There's a Star Trek ds9 episode where a non-human alien gets sent back in time to 1947. They discover on their sensors the radiation from the continual nuclear bomb tests and are horrified that the humans would irradiate their own planet. I just recently became a 'trekkie' and I get it, it really has some of the best themes and plots in sci-fi
You’re talking about the one where quark and rom go back in time on accident? And get caught by military police?
It ain’t trouble with tribles, but it’s a good one.
That's the one, I personally dislike even the smallest of spoiler so I was being vague haha. I enjoyed it though, I never watched any Trek at all before this and I'm so hooked lol.
The only Star Trek anything I haven’t watched is St:Discotheque- that one makes more sense if you just assume the entire crew is jumped up on space shrooms.
My uncle got me into when I was a kid. I was left alone at his place while the adults were either talking downstairs or at my brother’s soccer thing and I found his collection. (Everything that had ever come out, on VHS.) I was on trouble with tribbles when he came up stairs and said “OHHH that’s my favorite episode, back it up while I go make popcorn!” (And then we proceeded to binge Star Trek until way late.)
I haven't seen the original yet but the DS9 version of that episode was great, I was impressed they even used old style lenses and film to recreate the style of the 60s episode. It also made me realize "huh, William Shatner is kinda hot isn't he?" Ahah. I'll watch the original series eventually, I have a lot to catch up on lol.
Yep.
For the record DS9 was my favorite show over all.
The cake was taken when Sisko TKO’d Q. Best captain ever. (“I’m not Picard!”)
Although if you liked ds9 s1, try giving Babylon 5 a chance- upn9 ripped off an early show bible from JMS to start ds9. Londo singing the Hokey Pokey is… amazing.
