So basically, it’s a meme originating from Star Trek wherein a species communicates exclusively through idioms and descriptions of events, making it impossible to translate without an understanding of their overall culture and history. Shaka When the Walls Fell probably means failure, it can be translated as “wow” in best case or “this is devastating” in the worst case.
If my Ink Tank Printer suddenly posted SHAKA WHEN THE WALLS FELL then I would be taking a few steps back and grabbing some towels.
This almost sounds like a prediction of contemporary meme culture where every situation or emotion is conveyed though a shared collection of phrases and images.
What I find funny is I blocked the sub, and I still see the replies. I can reply from my inbox, but I can’t go and see the post itself. Interesting how it all works.
Andrew Robinson himself has said in many interviews that he played the character as “Omnisexual,” and initially attracted to Bashir. In fact, he was originally written that way until Rick Berman put an end to it out of nothing more than homophobia, but Robinson continued to play him that way regardless.
I love when actors do this out of a genuine love for the potential of a character, star trek would be so much worse if it wasn’t for so many actors challenging the ethical and visionary failings of the script both through their acting and directly speaking up. It matters less that the script never ships bashir and garak (I thinkkk I haven’t finished though… hahaha) because the acting makes it true no matter what the narrative says on paper or what dialog happens between them.
It is always about what is implied by what we are being shown isn’t it? Especially if you don’t quitteeee take the words the actors are literally saying at face value as the only dimension of truth.
Nothing is more fitting for garak in a way, though that is more sad than anything because the show would have been richer with an openly queer garak.

Frakes and Sirtis did this with their characters as well in TNG.
Aside from the initial introduction to their past relationship, the writers wanted to leave it in the past so that they could explore other stories. But the actors played it up every chance they could get.
That still didn’t stop the writers from pushing Troi and Worf together toward the end for some bizarre reason. But if not for the actors’ efforts to keep things alive throughout the run of TNG, Troi and Riker may not have ended up together in the end.
They didn’t talk about it because crazy shit happened to that fucking ship every day. I could just imagine some ensign going home to his wife like ‘The ship gave birth today’ and she just rolls her eyes and goes back to her book.
The funny part about that is, even though he was the one who got the shit over it, the fucking ship came on to him. He just wanted to talk about the goddamn warp drive.
We can set aside how Geordi conducted himself after the hologram had been made as well, if you’d like. That doesn’t even begin to address how he acted when the real Dr. Brahms came on board the ship. Dude’s a certfied incel creep.
The way he acts towards the read Doctor Brahms certainly does not cast the character in the most flattering light, but what did he do in “Booby Trap” that was so bad?
My favorite example of this is from The Chase, where they discover the origin of all humanoid species in the galaxy, probably the most important discovery made in the history of Starfleet, and it’s never mentioned again.
I love that she’s such a Trekkie that she doesn’t even know how to do the Vulcan salute properly, despite probably having seen images of it her entire life even if she never watched a single episode of Star Trek.
It looks a lot like stage fighting. Something that would still be clear to viewers sitting really far away (or I guess with tiny, blurry 1960s TVs in this case).
It’s basically that. These have a lot in common with pro-wrestling moves. They all carry some element of risk (like the drop kick), but the physicality isn’t impossible to achieve with some coaching.
When I first posted this to reddit, a couple t-shirt bots immediately stole it and posted it to some shady webstores. I tried to make an account with a more reputable site, because I figured if anyone was going to make money off my dumb bullshit, it should be me, but for whatever reason they wouldn’t accept it.
So, to answer your question, if you see it online, I would not have any hard feelings about your purchasing it, but I personally wouldn’t trust the seller with my credit card info.
That kind of log floating behind ships was where the term log comes from. They’d throw them overboard and let them drift out over some interval and they’d mark down “log took 30 seconds to drift out to end of rope” to determine their speed.
