/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I know that wasn't the point, but:

Holt as Sisko and Terry as Worf is cool (Holt might work better as Odo, but we'll get to that in a sec).

Rosa should be Kira (Worf looks mean but is a big softy, hence Terry. Kira is the one that will kick your ass if you piss her off), Jina as Quark (obviously), Amy as Odo, Boyle as Rom, Hitchcock and Scully as O'brian and Bashir in their "two buds going to the holosuite to pretend they're WW1 pilots" mode.

Jake works surprisingly well as Jadzia - both like to do silly things, kinda offbeat yet very good at their job.

I see where you're coming from but I feel bad for O'Brien and Bashir getting done like that lol. But their inept best buddy dynamic doesn't really fit anywhere on the ds9 crew neatly so it had to go somewhere

[–] CerealKiller01@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I think not only their inept dynamic doesn't fit anywhere in DS9, it's actually anathema for the core values of Star Trek. Trek is all about what humanity can do when people do their best. The closest to being "inept" in ST are:

Characters like Rom or Berkeley, who at first have an inept aura, but ARE good at their job if put in the right situation.
Quark, who's kinda bad at being a Ferengi, but that's because he lets his (by human standards) morals get in the way. Also, the Ferengi were created as a species to be an anathema for other core values of Star Trek begin with.
The Pakleds, who are kinda like the Ferengi were at first, and were a one-off species then used for comedic purposes.

I've put way too much thought into it, haven't i?

[–] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 8 months ago

You took this thinking a lot further than I.

I couldn't hear myself think because my brain was shouting at me about Rosa not being Kira.

Rosa got sidelined as Jake.

Swap her with Gina, and it's good. Rosa as the badass freedom fighter, and Gina as the person that isn't as official as everyone else, but still gets side plots lol

That also makes Gina Holt's daughter, which I think checks out
