S1 of DS9 is dry as the Sahara. They needed more Odo episodes. (Like that moody occupation flashback with Odo and Kira in S2.)

In “A Man Alone” he loses his job and Quark is doing Ferengi calculus about how to exploit it but still feels bad. I hate cops, but not this cop.:story:

I agree with the conclusion they made that it's a good paste, a nice bedrock for future seasons. I'd rather take dry than telling someone "just wait a season, it gets better".

They were much kinder to 'Storyteller' than my memories were. Maybe I'll rewatch S1. Nice to see them positive in general, really.

I just watched Storyteller. It is a dumb episode but it isn't the worst I've ever watched. On that note I'm happy they brought up Duet, which is true kino.

Don't be stupid. The point is that Shatner wasn't trying to be anyone else. He played a bombastic character, bombastically.

Marritza....What the fuck was he even doing? “I was Darheel’s male secretary so I got plastic surgery to look like Darheel but I still tell everyone I’m Marritza to confuse them!" Why all the layers of deception? I guess at that point Marritza had totally lost it.

The point was to get himself killed and hopefully tarnish Darheel in the process. He knew the bajorans would fall for the trick, wouldn't ask questions, and he could live out his survivors guilt complex. Sisko was the only reason he got a fair shake because he actually wanted to know if he was actually Darheel or not.

it's a nice enough TNG dumb-culture-of-the-week episode, and helps to establish that Bajorans are really fucking retarded

I think it's the guilt, the idea that he could have done something but instead followed the orders. Since Darhe'el was never caught, perhaps Marritza wanted some sort of closure for both himself and the Bajorans.
He only admitted to being Marritza at the end when Odo and Kira found out. He wanted to be judged (and executed?) as Darh'eel.

He explained his reasoning pretty well. He felt terrible guilt over being a low level functionary and cowardly listening to people being tortured and murdered every night while he did nothing. He was clearly despondent/suicidal and thought he deserved to die as punishment. By pretending to be Darheel it would achieve the goal of dying, but in his mind for a redemptive cause that made it worthwhile instead of just anonymously necking himself. Capturing/executing him would give the Bajorans closure and a feeling of justice, and it would also be a public humiliation to Cardassia and force them confront what they had done, in his view.

The key obviously is that they have to believe he really is Darheel, and letting them believe they have uncovered the mystery themselves while he not-too-stubbornly lies and tries to deny its really him by claiming to be maritza before finally confessing to being darheel makes it more credible to the Bajorans and wraps it all in a nice little bow. If he just showed up and said "hey guys im Gul Darheel please execute me" even the Bajorans would figure something is up and start digging. He was trying to serve himself up on a platter without making it too obvious.

To be fair to Bill, he was a stage actor in the 1960s. Dude had to act until you could see his emotions on a tiny 10 inch black and white screen.

That's part of why he's the scenery-chewing champion of all time. KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

(Where he's not just overacting, but playing someone overacting to trick someone into thinking he's absolutely losing it when he's masterfully manipulating him. Ricardo Montalban could also chew an acre of scenery himself.)
 
I watched the newest episode of Starfleet Academy and there isn't anything worth screenshotting. There's a locker room scene where the jock character talks about fucking a dude and the dude's two sisters. Everyone is in their underwear and the chicks are either a carpenter's dream, flat as a board and easy to screw, or ham planets. Tig Nataro and the Jemmie/Klingon hybrid are scissoring. Is Quentin Tarantino directing episode because Holly Hunter's feet were on full display. Gross. It's boring and barely worth mocking.

Also Gay Klingon was fully confirmed to be gay.

I've gotta tell you... that- that... that sounds awful.

But you should be commended for watching for us so that we don't have to.

She reminds me of a fourth-grade teacher I had that did exactly that. So I thought taking off my shoes in the classroom was okay and she did not like that. When my parents found out, they negotiated me the privilege of not wearing shoes because the teacher set the example.

Lesson being that if you don't want students to behave poorly, you can't behave poorly yourself. Simple lesson. Somehow lost on teachers.
 
She's like that hippie teacher from Victorious who didn't wear shoes, and also that show was made by Dan Schneider.

Is there any sci-fi in this sci-fi TV show?
