So we’re watching an episode of DS9, and Jadzia just lost her symbiont.

If you’re watching in order, that means it’s not long until “Second Sight”. In which (spoilers) gurl qrny jvgu Sraan *nyy jebat*.

(I don’t know if anyone who minds the spoilers will read this, so I figured I’d be on the safe side. If you’re not familiar with ROT13, copy-paste the gibberish into the text box here and press the “Cypher” button (works both ways).)

I wonder what the other geeks at DS9 Rewatch thought of my ranting about it.

We Are Magneton: Oh god(s), the Tumblr set-up CAPTCHA wants me to say I’m human.

I hate when CAPTCHAs do that. Yeah, it’s such a small thing, but the smallness makes it easy to fix.

I don’t care if you’re human or not. I just want to make goddamn sure you’re not a sentient robot or something.

…you’re NOT are you?…

I did watch a lot of Voyager when I was younger, but ‘round about age thirteen (so maybe four years ago*) I started becoming more aware of plotholes and stuff. It’s still good fun if you don’t scrutinise it too much, but I don’t watch it as much as I used to.

I appear to be ace, at least for the moment. I don’t think DS9 and VOY have much different levels of aesthetic beauty in the cast**, but it’s not that big a deal for me anyway. (You want aesthetics, just skip Star Trek entirely and go watch some Tenth Doctor.)

I’ve never watched Enterprise. I remember seeing a commercial for it once and asking Mom why we didn’t watch it. I don’t remember how she phrased “Because it sucks”, but I think that was the gist.

*It seems like most of the Tumblr people I see (at least the ones with ages in their bios) are seventeen. Weird.

**Plus I can’t stare enviously at Odo with Voyager.
