id: screenshot of a transcript; Worf says, "But as you keep insisting, you are not a traditional woman." Jadzia replies, "And the truth is Worf...at heart, you're not much of a traditional man."

Comment adds a screenshot of Worf saying "I am not a man."

i wonder who names the trill symbionts.

their natural form of communication when unjoined is electrical, not a syllabic language or a sound-based language at all. at first i thought they might be given names by the trill who tend the symbiont pools once they're ready for joining... but wouldn't it be lovely if it were the first host?

i think a lot about how the first joining must be an incredible experience, unique from the others because the symbiont has no humanoid memories, nothing that would be familiar to the first host—and unlike with subsequent hosts, the symbiont also doesn't know how to be joined yet. they're learning the whole thing together, two sentient beings who are not like each other but are now inseparably part of each other.

and what else would the host's first question be except who are you?

and the answer is unmistakable, but also untranslatable. i assume the symbiont has a sense of identity pre-joining, but they've never identified themselves aloud before. they only learn about spoken language after they're joined.

maybe the naming is a rite of passage for the first host, proof that the joining is complete—that the host understands the true essence of the symbiont enough to give them a name, that the symbiont understands what that means enough to agree, and all together it's a gift that will stay with the symbiont for centuries.

kira as a daughter figure. kira seeking father figures and losing every single one of them, even sisko, and she's not even 35. what do you do with that?

she takes the father's place, again and again and again. she takes her first father's role in the bajoran resistance, she takes her cardassian father's role in the cardassian resistance, she takes command of the station when sisko is gone.

dukat took her mother, stole the place of a father in her life and ate it, and kira denied him the role of father-suitor when he demanded it of her--

and kira then stole his place as ziyal's father, giving ziyal space and resources and support that directly mirrors what ben provides for jake.

kira is a daughter who becomes a father. in this essay i will

We need a DS9 episode where strange occurrences keep happening at 3 am causing the main cast to have to get out of bed and investigate STILL in their pajamas. Also there is no power so they have to walk around with flashlights. also they think that it's ghosts. also i think that Odo should wear pjs too and it turns out he just materializes them at night to fit in.

Lwaxana tenderly cradling liquid odo was more intimate and tender than any of "the link" connections.

Ok but can u imagine being an actor vehemently playing a character as gay and spending the next 30 years talking about how the character is gay in every single interview/comicon/video and even writing two plays and a novel about it, to finally get to voice act the character at the ripe age of 82 and canonically make them gay.

This is the life of andrew robinson. Winning out here for all of us.

Lower Decks really said “fuck it, we’re making Garashir canon” and brought back the actors to do it

"Elim and I were interrogating five Bajorans. All I wanted was a hot bath and a good meal. So l let them go. Because I was chilly and my stomach was growling, I failed in my duty and destroyed everything I had worked for!"

Garak getting exiled partially because he was hangry was the funniest lie he told ngl

"The 132 times Garak says 'Doctor'" or also known as "seven years in one minute and thirty-one seconds"
