And if you need parts bigger than the replicator can produce, you just replicate the parts for a bigger replicator.

Or Farscape’s. We got The Peacekeeper Wars to wrap it up eventually, though.

I’m not keen on the nuclear hellfire bit, but visiting Risa does sound nice…

Probably aroumd the time replicators became widespread, so, during The Lost Era.

I think they want to ease her into the cast instead of suddenly having five mains.

That’s fair. Not everything is for everyone.

The Clone Wars takes a long time to really find its footing, and still has some duds after it does, but the highs are amazing.

I always headcanoned that Rom was very quickly fired after DS9…

As Grand Nagus, I don’t think there’s anyone higher up to fire him. The position is a weird cross of king, CEO, and Pope. Only death or resignation seems to be able to oust a Grand Nagus.

It doesn’t come up very often. Their telepathy is very weak and they usually can’t do much without physical contact.

Or she could be pretty typical in regards to emotional intensity but with unusually strong telepathy.

The peptalk that Mariner gave T’Lyn was absolutely fantastic. There were so many good moments in this episode, but that is probably my favorite.

“Then I suppose, by the transitive property, that I, too, am ‘as Vulcan as a motherfucker.’”

Captain Freeman referenced it destroying the Orion ship in the intro, so it’s making its way toward the plot. Or the Cerritos is making its way to the plot.

Tendi is a medical officer; she probably has it covered.

They floated it a little with Rutherford in the first episode or two with his Vulcan implant randomly making him act Vulcan, but it was dropped almost immediately.

Hmm, I can recognize Klingon and tengwar, but not the others. I can still read Daedric from when I played Morrowind all the time, but it takes me a while to remember what the individual glyphs mean.

More a product of Berman than of the '90s.

Not technically an alternate universe. Also, the two Voyagers had only deviated from each other by a few hours. O’Brien getting killed off and replaced by his time-displaced future self is weirder, to me.

“And this is Kid Cudi, who’s not really a historical figure.”

“Kinda am now, I think.”

If there isn’t a moopsy plush available by the end of the season I’m going to complain very loudly in corners of the internet that no Paramount executive will ever see.

I think what makes DS9 work is its core premise, and the problem with some of the newer stuff is they’re trying for that tone without that premise to back it up. As Sisko says early on, it’s easy to be a saint in paradise, but DS9 isn’t paradise; they’re at a backwater that’s been ravaged by decades of military occupation and is struggling to get by. On Earth, people can just replicate whatever they need for free, but Bajor doesn’t have a post-scarcity economy and they often need to make hard choices. Half the crew also isn’t from the Federation and doesn’t have that strong sense of morality ingrained in them from birth.
