Never realize it takes place over labor day weekend until today. It hits even harder knowing that.
It kind of makes me sad not knowing how the original Bell got acess to the Net without jadzia's help. That makes me think he couldn't and It was a predestination paradox and the implication is humanity couldn't put us on a path to the world of star trek on our own and we needing star fleet to push the scales. Explains a lot for our timeline.
1995 Me: Getting the voices on the Net would fix things for sure. 2024 Me: There would be a misinformation campaign to drown out those voices and used by grifters to make a quick buck off the cause. Most would just swipe to the next youtube short/reelz/TikTok video.

Yeah i made myself sad

The images recorded in history changed from the real bell’s face to sisko’s which to me says it wasn’t a predestination paradox, the real bell did it the first time, and sisko did it the second.

yeah I hope so, What do you speculate how the original Bell got acess to the Net?

The story might have played out the same way. Someone Bell knew got saved by that CEO, and they convinced him to help Bell.

Sisko says “Maybe it was Bell”, I like to think it was, that Bell had the hacking skills to do it himself.
