The bottom half has a picture of Stargate's SG-1 team and the text "all your gods are false. Here, take these guns."

Wouldn't one race enslaving another already violate the Federation's Prime Directive?

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Tell that to the Bajorans.

Picard at 1:55 here suggests it doesn't necessarily:

Pen Pals

[-] gullible@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

To me, it seemed like he was talking about localized slavery. One people originating entirely from a certain planet who come to own and abuse another people from the same planet. The ghoulies are closer to the borg or a hivemind than traditional slavers, in many ways, so examining starfleet’s response to the borg would probably yield a better understanding of their response.

How are the Goa’uld distinct from the Cardassians?

[-] gullible@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Only watched a season of TNG so no clue.

The Cardassians were more of a DS9 thing, I think they only featured in a few random TNG episodes

[-] Jaccident@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Just a few random eps…and two of the most quoted and referenced episodes of the whole franchise! Between Capt. Jellico and “There are Four Lights” c/risa is about 20% content from those two episodes. (I’m not telling you off here, just adding my amazement at what an impact that two-parter has had).

[-] interolivary@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Oh shit I totally forgot about those episodes, been a while since I last rewatched TNG. Great point though, they definitely are memes in themselves

Well for one I don't remember the goa'uld having a tailor with an ambiguous sexual orientation and a murky past who's besties with a human doctor, so there's that at least?

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I mean, not quite the same... but there was Nerus.

[-] interolivary@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Ha, I don't remember that character at all. I'm actually just rewatching SG-1 but I'm only up to season 8 so far

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

He's a fun one. Just don't get too close when he has a cupcake in his sights.

Pulaski ❤ People generally seem to really dislike her, but I think she was way more interesting as a character than Bev

[-] SpookyUnderwear@eviltoast.org 1 points 1 year ago

More interesting than Bev, but she had a very judgemental, sometimes callous attitude.

[-] interolivary@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

No disagreement there. I think that "roughness" to her was what made the character interesting in the first place, Bev's a bit milquetoast in comparison
