Mr. President, could you draw a clock set to that time, please?
Their first instinct was to deliberately create a deadlock situation?
It's actually oddly poignant.
You know I'm right. Jadzia was just a standard overachieving top-of-their-class type of Starfleet officer, like dozens we've seen before in great detail and thousands more in passing. The only interesting thing about her was the worm. Jadzia didn't matter, just Dax.
Ezri was what every long-running series needs, a shakeup of main cast interactions. Babylon 5 is a masterclass on how to not only deal with real-world-complications cast changes but to actually turn them to one's advantage in allowing for fresh character interactions and new dramatic tensions. DS9 never really managed that trick, except for Ezri, so it got really stale in terms of main cast character drama towards the last few seasons. It was also so refreshing to see a Starfleet officer who is having a more-or-less-permanent existential crisis but is also rooted in her new post. Ezri felt very relatable, someone suddenly completely out of their depth for reasons both out of their control and permanent. We don't watch Ezri talk technobabble. We feel Ezri trying to keep a mental grip in the face of crazy circumstances. We all know what that's like. Ezri mattered, not just Dax.
I think a lot of the Lower Decks writers were influenced by Ezri episodes. There's a nervous directness / earnestness / outwardly-brave-inwardly-panicking in a lot of Lower Decks characters that's very Ezri-like. Ezri would totally fit in on the USS Cerritos.
Also, I loved seeing her explain to Worf why the Klingon Empire was (a) fucked, and (b) deserved it.
DS9 mirror universe
Fucking first of all, DS9's mirror universe?
Back to the topic.
We need to determine what effects the mirror universe has on attractions and libidos. Does it actually reverse them on some arbitrary scale, or does it somehow reduce inhibitions? Considering I'm already very centrist-bi and high on the slut scale, then this has a significant ramifications. Would I become plain old gay or straight, and also a prude? Or would I just let my dick do even more thinking than it already does for me?
Want to know how to annoy a DS9 fan?
Point out that Ezri was far more interesting than Jadzia.
You all know it's true. Don't deny it.
It'll be about the same time that the castle-doctrine obsessives start advocating for non-whites to own firearms.
I love Ghost World. That scene with the ironing board lives rent-free in my head.
Can anyone give me a recommendation for an area to visit in Prince Edward Island (Canada) for an overnight trip in July? I'll be in my ancestral Maritimes homeland then, and was thinking of doing an overnight trip to PEI while I'm in the area. I'm okay with a "touristy" recommendation so long as there's some natural beauty to see without committing to a long hike.
I want more standalone stories. Movies with an actual ending that don't take a "cinematic universe" to get the plot. Novels that aren't volume 1 of an unfinished trilogy. Graphic novels that start and end in 5 volumes max instead of 50-plus. Miniseries that tell a self-contained story that aren't part of a bigger franchise. And I think your "movie based on one event in a larger context" fits right in with that need.
Really laying bare the TERF-to-Nazi pipeline there.
I think any ideology that espouses rigid rules and hierarchies is well on the road to fascism.
I'm okay with a little elder abuse, so long as the victim is someone who spent his adult life making life hell for the working class.
