DS9 S3 E10 - Fascination

This is the kind of episode I love from Star Trek, something wacky and weird and cheesy, though I am going to be talking about how gross some of it is. I like it when my Trek gets silly.

First things first, I am glad that the Jake/Mardah stuff is over. Even if I am a little "icked" by how much he's interested in Kira. I *know* that wasn't him so, at least not intentionally, so I'm not holding it against the episode. It just gave me the ick.

I love how its been clear that Bashir and Miles's friendship has evolved, even if we're not seeing it all happen on screen, their conversation in this episode was a nice bit of banter. And then when Keiko leaves at the end and Bashir is just there to pick up where Keiko left off? They're very much best buds. But also I'm seeing more of the polyam fam thing going on and I dig it.

While I am not a fan of the Kira/Odo ship, I can definitely see how the show is setting it up and there are some cute moments for the two. Poor Odo not only had to sit through Kira walking away to be with her ACTUAL boyfriend, he had to walk in on Bashir and Kira making out in the most graphic way. Like ew, the way they were all over each other... ick lol

With that, I really wish we had more Odo/Lwaxana content. I think they would have been sweet together. He's clearly uncomfortable around her and I felt bad for how touchy she was with him, but whenever they actually stop and have a REAL conversation, they're so sweet.

I don't like any video of myself, but if I had been doing a reaction video, the scream, and clapping to the immediate sympathy that happened when Keiko and Molly stepped off the ship followed by Lwaxana would have been priceless. I have mama issues (among others) with Lwaxana but man do I love it when she shows.

Bareil being jealous of Jadzia was fun and probably the first time in the show I felt like there might be weight to the Jadzia/Kira ship. I look forward to more of these moments. Cause I always need more gay.

The Jadzia and Sisko stuff made me laugh but also cringe because I am sure Sisko was sitting there picturing the Old Man while Jadzia was hanging all over him even if Sisko sees the two as separate people. I was laughing and neuro spicy uncomfy flapping with every scene they were together lol

Miles and Keiko are once again the realest couple I have seen on TV in a while. I love how much he loves her, how far he's willing to go for her, and how much she returns both sentiments. Yes, they argued, but most people do. What matters was how they were willing to have a healthy conversation about how to fix things and how they were up for figuring things out. Together.

Also, the way Miles was about to ruin his entire career being another man not only touched his wife but made her uncomfortable? Yeah, Miles doesn't fit the "bad guy" label at all but he stepped into my favorite "Don't touch her" kinda trope in that second lol

I appreciate how easily Lwaxana accepted that everything was her fault. She's very much an anti aging kind person but she just nodded and apologized for the trouble she caused. She's grown as a character since her introduction on TNG and I love to see it.

7/10 - because it was fun af and might have been higher if there weren't big moments of ick for me

So my partner was super excited earlier that he had worked out how to make giant heart pride flags on Minecraft.

Specifically the Bi pride flag, because he’s recently come out. (Super proud of you babe ♥️) We’re both Bi and Polyamorous so those flags didn’t surprise me.

What did surprise me was this dork put all my pride flags. Some of which, I didn’t know he knew so I’m sure he looked them up... and it means so much to me.

He didn’t tell me, he just surprised me by sending these photos and making me sappy cry:

I’m so in love with this dork.

I may have just sent my partner a screenshot of a tumblr post because it was about the type of car he drives just a different model.

My brain literally went 'Oh! Skyline! It's a Moose car! I must send it to him!'

And I kinda feel like the toddler who goes 'Look it's your favourite colour!!!!' every time they see your favourite colour.

Oh yeah; just because it's been like three days and I'm still not over it: my best friend was in a wedding scene for a TV show on Stan and neglected to tell me her polyamorous best friend that it was A TRIAD WEDDING until like 3yrs later, despite regularly talking about her experiences on that set with that cast and crew, until we were both on Pinterest looking at things for our little polycules future wedding plans.

And the reason was because I said 'I don't even know how the order for our triads wedding would go, like I can kinda picture it for a quad but it's not like I've ever seen one in media.'

AND THATS WHEN SHE TELLS ME SHE THE WEDDING SHE WAS A GUEST IN WAS A MLMLM TRIAD! (It's also in a show neither of us actually watch hence why I'd never seen the scene before... and if anyone's curious, it's tiger king on Stan. It's weird af and I noped out of watching it bc ptsd and it's not my sense of humour anyway)
