But where is Garak!?
He wouldn’t provide a picture, and somehow nothing turned up on his file. He said there weren’t any photos of him. Odd guy, but he made me a beautiful shawl for my trouble…
He is where you are not looking.
Everywhere.
This does Jake dirty.
He eventually becomes a war journalist whose stories will be read (after the conflict, thanks to Weyoun) quadrantwide.
Wesley turned into a space hippie and fucked off forever.
I also think it’s a little harsh on Odo, lol. Someone has to do his job.
Yeah I don’t like it but I do struggle to argue against it. He cares about justice, and wanted to make sure bajorans got fair treatment (in his area, at least) under the cardassians. But then again he worked for them.
Likewise he got a bit anti-“solid” racist from time to time and had a vaguely sexual relationship with the female founder, but then went back the link, calmed them all down and kind of stopped the war.
I feel like it’s one step forward but then also at least one step back.
Still my favourite character so I guess I’m just a hypocrite lol
Complex characters in complex situations make the writing more interesting to me too.
ACAB. Abolish the space police.
An episode with Quark leading a protest like that on the promenade would have been amazing.
His job of always helping the fascist oppressor side? Because that’s what he continuously does.
Like many middle-aged hippies who lose their way, Wesley eventually became a cop.
What do you mean cop? He became space-Mozart-Jesus
Yes, but then
Picard and Prodigy spoilers
he became a spacetime cop.
It was Prodigy, not Picard. Wes wasn’t in the last season of Picard, and I can’t even remember him being mentioned even though his family was a big part of the season.
In addition to Prodigy Wesley was in the Season 2 finale of of Picard, not the whole series’ finale. My mistake! Thanks for the correction.
I guess I wouldn’t really call that a cop
Dude…too fucking true.
I tried to ask Morn about his archetype, but the guy never shuts up! I couldn’t get a word in edgewise!
I’m offended by “involuntary celibate”
Bashir’s celibacy is entirely voluntary due to his pursuits of Miles and Garak
I want Miles x Bashir to be cannon so bad. I get that Miles is a married father, so a divorce might not be easy for him, but a fling? A sultry night out with the boys? Pleaseeee :3
I want Miles x Bashir to be cannon so bad.
Miles x Bashir is canon. It’s just the exact details that are left to the imagination.
But Garak x Miles got confirmed in Lower Decks. I just want Miles to be mentioned as part of the relationship :(
Anyone who gets to date Leeta is not involuntary anything.
“One ticket from Nürnberg to Buenos Aires” had me rolling on the floor. Excellent!
I feel like TNG, DS9, and VOY all had a specific way to mix character attributes.
Like Data wants to be human, Odo wants to be human, Tuvok and Seven are both made to be human.
Worf, Belana and Worf have anger management issues that require other characters to quell.
Harry Kim, Weasley, and Jake are all struggling to fit in.
Picard, Sisko, and Janeway are so competent that it gets in the way.
Broccoli, broccoli, and Miles are all tortured.
Q, Nelix, and Quark are all alien perverts.
Odo, Seven, and Data all have over powered abilities.
Jordie, Old man, and Kes all have less useful powers.
These mixes, allow a good variety of stories to be told, often which ask similar questions using new characters. I know you’ve all thought about this before.
Odo, Seven, and Data all have over powered abilities.
Bashir sighs with relief that nobody’s caught on
Bashir sighs with relief that nobody’s caught on
He’s just fascinated with frontier medicine!
Stumbles over his own feet
A lot of the non-human characters are following the Spock blueprint, which I appreciate: the fish-out-of-water who needs to fit in, while plotlines do the Gene Roddenberry “we celebrate our differences” thing.
Yeah, I agree, they’re all kind of breaking up and riffing on attributes of the original 3.
MORN!!!
Yelled when I read O’Brien
Oh god this hit me at the right moment, as soon as I hit Dukat I just fell apart in a mad cackle.
“larceny gremlin” is my favorite
