Michael indignant, Michael throw tantrum, Michael get what she wants.

Also Mutiny, Klingons, Mirror Universe, Time Signals. Think that about covers it.

Honestly, I love the show despite its issues. Think I might do a rewatch before I watch the finale too…

This is such a great description, and captures why I love DS9 so much. I think the fact that it doesn’t really take place in the Federation, and that the overarching plot is moved along by external forces from an entirely different quadrant, gives it the space to thoughtfully explore the depths of a well-intentioned yet exclusionary post-scarcity utopia from a darker perspective. Especially how the Federation’s ideals interact with the aftermath of a very familiar military occupation on Bajor at the same time as it stokes an external threat from an unfamiliar ‘other’ through the Dominion/Founders. And all of that is accomplished through some of the best character development of any show I’ve seen.

I just always imagined an awkward conversation between Janeway and some new species she had just beamed on board: “so uh, Captain, why do some of your crew have different rank pins?”

“Oh, you mean the terrorists? Don’t worry about it, they’re fine.”

At least Harry gets a pip! The former Maquis are forever stuck with their provisional ranks. These always bugged me…

Atlantis is top notch! Hits its stride early and stays pretty strong throughout. Lots of very familiar faces come and go. So much fun.

Yes!! This cut away made me crack a huge grin. Love this guy.

That episode was freaking awesome. I’ve watched it a couple times. The music is genuinely great, and waaay catchier than it has any right to be. I love it when shows like this let themselves get a little goofy. This plus the lower decks crossover was just perfect.

You will be assimilated. Reception is at 7pm.
