“You don’t have to take my word for it” and you didn’t have Levar Burton say it as a reference to Reading Rainbow?

This episode was directed by LeVar so it’s a meta reference.

He Excelled as a son.

(Edit: I’m an idiot and didn’t even read the title, and made the same joke)

WarmSoda, to risa in Just a little bit

To be fair Janeway wasn’t around at the time, so they didn’t have any examples of genocide to go off of.

Texas_Hangover,

Didn’t Sisko wipe out a whole planet because fuck you Eddington?

mosiacmango,

He just made it uninhabitable by humans. Not exactly the same as wiping it out, but since it forced displacement of a whole planet, it was genocide.

possiblylinux127,

I think genocide requires death

Cypher,

It doesn’t, according to the actual definition.

possiblylinux127,

Good to know

I would love to see the source for that. e.g. Oxford Languages says

the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

frezik, (edited )

The dictionary isn’t a legal framework or international organization. The UN has a convention on genocide:

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Item (c) comes the closest to what Sisko did, but he did it in a way that gave them a chance to get out, so it’s not a perfect match. Forcing conditions for removing a group probably wouldn’t qualify under any of these. That said, it can be a factor in Ethnic Cleansing, but the Maquis aren’t really an ethnic group.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Why not Phlox?

TheGrandNagus,

Phlox, Janeway, Sisko

Damn. Lots of genocide from the good guys.

Not even an android can escape dad jokes.

They’re like gravity.

Technus, to risa in Just a little bit

If the Federation was in the business of putting higher beings on trial, don’t you think the second they learned Q was human they’d slap him in a courtroom so fast it’d make his head spin?

Mango,

Hold up. Q is human??

Fuck me. That’s big spoilers. When am I gonna find this out?

dutchkimble, (edited )

Later on we find out he was just 2 Q kids in a trenchcoat pretending to be human

HeapOfDogs,

I summon thee, @Stamets to do your duty

OnlyTakesLs,

Q was turned into a human by other Q. It lasted for an episode

bajabound, (edited )

If these are spoilers you are about 30 years behind.

QTwo that I can remember: Q got temporarily kicked out of the continuum (reference d above), also when Q got banished in the asteroid and Janeway let him out, he became human, then committed suicide.

Technus,

I was talking about the first Q, of course.

The case with the second Q was technically a civil suit.

Mango,

Yeah I’m only a couple seasons into TNG.

That could be me 100%. My heart then usually adds that it’s a shame that there is no remastered version with high resolution T_T

That’s a funny way to spell SG-1.

Anyone know if that DS9 server that was remaking it with AI visuals is still around?

TrashGoblin,

I don’t know. I do know there are 720p and 1080p AI upscales. They can look a little “smooth”, but they’re less distracting than the bad 480p transfers Netflix was showing a few years ago.
