love love love LOVE how they use By Inferno's Light to show not only Garak fighting his claustrophobia, but the Klingon reaction to claustrophobia. A weak writer would've implied that such a thing was cowardice, but both Worf AND Martok (who is first to the Chancellor himself) see this as the ultimate act of bravery.
Martok: There is no greater enemy than one's own fears.
Worf: It takes a brave man to face them.
This is just so... I love Klingons. I love what DS9 brings to Klingons. Phobias and mental health alike, they're not weak, they are the ultimate enemy to wage continuous war against, and gain honor through. That's so much more powerful than what a weaker writer would've done with it.
i haven't had much time or energy to do anything, because of the holidays and some medical stuff, but I've been doing some sketching throughout these last two weeks so here is a sketch dump!
STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE // S5E21 Soldiers of the Empire
Your actions on the Rotarran, at the time I thought they were disloyal, but I have come to realize that your intention was to remind me of my duty as a soldier of the Empire. For that, I am grateful.
I love how in A Time to Stand there's the moment where Julian is looking for a fight but Sisko is just sad and calm and his calmness and unwillingness to take the bait breaks Julian out of his upset.
