The Way Odo Calls The Founders “my People”

I love how Star Trek will have the most heartbreaking dialogue over the worst CGI you've ever seen, like a real tv show should

Star Trek TOS: *Stablishes that the touching of hands is incredibly intimate in Vulcan culture akin to fully making out.*

Star Trek TOS: *shows us Spock holding Jim's hand while talking about the importance of his feelings.*

The fandom: *reads it as romantic.*

The writers: oh my god, that's crazy, where did you get that from?

Star Trek DS9: *Stablishes that, in cardassian culture, flirtation is done by arguing and bickering, that is how they show interest in another person.*

Star Trek DS9: *Constantly shows Garak and Bashir arguing and bickering, including a scene where Julian shoots at him and everything.*

The fandom: *reads it as romantic.*

The writers: OH MY GOD, THAT'S CRAZY, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

KIRA NERYS - STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE S1E12 Vortex

I have thoughts about that one time Kira and Odo spent hours in a closet together

the religious storylines on ds9 are crazy if you really think about it. imagine being in the mall and seeing the gates of heaven open outside auntie anne's pretzels

Odo said he'd always felt an unshakable intrinsic sense of justice, so inherent that it must be a trait of his species as a whole, making it the one thing he could trust, the one thing he knew about himself: that he is just, that there are others like him who are also just. But when he meets the other changelings, he realizes he was wrong, that they don't care for justice. "I've devoted my life to the pursuit of justice, but justice means nothing to you, does it?". The other changeling replies to him that "it is not justice you desire, Odo, but order, the same as we do", leaving there a question. If she is right, then Odo has misunderstood himself completely all his life. If she isn't, then he is different from the people who are supposed to be his equals, his family, his home. This question should tear him apart, but he doesn't hesitate for even a second. He knows the answer, and even if the implications and consequences are bound to be devastating, he replies: "I already have a link... With these people". His family. His home

in these trying times i have made up the concept of a star trek musical

Rom is genuinely so rad like. Imagine having enough charisma to successfully unionize your workplace as a FERENGI of all people, striking against your own family member, even after getting severely threatened by the FCA completely refusing to back down until all of the worker demands are met. only to quit his job anyways immediately after getting the demands for the other workers. Absolute chad

This is maybe the funniest DS9 meme I've come across and I'd love to be proven wrong

forgot to post this yesterday because I kept getting swept away by her writing on every page, but. Nana Visitor the woman that you are
