See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

the-overanalyzer asked:

I have this completely irrational hopeless hope that we'll somehow discover like three more seasons of DS9 sometime in the next week, because I don't want these notes to end.

AAAWWWW. I know the feel!

I was actually just joking to memory-for-trifles that I’ll probably end up just writing my own spec scripts for more episodes within days of finishing it.

Star Trek: DS9 Notes: S7, Vol. 5

THE PENULTIMATE NOTES BATCH.

How. I don’t even know??? ? what to do??

Anyway while we fail to cope, here’s a real fact: one third of my screencaps in this one are of Miles & Julian. I did not realize this until it was too late. Rather like their relationship.

Catch me flinging myself toward unreachable expression of how much this show has meant and will forever mean to me in the next (last!!) set, but right now let’s just get in here and kinkshame Weyoun.

7x19 ‘Strange Bedfellows: Part 3’
- Weyoun: “We will secure the prisoners below. They will share a cell. They may wish to—physically comfort each other on the long trip back to Cardassia.” what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck. I cannot believe you are implying Weyoun likes to watch. it was bad enough when he wanted to see Julian eat.
- Weyoun: “I find interspecies mating rituals fascinating to watch.” [THROWS HANDS UP IN THE AIR]
- well I’m glad the Breen translation issue is being lampshaded at least

Star Trek: DS9 Notes - S7, Vol. 4

Slightly delayed, greatly enjoyed.

7x15 ‘Badda-Bing Badda-Bang’
- holy heck did I black out or something is that why I had not remembered reading “HEIST EPISODE” in @rainbowrites’ primer?? AKA MY DREAM. not even this taking place in the Vic-world can bring me down!
- Vic: “I don’t look good in buckskin.”
  Miles: [chuckles way more than anticipated]

well 100% is there an inside joke here

- damn Vic’s just got a whole lot more interesting
- aww, Nog’s loyalty has been ACTIVATED. always one of his strongest traits.
- Frankie Eyes is what’s called a jack-in-the-box. Felix designed it. well I’ll be.
- Julian: “Vic Fontaine’s hotel has just been bought by…gangsters.”
  Sisko: “I see. When do you plan on going back to work?”

 hahahahahahahaa

- omg, now Kasidy’s fretting about Vic’s too! Ben cannot believe these dweebs he lives with

Anonymous asked:

Hey! Love reading your DS9 squee/meta and I wanted to ask if you had any thoughts on Sisko & Bashir’s relaysh/lack thereof? I find it interesting because I find it hard to pin down. Outside their roles of Captain and doctor, Sisko seems to behave paternally towards him, but in kind of a distant, impersonal way. Not uncaring, but it’s interesting compared to Kassidy greeting Bashir with “Hello, stranger!” She just sounds like a Mum teasing her teenage son about the fact he’s holed up in his room

and again those two aren’t really close, but she’s not as distant as Sisko. It gives me the impression that at one point trying to handle Julian Sisko slipped into Dad-mode, found it worked and so keeps doing it, even though he’s not sure WHY it works. Julian does come across as the baby of the command crew, what with Jadzia being joined with several lifetimes of experience and Kira who, despite being younger than both Jadzia and Julian only answers to Sisko

and, IMO, comes across as his contemporary. I don’t know, I would have liked to have seen them stuck in the past for a little while longer, see what came it.

Hi!! And hilarious, I didn’t even know Kira was supposed to be younger than Julian! Not that I thought she was significantly older, but I would have guessed she had like, exactly one year on him, and would neeever let him forget it. Because hohh yeah that kid is The Youngest. I mean isn’t “Young” literally Dax’s one-word description of him in one of the first episodes?

But I’m actually not sure I’d say that Sisko treats the station’s precocious child with a paternal distance, because I don’t think those words really go together with Ben. We see what his Dad-mode is with Jake, and we also see him with his own dad, and if I had to pick one word that characterizes those relationships, it would be WARMTH. The Sisko men are extraordinarily affectionate with each other, which is the marker by which we can see that no, he’s not particularly affectionate with Julian. They have a fond and functional working relationship, but they aren’t close.

You know, you mentioned “Outside their roles of Captain and doctor,” and I almost wonder if there isn’t really an outside of those roles for them. They might be one of the most officer-y pairs on the station, actually. Like, I’m not the only one who feels like we’ve time traveled to some field camp in France any time Julian calls Captain Sisko ‘sir’, right? Julian just goes profoundly Lieutenant around him at times, and if you’re Sisko, the correct response to this is to be very Captain in return.

Honestly, I think I’d actually suggest that the exception to Sisko’s usual would be if he WERE to move beyond the Starfleet semi-formal. It’s special that he and Major Kira have developed a personal relationship. His friendship with Dax predates his tenure on DS9, so she’s an exception as well, but beyond that, Ben’s really not that close with anyone else. He behaves much like he does with Julian with Worf, Chief O’Brien, Odo, Nog. It’s the tragedy of being the Captain, because to be a good commanding officer — and Benjamin Sisko is — he needs to maintain some distance. Which means we end up with the rather adorable fact that one of the most reliable ways the show has come up with to let him show CO-appropriate affection for his senior staff, is to adamantly defend them in legal entanglements. Across a whole series of space courts he has served as the chief defense counsel for Jadzia, Worf, and Julian, and fought like the dickens behind the scenes for Miles as well, and every time my reaction is just like \o/ THE CAPTAIN IS HERE, WE’RE SAVED. Which is how I imagine his crew feels in those moments too.

Anyway, it’s all the way at the end here that I suddenly realize it may have meant something that Kasidy’s familial “Well hello stranger” to Julian takes place at the start of the episode in which Ben begins hard fretting over her Not Being In Starfleet.

Prodigal Daughter is a boring episode that doesn’t feel like Star Trek at all, HOWEVER, there’s nothing that could make you dislike Ezri. Don’t watch it but.. maybe you could watch just the first few minutes? Julian worrying about Miles is always a good thing to watch. After that the story gets boring. (As for Field of Fire.. I really liked it and I don’t know why?? people told you not to watch it?? ?) THANK YOU, AS ALWAYS.

Yeah I got two No’s on ‘Field of Fire’, one emphatically, so just skipped on by! Well, nearly, as I did get pulled into the first scene for that newest gem in Julian Bashir & Miles O’Brien Are LARPing Co-Dependent Marrieds.

And incredibly, as it turns out, the cold open of ‘Prodigal Daughter’ was on the same theme! This time returning to that good good well of Julian poorly hiding how very anxious he is over Miles being off ~undercover~ in Victoriana Blade Runner. Just “oh yes, ha ha, I miss the Alamo that’s all [distracted lost half smile]” my GOSH. And that Miles had been somehow managing to get messages out to his space husband through who knows what elaborate means, because you know he knew that Julian would be WORRYING. 

God I love them so much.
