Tonight's DS9 episode is the one where the bajoran demon possesses Keiko.

Legit impressed a fire caves resident wasn't frozen out by her.

"Well, she's close enough for me."

Fuckin' Ferengi, man.

Well DS9 did aired when it was acceptable to cracked open some weeb bussy. Plus science fiction [and fantasy] smut irrelevant of origin was well past the point of close enough is good enough. Moreso when coupled with "when in Rome" when dealing with human and not human(oid) species bumping uglies.
 
"Look at you. You're pathetic! A confused child, trying to live up to a legacy left by her predecessors. You're not worthy of the name 'Dax'. I knew Jadzia. She was vital, alive, she owned herself; and you - you don't even know who you are. How dare you presume to help me? You can't even help yourself! - Now get out of here, before I say something unkind."

Goddamn, Garak was savage as fuck without even trying.

Ah yes, the episode where, if you missed the beginning, you'd think it's just Keiko on one of her exceptionally cranky days.

All joking aside the director and actors really did a great job on selling the episode. The scene where O'Brian breaks a glass while watching his "wife" touch their daughter is excellent in saying a lot without saying anything.

DS9 was the perfect balance between Star Trek and television. So of course the show will never get an HD version and will be buried.

Come to Quark's.
Quark's is fun.
Come right now.
Don't walk. Run!

...so was she nicer to O'Brien when she was possessed?

You fuckers are gonna make me rewatch DS 9 and Voyager. And to think I thought Voyager was bad at the time. Compared to modern trek it's amazing. You don't know what you got till it's gone.
 
Speaking of Voyager, anyone know the story behind season 7? It drags ass for most of the season and speed runs the last 3-4 episodes. They get back to earth and the series just ends. It's such a jarring ending especially if you watch them in order and see all the care that went into the DS9 ending.

Like most things with Voyager, they had no plan or vision for how it was going to resolve. Every season feels like they were winging it to varying degrees of sucess and I think by the end of season 7 everyone working on that show was just sick of it and wanted it to be over.

SF Debris had a long running joke over this, mentioning how DS9 felt they needed 10 whole episodes to wrap up everything in the show while Voyager just said, "yolo, dey home nao!" And then proceeds to constantly shit all over the finale in his review. (Remember the one episode Seven expressed an interest in Chakotay?)
 

This has got to be one of the best sci fi romance scenes ever done. The score is simply magical and the scene itself is romantic love in its most pure form imaginable.

Odo transforms into some sort of...energy being? to link with Kira, this is after the drama with La'as and the tension created therein. Kira's request "I want to know you"-I think speaks to what people really really want when they talk about love.

Not simply physical or emotional affection, not simply action-but to truly know someone, their inner thoughts, their mind, soul and body-completely and totally, "two becomes one"-in the most literal sense.

In the real world-this isn't possible, we can't "link" with spouses or SOs, but this Trek episode shows just that. Merging, uniting, becoming one.

Sorry-the scene brings out my inner romantic.

Definitely one of VOY's finer hours, and merits more consideration in these woke times. The planet's oppressed ethnic minority turn out to be the beneficiaries of their whitewashed history, and the Doctor's account shows how they were actually the aggressors all along. For once the injustice is in our favor!

If you transpose the story onto our reality, it comes uncomfortably close to validating criticisms of Israel's fucked-up policies. But you can extrapolate your own message from it.
