These weren't the ones where Picard orders Tea, Earl Gray, Hot.

These were industrial units capable of cranking out war ships and weapons. The Federation was basically giving the cardassians an unlimited supply of military hardware.

Section 31 had already known of the changelings, so their strategy was to arm the cardies for the inevitable war with the gamma quadrant, but being as good as any intelligence agency on earth, they were unable to predict that the cardies would align with the changelings.

You're right, history does exonerate both the maquis and eddington

I mean, Sisko did forge a data recorder to bring the Romulans into the war, look the other way after a murder, and then delete all his emails. Space Clinton. If Sisko is the Chaotic Good to Picard's Lawful Good, I could see a Chaotic Neutral Section 31 arming the Cardassian Union.

it's such a shame that no TV show in the past 10 years can even come close to a show like DS9

but now everyone is sick to death of girl-boss mary-sue in every form of visual media. it's just all so super CRINGE.

so maybe in a couple years we'll get back to well-written shows. I hope the hollywood writers strike never goes back to work, they aren't worth a fuckin free hot dog for the garbage they put out.

AI can do the job of 50 hollywood writers, with a handful of actually good writers filling in the gaps the AI missed.

the future of film does look bright, if those latte chugging tattoo ridden, pierced, pink haired deviants finally get the kick in the ass they deserve.

a kick to the unemployment line

There hasn't been a good TV show since breaking bad (better call saul is in this cat.)

Those candy ass writers on strike need to understand that they are no longer needed.

Let's be real probably over half of DS9 episodes are utter shit, and it takes years of scholarly monkly study to skip the right episodes to make it a GOAT series. It's very out of place but Gul Dukat transitioning into a Bajoran and fucking his way into their Vatican in order to release the demon in its catacomb is peak Star Trek

Kirk was a super-hero. Picard was a Statue. Sisko is a REAL MAN. He makes real-world decisions in a moral-gray area. Any help for DS9 is days/weeks away at max warp.

Sisko is a man pushed beyond the breaking point and he still somehow holds it all together, we forgive the minor transgression here and there because we fully understand what he is up against.

then Janeway is standing there going, "Well shit, how do I follow that?"

and all of star trek has episodes we wanna forget. anyone remember TNG: Code of Honor?

[magnetaress]

About the only ds9 episode that really annoys me is the one where gul dukat kidnaps kiera onto that other station where he's making babies of himself by impregnating the cultists.

It's not even that bad tho. Kiera just is way too fucking patient. I would have gone into the core. Blown the airlocks. Let everyone suffocate. Then radiod sisko for a ride once I had free run of the place. I mean. She WAS a terrorist and had intimate knowledge of how those stations worked and both of the cultists and dukat where idiots.

Her only reason not to was her ex mentor monk friend butt he was so far gone I think it would have been in character for her to just pull the plug.

Let the prophets sort it out.

They should have stayed true to their alliance with the klingons and road into cardassia on the first wave.


The klingons where just about warmed up to treating the Federation like an actual fully fledged house.

i thought it was stupid maybe lazy writing that Martok is a klingon hero in TNG and then he's a psycho madman in DS9. wayyy to convenient to make him a changeling

[magnetaress]

Yeah again. You aren't going to get much argument from me. After the whole changeling ark when they got him out of the prison camp, I rather liked him in the bit parts he did.

[magnetaress]

Gene originally didnt want to make a gritty real series at all tho. So that didn't happen until he was pretty much away from the set.

All treks have great value in them for the ppl they where made for, except maybe most of discovery (wasted potential the Michael Burnham / AU arc was pretty cool for a tid bit) !

I think America needs more moralistic western style propoganda in it's entertainment tho so I am with the Chinese on this one. (the oil company starts out the bad guy, turns out to be the good guys after all) Everyone good is christian even the wierdos and freaks etc etc.

How do you deal with athiests or satanists who don't want to understand you, disrespect you and your boundaries, and lack all integrity and trust worthiness?

Those are the best people to play with! Whats wrong with them? My best friend in the universe is the most staunch atheist whose only god is money, heck I even enjoy visiting him to play boardgames along his kids on weekends.

[magnetaress]

As a general rule a lot of ppl are cool butt some are very bad.

Things that are red flags to me:

Atheism (a path towards Nihilism, indifferentism).
Satanism (they worship domination over others aka the the literal rape of G-d's creation and self destruction, solely for the sake of power, control, and pleasure, OVER OTHERS)
Drug use
Over reliance on Cynicism
Negativity
Obsessive Compulsive behaviors
Lies and Deception.

You can wrap most of that up in Satanic behavior, however, most Athiests don't lean that far. Same with a lot of pagans, who are being decieved by evil spirits. Butt aren't necessarily really disordered or evil folks themselves (YET).

Note, I am also not saying to NEVER EVER associate with any of these ppl, though from a G-dly point of view it can be harmful to the FLOCK that is why priests and the bible says to keep to other Christians. You are not G-d and don't need to have the 'Hubris' to save ppl and live Jesuses life exactly as he did getting crucified by your belief, G-d does not expect that of all of us as near as I can tell (an expert can chime in).

A lot of really defensive ppl chirping up in here. I was in my ORIGINAL POST talking about individual ppl not athiests or even satanists as a whole! (though I am quite prejudicial about satan because he is a really bad DEVIL who enjoys tormenting hoomans, why would anyone sane or rational or loving subject themselves or their loved ones to that?)

Anyways thats my 2cp again. Please don't be super offended. The person in question has been given G-d's grace to go find their peace on earth and lil slice of heaven.

It isn't a good thing to live a disordered chaotic life full of harm, be it self or otherwise. That isn't good for the individual organism nor the greater organism on the whole (ecosystem, ECONOMY if you want to take it into secular humanism and atheism). This is a point both Christianity and Athiests could agree and synchronize on if we could have mutual respect for each other !
