lmao so i just spent the evening in the bar with one of the members of the house of lords after the brexit debate and he was really nice! he said we should keep in touch
also i love how the ds9 costume department were like… what will civilians wear in the future? hmm. stripes
the same day i made this post i saw 3 girls wearing the same stripes as they wear in past tense. the ds9 costume department were ahead of the curve, they can do no wrong, and i have been a fool
Ds9 reboot movie w the original actors primarily focusing on the married couple Julian and Garak who go on a Bond type spy mission to save the quadrant
“My costume actually made me bleed! It was made of metallic wire and, at the end of each day I was bloody right underneath my rib cage. Bill Theiss could have easily put something in there to make it more comfortable, I’m sure. He was a very sweet man. He wasn’t sadistic. But I didn’t speak up. I was feeling too timid being there; too happy to have this particular acting job. But I wasn’t happy about the costume. The design, which I understood, was very geometric. I had a really good body, which they concealed totally, and I thought it looked like a maternity dress! I thought, ‘Maybe they see the character as trying to conceal that she is pregnant.’ So that’s what I gave myself, that idea about her.”

You’re all so afraid of Bottom-Garak, so afraid of the truth, so afraid of the progress! This is why the world is the way it is. The prophets themselves told me “Garak is a lazy bottom, only occasionally riding julian into oblivion to remind him back in the day he used to be the shit and still is”. Then he fucks up his back one night riding julian , he doesnt want to tell julian and spends all day in so much pain. Julian knows he’s in pain but doesnt want to embarrass him so he pays jake and nog to run into him and push him over so he can blame his back pain on the fall. He gets fixed up by his boo and he finally he agrees to that cardassian exercise holosuit program julian has been working hard on so he can keep up with actual energizer bunny Bashir.
when you google TNG, part of the description that comes up is, “Instead of Capt. James Kirk, a less volatile and more mature Capt. Jean-Luc Picard heads the crew” and i’m yelling because how the hell is picard “less volatile and more mature” than kirk
listen i saw the first episode today and he,
1. attempted a dangerous, purely theoretical, and never-been-done-before maneuver that literally cut the enterprise in half
2. broke his own direct order and allowed a child onto the bridge and let him sit in the captain’s chair
3. challenged the most powerful life-form any starfleet officer has ever known about 10-15 minutes after meeting him
4. also yelled at him
5. also yelled at worf
6. talked about being damned. like chill
7. beamed half of his important bridge crew aboard a fucking weirdass alien vessel that could probably destroy the enterprise in seconds
8. just casually said that most of their missions would probably be ‘more interesting’ than the one they’d just had, when everyone almost died. jesus h. christ dude
