  • Damar's redemption was pretty good I thought. He went from being a loathsome drunk to finding purpose in doing the right thing. At least there was that.

    I used to be a loathsome drunk too though

  • Oh im with you. One of the great things about DS9 was showing believable characters in difficult situations that forced them to make no-win choices, especially Sisko and Kira. And personally, as an anarchist, I was much more inclined to like the Maquis than I think many of the writers were.

    Again, im not far enough into Voyager just yet to have a big-picture opinion just yet, but i definitely agree that they should've stressed the resource hunger and strain more. Its a common complaint from what ive seen.

  • But meanwhile, I was watching Sisko over on DS9 and he was a man who absolutely had a strong moral center but was being forced to do all kinds of things that he didn't necessarily agree with and didn't want to do

    "I can live with it" was one of the best, most honest, most heartbreaking lines in all of ST

  • Voyager is a mixed bag. I watched it a good bit on broadcast back in the day but im just now doing a full binge (im like 2/3 through s2 atm so Seven of Nine hasn't even shown up yet). There are some rather strong episodes, plenty of weak ones. The majority is fairly middle-of-the-road, which feels worse when held up to TNG and DS9. My understanding is a lot of people felt it leaned a bit too heavily on time travel and holodeck gimmicks. And, of course, Chakotay's fake Native American lore is suuuuper cringe knowing what we do now, but you can mostly overlook it.

    It's generally worth watching at least once, but I wouldn't do so on the tail of one of those. DS9 especially lol

  • "It just reminds me of like a fucking Dead Kennedys song or something. It's just the same old shit. I mean, they laid off my dad from the sewage treatment plant because they didn't understand what his job was, and he was the computer guy there, and then they don't have a company anymore, so it's like it's the same shit."

    Tarn nails it as usual.

  • It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the McConnell has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Appalachia. He is the Master of Kentucky by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of Kentucky for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.

    Yet even in his deathless state, the McConnell continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the McConnell's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse.

    To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
