#trek musing

I like that Lower Decks predicted some people would be a little disappointed at Garashir not being prime timeline so they brought them in to be stationed in the prime timeline in the next episode.

That aside I'm so happy this crew stayed together and we get to see them again. (Normally dont post spoiler stuff so fast but I'm gonna tag it at least.)

Something something Julian Bashir and Seven of Nine should meet and be best friends (and have Feelings about bodily autonomy and loss of childhood and being the odd one out and never quite certain about social interactions and and and...)

An Odo/Lwaxana fake marriage ploy was not on my DS9 bingo card

Especially not in the same episode where a different psychic milf slurps Jake's life force through his brain but ok

also, missed opportunity to force Worf to deliver another baby

Tumblr wasn't lying. Star Trek: Enterprise really does have scenes with egregious close-ups of the cast oiling themselves up in their underwear

dr. mora is such a #AutismWarriorMom. literally everything about what he says about and to odo, down to talking about him as a project that he's invested so much time and effort into. also his incessant commenting on his "progress" in "social integration" and willingness to humiliate him in front of his peers in order to make himself look better. and then he triggers a meltdown (in every sense of the word) to convince odo that No One Else Will Understand Him and Look What A Scary Oddity You Are To Normal People. frankly I commend odo's self-control in not wrapping a slime-appendage around mora's throat

Sharing this take here too. I, Excretus, wej Duj and First First Contact are a really special trio of episodes and almost single handedly carry season 2's placement as the best season of the show for me. But it was basically consistently good after this.

I just want someone to ask Julian if it hurt, when he was enhanced.

You know, just for one of his friends to have really think about what having such drastic bodily changes might include, and what having the procedure done in a place without Federation medical standards might mean...

(Perhaps Keiko or Miles have a moment when they've taken Molly to the infirmary and Julian is reassuring her that it will only hurt a little bit--

Or Odo had been wanting to discuss Dr Mora with someone who might understand a little of what he went through, and ends up noticing that Julian seems to be relating to his past far more than he expected--

Or Ezri overhears some remark Julian makes to Sarina about how he goes his infirmary feels far safer than the ones their parents had left them in--

Or Garak realises why he doesn't feel like deriding the book that Julian has chosen this week, despite the fact that the plot of Matilda is absurdly ridiculous--)

...And maybe Julian would reply that no, it didn't hurt. There's no canonical evidence, as far as I'm aware, and his parents did find a 'decent doctor', after all.

But I think he'd get a funny, unfocused look in his eyes for a few moments, before saying, "No-one's ever asked me that before."

"And? Did it?" they might ask softly, a little unsure if they actually want to hear the answer.

And Julian would frown: appearing puzzled, though, rather than troubled.

"Of course," he'd reply. "I'd thought that was obvious."
