I think about myself a Star Trek fan. I’ve seen all the films extra instances than I can rely. I grew up watching reruns of The Unique Collection and The Subsequent Technology. I am wanting ahead to beaming to the Enterprise at Common Studios’ upcoming Fan Fest.
Having stated that, till not too long ago, there have been two complete collection that I had by no means totally seen. Star Trek: Deep House 9 and Star Trek: Voyager. Each initially aired throughout years once I was in highschool and school, so my consideration was largely elsewhere. Earlier this yr, I lastly sat down and watched all of Voyager, and now I’m taking a step backward in time to lastly watch DS9.
Barely multiple season into the present as of this writing, I’m having fun with it up to now, Deep House 9’s utter incapability to correctly deal with a pandemic however. It’s a considerably extra serialized present than what I consider as Star Trek, which was seemingly an enormous purpose I couldn’t get into it initially. Nevertheless, whereas there’s an ideal deal concerning the present to love, there’s a second in Season 2 I’ve to speak about as a result of it has fully modified my view of Quark, the Ferengi barkeep, and now I hate his guts.
Quark Ought to Have Been Thrown Off DS9 After “Invasive Procedures”
Early into Deep House 9 Season 2 is the episode titled “Invasive Procedures.” A member of the Trill (performed by John Glover) who’s upset that he by no means obtained chosen to host a Trill symbiote like a lot of his race takes over DS9 whereas the station is generally deserted and forces Jadzia Dax to have her symbiote surgically eliminated.
The Trill transplant is carried out and is initially profitable, regardless that this may seemingly result in Jadzia’s dying. Issues are finally reversed and everyone is saved. Nevertheless, Jadzia almost dies and goes by means of a traumatic circumstance regardless, and it’s all Quark’s fault.
It finally comes out to the remainder of the crew that Quark was paid to assist the invaders get on the station. Whereas they activate him and don’t pay him, and he ultimately helps the crew retake the station, Quark is threatened implicitly by Lt. Kira with being booted off the station for his treachery.
I Hope Future Seasons Of Deep House 9 Don’t Neglect About This
I’ll not have seen all of Deep House 9 earlier than, however I definitely know Quark is a serious character and that he wasn’t going to get blown out an airlock, however that doesn’t imply I didn’t wish to see it occur. Alternatively, seeing Lt. Kira simply beat Quark inside an inch of his life would have been acceptable. However the episode ends with no decision on this subject, and evidently the collection has simply moved on.
I’m livid. Up up to now, Quark, as performed by Armin Shimerman, has been a definitely entertaining charlatan, however this transfer pushes issues too far. The episode doesn’t specify precisely what Quark knew, it appears unlikely that he knew Jadzia was going to die by his actions, if solely as a result of he’s interested in her. However that simply means Quark isn’t doing his due diligence on a enterprise deal, and there have to be a Rule of Acquisition about that.
Contemplating how serialized Deep House 9 is, that makes it all of the more unusual that this explicit subject hasn’t been handled. I suppose I’m presupposed to consider that Quark serving to to undo his horrible actions is sufficient to make up for it, however I don’t agree.
In fact, there are 5 seasons of TV between me and the top of Star Trek: Deep House 9. Maybe this subject might be handled once more sooner or later. I definitely hope so, as a result of whereas I’m not saying Quark can’t be forgiven, he at the very least must apologize.
