It's about DS9 nothing else

I think about Earth Alliance President Clark a lot nowadays.

There’s some really poignant lines about following illegal orders. If you like DS9 and don’t like what’s happening under the current US government I implore you to watch Babylon 5.

Spoilers, and the clip hits so much harder when you’ve watched the build-up, but if you need convincing here’s a small sample about how topical this show still is.

If you really need convincing here’s one of the best speeches regarding invasion I’ve ever seen.

A) no single author is being promoted, and based off of the pfp the poster in the screenshot is female. B) it’s making fun of a writing style often seen used by male authors

This and full white dev/publisher logo screens. I have a pretty large HDR monitor and whenever I boot up a Bandai Namco game I’ll flashback myself if I don’t look away in time.

So should I have only responded by linking an assassination video? DS9 and B5 are closely linked for many reasons and B5 has an actual Earth v Earth conflict that mirrors our present day. I’m not sure how to respond to this comment except to ask; what did you find so lacking in my original response?

There are a couple of ways to pronounce the letter ‘H’ that could sound like ‘age’; one that keeps a soft ‘hah’ sound before ‘aitch’ and one that drops the soft ‘hah’. Both can end up sounding similar to a cross between eight/age depending on how clearly you enunciate.

Edit; Age also has a sharper ‘tch’ sound when spoken in those accents. There are probably accents that use a softer ‘g’ sound

First, I did ask twice. I haven’t edited my comments so you’re free to reread them. Secondly, I’m not sure what I did to make you think I pissed in your Cheerios. We’re on the same page. I never said you had to be Worf in this scenario as that’s completely unrealistic. I was sharing a similar show that included a multi year story line about resisting home grown fascism.

I’m sorry I didn’t pass your purity test while commenting in a science fiction community.

I fell under ‘wee English fella’. I was the de facto stage manager at my high school and all the crew called me grandpa or gramps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There was also that time I wore a turtleneck/blazer combo so even the cast was calling me Captain haha
