Howdy folks and welcome back for the
week. Yes we are ready off to a rocky start as Monday got skipped
altogether. Anyone reading this has a suggestion to regulate sleep
patterns just a hitch better than I am already experiencing, PLEASE
TELL ME. That being said I thought we would go back to TV as we
cannot get enough of that. This time around I thought I would
tackle another Roddenberry creation, a show that revolves
around...well a world from an orbital platform or space station if
you will. A show where they were not out exploring a brand new
galaxy every week but rather alien life forms, phenomena, wonders
and threats would crop up in their backyard.
Looks like ReinFair class rings. |
I speak of course of the creation of
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. We are in frontier territory as the
planet Bajor has managed to fend off its oppressors the Cardasassians
(So close to Kardashians, their mammalian/reptilian cousins),
the fledgling government has reached out to the Federation for
assistance in creating a recognized political and social
infrastructure that they could defend themselves against any other
would-be attackers and conquerors. Many of Bajor are divided on the
Federation's involvement in their new developing government that
Starfleet may not be as invited but they are here to stay... or
rather until they get new orders saying otherwise.
The main attraction to this remote
quadrant of space is a natural wormhole (a hypothetical
connection between widely separated regions of both space and time)
that can bring tourists, commerce, travelers and even powerful allies
and enemies to Bajor's front door.
This week I want to share my favorite
episodes of this seven year run series that was based in the timeline
like as The Next Generation and Voyager. That being said, the
episodes will of course span over these years, there will be spoilers
for those that did not watch the series and continuity is not my cup
of tea. More of a Gallifreian (DR. WHO REFERENCE)
when it comes to telling tales so bear with me.
So out into that final frontier, that
"Undiscovered Country" future that the Roddenberry projects
were always about. Enjoy!
Projecting Mariah Carey into her skull. You fiend! |
