Happy 31st anniversary, DS9!

Because 31 is the Sloan number, I hereby challenge the fandom to collectively post at least 31 new fanworks tagged "Luther Sloan" on ao3 this year (2024) to celebrate! >:)

(The original air date of the first DS9 episode was Jan 3, 1993.)

How much of an influence on DS9 was MASH? Because there are definitely times when DS9 feels like MASH in space, and I mean that in the best of ways.

I don't remember ever discussing M*A*S*H in the room, so I wouldn't say it served as an overt inspiration.

However, I watched every episode of M*A*S*H growing up (my mother was a big fan) and I'm sure the other writers were very familiar with it, too. It was still a hugely influential show in the early 90s, one that every TV writer knew well, so I suspect it had some unconscious effect.

The only episodes I can think of that might have been directly inspired by M*A*S*H are the ones we did about wartime/frontier "horse-traiding" chain deals like "Progress," "In the Cards," and "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River" which harken back to several similar "horse-trading" stories from M*A*S*H, like "Hey, Doc" and "For Want of a Boot."

But there's a long tradition of those types of stories in war and frontier fiction, with Milo Minderbinder's wheeling and dealing in "Catch-22" being a prime example. Not to mention, "chain deal" stories go all the way back to fairy tales.

For reference:

Chain of Deals - TV Tropes

Also, that's a very flattering comparison. So thanks!

tfw you're being extremely triggered by an innocuous thing that a mutual keeps reblogging but it's exactly the sort of shit that you can't reasonably ask another person to tag for

FYI if you ever want a certain moment clipped from a M*A*S*H or Star Trek episode or movie, just message me with the episode/film title and timestamp. And if you don’t know either message me a description and I’ll do my best to help you. <3
