Been rewatching Deep Space Nine here and there.
SPOILERS
If you want to see just how bad some of the actors truly are on Deep Space Nine, you should definitely check this one out. Not only is it an absolutely horrible Sisko episode about civil rights (what else) but everyone goes without make-up and they do (laughable) New York accents.
Another one is S06E23 'Profit and lace'. It's where they turn Quark into a tranny in order to salvage what's left of the Grand Nagus' authority after he gave females the right to wear clothes. Yes, that's right. Trannies & feminism. :')
(Not to mention parroting all the talking points about getting females into the workforce and doubling the economy, but for some reason they omitted the part where the birth rates would plummet as a consequence. rofl)
S06E24 is also hilariously bad. It's where they decide to send an eighteen-year-old Molly back into the time where she was left stranded for ten years and grew up all alone on an abandoned planet 300 years ago. Apparently, she would be better off there, instead of a Federation clinic, specifically designed to rehabilitate cases like hers. :') :')
Edit:
Season 6 was also the season where they decided to turn Dukat into a cartoon villain and make him the 'nemesis' of Sisko. It resulted in that ridiculous episode where Sisko and Dukat were stranded on a planet and Dukat was talking to himself the whole time. It ended with Sisko ignoring Dukat's mental status and declaring him an 'evil man', after his pride got wounded (once again).
This theme was further explored in S06E17. Where Dukat called up Kira out of nowhere and revealed that he was banging her mother during the occupation, rofl. And then to make it even more preposterous, Kira used the Orb of Time to travel back in time to confirm that her mother was really banging Dukat.
Normies love later DS9 but it got really shitty, especially the beloved Dominion War stuff. I'd always hated how shit the battle scenes themselves actually were, but in the post-Marvel world, the dialogue is especially bad. There's one line that always stuck with me, "Who says there's never a Klingon around when you need one?" Nobody. It's babble. You just tossed darts at a board covered in cliches and filled in whatever you hit.
SNW actually canonized Sisko's 1960s alter ego really existing. He's the one who wrote that story the doctor reads to his daughter. Naturally, it's about a wise black king in vaguely European stylings who ends up saving and marrying a white princess.
They couldn't get the difference right between phaser bursts and quantum torpedoes. And that was just the beginning.
You're referring to this episode. Actually saw it a couple of years ago. One of those episodes where everyone went ham on the acting and DEI was the leading philosophy in determining who gets to play what shitty part.
SNW is just DEI laundering with a white male captain acting as the beard.
