/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

He ALSO gets to strap a bunch of guns to the place. Can’t forget that.
Starfleet: We aren’t a military, we just want to explore and do science
DS9: no, see, you don’t understand, we NEED the Defiant. And do you expect us to just, what? NOT use it?

The Defiant was what Sisko was working on between Wolf 359 and getting command of the station. Of course he wanted it!
And it took O'Brien to figure out how to not have it shake itself apart with a warp core meant for a much larger ship. Something the dedicated engineers at the ship design division couldn't solve.
I know he's the most important person in Starfleet history, but even so, I find it sus that he could do in two weeks what the starship designers couldn't figure out at all with essentially unlimited time and resources. Surely their "miracle worker" engineers aren't all in deep-space postings on starships or space stations, right?
I always head-canon that it was related to his specific experience dealing with the Cardassuan crap on DS9.

This made me laugh real hard. Thanks!
More like the military governor of a port city. Even if Starfleet isn't a military organization, the Bajoran Militia most definitely is one. And by means of the Bajoran soldiers under his direct (even divine) command, Sisko exercises legislative, executive, and judicial power at the equivalent of a municipal level, even extending over the civilian population of the station.
I want to see the timeline where Sisko declares DS9 an independent state.

That's nice, but it'd really be cool if he was also the messiah of an alien religion. Oh well.
Zathrus says he is also The One.
The One who Is.

Ifs been awhile since I've seen the first DS9 episode, but wasn't the assignment to of Sisko to DS9 supposed to be a low burden job? He's lost his wife at Wolf359 and was raising a young son by himself. It just turned into a hotbed of interest with the discovery of the worm hole.
You are correct, but only this way makes the meme work. Also he was promoted to Captain while serving on DS9.

Not quite. The low burden job was what he'd already been doing after Wolf 359, starship design at Utopia Planitia (working on the Defiant, which is why he knew about it). Reassigning him to DS9 was his CO's attempt to kick him out of that rut and get his career back on track, and he almost resigned over it.

You forgot "political shitshow" too.
And surrogate cathouse, smuggling depot, and Cardassian vole hive.
And Tribble sanctuary.
For all of five minutes before he's revealed to be a bunch of aliens' space messiah.
Star Trek: Corner Gas
Interstellar, not intergalactic
Fine, but the Beastie Boys and their giant robot disagree.
Hey, DS9 was visited by beings from another galaxy on no fewer than five occasions.
Now, was that galaxy just the Milky Way of an alternate universe? Maybe. I dare say irrelevant.
Intra-galactic also works.

Strip mall and virtual strip club.
And, briefly, weapons outlet
Cousin Gaila is better suited to that sort of thing. He has his own moon, you know.
Oh don't worry, it's going to get extremely exciting very soon - but you didn't hear it from me.

I probably should actually watch this someday
I’m jealous of you. You’re one of the lucky ten thousand today. DS9, especially after the first season working out of the kinks, it great.
Even the first season is pretty good by Trek standards!
All the 90s shows are that way, but I’d say they don’t get great until the third seasons. First seasons, kinda bad. Second seasons, pretty good. Third seasons onward, good to great, depending on episode.
Yeah, but you know that all the Star Trek shows had really bad growing pains. Hell they coined the term ‘growing the beard’ to cover how much better Star Treks get after they work out the kinks.
Yes. Yes you should. :)
i am on episode 9. i have seen all other treks except DS9 until now.
I'm not entirely sure who it was that convinced me to skip it initially all those years ago because it "wasn't a real star trek show..." but I am angry I listened to whoever told me that. I'm currently on a watch-all-of-trek kick and I just finished TOS and TNG. felt like DS9 will fit in nicely before Voyager.
The show is really good and I keep kicking myself for not having seen it for so long. absolutely give it a try.
edit: also happy lemmy cake day =P
You also get to be a major religious figure to Bajor
Commander. We do not grant you the rank of Captain
intergalactic gas station and strip mall...with a wormhole.
The wormhole must be worth a Cineplex of screens right? Mean it was on mine and I only got to see the parts they filmed.
He's a marcher ~~lord~~ captain.
A marcher lord was the English equivalent of a margrave (in the Holy Roman Empire) or a marquis (in France)
