This Day Aria: a gorgeous and dramatic aria building tension to the final confrontation of the episode, both hinting at the villain’s true plans and the true love that Cadence has for her fiancé

Church: What's going on? Are they there? Did they leave? Hey, somebody tell me what's happening!

Tucker: I don't know, I can't really see too clearly. I bet I could see better if I had that sniper rifle...

Church: Uh, Tucker, you might wanna look behind you.

Tucker turns around and sees Caboose with the sniper rifle.

Tucker: Mother fucker!

Caboose: Uh, ooo Church, Church! Okay, I s-I see something... okay... uh the two red ones are walking away... uhhh... but the purple one is...

O'Malley: I think he's going to attack.

Church: Purple? Oh wait, the purple guy's that worthless medic.

Tucker: He's not gonna attack, he's a pussy fest.

Church: Pacifist.

Tucker: Ahhh, whatever, let's tie him up and roll him through the teleporter.

Church: Wait a second, wait a second, think about this for a minute. Why would the Reds leave him out there by himself? This has to be some kind of trick.

Caboose: I'll bet they've used some kind of brain washing technique on him. They're, they're probably planning to have him do all their dirty plans... and also the schemes...

Camera view changes to looking through the scope of the sniper rifle.

Tucker: Caboose, that is ridiculous.

Caboose: Is it? Or is it so ridiculous, (scope zooms in on Tucker's face) it's the most ridiculously perfect idea that you never thought of?

Tucker: No, just the regular kinda ridiculous.

Normal view resumes.

Church: Well just keep your eye on him. We'll know it's a trick if he tries to get into our base.

Doc: (from afar) Hey, guys, uh, do you think I could come and hang out at your base for a while?

Caboose: I knew it! We're all gonna die!

O'Malley: (aiming at the back of Tucker's head) Starting with you.

Tucker: Sorry, but we're kinda busy here. So go away.. or something.

Doc: Normally I wouldn't impose, it's just that I don't know the neighborhood too well, and-

Church: Listen, Doc, you're not fooling anybody with that innocent victim routine.

Doc: Hey, uh, I could help! I know more than just medicine! I'm trained in psychology too. Maybe I could help you with your problem facing people!

Church: Just.. get outta here! And tell your buddies the Reds that their little "plan" failed.

Doc: ...Well this is just great. I can't believe I failed outta medical school for this.

I was asked for a comparison between the eng and italian scene of Sky's speech to Dark Bloom, so here's my findings

Here, the dialogue is completely different in Cinelume. Italian below

Lockette: What should we do? Sky: We can't abandon her. There must still be somewhere in her heart a memory of us.

Cinelume instead...

Lockette: Sky...! Sky: I know Lockette, you did everything you could. I'll try and give it one last shot.

I really don't like the implication that this was Sky's last attempt in Cinelume, meanwhile the real italian Sky is determined to bring her back through her *own* agency and memories. He refuses to give her up. Also Lockette didn't do shit

Interesting choice of words from the italian original, where Darkar says "You think you can convert her to the light?". In Cinelume, he says "Bring her back to the light". I think the original Darkar implies that Bloom is now fully a creature of darkness, that there's never been a chance to save her to begin with, forever corrupted. My own interpretation, but just a few words can change a lot. It's not "bring her back", it's "convert her".

There's also... a lot of awkward silence that wasn't in the original italian. So the scene is a little weird in the Cinelume dub, pacing wise.

In italian, Sky says "Please Bloom, react!" during his speech with Dark Bloom. Should I translate it as "Fight back!"? It's the implied meaning, roughly. It's better than "Wake up!" used in Cinelume. Sky gives Bloom agency, he trusts her, he knows she's still in there. Sky doesn't see Bloom as a helpless victim!

And last, his final words before passing out...

Italian

I wanted to spend more time with you... because I care more about you than anyone else in the world. (You must) Believe me, my love! Please Bloom... fight back!

Cinelume...

Maybe, the only thing I wanted, really, was to spend more time with you. Because I care more about you than anyone else in the world. Please, Bloom, please.

He's much more romantic and determined than Cinelume, dare I say...

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Season 2 Episode 26 "Jem'Hadar"

2x26 - The Jem'Hadar

[dalesramblingsblog]

Rewatching The Jem'Hadar, it's always amazing how casual it feels. Not just in the obvious ways like the charming interactions between the Siskos early on, but just like... this is the most casual game-changing episode the show ever did, probably.

"Yeah, two members of the cast get captured but not really and escape after a single conversation with their jailor, no big deal really, but also we just destroyed the not-Enterprise three weeks after All Good Things... and we're not sorry about it, and maybe the Ferengi don't suck? IDK, just something to think about, OK see you in the fall!"

Absolutely iconic, wouldn't change a thing.
