There's nothing wrong with Jadzia Dax the character (and thank GOD she consistently turned down Early Bashir).

Maybe I'm just being unfair, but I never cared about Vash. Not here, and not in any Next Generation episode. She always came off as a half-baked attempt at a femme fatale, with all the rough edges sanded off to fit in with the Trek universe. So having Q acting rejected and desperately trying to get her back made him…

Maybe that's why Q doesn't comment on any past interactions with Cardassians in his visit, he can't recount any good stories about them getting pissy and trying to threaten him.

I always read that as a psychological scar from the Time War. Not that he ever really liked guns, but his PTSD from that has amped it up to neurotic, unreasonable levels.

The slow turn of the farmer's speech from admiration to contempt and hatred is the best part of the joke to me.

To be honest, the more I watch of Young Jake in the first season, the more I like him and his relationship with Sisko. The only special thing about him is that he's the commander's son. He's not supposed to be exceptionally smart, athletic, funny, or charismatic-he's a kid who gradually becomes a young man. No more,…

Move Along Home is a TOS script someone found behind their desk one day and said "Well, no need to write something this week!"

At least on the promenade there was a reason for a walkway beyond "I wanna look down into the antimatter explosion furnace that drives us around!"

I definitely agree that "Babel" is a standard Trek plot, but I liked the fact that the cause of the virus and its effects were relatively low key. "Relative" in that they eventually threaten to kill you, but it's not by turning your blood into minerals or making your heart explode. And just because people couldn't…

Sisko, his eyes red, his arms-

The Cloneasaurus is for when a client wants to get kinky.

I liked his goofiness and overeager nature in the pilot, when Kira puts him in his place right fucking quick about wanting to practice medicine on "the frontier."

To some extent, the problem is the role of a science officer on a station like DS9. I'm sure it's a standard thing to have on any Federation space station, since you don't want to have a traveler bring in some random alien doohickey (the proper technical term) that ends up breaking the whole place because no one knew…

Now I have the image of O'Brien and Bashir strolling around the station rapping "Can I Kick It?" as he fixes things with just a glance or a sharp kick.

I meant to do something like this a little last week, but then things got a bit crazy.

I'm confused, a little aroused, and definitely going to stay armed around our simple tailor.

To be honest, based on what I saw of the show at the time (I have not been going back to rewatch, at least not yet), I thought that Justin would be for evil, and Ben for good. Not as conscious choices, but as the two sides that have invested in them. I liked the idea of a preacher gaining unwanted powers of darkness,…

Mark Millar is someone who almost always writes in hyperboles when it comes to characters. So when you give him someone who's already mythic like Superman, and who has some truly staggering enemies such as Luthor and Braniac, those hyperboles seem to fit naturally, which makes the story work much better.
