>>216892737The original actor was even more of an offensive stereotype but he killed himself right before filming started so they were pressed for time. The showrunners always have a rolodex full of Jews on speed dial for situations like this.
>>216892700>>216892710>Shranice ShrandA daring Hegelian Synthesis.
>>216892947>rolodex what is this, 1994?
>>216892700>Sends his best bro into death>Almost kills his son>Cucks him after death by stealing his wife>Brainwashes youngsters and sends them to kamikaze death missionsWho can stop this madman?
>>216893131People like you don't understand the militarism of Star Trek at all.Why do you watch? Because "TNG is comfy" or some other such nonsensical retardation?
>>216892737incredibly kino jewish actori caught this episode on H&I, and i only now noticed in the HD remaster that a tear actually rolls down his cheek when he recounts his "terrible" childhood (which was a lie, he was fucking with data)
>I wasn't the one who closed the door. I didn't proposition her and I certainly didn't try to rape her.
>>216893175Is Starfleet a military?
>>216892737Stop noticing
>>216893124The episode was made in like 1990. >>216893131Early Picard was a comedy of errors. He almost got humanity wiped out by the Q at Farpoint. He also got his security chief killed, nearly got a 15 year old killed several times, lost control of his ship to said 15 year old, freed his Second Officer's evil twin. The list goes on.
>>216893302Yes. People call it a "paramilitary" as a cope but the reality is that it's a militarized arm of the UFP organized for defense that uses military protocols and has its own separate court martials and military tribunals which are legally upheld by the broader UFP government.Military, paramilitary, peacekeeping force -- semantics when you follow military protocols and have separate military law.
But what if Kira really was a Cardassian all along?
>>216893471i remember reading in the book they actually wanted to do that but couldn't figure out how or something like that
>>216893471bashir would have known
>>216893180Data has a built-in lie detector so it wouldn't have worked anyway. I don't remember if that was a plot point in the episode or writers were being forgetful.
>>216893528Go on.
>>216893623Huh?
>>216893749The cardie makeup gave Nana severe claustrophobia
>>216893749no wait, it was even sillier than I remembered. It wasn't Kira>Eventually, Wolfe began to spin a DS9 story around the theme. The story ultimately became "Second Skin," but it went through a major change in personnel before it reached production. "My original idea," he recalls, "was that O'Brien was a Cardassian, but he didn't know it. He'd been replaced during that Cardassian battle he was in twenty years earlier (TNG's "The Wounded"). The replacement was a deep-cover agent who'd been given O'Brien's memories." >This radical concept would have meant that the Miles O'Brien fans first met in "Encounter at Farpoint" wasn't human, that his shipmates had unknowingly been working with at Cardassian, and that his loving wife Keiko had conceived a child with... That threw a wrench into Wolfe's plot. "O'Brien has this kid, and i Couldn't figure out how to explain this human-looking baby," Wolfe admits. "So then I thought - Kira - Kira could be a Cardassian.">Like O'Brien, Kira had a long antagonistic relationship with the Cardassians, which would emphasize the irony in the revelation that she herself was a member of the species she despised. As the story moved forward, however, the probability that Kira was actually a Cardassian faded. Wolfe notes that this original ending for the episode had Bashir telling her that he really couldn't tell if she was Bajoran or Cardassian. THe aired ending is much more definitive, with Kira explaining that Bashir has confirmed her genetic structure is enitrely Bajoran. Observes Wolfe, "It really doesn't matter whether she's a Cardassian or not. She's Kira Nerys and that's who she believes she is. That's what's important."
>>216894012Dodged a bullet there
>>216886788Ah yes, Spock's famous... green complexion.
>>216893793Data can see heart rate and blood pressure. He should be able to tell when somebody's misleading him.
hello /trek/ how was your christmas?did you get anything cool?I sure as fuck didn't because all the star trek toys melted on the boat from china and it'll take until february to reprint thembut otherwise it was nice and nobody bought me any nutrek shows on bluray so that's good
>>216894245>I sure as fuck didn't because all the star trek toys melted on the boat from china and it'll take until february to reprint themkek I heard about thatbummer
>>216894245>all the star trek toys melted on the boat from chinanot all of them cuz one of my Weyouns got here. no strange transporter accidents or anything
>>216894245Put them in the freezer, that'll stop them melting
>>216894252oh well, at least nacelle has no problem reprinting figures unlike mcfarlane toys, then one of their shipments gets stolen by pirates and the owner just says, "win some, lose some"I still think that was an inside job because the co-founder of mcfarlane toys bought gamestop canada two weeks earlier and all the shipments to those stores got through, spiking orders to gamestopsbut the feds seem to have shrugged and said some mysteries are best left unsolvedstrangeanyway, a delay of a couple months isn't really a big deal and nacelle is making the best they can of the situation and been clear communicating the issues and their plan to fix things
>>216894321hmmm they did say some shipped out before they were stoppedthat weyoun might be worth its weight in gold someday since it's a wave 1 transporter malfunction survivornormally I say free your toys from boxes but that one you may want to keep mintif you plan on dying with your trek toys and don't care about resale value can you take a pic? curious how they look in person and how they scale with diamond select's figures
>>216894403I ripped my riker playmates costume putting it on a lesbian Barbie but w/e
>>216894455i took this the other day just to look at him outside the box. the only thing weird to me is that the other head is literally green and I can't rack my brain for any actual reason that might be. the little white capsules might as well be microscopic there's no way you'd find it again if one fell in the carpet
>>216892700Commander, tell me about your Christmas ornaments
>>216892700lol now it just looks like she has stupid tattos like every girl.
>>216894539ah tight tight tight the print on his clothes looks better than prototypeI suspect the 'melting' narrative is a cover for a lot of QC issues like botched paint jobs since that's been their issue for a while and they got the prototypes and shipments in pretty quick ordertransporter malfunction is a funnier truth, let's stick with thatkinda cool that if you get multiples of weyoun you'll always be able to spot the survivor with the green headhave you tried posing him yet? curious how the articulation islove the extra hands, and I always keep fiddly accessories in plastic baggies so they don't get lostthat's such a nice figure for $30damn they even got his sleeve pattern inside the joint, most companies wouldn't bothercool stuff
>>216894670nah I didn't try to pose him. I just took a quick look at put him back because I was getting ready to leave for Christmas >that's such a nice figure for $30literally my first impression lol. I'm really happy with the detail
>>216893369So was early Picard wrong to not help the druggie planet and the drug dealer planet in any way?
>>216894905Based, can't wait to laugh about this and shitpost on 4chan
>>216894879the detail, the accessories, the price, everything is about the line is fantasticso far we've only seen renders and prototypes so your pic is the first time I've felt like my faith in them was justifiedthe owner said he wants to make 1,000 trek characters into figures and ro laren and selar are on the listthis is going to be remembered for the rest of time as the definitive trek toy line and the last love letter to classic trek we'll ever see
>>216894905Star Fleet DEI , where the only white men are gay.
>mfw the owner makes 1,000 trek characters into action figure mini dolls
>>216895080might be cool to buy a couple of those nutrek characters on clearance and impale them with pikes for holodeck propswhat do klingon pikes look like?
>>216895080what is this rick & morty looking garbage?
>>216894316i think Cyclone awakened something in me because I wanna watch more movies with a cute nerd guy and sexy jock girl couple that are adorable and make a great team together. i know it sounds tropey and like it's been done a million times but I feel like there's not the sincerity that's in this movie. the way they talk to each other and look out for each other warmed my heart
what the fuck am I gonna do with 1,000 star trek toyseven if most of them are kept in storage that's 1,000 star trek toysat 30 star trek dollars a pop8 figures a wave, maybe two waves a year is 16 figures16 figures a year means this line would run for 63 yearsnothing about this makes sense but we have to get to ro laren and selar, that is all that matters
>>216895218Shranbae > Spooggbse
>>216895267>what the fuck am I gonna do with 1,000 star trek toys
>>216895269>Spooggbsecome again?
Important DS9 episode on tonight for the watchalong bros: A Call to Arms
>>216896116I will watch
>>216894012>>216894138If this were nu-Trek it wouldn't have even occurred to the writers that it wouldn't make sense because of O'Brien's child. They wouldn't have thought that far and would've went ahead with it.
>>216894154he was green in several episodes I think they just stopped bothering with the makeup after a while I dunno
>>216896368They would've forgotten that he even had a daughter
>>216896368>>216897102They would've made O'Brien related to Scotty
How can the different species like humans and klingons in Star Trek mix?
>>216897730The usual way.
>>216892700Is Deep Space Nine even worth watching from the start?Seems kind of like the low budget afterbirth of TNG but I only ever caught a couple episodes
>>216898294Absolutely
>Mr. Barclay, you wanted to speak to me? Something about 'crime statistics?'
>>216898774The N Degree
i love this episode. and all Barclay episodes.
Riker is so FUCKING inappropriate
>>216899047Only in modern society.In the Trek universe, it seems that everyone is pretty open to having sex with whoever as long as they don't fuck up and cause an incident.In the episode where Picard falls in love with one of his subordinates, he actually says that there's no regulations against it.
wtf happened?
>>216899310that has nothing to do with it
>>216899352inverse relationship between hair length and booba size
>>216893302It is, but the distinction between military and non-military is shown to be effectively pointless in galactic politics, as the Klingons and Romulans regularly target civilians to no real remark from the Federation and when it's sufficiently pushed the Federation is willing to target non-coms too like during the conclusion of the Dominion War.It's about as relevant as being a knight is today.
The DS9 Watchalong commences forthwith!
This is NOT a drill Tune in to H&I immediately to resume The GREAT /trek/ DS9 Watchalong.Finally DS9- I mean Terok Nor is taken BACK! For Cardassi-aaaaah I mean...The Dominion...
>>216899613I fucking love the Dukat/Damar/Weyoun interactions during the occupation arc
>>216899661
>>216899613the DS9 Mega Powers
Jake is a good character and I like him
>>216899613Hi. We're the Dominion, we're your new friends
>>216899831just a peaceful sovereign nation
Great JAG Watchalong when?
>>216899981every day in /trek/ we're watching JAG...offs
>>216899690How come we don't get actors who ooze kino like this anymore?
oh man I forgot how he blamed it on Cardassians lmao
>>216894187why do you even bother posting such obvious bait
>>216900033cuz its all nepo babies now
>>216894187not DataGeordi, and also the Incel Council when you tell them they're not funny
>>216900048They're... jittery.
>>216898362>my feet hurt>I wish I was back in my cloning tube>I bet these spoonheads don't even know I can hear every word they say
>>216900033talent drought
Quark is based. That's right, I said it.
>Dax commanding the Defiant
>This isn't turning out quite the way I planned. :(lol what did you plan? literally no resistance?
man I really have no patience or tolerance for this Dax/Worf shit the 2nd time watching
>>216900569it's never bothered me at all, probably because Worf/Troi was so much worse
>>216900438at least she didn't crash the ship into a planet
>>216900583i feel like it's worse on DS9 because there are so many other better characters played by better actors I'd rather be watching
Jadzia Dax taking barbed Klingon cockThen he gets cucked when Ezri shuts him down
>>216900613well you're definitely in the minority there as Worf was brought on to help the ratings which meant most people didn't care to watch those other characters as much as him
>>216900569For me, it's Kira and Odo.
>>216900642>well you're definitely in the minority therei have no problem with that I can talk about how much I hate Worf all day if I had to but that's neither here nor there
This is a CARDASSIAN station, JAKE.
Dax should've turned Barclay's pelvis into dust
>>216899352Why would anyone choose a hairstyle like that?
>>216900656Yeah, after watching it through the first time it's hard for me to care about Odo/Kira considering Odo was just desperate for sex and immediately turned his back on everyone after he got some.
muh minefields
Anyone else think it's crazy how they had self-replicating mines? I mean you'd think a weapon like that would be lore-breakingly useful. >Klingons showing aggression towards a sector? Set up a minefield>Romulans sending ships through the neutral zoneSet up a minefield>Borg cube incoming?Set up a minefieldThat's got to be against the Space Geneva Convention or something
>>216900832It IS lore-breakingly useful honestly. But like cloaking technology, it's just brushed over even though it's a massive advantage
>>216900832well if you didn't have only one incompetent delusional narcissistic douchebag who does nothing but jerk off all day working on how to dismantle it it wouldn't have been such a big deal
>>216900702looking ghetto is 'being empowered' now
>>216900832Minefielding the exit of a wormhole seems a lot more simple and straight forward of a task than minefielding the entirety of a 3D space border.
>>216900832the only reason the minefield was useful was because it was blocking an extremely narrow chokepointtrying to do the same thing to the klingons or the romulans wouldn't work because they could just... go aroundthe borg would probably just tank a few hundred and then shoot a plot beam to disable the rest, or "adapt to them", whatever that means
>>216900984>>216900999>Muh 3D spaceThink about swimming in the ocean, if you want to get from point A to point B are you really going to swim all around to get to your destination? No, there are still preferable paths that are easier to navigate, less conspicuous, and save more fuel.
>>216901057You put a minefield on that preferable path. So they now prefer to go a different way. You put a minefield on that one. They prefer a new one. You minefield that. So on and so on. Until all the 3D space border is minefielded.
>>216900999>>216901057>>216901153But ultimamtely they disabled the entire thing by firing one laser into it.A very very shitty minefield
>>216901153As it turns out, enforcing border policies does work.
>>216901216no they had to shoot each one one by one to disable the replication units first remember?
>>216901216After they disabled each of the mines replicators individually.
>>216901237>>216901243no I did not remember, still shit
>>216901057>if you want to get from point A to point B are you really going to swim all around to get to your destination?if the alternative is blowing up, uh, yeah, no shit I'm gonna go around?
>>216897730They have a universal dick translator, it casts the perception of alien genitals to your own expected norm and you don't notice the massive injuries and parasites.
Dukat twiddling with Sisko's baseball over the next 6 episodes is incredibly kino as well
>>216901601Sisko left that to fuck with his head and it worked even better than he could have imagined
>>216901601apparently marc alaimo is a very talented pitcher, given that he served as the pitcher in the b5/ds9 crew/cast baseball game. I already knew grodenchik was an extremely talented batter.
>>216901601>What do you suppose this thing is, Damar? It has names written on it, could it be some kind of trophy of war?>I'll be honest, I don't know enough about Human culture to even guess.>Well put down the Kanar and guess with me.>I'm not sure Gul, maybe some sort of Earth sex toy.>Hmm, I've never seen Sisko with a woman.
>>216901686Dukat's already so obsessed with Sisko he would have looked up what baseball is by this point out of curiosity
>>216901711>What do you call it? Base... uh, ball?
>>216901725i always thought it was kino in Civil Defense how he makes a big deal out of flicking it off the desk
>>216901762hmm speaking of which I should remaster civil defense

Old men Yaoi in my star trek?
>>216903457They do move well together
>Yes Captain, according to historical records, this is Khan Noonien Singh, a warlord from the ancient Eugenics Wars of Earth>Oh btw I fucked his great great grandaughter lmaoTRIPE
>Khan Noonien Singh?>Of course, I served with his granddaughter. This was shortly after I went on a zany adventure with my African-American human sister.>She was a good friend.
>yes we can make a tng/ds9 episode>yes we can use the sets>making a plot relevant to ds9 with odo, or sisko, or some ferengi fun? >no way only bashir is avaliable
>>216904108There were contractual issues with Shimerman.
>be worf>constantly ask to go on long periods of leave without notice>said leave results in massive changes to the klingon society/government that picard gets involved in to the federations determentinspires me to tell my boss to fuck off when I want a day off
>>216904044STD is officially non-canon now.
>>216904308Just one such incident would completely kill Worf's career. I'm surprised he wasn't demoted/relegated to an outpost.
>>216904380Murders a guy and the federation is all cool with it
>>216904308It's not like Picard just lets him take an extended leave of absence to go jerk off for months.Picard was involved in the succession, knew the destabilizing influence of the Duras family, knew that his house winning out would possibly compromise the Federation alliance and the Khitomer Accords. It was a calculated move to let Worf go win a Klingon civil war and restore his family name. It definitely had massive upsides for the UFP.
>>216904528Well now he is, while in uniform, extorting and assaulting some alien over the DS9 balcony while his fellow officers watch.
>>216904528btw how many klingon houses are there and which are the most powerful?
>>216904539All part of restoring Worf's tough guy image with the DS9 switch. This was in his first appearance, was it not? Or second?>>216904569Presumably thousands and thousands.>which are the most powerfulThe ones with representation on the High Council I suppose
>>216904585This was in TNG actually during Birthright
The House of Duras (known for cunning, Romulan ties, and civil war), House of Gowron (rivals to Duras, sought Chancellorship), House of Mogh (Worf's lineage, historic rivals of Duras), and House of Kor (ancient warrior lineage)
>>216904673House of Martok is way more powerful than any of theseGowron's house was never shown besides him. Far as we know, he had no heirs. House of Mogh is defunct. Worf joins House of Martok. Martok becomes High Councilor.Kor was honored as a Dahar Master but Kang is the one of the three old guy Klingons who had the most meaningful and important career in the KDF.
>>216904539Wasn't this James Cromwell, Zephram Cochrane himself?
>>216904904yeah, you can tell by the tired eyes.
Oh, it will continue and yes, you will watch it.
>>216905074It isn’t this persons appearance that offends you. It’s the fact women dominate STEM and you are a failure. Thats what bothers you. The depiction of people who are better than you. It is what it is you little fuck. Your ilk is dead. It’s unimaginable. It would be one thing to hate stereotypical drug dealing killer blacks who don’t pay child support but hating on a black female that looks retarded is just beyond me. You joke about being evil and hateful. I get it. Let me know where you live so I can body slam you on YouTube tough guy
>>216905074I'm going to watch it without supporting the streaming service it's on solely to mock and ridicule it on here in /trek/. There is no way this turns out anything but a conplete trainwreck. No one is hyped for this, even whackjobs that suck off Paramount for a living are saying it looks like dogshit. I genuinely cannot wait for it to begin warching it with you faggots.
>>216905223Anon I seriously doubt anyone here is being paid to post here. I’ve said it 100 times. If anyone is getting paid to post here it is literal Chinese/russian propaganda mules. And they’re getting Pennie’s and that’s it. I’ve tried to put you fools on money for years but you think I’m compromised by money. You’re a fucktard. Association with this place at face blue would burn any sponsorship or add deal with any sponsor or fundraiser. You are straight up schizophrenic and delusional for real. I feel legitimate guilt for propagating your mental illness for my amusement. Believe it or not you can in fact chill. No one here is a paid paramount employee, you detailed the imaginary objects of your paranoia and two or three of us played along at your insistence. We never had a gang or a discord we never planned anything we just hang it’s called friendship you wouldn’t understand. You need a cult and manipulation to get human interaction
>>216905340I'm not sure if you replied to the wrong poster or what, but I never said anything about you being a paid shill. I just said I am going to watch it without contributing to viewcounts myself. There was no implication beyond that.
>>216905400>even whackjobs that suck off Paramount for a living >Hurr durrThis is where I check out and only post songs for a month. You are either so shiitty and disingenuous it’s genuinely impossible to talk to you, or you are fucking retarded and you go around saying things and then pretending you didn’t ten minutes later
>>216904285>source: my ass
>>216905454Anon, that had nothing to do with you. I was commenting on it being radio silence from most Paramount fan accounts on social media, that there's no hype around it whatsoever.You really gotta stop twisting my blanket statements about current affairs into personal attacks. If I wanted to do that, I'd just post the personal attack. I'm far too apathetic to bother putting secret codephrases or whatever into my posts.
>>216905747you should to stop replying to the schizo
>>216905747>>Anon, that had nothing to do with you. I was commenting on it being radio silence from most Paramount fan accounts on social mediaYou’re confused

>>216900832Infinite energy to replicate a system that itself has an infinite self-replication potential is inherently lore-breaking. Zero-point energy was a throwaway line that could have excused maintenance power, but the implication is still that that's powering the entire minefield, so they're taking more energy out of nothing, enough to produce new instances of mines which can gather enough energy to create more mines indefinitely. A perpetual motion machine crossed with the grey goo scenario.However, if they had said "the mines are drawing power from the wormhole", that would have worked, because it's believable that it could produce a functionally (but not technically) unlimited amount of energy. And since all a newly-replicated mine would need is a cheap reactor/battery system and a replicator, it's conceivable that enough energy could be stored in a distributed network that no amount of weaponry available to the dominion could have been expended to destroy the mines at a faster rate than their energy storage allowed for.
>>216913535>However, if they had said "the mines are drawing power from the wormhole", that would have workedmakes sense to me
>>216913312Delet this

>>216913535You don't need a minefield, just one big mine that will collapse the wormhole with an explosion like in Past Prologue S1E03. That way the Dominion themselves will police the Gamma end and stop any traffic.
>>216914951i have arrived at the season 6 part of the book and I'm pretty disappointed because instead of the normal format of Episode Description -> BTS info, there's just one giant section talking about the entire arc. I guess you could argue the episodes end up being discussed in about the same detail but I dunno. I don't like things that are different. but I guess it's like this because the writers and producers made a huge deal about how confusing it was to coordinate and that it all blurs together for them anyway.
>>216901601>>216901642>In the props department, Sisko's baseball may have been the item thar was most likely to be needed on the set on any given day during the arc. "The ball was to remind us of Sisko's presence," says Behr, even when Dukat was in command of the station. >"We see Dukat playing with the baseball all the time," says Beimler. "The ball is everything. The ball is the station, his job, his responsibility, the burden, command - everything. When Dukat is thinking about that, he's concentrating on the things that matter to Sisko. It's very important, consider the resolution of the arc, or the last sequence of 'Tears of the Prophets.'" >In the end, Dukat fails, and the baseball is returned to Sisko. "It was a great moment," smiles Behr. "The baseball didn't work for him. There was no mojo in that baseball for Dukat."

He's leaving.">he doesn't tap his comm badge first>it doesn't chirp>the implication is that Worf is either listening to Picard's comm as an open channel the whole time>or that saying "Mr Worf" is somehow a push-to-talk button
>>216917378I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
>>216913889Hubba hubba now that's what I call ART.
There are a bunch of episodes across series where people take their combadge off as if the internal sensors won't locate them. You would think the internal sensors would be good enough to not need the combadge
>>216917464Of course they would be. You can fire phasers from orbit with pinpoint precision.
>>216917088What annoys me most about every nutrek show is no-one ties their fucking hair back. It's basic shit, you can tell the writers have never been in the military, police or any other organisation that requires the tiniest amount of professionalism.
>>216917645Also I don't know who made this webm but goddamn it is absolutely perfect in terms of size and clarityEveryone who makes webms should be trying to reach this level of quality
>>216917464I'd imagine that the program that tracks location of combadges is separate from a program that has to scan to find a specific individual, otherwise you'd never lose a holopad because the computer would just know where it is all the time.

>>216919549No one is stopping any of these cutting-edge science fiction geniuses from creating their own IPs with their own characters, setting, and ideas.We just want them to stop changing Star Trek so they can tell the kind of stories they want to tell.Just go tell your story somewhere more fitting and it'll probably go better for all parties involved.
>>216919600But it sells a lot better when it's Star Trek, and the Federation has android slave labor in a post-Measure of a Man world and they all go postal and shoot up Mars (or they were hacked by Romulans sabotaging their own rescue effort, for some reason, it's not very clear and you can tell different writers had their own spin)

>But my dear, we're legacy characters.
>>216919873there's a part in the book with Salome Jens saying that even though it's very blatant in this arc of episodes, she had never really thought of her character as a "villain" before. she is just someone who genuinely believes the Alpha quadrant inhabitants and their way of life is "wrong" and thought of her as only ever caring about bringing Odo back into the fold.

>>216919669>Federation has android slave labor in a post-Measure of a Man worldThey had that since they upgraded the emh to Andy Dick
>>216919920I love the idea that the Founders are so incredibly paranoid that they NEED to conquer the Alpha Quadrant, because even without the wormhole, the Federation would probably expand into the Gamma Quadrant in about 300-400 years
>>216919920Well from their perspective, they're not villains at all. They come from a proven system of government where they've maintained order for like a millennia -- they're not going to let some fly-by-night moralist culture tell them they're wrong when they have so much evidence to the contrary.If anything they would just view alpha quadrant races as backwards and naive, peoples who have largely not yet learned the cruel lessons of history
>>216919962>Gets told that Trek is not exclusively for the old>Posts reaction image>Of a man who died six years agoOΣTRAKA
>>216920042>they have so much evidence to the contrary.they have like some incidents 1000s of years ago where solids were scared of them and they used that as an excuse to subjugate and control them in every way possible since then. they have literally NO evidence or logical justification for why they are the way they are they're literally just born that way and I think that's fine and makes them kinda interesting villains because Odo is like that too and has to actively fight against that nature.
Many anons in /trek/ are beaming up and beaming out but will they ever beam back? I ask the thread as it dies.
>>216920042I also love the idea that the Dominion, which has been around for about 1000 years, was defeated by the combined efforts of several societies who just valued their freedom a little TOO much.
>>216920090Sure they do because after they subjugated the solids and most of the quadrant, they basically had a thousand years of relative peace and prosperity. Sure, they did so out of unreasoning paranoia and fear but if it works it works
>for no reason at all whatsoever, changelings were banished from 109 sectors
>>216920151they're never at peace because they're inherently paranoid and scared of anything they can't and don't control, which is just about everything. they are not peaceful they're preoccupied with going around to all the planets within the "Dominion" and bringing them to heel. are you the same guy who keeps asking why they didn't just mine their side of the wormhole to keep the Federation out? you sound retarded.
>>216920146>*laughs in Pashtun*
>>216920187I'm pretty sure it's explicitly said that the Dominion has reigned for something like a thousand years. Their society is a picture of almost perfect order. The Jem'Hadar don't even begin to dissent until they encounter warrior races in the alpha quadrant. The Dominion is presented as a system of order which absolutely works, it's just contrary to our ideals of freedom and self-determination and so we faced the inevitable cultural clash.>are you some other guy ive argued with beforeNo, Weyounfag, I'm not. And why do you always get so hostile and call anyone who disagrees with you on anything 'retarded'? You've pretty much killed the DS9 Watchalong with your penchant for destroying all DS9 discussion that runs contrary to your own opinions and you persist in being an asshole even when it's obvious you're interacting with people who are almost always congenial with you in turn.It's a bit weird, mate.
I wish there was a series released 20 years ago dealing with the political ramifications of the Dominion retreating within their borders and the power vacuum left in the AQ after the Federation, Klingons and Romulans were beat down
>>216920073You're too clever for your own good.
>>216920269>The Dominion is presented as a system of order which absolutely worksthere's multiple episodes showing how fucked the inhabitants of various planets in the Alpha quadrant are: the Skreea and what happened to their homeworld, Eris' backstory which I'm going to assume was true even though she was lying about being from that place, the blight planet, literally what show are you watching that you'd say something stupid like this? the Gamma quadrant is full of strife and conflict.>And why do you always get so hostileyou say hostile, I say passionate. you're saying things that are really retarded and blatantly contradicted by what happens in the show so it gets me worked up. i love to argue, sorry. if you think I'm an asshole and my rhetoric offends you so much, stop replying to me. you seem to be the only one with a problem. and I'm the one shilling the watchalong from the beginning because I actually enjoy talking about DS9. what's more weird to me is to complain about an anonymous poster not speaking to you in exactly the correct way, MATE.
>>216920398i meant to say Gamma quadrant oops
>>216920398>what's more weird to me is to complain about an anonymous poster not speaking to you in exactly the correct way, MATE.>t.
>>216920269"The Dominion has endured for over two thousand years, and will continue to endure long after the Federation has crumbled into dust."– Weyoun 4, 2372 ("To the Death")Which isn't that impressive for an effectively immortal puddle of goo.
>>216920398You're not the only one who started the Watchalong, pal. It grew out of a conversation between you and me.Also, exceptions do not disprove the rule.>The SkreeaTheir entire gimmick is that they fled when the Dominion conquered the race that conquered the Skreea. The fact that the Dominion conquered territory is not in itself negative and it certainly doesn't hint at any internal disarray in their government or among their conquered worlds; just that they added another one.We were discussion whether the Dominion's system of order was peaceful and sustainable and you're using their adding territory as an example of how it isn't?>the Dr. Bashir cures AIDS planetThey resisted and got dabbed on by a bio-weapon. This, to your point, is at least evidence that there was some resistance to Dominion rule but the planet isn't portrayed as being in an active state of revolt either. They're not fighting off Jem'Hadar armies. They have been subdued to the point where they cannot fight or disturb the broader public order of the Dominion either.
>>216920586>The Dominion has enduredSome say prayers, I say mine
>>216920586Well, we don't know when the incident of their 'heel turn' against the solids happens. If it's only 2,000 years ago or so, that's a pretty clear record.But really, the whole concept of the Dominion and what makes their conflict interesting with the Federation is that their system has a track record and has proven that it can endure as an intergalactic empire. Other UFP enemies are fractious and always undermine themselves with civil wars and politics (The Klingons, the Romulans, etc), it's no accident that The Borg and The Dominion are the most interesting antagonists because they oppose the Federation with consolidation rather than disunity and underhanded cold war-type opposition. And where the Borg are the cold mechanized 'other', The Dominion are just straight up authoritarians.
>>216920618>You're not the only one who started the Watchalong, pal.that's not what I said but why would you say something so dumb like that I ruined it when I was one literally making ads for it and still perpetuating it and still talking about DS9 to this day? stop being silly. i'm surprised you haven't caught on by now that I'm not actually hostile I just talk like this and don't care who doesn't like it. and you're wrong about me anyway because I disagree with people all the time like that guy who didn't agree with my interpretation of the side-eye Dukat gave Damar but I didn't call him retarded because he wasn't saying anything retarded like that The Dominion "absolutely works." he just had a different interpretation than I did. see the difference?and I think you're really moving the goalposts now because "absolutely works" and "doesn't hint at any intenal disarray in their government" are not the same thing. I think it's boring to argue about how the side that lost in a really obvious way was actually doing everything right anyway. it's feels like trying to be contrarian for the sake of in and when you do that you start to have to say and defend really dumb things.
>>216920796Well, if you took "absolutely works" to mean "utopian," that is definitely not what I meant at all. They're a totalitarian regime but that doesn't necessitate dysfunction. Your subjects do not need to be happy for your rule to be peaceful and ultimately successful (if your goal is to impose order which is the sacred cow to the Changelings).Again, when we got onto this topic, it's important to note we were talking about how the Changelings view themselves. So, yes, from their point of view where order > all and they could give two shits about whether their people are contented or not, their two thousand years of sustainability would absolutely read as a success, and a proven method of governing to them. And as a result they would, in turn, view Alpha Quadrant races as backwards and naive which is exactly what I said in the first place.
>>216920865well I didn't know you were like LARPing as a Founder or playing devil's advocate for them or whatever when you made that argument so, sure. but their point of view doesn't really need explaining imo. what I see them as is showing how total control is not really possible and the downfalls of trying to obtain it. if they had any kind of coalition and allies and races with skills and abilities and stuff that they could have used to help in the war and with curing the Founder AIDs for instance, they probably would have fared much better. but single points of control means there's a single point of failure to bring the whole thing down is how I see it. and that's why they're weak.
URGENT COMMUNIQUE FROM SHADOW PRESIDENT AND ILLUMINATI COMPTROLLER VIC "REDACTING THE EPSTEIN FILES USING 4CHAN SPOILER TAGS" MIGNOGNATUNE ONE TIME ENCRYPTION KEYS TO KEYWORDS: STAR, TREK, SEX, WITH, SHRANBy the power vested in me by Shadow Pope Jess The Mess (codename BashirFaggot) I am now authorized to declassify the true origins of the DS9 watch along. It was in fact generated by the psychic impression lab at Area 54 (the enclave of Area 51 at Studio 54) and simultaneously beamed into the pineal glands of all /trek/ regulars at the same time. Those with the least calcified glands believed themselves to the the originators of the idea. We could not reveal that earlier as we were redacting the names of our activities in the Epstein files and their associated files, the Horchack files. Now that deep cover Agent Kotter has completed his clandestine task we are free to reveal this task. We apologize for accidentally making any of you feel as if you were original or creative. This was not our intent and we assure you this is not the case. As compensation we will provide you with a $50 gift card for the Cheesecake Factory.As you were. Glory to Heroes and Icons. Trust in the Plan. Burn after reading. Wipe after pooping. Shadow President out. END TRANSMISSION
well my pineal gland is huge so
>>216920988>well I didn't know you were like LARPing as a Founder or playing devil's advocate for themThe post that started the argument begins with "Well from their perspective, they're not villains at all" so I think that was pretty clear.>total control is not really possibleIf this was what the writers were going for, they shouldn't have thrown in that line about reigning for two thousand years because that means it's absolutely possible -- just not infinitely, I guess? But two thousand years is a long fucking time for any sort of government to last, well beyond anything that has happened in human history so it's outside of our own frame of reference.You're right that their servant classes don't seem to offer a very diverse set of skills. You have the Vorta who serve as administrators and the Jem'Hadar who serve as soldiers but there are a ton of other conquered planets presumably and we don't see a lot of those people beyond the weird tulaberry wine guys, the economic guys that quark deals with (koruma or whatever, not sure of the spelling).
>>216921113
