I want a show about people who kill vampires and demons, but in a sciencey way. The protagonists have arguments about the chemistry of their holy water and phylogenetic trees of evil… Jaded grad students, saving the world from hellbeasts through pcr… (And lab work takes exactly as much time and money as lab work really takes, and sometimes it isn’t conclusive or helpful at all.)
I want someone to writing a dissertation about the ecology of endangered fish exposed to rivers of blood, and I want someone else working on whose blood is it, anyway? I want them to say sniping things about each others’ work in the literature, but still go out for beers.

I want people who are utterly fascinated by the neurobiology of demonic possession, and who work sixteen hour days to understand it, just because it’s so neat.

I want students coming into a demon lab who just want to work on something normal, and can’t understand why their advisor keeps trying to interest them in side projects on evil brain leeches.

I want postdocs writing grants for DNA microarrays and having to scrap their whole agenda for fighting the fucking apocalypse when the funding agency gets back to let them know that they don’t really think their work has broader impacts.
And in the middle of all this, I want angels who can’t lie, but who only speak the English that they learned from a bad traveler’s phrasebook (Excuse me, where is the train station?) and a geologist who exists only to make gneiss puns.
(Also, no white men.)

Essentially, I want all pulpy genre fiction to be from the POV of disaffected grad students. Is that too much to ask?

Oh man so much Gul Dukat in this episode

I wonder how many different videos he had to film depending on all the possible scenarios

Like a choose your own adventure book

‘Okay, now we’re going to film your reaction to if the Bajorans take over ops’
‘And now, if the Bajorans take over Garak’s shop and set up a small clothing franchise’
‘Alright for our last take how would you react to a hypothetical in which the Bajorans have knitted a giant hat that they are trying to place over ds9’

 

spockandhiskillerbriefcase:

#DUDE MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE FILMING STUDIO ALL DAY #WORKING THROUGH LUNCH #IT’S HARD OUT THERE FOR A CARDIE #hannah watches ds9

Maybe he was bored.

Bajoran Workers. Your attempt at finding my hard researched Tribble Porn Collection will fail.

 

airandangels:

Bajoran Workers – please form an orderly line and I will service those of you I deem acceptable in due course.

 

hellscabanaboy:

Shit man Dukat’s time in the film studio is like his favorite part of his day (except maybe the part where he saves innocent Bajoran ladies from a life of ignorance and ok I grossed myself out). He watches every take himself and selects the best parts (and he knows what the best parts are because he pays a lot of attention) and re-records them when they don’t show his neck ridges to best advantage. And he redoes the whole thing every once in a while because he has added an air of dignified Gul-hood since it was last filmed and his public appearance should reflect that.

 

airandangels:

It’s a pity he didn’t find his calling directing and starring in state propaganda films. I hope, of the many alternate universes, there’s one where that’s exactly what he’s doing and he’s very happy.

 

emir-dynamite:

S. G. Dukat, Star Of Stage And Screen?

 

lunchingwithfoxes:

Bajoran workers, surrender to your supervisors and minimize the confiscation of knitwear. I repeat, surrender and the re-acquisition of your knitted vests will be kept to a minimum.

 

sophistory:

Bajoran workers. Look at your Gul. Now back to me. Now back at your Gul. Now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using Flaxian body wash and switched to Risian Breeze, he could smell like he’s me. Look down. Look back up. Where are you? You’re in a holosuite, with the Gul your Gul could smell like. What’s in your hand? Back at me. I have it, it’s a taspar egg with two tickets to a candle-lit dinner in my quarters. Look again – the tickets are now jevonite. Anything is possible when your Gul smells like Risian Breeze, and not a Flaxian itinerant. I’m on a space station.

Anonymous asked: …How far do you think the idea of expandable blades could go? Because if you could shrink a razor enough to get into somebody’s food, then later expand even to just 1/2 inches long? That’s a lot of lacerations, and a bezoar won’t fix it…

thepostmodernpottercompendium:

Obviously I am into this. Would make for excellent assassination plot, working around the bezoar problem. Ofc these are wizards we are talking about, so expandable blades could have been adapted to suit various different circumstances. This would be exactly the sort of thing a professional assassin in the wizarding world would use, possibly also Death Eaters.

Of course, now I want actual assassins in the wizarding world and also spies and espionage and all that sort of thing. 

James Bond. I want wizarding James Bond.

[When my husband started playing Star Trek Online, he mentioned you can go to Empok Nor. My first thought was to wonder if Keevan’s body is STILL running into the bulkhead.]

That never crossed my mind lol. Though I’m thinking maybe the Jem’hadar who had been flying around the station picked it up and disposed of it somehow…

isn’t covenant in s7 set on empok nor? it might not be but i’m like 90% sure it is, and, well, i like to imagine dukat sort of just standing there officiously trying to get his attention for a bit and then just getting a cultist to dispose of him when he realises what’s going on.

Covenant is definitely set on Empok Nor, and now I need crackfic of Dukat and the Bajoran cultists discovering Keevan.

(It would have been semi-hilarious if they could’ve been all “well, let’s just leave him there as a…talking point/tourist attraction/mascot and then Covenant featured a very tall extra in Vorta makeup walking into a bulkhead in a background shot at some point, but I have the feeling that the writers probably forgot about Keevan by that point.) 

…although, wait, wouldn’t Keevan’s body be rather corpsified and gross at that point? I guess that you could technobabble up whatever they did to remote-control him also ended up preserving him, but…now I’m imagining at least one of those Bajoran cultists going “…uh never mind, I’m outta here” after being greeted by the sight of a zombie Vorta walking into a bulkhead upon their arrival at Empok Nor, and Dukat desperately trying to spin it into some kind of good omen. Yeah, this is definitely the stuff that crackfic is made of.
