Buck Bokai was a bum
you can start to see Tasha if you stare long enough into the Windows XP wallpaper
There was a time when you'd get shamed for even having "edition" in the field.
what did I do wrong?
ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS I fucked Kira's mom.
That is all. I have nothing else to report. Have a nice day.
Why would they put tvs on the roofs? Are they trying to inform Cardassian birds? This makes no sense
It's for the folks on the roofs I guess. They also have screens at ground level.
I want to live there
It just seems really inefficient. No wonder they lost Bajor if that’s where they’re putting their tvs.
i dont wanna live on a planet full of religious zealots
Sisko in season 6: When this war is over I'm gonna live on a beautiful farm on Bajor and just chill out as the Emissary.
Sisko in season 7: When this war is over I'm gonna throw Dukat and myself off a fiery cliff and fucking die and go to space heaven.
I personally have no issue with the prophets and the pah wraiths. Supernatural aliens have been a part of Trek since fucking Charlie X. It actually makes some sense that somewhere in the galaxy someone would learn about and decide to worship supernatural aliens. It is a rational religion because you know the aliens actually exist, as opposed to Earth religions where it's all speculative.
That’s some deep thinks right there
it had the potential to be a rational religion because their gods actually exist but the bajorans did a bunch of retarded shit with it, like their caste system.
The writers did actually do ok with that imo. Their gods exist but are not rational or comprehensible to linear beings, so the Bajorans did what people usually do when faced with such philosophical conundra: they bully each other for shits and giggles and claim it was God’s idea
You're literally on Earth
what's your point?
Do you want to live on Earth
I didn't mean the Bajorans were rational just that the existence of the religion was based on something that actually exists. Ideally they would've been more like Jadzia and called them wormhole aliens and studied them scientifically, but we're dealing with retarded Bajorans. I just meant I don't hate the concept. How it was handled is another story.
I don't realistically have any choice. But given one, I would live on an Earth without religion
The physical universe exists thobeit
the brickwork on the ka'aba is without pattern or rhyme or reason and this is maddening
the dilmerians wouldn't have done this
The tendency for alien races to have monocultures is often noted. This tendency is commonly ascribed to modest budgets, the limitations of television, or just inattention to detail. I think there might be something else going on.
When reading old science fiction stories, one is struck by the absolute confidence in technological progress. Stark Trek is heir to a particular strain of science fiction where that technological progress is coupled with what we might call social progress. Yes, the moons of Jupiter will be colonized in a few short decades, but also petty parochialisms will be sloughed off and war outgrown and left behind.
The thought was that something like the League of Nations or the United Nations would come along and drive an enlightened assimilation of nations into ever greater political structures until the desired end--a single world government. This was seen as inevitable and even desired. With humanity united as never before, formerly intractable social problems could finally be solvable. Cultural appendages standing in the way were to be lopped off.
In other words, maybe the monoculture thing is a product of the utopian thinking that informs Star Trek.
he can’t see the pattern
It’s ok, the Kolrami master couldn’t either. I miss him bros.
Kolrami
more of a bok choy lad myself
Ehh, I fucked that up. Kolrami was the guy’s name, Strategema was the game. Still miss him tho.
Rosalyn Landor as Brenna O'Dell on the TNG episode "Up the Long Ladder"
More like "down the long ladder", am I right?
So this little nibba was in charge of servicing all of them?
Jesus O'Christ
why is Dukat such the big bad guy when he was only in charge of the very tail end of the occupation and from what he says that no one ever refutes, actually cut down on the death rate?
Was he in charge of the whole occupation? Why did he spend so much time on an ore processing space station?
I don't realistically have any choice
Are you sure about that?
DUKAT: Evidence? He wants evidence. By the time I became Prefect, the occupation had been going on for almost forty years, but the planet still wasn't ready for full scale colonisation. Central Command wanted the situation resolved and they didn't care how it was done. I was convinced that a gentler hand was required to deal with the Bajorans.
I'm guessing in the time he was running Terok Nor he wasn't also Prefect over the entirety of Bajor but idk. It's all very ambiguous
DUKAT: Source? He wants source. By the time I became Based, the Holocaust had been over for almost eighty years, but the west still wasn't ready for full scale diversity. The World Zionist Congress wanted the situation resolved and they didn't care how it was done. I was convinced that a gentler hand was required to deal with the whites (taps sign).
The choice in question was about how to live, which obviously excludes the choice to end one's life. Nice try though.
The choice in question was about how to live
and the answer is on your own terms.
Being dead isn't living. Retard.
I think it is
Commander, tell me about the sensitivity of your anus
In all seriousness, her questions were highly inappropriate
her
Fuck off, chud.
It was kinda weird how much time was dedicated to holographic rights in Voyager but they barely recognized the sentience of the holodeck characters. The EMH didn't have anything to say about those Irish holodeck characters
Is Trek finally dead then?
I don't see anything new on the horizon.
I do love the 90's pattern the lead blonde babe was wearing.
Snw season 3 next month. Some academy slop and a workplace comedy.
We actually did btfo russia and china is sinking so its not improbable
snw
Still haven't even finished the first season.
Not a single character on the show gave off hetero vibes and I'm pretty sure that there was a tranny.
computer run program Talaxian_Hunt_1
Mr Neelix can you please see me immediately in holodeck 2
Will he finally be arrested?
There is a tranny. It's Spock's brother Sybok's lover and the crew respects their pronouns even when it takes over the Enterprise.
Living on your own terms can mean punching out when you decide to. It means not compromising your life.
That's because Voyager makes the distinction between sentient and non-sentient holograms, something other Star Treks sort of fail to do. Concerning Flight is an excellent episode about the difference between someone like EMH and a normal hologram.
