Watching the Search be like: TREKKING? In the STARS?? In THESE conditions???

DS9 3x01 & 3x02 The Search thoughts (I'm re-watching, so there may be future spoilers)

Part One

Loving Jadzia's hairstyle

The Defiant! :D

Eddington, you slimeball

"I wonder when I started thinking of this Cardassian monstrosity as home?" I love how well Jake knows his dad, and can pinpoint it

"Maybe I'm your friend, and maybe I want you to see that you are still needed here no matter what some idiot Starfleet admiral might think." I really like Kira/Odo, actually. It keeps checking out this early on

I love how they always have to contrive a reason to bring Quark along. And by they I mean both the DS9 crew and the episode writers

"Rom only has a son to think about. I have a business." Checks out.

Honestly, this does kind of feel like Sisko's just bullying Quark

"I've downloaded as many of my files from the station as I can." Since we now know Julian's memory is Excellent, I kind of wonder if this is laying the groundwork for Sisko to assume that any knowledge Julian does have comes from the aforementioned downloaded files, rather than wondering how he knows it. (That was an awful English sentence, sorry.)

Sisko's and Kira smiles when Odo calls in :3

"Odo!" Lol Quark is genuinely so excited to see him

AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES!!!

"Am I glad to see you." This is all very Quodo

I love how ominous the searching ships manage to look

Quark is in his element here

"Can I speak freely?.. What the hell is WRONG with Starfleet?!!!" Kira is always incredibly wonderful

OHHH I forgot this would be the hallucination one!

"NO-ONE is expendable." Doctor Bashir my beloved <3

"Prepare to leave orbit, Major." "Commander!" "As you were Doctor." I just really love this interaction. Julian's always gotta save everyone <3

Part Two

"Odo this isn't a police interrogation." XD This is just how he interacts with people tho

"He really is happy to be here." Kira knows him so well <3

Female changeling immediately going for a link against others' protests. She justifies it with "He's been gone too long. He needs to remember, if only for a moment" - but I'm sure she's very eager to learn everything you can from him as soon as possible

Jadzia and Miles just turning up felt way too convenient the first time watching this... Now it's understandable.

This Garak is made from Julian's thoughts of him. This Garak says, "I've missed you."

I'm still feeling betrayed by Starfleet here, even though I know none of this is real 😅

Sisko's imagination suggests he expects to be disappointed by Starfleet...

"The urge to return home was implanted in your genetic makeup." These people really love genetic manipulation, huh?

>>>>> OOOOF I HAVE NEVER MADE THE CONNECTION THAT THEY ARE FIGHTING GENETICALLY ENGINEERED BEINGS FOR BASICALLY THE ENTIRETY OF DS9.

"You see, I have a dream. A dream that one day all people, human, Jem'Hadar, Ferengi, Cardassians, will stand together in peace around my dabo tables." Oh, Quark....

Julian getting in the Jem'Hadar's face to protect Miles :3 "That's enough." I love it when he's furious

Garakkk what are you dooooooing???

"I pretend to be their friend... and then I shoot you." Ah, that's what you're doing. XD Garak's one-liners are always top-notch

Garak dying in Bashir's arms is everything. Time to go read a lot of fanfic.... <3

That Vorta is weirdly uncaring about Odo, having seen the other Vorta's reaction to him later in the series.

This is EXCELLENT - although I think it definitely confused me having memories of this episode later down the line but not remembering it had been in a dream. But yes, VERY GOOD. (Not least because of the Garashir, I'm sorry, what can I say, I'm a person of simple pleasures.)

If you could retcon one thing from any Star Trek property, what would you choose?

Cause personally--- I'm getting rid of that weird cave scene between Saavik and Spock in Search for Spock 🤢

[andyoullhearitagain]

He likes to be tall.

[ectogeo-rebubbles]

Mr. Garak, I never knew we thought so much alike.

Ok so… Garak dying in Julian’s arms in the group hallucination…. Was that like all Bashir’s influence or is that how the whole crew views them? And if they didn’t before do they have a new opinion on the two?

[vasquez-rocks]

VOTER'S GUIDE: WORF: ignored alexander so hard he kind of just vanished from two separate shows GUL DUKAT: tried to kill ziyal! like he loved her after but he did do that JAMES T KIRK: according to snw he knew carol marcus was pregnant. you've got no excuse, dude! RICHARD BASHIR: did eugenics on a twink ENABRAN TAIN: bad CIA type stuff. also never called his son his son and also told him that he wished he’d killed his son’s mom before said son had ever been born. lotsa options here SPOCK: was saavik his kid? you decide! SAREK: three kids and they turned out (in birth order) evil, sent to the future in a time portal, and gay JADZIA DAX: idk one time she said she hadn't been a good father? i just think she'd like to be included

Elim Garak: fucking around vs finding out

[respocked]

Starfleet building The Defiant and planning a war fleet after the attack from the Borg........... after "not believing in warships" for years........... a ship that has no science labs.................

Lost in the sauce @frogayyyy

God damn I love Odo. My goopy guy. My slime sister. My mucus man. My gunk girl. My sludge sweetheart.

Someone remind me when I’m on my deathbed that I want my last words to be, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to have lunch with you today,” to whoever happens to be there
