This guy that I vaguely know posted on Facebook about how he was watching DS9 again, and put “Garak and Bashir bros for life,” which was SO jarring after being exposed to the shipping goggles side of fandom

Worf’s (and Klingons’ in general) angry and deeply irrational loathing of tribbles is comedy gold

DS9′s grasp of religion and its cultural role was so simplistic and [fundamentalist-]Christian-centric that it was kind of laughable

Question: has anyone done the “would you fuck a clone of yourself” meme for the DS9 characters

I Love Julian Bashir

I’m glad Star Trek offers us a future in which there is more Shakespeare and less baseball

Is anything more disappointing than the fact that we never got to see Captain Boday, the man with the transparent head

I think Dukat is that rare villain that I do enjoy specifically /as a villain/, without actually feeling any personal affection for him (and in fact, more often than not outright loathing him). 

“Waltz” was a fascinating episode precisely because it really took the psychological cage of rationalization he’s trapped himself in and made it transparent, stripped away his polished, amicable veneer and showed all the ugly, deep-seated prejudice within him. And he ends the episode in continued self-delusion, still believing that he’s on a righteous crusade. He’s certainly not a likable character to me, but he’s a deeply fascinating character in terms of how he showcases the careful cultivation of public image and the psychology of bigotry.
