Not to mention pretty much the entire second half of DS9 in general. No hippies in space there, and if there had been, they would have died bloody.

Sisko = greatest star fleet captain ever. Does the right thing until it's time to not do the right thing.

He kinda was the space hippie when it came to the Maquis.

Who were right about everything.

LMAO Yeah, they were, weren't they?

Eddington was lowkey the best non principal character arc on the show as it pertained to the realities of the Federation.

Yep. I also liked how he really got under Sisko's skin, and Sisko basically ran with it. Eddington's Javert comparison really wasn't very far off.

Fun fact - it was after that episode that I went to see Les Miserables in the theater for the first time.

Really, that was the worst weakness of Sisko in he held the grudge against Eddington because he betrayed him in a way that made Sisko look like a clown and because he (at least indirectly) implicated Kassidy with the Maquis.

But really when you step back.. Sisko's arc to that point logically should have led him to at least sympathizing with the Maquis' motivations (but not their methods when they started firing on Starfleet ships) given his Cal Hudson defecting early on and how the Federation handled Bajor... though that last part is a bit of headcanon since we didn't learn about Sisko's bosses bitching about him not shirking his status as the Emissary until long after the Maquis were wiped out.

One thing that some Trek fans misunderstand about Sisko contaminating those Cardassian worlds is that they don't seem to realize that he is only playing up his role as Javert because he knows Eddington has a desire to sacrifice himself as a noble martyr. Some fans howl "Sisko tried to commit genocide" but I think it was just a risky gamble that took advantage of his understanding Eddington's psychology.



Random DS9 hottake since I'm doing a rewatch: Far Beyond the Stars kinda sucks.

"Racism is bad" isn't a new topic for Trek, and it's usually handled in a hamfisted manner. Here it's typically on the nose, but it's message is kind of undercut by placing the story in the late 40s /early 50s. The message becomes "racism was bad...in 1948."

It was fun seeing the characters out of make-up, but it's pretty obvious that some members of the cast are only good at playing their regular roles.

The "Trek is all a story by some unknown sci-fi writer named Benny Russel" is insultingly bad. It's a ripoff of St. Elsewhere's ending to begin with, it pisses on the other series, and it completely comes out of left field. Just bad all around. Did you know that their were discussions about having the series finale end with Benny leaving the Paramount studio?

Just watched the 5th episode.

Really enjoyed seeing 7-of-9 (Jeri Ryan). Damn, she looks great. How does she maintain her hotness when every other chick form Star Trek has declined into various states of non-hotness?

Because she was hotter than any of them to begin with.

Usually smoking hot models retain hotness into their 50s if they don't get fat.

We've all seen the recent Yasmine Bleeth pics, right?


She's hit Kelly Lebrock levels of chonk.


I can barely jerk off to her now.

Mildy scared to see a pic of Jolene Blalock now.

LMAO

It appears that she's sucked the lifeforce from her pup

Why am I suddenly thinking of the Grinch's dog trying to pull the over-full sleigh?
