Even Quark chose not to follow him.

What episode is this from? Doesn't ring any bells, and I didn't have any luck cross-referencing with Farscape actors, either.

S05E18 where Quark becomes an arms dealer when he's struggling for money. His cousin Galen sets him up as a salesman, and the other guy in the picture is Galen's boss

Thanks! Guess it's time for a rewatch.

[-] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

That's what I'm doing at the moment. I'm a few episodes in to season 6, and I'm really enjoying it 🙂

After watching TOS and TNG and being quite meh on every second episode, this show hits me as hard as the X-Files on my first watch. 90s shows are the millenials' holy grail. I greatly enjoy that we don't observe one crew, but have stellar, likeable or problematic favs in Ferengi, Bajoran and Cardassians. There the 'gray moralty' peaked.

You know, I see you around a lot, and I've never observed you acting like a certified asshole. What a phony! But seriously (folks), I think DS9 is pretty widely acknowledged as peak Star Trek, at least among the cognoscenti

I should check out the X-files; don't think I've seen it for at least a decade. I remember Peter Boyle's episode, and the one with the entomologist Mulder's smitten with—not much else.

I have identity problems and a low self-esteem ): I dislike my original name-handle, but I didn't come up with anything better yet.

My favorite episode of it is the Kill Switch, s5e11, co-written by William Gibson, the dad of cyberpunk the genre. If you'd have a movie night, couple it with Field Trip and Via Negativa episodes, but don't do any drugs because all three episodes are really weird on their own.

But other than big hits episodes it's just as comfy as ST or SG. Season 2 has some more creepy monsters, but it's all about dreaming of what if there's another conspiracy behind the conspiracy and the truth about little green\gray men are somewhere out there. Bonus is that the series are gender-swapped compared to its' predecessors, and Scully is the source of rational disbelief and practical objections, while Mulder always acts on his feels and values. Thanks to that, it feels somehow refreshing and validating.

Heavenly shades of night are falling

It's twilight time

Was this song there? I can't remember.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah this song is inextricably linked with Kill Switch in my head.

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Damn, I've never googled it. Nice.

Cousin Galen has his own moon!

I just checked IMDB, and apparently it's Gaila 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you think that's bad, you should have seen what he did to Moya and the crew.

[-] Window_Error_Noises@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Are you maybe thinking of the also fabulous Wayne Pygram (Scorpius), or Shane Briant (Kaarvok)? Cause Steven Berkoff (Hagath), even though he would've fit right in, wasn't on FS, unfortunately... Unless there's a joke or another reference which I'm missing, which is also 100% possible, lol

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I totally thought that was David Wheeler (Durka). My bad! Thanks for pointing that out.

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Ah well, it happens sometimes. You should see what this guy did to the Harkonnen though.

[-] Window_Error_Noises@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Durka! I thought about his character, too, but I couldn't remember the actor's darn name, or character name, only that he also fucked up Moya and her crew, lol. I can absolutely see their resemblance, most definitely. So many menacing pale dudes in great sci-fi shows

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
