the episode where he helps Nog with ptsd is good, though

Can’t get behind the Vic hate. Probably one of the best holographic characters in ST history.

yeah i loathed vic fontaine except for the episode with nog, which is one of the best episodes of the series

ooof just imagining joe piscopo trying to cheer up nog by replicating himself into a million jerry lewises.

Hey this is pretty good

I watched the S2 3 part opener and it felt to me like the BSG season that opened in the prison camp--a serious impressive arc that gets kinda haplessly left behind for more episodic stuff as the season proceeds.
Bashir is fuckin annoying
Dax is a better idea than she is character
Odo's a fuckin fascist
I'm super into the colonizer/colonized storylines that I feel like deal with morally tangled stuff well but man could I do without seeing more than a few minutes of quark ever again.
Wasn't that impressed by the introduction of the rebel colonists that everybody says is great

Been sick all weekend so I just tore through all of season 2

This series would have been even better if Roddenberry's original vision of the Ferengi as big-dicked sex villains had lived on.

Ugh nog is the most annoying
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 18 December 2017 05:37 (six years ago) link
Get ready for people to quote those words back to you when it's season six and Nog is great :)
― Millsner, Monday, 18 December 2017 15:53 (six years ago) link
The fact that DS9 has an entire Ferengi family drama embedded in it isn't immediately evident (and all of the stuff with Quark's mom and the Ferengi leadership is ridiculous) but Quark/Rom/Nog have as many scenes about family as the Siskos by the end
― mh, Monday, 18 December 2017 16:01 (six years ago) link
its really just the ferengi squeal noise that i hate and nog is the most high pitched of all
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 18 December 2017 16:06 (six years ago) link
get ready for one of those squeals to make you cry later on in the series
― scoff walker (diamonddave85), Monday, 18 December 2017 16:40 (six years ago) link
okay i'm now halfway through the third season and i still don't get it
quark just hacked into the personnel files to create a kira sex holosuite program and lol we're gonna let that slide too
lwaxanna's 'condition' just made everyone try to bite each others' chins (wtf stop 'kissing' like that)
the t. riker show had (vague) promise but turned out lame. so far the only a+ episode is secret android chief o'brien imo
― mookieproof, Thursday, 28 December 2017 06:09 (six years ago) link
Secret Android Chief O'Brien was awesome

good article
― Nhex, Monday, 22 January 2018 21:08 (six years ago) link
Wow, agreed. The Sisko & Son relationship is palpably affectionate, and the actors' chemistry is obvious. I didn't know that Brooks became a father figure to Cirroc Lofton, but in retrospect it's definitely there.
― Kirk Cobain (Leee), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 01:22 (six years ago) link
He’s said as much at cons. They are still close. You could tell on screen, it was genuine.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 01:24 (six years ago) link
Yeah. And I love all the little flourishes they inject into their scenes, like Ben passing a dish behind his back to Jake when they were sitting down for dinner.
― Joanna NEU!some (Leee), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 01:31 (six years ago) link
just watched the ben-and-jake-fly-ancient-bajoran-replica-to-cardassia ep last night -- first appearance of sisko's goatee! -- and yeah totally
i'm definitely settling into things here late in s03 and looking forward to more! still have to zing the stupid stuff (like the space fireworks at the end of the aforementioned episode) tho
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 02:25 (six years ago) link
Head shaved, goatee on, ready to go.

The reason Paramount made Brooks grow out his hair and shave his goatee is so sad and stupid.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 20:18 (six years ago) link
wasn't it because they thought it made him look too similar to his character in Spencer for Hire?
― Nhex, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 20:19 (six years ago) link
I read it in the Trek oral history, and yeah, they didn't want DS9 viewers to confuse him with Spencer For Hire.
― Joanna NEU!some (Leee), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 22:32 (six years ago) link
I'm watching DS9 for the first time. I gave up on season 1 a few episodes in and just watched the episodes considered the best. Now I'm into season 3. I'll say that the end of season 2 from "The Maquis" onwards was excellent.

Got a little emotional when Worf was accepted into the House of Martok. Could not give a shit about 8000 people ceasing to exist due to timey-wimey shit. Acceptable reaction y/n?

That was a largely stupid episode IMO, save for Sisko squeeing over a babby.

That's it, I've reached my limit, I finally have to say something. "Warrior" is three syllables, not two, and the first one isn't "war".
― lana del boy (ledge), Friday, 6 April 2018 07:53 (six years ago) link
war-ee-orwar-your
ok, I'm still guessing, what's the three-syllable version without war as the first? wah-ree-yor?
― alvin noto (mh), Friday, 6 April 2018 14:31 (six years ago) link
Ah the minefield of explaining pronunciation on the internet. I guess depending on where you're from and how you say them they might rhyme, for me the first vowel sound in warrior is shorter than war, rhymes with dot not door.
From http://www.ipachart.com/ I think it's more ɒ than a ɔ or o. Clicking around there is hilarious btw...
war-yer is general martok's preferred and oft-repeated version.
