I love h&I one episode of each Star Trek per night. Anybody else watch the channel?

Tonight on ds9 why the fuck does everyone try to make Nog disavow Starfleet. Even Jake. Captain Sisko riding his ass hard. Wtf. Nog has the will and more gumption than Wesley or that methanol breather on TNG .

In hindsight it’s retarded they gave Nog that much shit for joining Starfleet. Data and Worf are just walking around the Enterprise, some half-Romulan started a Red scare and Picard had to do a whole courtroom speech to shut that shit down.

We were still so mad about Wesley Crusher. So they’re like “alright this time the cadet’s gonna earn his keep.” Nog gets screamed at, hits the books, gets his leg blown off in the war.... they also made his satellite ears useful, with Nog acting as a scout.

I like that in-universe both career paths are completely explainable. Nog got into it during the dominion war, bull rushed the academy, sent into the war in the middle of it, got I think like two separate war time promotions, makes sense for a high enterprising ferengi who has found his calling.

Kim meanwhile is stuck completely cut off from Star fleet and in a position where he's both needed and can't easily be rotated out. Makes complete sense he doesn't advance. Also think it's not that unusual for personnel to just remain as ensigns for the length of their service. Probably a lot of people aren't lifers like most of the cast we follow but just serve for five or ten years then go do something else (join the Maquis).

It's from the episode "Won't get Fooled Again".

It's like an entire fever dream episode. Almost feels like the kind of episode that turns into a "remember when" clip episode which is a sneaky way to give the cast and crew a bit of a break but more creative.

This part near the end was the chef's kiss for me:

The episode heart of stone?

Because the kid was a little deliquent! They had to be sure his resolve was genuine or whether it was a scam.

Plus, you know, being starfleet is hard. You got to face borg, dominion, random anomalies and crystaline entities. Remember Q's words to Picard?

Sisko is just giving Nog his version of that.
