This Miles O’Brien is actually a solid science reporter for PBS. I’ve watched him on and off for years. A while back he lost his arm in some kind of freak accident, and ended up using the experience to explore prosthetics and bionics.

Solid dude, but what else would you expect with a name like that?

There’s something beautifully macabre about this. I want one.

Just let me recalibrate the deflector to emit an anti-matter pulse on a rotating frequency and…….found it! It’s 100 meters off the port bow.

This is such a great description, and captures why I love DS9 so much. I think the fact that it doesn’t really take place in the Federation, and that the overarching plot is moved along by external forces from an entirely different quadrant, gives it the space to thoughtfully explore the depths of a well-intentioned yet exclusionary post-scarcity utopia from a darker perspective. Especially how the Federation’s ideals interact with the aftermath of a very familiar military occupation on Bajor at the same time as it stokes an external threat from an unfamiliar ‘other’ through the Dominion/Founders. And all of that is accomplished through some of the best character development of any show I’ve seen.

At least Harry gets a pip! The former Maquis are forever stuck with their provisional ranks. These always bugged me…

I just always imagined an awkward conversation between Janeway and some new species she had just beamed on board: “so uh, Captain, why do some of your crew have different rank pins?”

“Oh, you mean the terrorists? Don’t worry about it, they’re fine.”

I understand that being raised in an insular and homogenous community can make it difficult to accept that other people with the same religion hold different beliefs than you, but you do not get to speak for all Jews.
