Quite bold of you to slander one of the most critically acclaimed future authors like that.
Comment on How is this not the worst episode of DS9?

Which episode has the most Jake screentime? That’s the worst one.

On the other hand, quite bold of Star Trek to imagine a future where people read things instead of watched cat videos.

I feel like Sisko is a much worse offender tbh. Whoever played Jake just did too good a job of immitating Sisko.
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Sure Sisko lied, cheated, bribed men to cover up the crimes of other men. He’s even an accessory to murder. But Jake is so whiny, so I think I can live with it… And if I had to watch Deep Space 9 all over again… I would skip Jake heavy episodes. So I will learn to use the skip button, because I can live with no rewatching every episode.

Incorrect. The episode with Jake having the most screen time is The Visitor and that episode is a gem.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Since that’s a cheat, there’s also Progress, where Nog and Jake end up with the self-sealing stem bolts and the yamak sauce. I think it’s pretty amusing anyway.
FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s a classic episode.
rustydomino@lemmy.world 10 months ago
To be fair, there was a LOT of yamok sauce.

That episode was hilarious though.

When I saw the Candyman in the opening I thought it was going a different direction

Wait a minute, that’s not Cirroc Lofton, it’s Tony Todd.
It’s a fake.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I did not like that one. The drama felt super cheap since I knew that Sisko had plot armour and therefore the resolution to the episode would need to be some time travel nonsense where none of it mattered.

The destination is rarely the point of most high-concept sci-fi. Rather, the journey is what is important.

Ugh. It would be a gem to me if it weren’t directly after the Klingons and Worf entering the story. It’s like a mixtape that starts off with two Metallica songs amd goes straight into Joni Mitchell.
