I dunno, I've been taking meds for depression and anxiety for years and I'm pretty comfortable saying I still exist.

"It reminds me of the Grand Nagus's staff!"

You are the only other person I've ever seen bring this up, and while I like the whole revisionist-history-years-in-the-future angle and the evil!crew was fun, I really feel like they should have come up with an entirely different conflict to be revisionist about, because the episode as aired really does read as "this…

I agree with everything here but the "like" is for "with the fury of a Puritan in Elizabethan England."

I actually misremembered this episode as ending with everyone taking the pills anyway, so apparently I didn't think of that sort of thing as too heavy for DS9. But I was surprised (and actually a little disappointed, on a, you know, dramatic level) when it didn't…

"There is no third planet!" "DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?"

I've heard it suggested that instead of the Welsh dragon, a revamped UK flag could incorporate the St. David's cross, which is the same shape as the St. George's cross but is yellow on black. On the plus side, this would be easier to mesh with the existing design; on the minus side, dragons are cool.

YES. I think it must have been — that Richard III would only have aired a few years previously, and the camera pan over the bodies is basically identical.

Historical tangent of the day: the king's wimpy, foppish son grew up to be King Edward II, who is most famous for having contracted a fatal case of poker-through-bowels, although that probably didn't really happen. In real life he was actually a rugged outdoorsy type and was often criticized for hanging out with…

Liked for "douchebag monkeys."

What, like you've never seen a genius's weiner before?

NOW IT IS EVEN MORE SAD.

I like speed skating because it's like there's an entire sport for perving on guys' thighs.

I think she looks like a younger, girlier Kira Nerys.

How many pieces of furniture did Worf smash over the run of TNG? Quite a few, as I recall…

"In the Cards" has always brought joy to my heart as well.

I do give them a lot of credit for that — the whole "having your mental illness treated destroys what makes you special or creative or good at your job or whatever" trope is one of my most hated of all tropes, so props to the writers for not going to that well. I said in a thread higher up that I don't like the…
