    Is this “jumping the shark” or “knowing your audience?”

        Seven could do it naked and win, because she doesn’t give a fuck. Q2 got bored of her in 5 seconds because she was completely unfazed.

      Pretty much the gay couple was originally supposed to be Bashir and Garak, but they were worried that anything involving penises is too gay for people in the 90’s.

            Not only that, but viewing it from Discuss.Online also somehow works, even from Firefox on Android? Perhaps some kind of proxy process, or maybe even a timing issue like if their http (rather than https) connection did not work at some point, but then later did? Technology is weird - and fun! :-D

                All I can think of is how poorly she was mistreated behind the scenes of the show - it really sucks to “know things”, why can’t I just go back to enjoying life without needing to retain knowledge in my noggin?

                  I sense a long response, but how and why was she being mistreated? I’m just mad they had to write Jadzia off and replace her with that pixie-looking girl (Ezri). Jadzia and Worf dynamics were the best.

        That must be it bc the color is all off…

        Also part of the joke is that any image from Reddit is somehow tainted and therefore a bit like a downvote in itself to have shared it? I dunno, maybe I need to be high(er) to understand that one better… 🤣
