Gives “body count” a whole new meaning.

Beat me to it.

What’s the meme for when the documentation is two years out of date?

Or when the documentation IS up to date… but the last 4 versions of the docs are still online and look exactly like the new version with no obvious sign of which version they are? (Looking at you, Microsoft)

I love the TOS movies… but man those TMP uniforms were rough.

It does? Huh…. I guess I’ve had it installed so long that I forgot what the steps were.

Wait… have you also been trying out the MacGyver reboot from 2015???

Not only that, but raw horsepower and battery life are always in a delicate balance in any portable device.

There are practical limitations when it comes to current battery technology. Not to mention heat generation and dissipation that comes with more powerful hardware.

At its core, I’ve always felt that DS9 is ultimately about what it takes to create and maintain the utopian future that exists in (at least) the core worlds of the Federation.

The high ideals of the Federation are very inspiring, to be sure. But Sisko lays it out in Season 1 when he tells Kira that “the problem is Earth” and that “it’s easy to be a saint in paradise.”

They are caught between the Cardassians and the Bajorans… and then discover they are also on the Dominion’s doorstep. And in a corner of the galaxy that Starfleet and the Federation have given up on and would like to forget about as quickly as possible. DS9 is as far from paradise as it gets.

Things get dark during the series, by Trek standards, and all of the characters show themselves to be less than perfect, but I think that’s what makes the series so interesting.
