Remember: 9 months until we build a statue of this guy.

  Given the trajectory of current politics, the Bell Riots are definitely possible in that timeframe.

    Are you a changeling that took over negativenull or did you just switch servers?

  Anyone else think that Gabriel Bell looks just like Commander Sisko?

    Commander who?

      That’s Benny Russell. I don’t know who this Sisko guy is but I’ve read many of Benny’s stories.

  I just watched this episode a couple days ago. Some of it is way too applicable to current day, particularly the part about how it takes a huge tragedy for the population to realize that maybe we should make society nice for other people.

    I’m not sure how accurate that really is anymore.

      If Ulvade and/or SandyHook didn’t change anything, nothing else will. :/

    I wish that was how it worked! Society would have been so much nicer by now.

      Yeah there’s there tragic undertone to the whole thing as well. It showed the underclass actually standing up for themselves rather than fighting to keep inequality in place.

      That is how society works.

  What I found most concerning about this episode was that the refugee encampments, which were supposed to represent ultimate poverty, despair, and oppression, look a damned sight nicer than bad areas in San Francisco and Los Angeles today.

    I don’t know that I’d go that far.

  There’s a non zero chance Avery Brooks starts the Brooks riots in our timeline.

  We SHOULD put up a statue to Avery Brooks. Why not? He’s a dang treasure.

  I mean the encampments came true. We just need a stone cold daddy with a hint of crazy to get the downtrodden’s voice out now.
