”” and further observes that “this phenomenon derives from the fact that the oppressed at  a certain moment of their existential experience, adopt the attitude of “adhesion” to the oppressors.”

Much like Rom, Freire goes on to notice that, [t]o surmount the situation of oppression, people must first critically recognize its causes, so that through transforming action they can create a new situation, one with makes possible the pursuit of a fuller humanity.” Surely in here, we can forgive Freire’s use of “humanity” and replace it with a broader “personhood” to include the needs of the ununionized Ferengi laborers. In this essay, I will...

the reason Deep Space 9 randomly has so many Klingon battle holoprograms is because they're really Cardassian battle holoprograms quark had cheaply reskinned when the Bajorians took over. the only ones who have noticed are jadzia (who thinks its funny) and... worf.

Me watching TNG for the first time after just finishing TOS: this is some decent TV, pretty entertaining, i like the characters and lots of episodes are pretty fun :)

Me rewatching TNG after watching DS9 for the first time: idk :// it's missing a certain something (Jadzia Dax) that would really improve the show (Jadzia Dax). Like idk there's just a certain je-ne-sais-quoi (Jadzia Dax) that DS9 has that TNG seems to be lacking (it's Jadzia Dax)
