Welcome to my blog!

Going to review every book in my collection as it grows. Reviewing based on the following criteria, always without spoilers:

Fun level: was this a fun read? Was it silly?

In character: did the author know the characters well, did you find yourself saying ", he would not fucking say that"

Visual/imagery: how well an author describes the scenes and settings,character actions/emotions.

Bechdal test: can they write women? Can they do it well? Do the women get lines not at or about a man.

And sci-fi emersion: do they talk about the technical jargon? Do they talk about alien society and world build? How crazy do they get without the constraints of tv budget.

All will be on a scale of 1-5... And I'll add notes about what I did or didn't like, and who the story is about. I'll tag each main character of a story unless it's spoilers

sorry i really dislike how you're framing this quote from siddig so i'm going to post the full thing here because the way he actually says it has more depth!

"The Arab community in the 90s was just getting on with their business. Much like many other communities from around the world that existed in the United States. It was only really after 9-11 that it became extraordinarily important so in a way Star Trek didn’t need to worry so much about Bashir’s Arabness. Had we shot the show in the 21st century I suspect it would have been a much bigger deal. There would have been a lot more chat about that. Instead of the Bajorans being terrorists/freedom fighters, they may have put Bashir’s character in the middle of that instead of Major Kira. That would have been a more accurate representation of what was going on in the world at that time but it would have changed the show completely.

I’m relieved that the show ended before 9-11 so we didn’t have to answer to that. If it happened before Deep Space Nine happened at all I probably wouldn’t have been cast. I would probably have been cast as Major Kira, and Major Kira might have been cast as the doctor. Nana might have been cast as the doctor."

via comicsbeat's interview with siddig

I’ve seen a post talking about Deep Space Nine being pre-9/11 show and I’ve never felt that more than Kira talking to Tom Riker and literally going “dude you’re so bad at being a terrorist, you don’t have that dog in you, if I was in your shoes right now I would’ve been murdering everyone I could because I was a an effective terrorist and that’s what an effective terrorist would do”, and it’s not presented as Kira being evil or unhinged, she’s just making a (correct!) observation about the situation.

TOS Tricorder

[rebisrot]

i'm so sure that as with a lot of tos ideas this thought has been had before but i think a lot about how in amok time, after spock believes himself to have killed kirk, his first order of business is to turn himself in at the nearest starbase and be charged for kirk's death. this is despite the fact that, with the way we see the prime directive referenced in relation to federation planets in tos (ex. the cloud minders) it is entirely likely that since the kal-if-fee is a vulcan tradition that kirk consented to (granted, without full knowledge it was to the death when he did) that happened on vulcan under the eye of T'pau (who we know the federation wants to keep good relations with), that the non-interference rule would apply in this situation and prevent the federation/starfleet from prosecuting spock for any crime. there's no doubt too that spock would recognize this but the cognitive dissonance from just having killed his closest friend and the overwhelming guilt would cause him to want to force punishment however he could get it. had he really killed kirk i think the federation would have refused to prosecute and he would have resigned from his post and gone off to complete his kolinahr.
