Lol I love when Garak and Kira are laughing their asses off outside the Dominion headquarters and Damar is like trying to get in on their joke

constantly thinking about picard's line "what we leave behind is not as important as how we lived." i haven't read any behind the scenes about this but im convinced the title of ds9's last episode "what you leave behind" was some kind of reference to that. tng is this utopia where humanity has finally found the ability to live for themselves, not being bogged down by constant questions about the social, political, economic affects of every little action like we are– and ds9 says no, what if what we leave behind is more important? what if its life-or-death important and everything we do affects innocent people? what if we couldn't just leave it behind? what if we had no choice but to stay and fight? tng is optimism in paradise but ds9 is relentless grit your teeth and help someone optimism and sorry but it is forever going to be so much better

MINSK
I watched ds9's series finale but just one word is echoing on my mind ID: A colored bust drawing of Worf from Star Trek DS9, but he is an anthropomorphic rhinoceros. He is in uniform, with his Klingon baldric, serious expression, closed eyes, saying aloud: MINSK. Pastel yellow background. End ID. 🦇 Art Fight 2023 - ratgroundpear @ Team Vampires! . 🌟 2023 carrd | commission me! | ☕️ send me a Ko-fi 🌟

This may be the last time we're all together. But no matter what the future holds, no matter how far we travel, a part of us - a very important part - will always remain here, on Deep Space Nine.

Did anyone enjoy the ending to Deep Space 9, and if so, why? This is genuine, no snark, I didn’t like it but I’d love to hear other thoughts.
I have three primary grievances:
The flashback montages were corny (ok ok, this isn’t a serious grievance, Star Trek is inherently corny, but still)
Where the hell was Jadzia in those flashbacks?! She was the primary Dax during the series, she was everyone’s friend, she was Worf’s WIFE, you’re telling me no one reflected on her as we go our separate ways????
Are we really okay with leaving Sisko in the void?? Without his family??? He LOVES his family!!! How long is he going to be out there????

I've finished.
After *wanting* to watch this show since I was a kid and discovering Next Generation, putting it off all through college so I could give it my full attention and then watching for over three years I have finally finished Star Trek: Deep Space 9.
I confess not much of a television fan, at least not as much as I am a novel or film enthusiast. Television for me occupies a category of media like video games where the time commitment doesn't quite align with the potential gains. I've watched plenty of bad movies or read bad books, brushed them off, and moved on. But bad shows feel like more of a waste, they feel to me like I've lost something more that I can't quite brush off as easily.
But watching a series as good as DS9 is a reminder of the flip side, a bad show feels like more of a loss but there's nothing quite like finishing a really good show. Not only is DS9 good, but it's a good example of television as a medium. DS9 could only ever be a TV show and it makes the most out of the narrative potential unique to television. The best books could only be books, the best cinema could only be cinema and the best television could only be television.
It helps that of all the Star Trek shows I've seen DS9 has the best ending because it *feels* like an ending. The conclusion to numerous plot threads, character arcs but also the chance to look back on the journey and to really savor the sweet melancholy of farewell. It feels like the ending we get is the ending that was planned from the beginning and that we have been building towards over time.
"To the best crew any captain ever had! This may be the last time we're all together. But no matter what the future holds, no matter how far we travel, a part of us, a very important part, will always remain here, on Deep Space 9."
😭😭😭💜💜💜

what really fucked me up the first time and still fucks me up on every rewatch is just that last scene. we've already seen jake at the window back in season four. and it's kind of tin foil fridge logic, but that desaturated look at all these good times we had montage is implying that things they shouldn't remember they do. worf sitting at the baccarat table as duchamps, jake standing over his father in the alternate timeline from "the visitor". it's more bitter than sweet, but maybe if jake does remember the alternate timeline, maybe things will be different this time around

Has anyone told the newcomers not to interact with corporations and questionable celebrities? Yeah, that's how we render them useless and make this site unprofitable. The last Twitter exodus had some slimy things crawl in, and we swept most under the rug out of sight.
And on the mobile app, if you hold and drag the make a post button, a fun thing happens.

APLAP (Assigned Pathetic Lifeform at Padawanship)
New padawan Obi-Wan trying to figure out how the FUCK to make his master listen and not abandon him to go running off following "the will of the force" when it hits him. Qui-Gon is perfectly happy stopping and taking care of pathetic life forms, but not Obi-Wan. That's it. He's always been prepared, always been dutiful, strong, self-sufficient.
He's cracked the code. He needs to be more pathetic.
The next time he senses Qui-Gon's about to run off he coordinates a scene of utmost pathetic-ness, that is, he throws himself into the nearest fountain. He trudges up to his master sopping wet, water-logged robes swallowing him, with hair sticking to his face and containing bits of algae from the fountain. He mumbles out an apology for being clumsy before looking up at Qui-Gon with the biggest, most woeful eyes possible to ask if he happened to bring any spare robes (he didn't, Obi-Wan knows this because he is usually the one to pack spare robes for them both). His wet hair is dripping water into his eyes that's beginning to turn them an irritated red, and there's algae sliding down the side of his face, it really is masterful work.
"Oh...I'm sure I'll be able to find something by myself, it's okay Master, I know you had important work to do."
Qui-Gon visibly hesitates. Obi-Wan starts shivering. He turns to walk away. He's stopped by his Master's hand on his shoulder. His Master, who walks back with him, who gets clean clothes from their hosts, who has folded like wet flimsi and even explains his stupid, stupid plan before choosing to hotwire a hoverbike with a passenger seat! Oh, Obi-Wan really has cracked the code!
Afterwards, Obi-Wan stages an increasingly pitiful accident for himself every time his patented 'Qui-Gon Jinn Bullshit' detector goes off. Eventually, his Master stops leaving him behind at all, even giving him funny looks when he turns around and Obi-Wan isn’t next to him. It never fails to make Obi-Wan grin and run to catch up. Sure, his reputation as a perfect padawan is in tatters, alongside his dignity, but it’s a small price to pay for a place at his Master’s side, for him to remember there’s a place for Obi-Wan there.
When the ray shields come up on Naboo, Qui-Gon doesn't charge ahead and leave his padawan behind, he hasn't for years. He waits for Obi-Wan because it feels wrong to do otherwise, his padawan belongs at his side.
Much, much later, when Obi-Wan is drinking to the end of the war with friends, Commander Cress will ask him how he kept General Jinn from running off for entire decade. Obi-Wan laughs, informs him, and resolutely ignores the scene Quinlan is making as the man cackles and pulls up a book to shove at them both, titled Classical Conditioning 101: A guide to subtle psychological manipulation.

Alright let's imagine a scene that is all too normal in palestine. A palestinian business owner finds his building covered in graffiti stars of Davids and Hebrew that says "gas the arabs" and "death to arabs"
Now imagine there's a reporter there and asks the palestinian business owner what happens and they say "the jews attacked my business"
Pause. Now your response might be "uncle no. Say israelis not jews" and then this is when he would look at you like youre stupid because the israelis doing this are jewish. They are not the Christians or the druze or the palestinian ones with Israeli citizenship. They are Jewish israelis who believe in their religious supremacy. When you graffiti stars of david all over a palestinian business, car, or the street you seek that conflation. it sends a message, this is jewish land and you're next.
The problem is that these videos circulate in zionist circles. "Watch this video of children in gaza calling for the death of jews" "watch how they say they want to fight and kill jews" those children are referring to Israeli soldiers that come in night and do their raids with the star of David attached to their uniform or the ones that bomb them. It's easy to watch those videos and assume that palestinians are indoctrinating their children on anti semitism or you can realize that those children's only interaction with jewish ppl is through violence and parents cannot protect their children from this. Doesn't matter context is lost
Abby Martin went to Jerusalem and interviewed israelis for 2 hours and she says every israeli was extremely confident to say that this land is for them and that they should push the Arabs out and when she interviewed palestinians they spoke of freedom from occupation and their dreams. That's reality. Not the soundbites.
And yet we have invasive youtubers and interviewers constantly in the street of ramallah or wherever in palestine asking palestinians "do you hate jews?" And in those videos you hear those palestinians say "no we have no problem with jews we have a problem with occupation and we have a problem with zionism." Bc this is how we are trained to respond to this trope. Palestinians are very aware what the world thinks of us and the reality is that many palestinians have internalized it and we grow up reading books on the Holocaust and train ourselves to recognize anti semitic dog whistles so zionists don't get the soundbites they want.
So we say "anti zionism is not anti semitism" and we say "israeli zionists" and we do not say "jewish supremacy" even thought it exists in palestine but "zionist supremacy" and in these carefully worded speech we water down what is happening to us in an effort to not deter people away from solidarity. But it means nothing. The world categorically blames palestinians for rising anti semitism they blame us for jewish insecurity globally.
