Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

I didn’t want to watch “Rules of Engagement” (more Klingon stuff, courtroom drama), but I’m determined not to skip any episodes. I watched it sped up. It turned out to be OK.

“Hard Times” was a hard watch. Talk about Miles suffering. Whew!

I think Miles has some sort of rare prestige class that gets him bonuses from trauma.

He's be a god by the end of the series.

Miles is, was, will be, and has always been the lloigor Prophets.

"Shattered Mirror" was another good (if at times sad) mirror universe episode, but I can't help wondering why they didn't bring O'Brien over with Sisko. I bet the two of them together would've been able to get the mirror Defiant up and running faster.

I would love to see the two versions of Kira meet ... do they ever?

Also, there was an unintentionally hilarious bit where mirror Worf is yelling at mirror Garak and his hair gets stuck on his beard.

Yeah, they do in the very first mirror universe episode. It is... well it definitely doesn't disappoint.

Oh yeah! I forgot. And it wasn't that long ago that I watched that one. Whoops!

I do enjoy the scenes of the Defiant being flown like it's the Millennium Falcon. An example of the better ways that the mirror universe setting allows them to cut loose.

Yeah, that battle scene was great.


Moving on, “The Muse” was … strange. Lwaxana being pregnant was weird, Odo marrying her in a sham marriage was weird, and that psychic vampire woman sucking out Jake’s life force was more than a little creepy in various ways.

Weird is an apt description of that one!

Edit: also I'm sure it's already a recognized trope, but Keats is always referenced whenever the supernatural and creative comes together! Keats was referenced a lot in the Hyperion series and in a few sci fi / fantasy books about vampires and such.

Holy crap I totally forgot the Odo-Lwaxana wedding episode and the Jake-almost-gets-killed-by-a-squicky-muse episode were the same episode.
