Onesided Quodo Angst Is Just Quark Kicking Himself For Never Telling Odo How He Feels. Hating Himself

Rom has an honest-to-goodness stutter. He stammers and sometimes has trouble expressing himself.

Before Deep Space 9, I had never seen that on any screen without it being a joke. Or a couple times as a character that appeared for less than 2 minutes.

HOWEVER, on DS9, not only does Rom have a decent-sized part, but:

- he's portrayed as a loving and supportive father, son, brother, and husband

- he LEADS his co-workers in forming a union

- he leaves a toxic workplace for an equally menial but safer job, and does it with dignity, and then earns promotions

- he invents new technology, and comes up with it almost as a side thought while planning his wedding, showing the genius that he's usually not recognized for

- and ultimately, he's chosen as the next ruler of an entire planet

I still don't see anything equivalent to that now, in the 2020s. And DS9 was made thirty years ago.

If movie and television producers are so keen on reviving things from the past for the sake of nostalgia, how about looking at Star Trek for ideas on not only increasing diversity and inclusion, but normalizing and celebrating them?

I really like this one wall photo.

Did anyone see Saru attacking someone in promo at the end of the first episode??? I'm just so excited!

Saru:

Sorry if someone've already joked about this, but Film!Abe and Comic!Abe be like...

I'll bring you daughter home at 10:00 p.m / she calls me daddy too

The way Quark launches himself at the security guard stationed in front of Odo's quarters after finding out the founder hadn't left Odo's quarters in 3 days was the gayest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life.

Thought I’d make some DS9 memes instead of sleeping

I'm super tired and basically spending NYE on the couch with snacks, but Rick would probably be slutting it up in some intergalactic night club right now.

The man of your dreams, am I right

Odo (nothing)
