Once upon a time I was invited to an event on a foreign US military base. Not only was the food several tax brackets above me, the entire place looked like they cut a chunk out of California and shipped it over. That’s one of the benefits of the world’s cushiest welfare program and why so many people in the military

Narrator: you’re a fuckrard

Coulson with a Tommy gun.

I would if I got reception to anything. Instead I'll hope it's on regular Hulu the next day like everything else on NBC

I think it’s more her disappointment in not being able to communicate with the Prophets that led her astray. It fuels her jealousy of Sisko being the sole emissary to the Prophets which then drives her to ally with Dukat and the Pah Wraiths.

This is why i don’t publicize my prices on social media. If Elijah Wood came to my town, I’d follow him around asking him things like if it hurt when Gollum bit off his finger, and then he’d stop hanging out in the villages of us common folk.

Now playing

“Because I don’t want to end up like my father!”

I liked it that Kai Winn did have a few moments when she was kind of admirable and you remembered she did resist and survive the Cardassian Occupation. There was the scene where she coldly put down Weyoun after he suggested they were “very much alike” (“no”) and when she stopped Sisko from sacrificing Jake to defeat

The absolute best Dukat scene is in the occupation arc (I think it’s either Sacrifice of Angels or the one before it) where Dukat and Weyoun are discussing Dukat’s time as governor of Bajor and Dukat starts lamenting how there isn’t a single statue of him on the planet. And Weyoun is looking at him and you see his

It says so much about the writing staff and about the actor, Aron Eisenberg, that they decided to do so much with Nog. It chokes me up thinking about what a great character he became. I’m so sorry Eisenberg died young. I would have LOVED to see him on Picard.

People go on and on about Khan, but Dukat is better by a mile.

Well, maybe. When he (unconsciously, while possessed) kills Jadzia, he mourns entirely sincerely.

I have never come so close to vomiting while watching a TV as when Winn and “Anjol” (Dukat) start hooking up. I believe I seriously considered bleaching my eyes. It was perfect and horrifying and the writers should have won all the awards for how much it disgusted me.

He is a villain who doesn’t believe he needs to be redeemed. At no point in the series does he ever feel remorse or regret for what he has done. Right to the end he believes that all his actions were morally justified and rationally correct, that everyone else would have done exactly what he did in his place, and that

Nog, man.

Yeah, part of me wonders whether Louise Fletcher was pigeon-holed into roles like these because of Nurse Ratched, but she’s so damn good at it :).

I think Winn is an interesting foil for Dukat. They both have underlying natures that inhibit their ability to seek redemption. I think some part of Winn genuinely cares

That’s one of the things about DS9 compared to other Trek series. Overall, it has fewer really bad episodes, and even the bad episodes aren’t that bad.

And here’s another great thing about DS9. The list of secondary or recurring characters who are not only well-acted but get actual character arcs is incredible. Jake, Nog, Rom, Leeta, Winn, Ross, Martok (LOVE Martok), Weyoun, the Founder, Damar, Kor, Eddington, Joseph Sisko, and above all, Garak. What other Trek

Gods, Homefront and Paradise Lost never stopped being relevant, did they...

The must-watch list is more than half the show. I think that’s the sign of a good show.
