Kirk was kissing black ladies back when that was basically illegal. What the fuck is this? Don’t blame the “they put politics in my Trek” crowd on Trek crowd, man, those dudes were always just idiots.
Yeah conveniently the photo they chose left uhura out…
Probably just a coincidence
About that picture… Is that chief O’Brien?
Yes, it’s from Deep Space Nine Season 5, Episode 6 “Trials and Tribble-ations”.
Wow lol
I should probably give DS9 another try
It’s great when it was on TV. I thought Sisko was a great, friendly, fatherly figure, and Odo and Quark were great fun.
After having seen some eps with my wife, and reading stuff on the wiki, fucking hell. Sisko is basically Douglas MacArthur, and takes picard’s “first duty of every starfleet officer is to the truth” speech and sees it as a personal challenge to defy it as hard has he can, while screaming “You betrayed your uniform!” to any maquis he sees.
Which, to be fair, the maquis are not in the right, but fucking whatever.
The charector arcs in the show are complex, especially for the early 90s. Sisko is largely an honorable man, but the nature of the roles he assumes strain him, force him in difficult directions.
The marquies in a lot of ways are personal to him. A dear friend defects to them early, and then he gets rolled later by others he trusts. He basically has direct bad blood with them.
Some of the other choices he makes? Fucked up, but to the shows credit, they lean into it and dont pretend hes the good guy when they happen.
Yes you should.
Yes. The character arcs are the best thus far. It’s less “police procedural” than the prior two. And Sisko is the best Captain.
Especially when the first season episodes open up with a story arc involving nationalism, immigration and xenophobia.
definitely. I also had a hard time starting it, but it gets really really good after the first couple episodes
The trouble with these Tribbles, they’re fuzzy and they’re cute but I can never find the hole.
I mean what?
It’s funny, i just watched this episode for the first time!
Yeah, they nabbed a screenshot from one of the best episodes of DS9
DO NOT look up screenshots of Terry Farrell in Trials and Tribble-ations if you are not prepared to immediately fall in love with her again
Yes. That’s from Deep Space Nine. S5E6 Trials and Tribbleations. A neat mashup that puts the DS9 crew into the original tribbles episode.
It’s from DS9’s Trials and Tribble-ations
Here’s Making of Deep Space Nine Season 5, Episode 6 “Trials and Tribble-ations”.
Don’t skip the commercials.

That’s the first thing I wondered
@PhilipTheBucket They get such a shallow understanding of things, and then get all butt hurt when other people provide a much more logical interpretation based on the specifically stated intents of the original show creators.
