Tamarian: Garak, grovelling in a corner

English: One who lives a life of violence and oppression might incorrectly identify with their former prey.

Do you think Sisko knows how to read tarot cards? Do you think the Bajorans take it incredibly seriously?

I love DS9 so much. In just one episode you get:

A Plot: Benjamin Sisko has a harrowing experience

B Plot: Kira Nerys and Jadzia Dax have a titillating lesbian moment, communicated through a series of wry sideways looks

C Plot: Julian Bashir gets really into Dry Herb Vaping

I think Julian would also identify with Superman being afraid of losing control, which is illustrated in the (awesome) Justice League series from 2001.

First, in Only a Dream we see Superman having a nightmare where his powers grow out of control to the point he incinerates Lois and crushes Jimmy with a hug.

Worse, in A Better World we see Superman in an alternate universe kill Luthor in revenge for Flash, and that Justice League become the totalitarian Justice Lords, who try to take over the main universe.

I see Julian finding the series and when he gets to Justice League Unlimited, I see him on the edge of his seat as he watches what could be the beginning of the end of everything Superman stood for and he worries about the Justice Lords truly being their future. Only, he finally comes to the episode Divided We Fall, Flash dies defeating Luthor, Superman is all set to kill him... and he doesn't.

Superman: I'm not the man who killed President Luthor. Right now, I wish to heaven that I were. But I'm not.

I mentioned once that I thought if Julian was ever chosen for a Lantern Corps, it would be the Blue Lanterns just because no matter how bleak the war gets, Julian keeps hoping - that hope takes a hit in Statistical Probabilities because the other Augments think it's hopeless and there will be an appalling loss of life, but he still refuses to give up, especially when Sisko slaps some sense into him.

How appropriate then, that you would have him idolize Superman.

It's not an S; on my world it means Hope. - Man of Steel, 2013

Do we see any other allusions to the Justice League? Because I could totally see Kira as Hawkgirl (both before and after Starcrossed, even if Thanagarians outgrew their Gods like Klingons did).

I imagine that after the truth about Julian’s genetic engineering came to light, Sisko, noted fan of 20th Century American culture and certified Father Figure, gave Julian some old books. Comic books he called them, all of them about a character called Superman

Julian reads them all, absolutely fascinated by this little boy with incredible abilities who has to hide the truth about who he is and what he can do, who has to lie about everything every day and to live every moment exercising the utmost control over his physical strength and his mental acuity and even his reflexes. This little boy who grows up with an ever present fear of being found out, but who despite his fear grows up to become a man who helps people, both when he’s using his superpowers and when he isn’t. A man who is loved for who he is, in and outside of his superpowered identity

And if Sisko notices more Superman stories being downloaded to the stations databanks, he just quietly smiles

Things that are going to happen in 2024 according to Star Trek:

1) the absolutely giant homeless-population of the USA (or was is just New York? Idk, I‘m from Europe) is going to start a civil-war fighting against the upper class and police.

2) Ireland is going to get united
