ok but on that note do tardises have any form of complex language? what is their limit on communication with gallifreyans? Is this different for their pilots? do they talk with other time ships. do they gossip 

This is making me really want to hear a conversation between a TARDIS and a Prophet.

The picture just before Garak murders everyone on the station.

So, since I sort of started a thing, I thought I should contribute. Here we have the DS9 crew (or as many of them as I could get in a decent pic) in their holiday gear.

Jewish Siskos are jakeziyal’s idea, I think? (correct me if I’m wrong)

(Make sure to read the “murders everyone on the station” link, too. It’s hilarious.)

I saw a post complaining about the lack of Hanukkah-themed stuff during the spate of holiday (= Christmas) fanworks that start appearing ‘round this time, and I realized that sadly, in the Star Trek universe this makes sense. because Christmas has produced far more commercial and secularized traditions that non-Christians are well aware of; so Starfleet officers would have a vague knowledge of mistletoe but not dreidel. (wait a sec, is there really NO RELIGION among Federation members? damn you, Gene.)

but then I was like “okay who among the DS9 humans would be most likely to have Jewish heritage, even if it’s wayyy in the past” and well — not the O’Briens, not Bashir, so the most likely contenders are the Siskos.

and then I imagined SISKO MAKING LATKES and GRANDPA SISKO LIGHTING THE MENORAH and this is the story of how I died

Sisko making latkes = best thing ever.  GODDAMMIT I MIGHT HAVE TO WRITE A ONESHOT ON THAT NOW.

Spin-offs always do an episode that’s about differentiating themselves from the original show. I vote we call those episodes “Punching Q in the Face episodes”.

I love that Sisko is the lone human on DS9 who doesn’t get nostalgic for 20th/21st century Earth*, not out of some vague sense of moral standards but because he’s been there and cops beat the shit out of him.

*with the exception of baseball, of course

Here’s something to think about: Odo is self-taught.

No mentor. No tracks to follow. Just plunked into an office by himself on a chaotic station. And he went, in a matter of years, from ‘guy randomly assigned to investigate a murder who borks it up’ to ‘single-handed enforcer of justice with a network of contacts that stretches from Starfleet to Cardassia Prime’.

He doesn’t just keep a lid on station shenanigans. He interrupts smuggling rings that are entirely off station. His tendrils are everywhere. And he’s always watching.

And this is our Odo. Who means well.

I can very easily see how the Dominion came to be.

[I know it wasn’t ever possible, but I’d have loved to see a crossover between DS9 and Voyager. Just the conversations and different points of view would be interesting. The juxtaposition between certain people and elements especially. Sisko, having a family with career opposite Janeway who chose a different path. Kira and Chakotay’s feelings on the Cardassians. B’Elanna and Worf’s different ways of being Klingon. Quark and Neelix, Tuvok and Odo, O’Brien and Harry, Jadzia and Seven…]

I take your crossover episode and raise you a movie complete with Changeling/Borg Alliance.

Changeling/Borg alliance.

Changeling. Borg. Alliance.

…that is an intriguing idea.

(Both creepy hive minds. It’s a safe bet neither of them can assimilate the other, so there isn’t that threat. The Borg can bring an order more complete than the Founders ever could. The Founders can teach them advanced genetic engineering to complement their inorganic technology, reshaping their drones’ organic parts as well as augmenting them.)
