Garak: 👉
It’s a Cardassian made station; what do the Cardassians do without their own Miles O’Brien? 🤔
let it be eaten by voles
They produced the necessary suffering with Bajoran slaves. Not as efficient as Miles so they had to get a lot of them
Why go to the trouble of draining all 12 slaves in the case when you can just take one shot of Keiko
Part of the problem was the attempted merging of Cardassian and Federation technology, which likely complicated everything. But I like to think there was a “Miles O’Brien” running around Empok Nor, kind of like: That one Klingon who was super into science
In an episode of Enterprise there was a Klingon lawyer who talked about the honor of law and finding the truth. I’m sure you could definitely have a respected Klingon scientist character and still make it sound Klingony with the right motivation. “To best the mysteries of nature and discover the true nature of reality is an honorable calling” or something like that.
The Lower Decks/SNW crossover references a similar thing with Orions. Everyone assumes they’re all pirates and scoffs at the idea of an Orion science vessel until Tendi says “well somebody had to build all the starships!”
Dude even remarked that Klingon culture was previously less focused on combat/conquest.
Seeing only the thumbnail at first I was sure that lynchpin piece was going to be “the plot of babylon 5”
Im only just now watching it all the way through (caught it frequently on air growing up) and this is even true in S1
Also please tell me Sisko gets better because man he’s just… all over the place
The beard. Once the hair goes away and the facial hair comes in shits off the chain.
Keep at it. Ds9 is the best trek.
Also obligatory worf mention.
He does get better as time goes on. In Season 1, his wife just died, and he got dumped in some back-woods station, and is super depressed.
Also, the actors jive better as time goes on.
After a while, you also just sort of accept that Avery Books acts how he acts and that this means Sisko is how he is.
“Stylized,” I think the kids call it.
Avery Brooks is The Sisko, and The Sisko is Avery Brooks
No spoilers, so don’t worry.
All of the characters get better as the show progresses. Something for you to look forward to is the entire episode dedicated to Miles’ suffering. You’ll know not when you see it. That’s all I will say in the matter.
Insert Irish muttering
The PBS anchor?
