The dude snapped when he’s loved ones were killed, that is considered exculpatory of violent actions in almost all legal systems. The difference is that instead of a knife or a gun he had almost omnipotent powers of destruction.
In an ideal society he would get psychological counseling to deal with the trauma and ensure it doesn’t happen again, but I think it’s obvious he was a bit above Troi’s pay grade.
I want to say they’re from the same episode? They were being interviewed about their experience during some event and instead of doing a voiceover that segues into it being acted out they did this creative choice of acting it out and having the one giving a deposition pause to turn to the camera to tell the bit they’re saying in the interview.
I’m not remembering a lot of the details, but this is the type of thing that made me love DS9. The themes were generally the typical Trek fair, but that show had style. They had the balls to film things differently than other Trek shows and make them really interesting. It was so different but still so Star Trek at its core. It made things feel fresh.
That and the way it was set up, being on a space station that didn’t move meant it felt less like a sector/monster of the week. It accomplished a lot of the same by having the new aliens come to them instead of the other way around as is typical, but it felt different I think because they were stationary. It felt more character-focused, and because they were basically hovering just over Bajor it meant there was a whole planet that was able to affect the show consistently as it grew and changed along with the dynamics of the crew/station, while not really being part of the direct scenery.
All these shots are from the episode Rules of Engagement, where Worf blows up the cloaked vessel that had klingon bodies aboard. The klingons insisted they were alive before Worf fired but an investigation shows they weren’t.
I just watched the episode where Jake being nearly killed by a psychic vampire who also transformed her victims into timeless artists was the B plot. I don’t even remember the A plot. When confronted by Benjamin with a phaser she just turned into a ball of light and phased through the bulkhead away into space
Lucius Fox : Let me get this straight, you think that your client, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante, who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands, and your plan is to blackmail this person?
“Oh the Husnock? Horrible, simply horrible species. Good riddance. Did you ask me here to give Uxbridge a medal or something? Because he certainly doesn’t deserve it! Why I’ve already genocided three species this morning and didn’t even get a thank you.”
I’m so glad they’re getting the attention they deserve. When Q turned me into a turkey sandwich, I was no longer able to work. They helped me get the settlement I deserved from the Federation, who knew that running into Q was a possibility, and did not disclose that risk to me.
On a different note, how is it possible to exist as a sandwich or a microbe. I can kind of see how a Q could exist as a human or dog but anything below that is confusing.
Also I assume that a Q exists outside time and space and is just controlling a puppet they created.
Space OSHA reminds you that any ship that might attract Q should have high visibility DANGEROUS placards prominently displayed before getting underway!
Shut up, Wesley! We must be circumspect with those who could visit genocide upon US with a thought. Also, don’t bring up how often I challenged Q when he could have done the same or I’ll just tell you to shut up again.
