Also the one that predicted the iPad. That was a good one

That might be a good binge for after this, I never watched it during the original run.

I don't know if I made it to that episode yet! A treat in my future!

Post-Boogie Nights/Ocean's 11 Don Cheadle and pre-Battlestar Katee Sackhoff in the same shot. S9E5, 2002. There's been lots of other examples of the rule as I've been watching but this one seems like it belongs in the encyclopedia entry

Is it confetti? Did I fuck that up too? Whatever. We'll all be dead soon anyway.

It's always both.

You'll have to fund the show to find out

The only recommendation I can make is that you check it out for yourself and decide whether or not it is for you. Entertainment is wildly subjective and tastes vary

I mean what I said

We'd have 33 seasons of DS9 if we had kept our eye on the ball. Over 850 episodes at a staggering 26 episodes a season. You could do an entire season just on Garak and Bashir's kids. As a society, it's clear where we've failed

Some real choices have been made, with this series

I'm not sure how many self-parodies Star Trek needs tbh

There's been a lot of bad Star Trek over the years, there's been some decisions here to lean into that vibe. I feel like we should have just kept making DS9 and never stopped doing that
