Sisko: "We committed a warcrime... But idc, a W is a W"

"What's everyone looking at me for? I gave them 5 minutes to evacuate the planet!"

It's only a war crime if you lose the war

How Sisko sleeps after committing a war crime as a treat:

Ohhhh man! I can’t wait until I get into DS9.

Question: Should I watch the TNG movies first, or can I jump into DS9 at any time?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

I would not only start DS9 before watching all the TNG movies, I'd consider starting it before finishing TNG. After all, they overlap in time period both in-universe and in terms of production. Specifically, season 1 of DS9 happens roughly concurrently with season 6 of TNG.

It's not overly important to watch it that way, but at least it avoids continuity weirdness with O'Brien and Worf.

I'd recommend DS9 Redefined, basically a group ripped DVDs and used AI to make a definitive remaster. They have instructions to download it in their Discord: https://discord.gg/AdMrnJ63

Haven't been able to find one, don't think they have one.

Their workflow is available in pdf on their Discord, or on Google Drive: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSMdt3xYFfIErWOlXzkaRuM45szFgGI52XoWGofEIoL7umv7R_NEJEeXCMwjLMpycGzLMBabmOTn2CP/pub

This isn't necessarily directed at you, but just an expression of frustration with the enshittified web:

I don't know what that link is, but a link to a PDF is one whose url ends in .pdf and, when clicked, downloads a file that you can then open and display in your PDF rendering software of choice. It does not open a motherfucking HTML file that displays the document along with some other Google Docs UI bullshit that prevents you from downloading the actual PDF file properly!

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In this instance I don't think that's so much of a bad thing, as pdf's have something of a security risk with them. However mostly it was my wording that was wrong, I didn't mean to imply Google was hosting a pdf, the pdf is on Discord.

There is a url on Discord directly to the pdf, it tried to stop me but I managed to copy it using a mouse gesture extension, and I've trimmed the tracker fluff at the end: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/774119166931894272/1066138917939728494/DS9_-_Final_Workflow.pdf

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Awesome, thanks!

...wow, that is a much more manual and complicated workflow than I expected. I thought it was going to be more like a batch-process script or something.

There's a spoiler for Generations in DS9's season 4 premier but you don't have to watch the movie to appreciate the show.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

I think you can just jump into DS9 at this point? Its for the most part self contained, with some imported characters from TNG, but nothing that would require knowledge of the movies? Its a great series, with a planned arc ala babylon 5 (some very close similarities with babylon 5... very very close)

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago
[–] Zorque@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

I dont know what you're talking about! There's no similarities between series in Eastasia!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Wait, are there movies?

(\s, of course, but if you need them to understand anything, I wouldn't be able to tell.)

"Computer, delete this entire Uno game."

What the difference between Sisko and the human colonists of Solosos 3?

...Sisko can live with what he did with trilithium resin.

[–] Mordachai_Shedbacon@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

I can live with it.

[–] taanegl@beehaw.org 4 points 11 months ago

Well... Javert got his man, didn't he...? ...SISKO IS MY CAPTAIN!!! gets tackled by other Trekkies

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 11 months ago

Maybe using biological warfare in the 24th century isn't a war crime 🤷🏻‍♂️
