They’re in a TNG episode. The symbiote controls the host in that episode too. It isn’t a blending.
- Comment on Happy Birthday Terry Farrell 1 year ago:
It’s television. Things can happen. Trills didn’t originally have spots either. They just changed it.
- Comment on Happy Birthday Terry Farrell 1 year ago:
So let’s imagine a DS9 sequel series or TV movie is green lit and you’re the producer. Does Jadzia come back? If so how? Or does Terry Farrell come back in some other way? Or is she not in it at all?

I looked up Dr Emerson and you really can see the family resemblance. Mad Men was a fantastic show.

Who Gandolfi’s son or Rene’s son?
- Comment on Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor 1 year ago:
You’re right!

If it weren’t for tuvok and the doctor I don’t think I could have finished that series. It’s the only trek I’ve never really rewatched too. Not counting the modern shows.

I want CBS to, on hands and knees, beg RDM to fix Trek now. Oh I’d squeal like a 60s girl at a Beatles concert.

That didn’t work out so well with Tony soprano in the HBO movie though.
- Comment on Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor 1 year ago:
Yeah, that’s a really good solution. There would have to be something that gives the audience a clue that we’re dealing with the same character I think so the actors would have to really collaborate on their collective characters. That’s really a great idea.
- Comment on Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor 1 year ago:
That’s possible. Rene gave odo a real presence though. I don’t know how well another actor would mimic it. They could always do something like interstellar. That character who was left on the ship by himself for all those years was markedly different from the character before they left for the water planet.
- Comment on Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor 1 year ago:
Very true. All Good Things is in my opinion better than all the TNG movies.
- Comment on Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor 1 year ago:
Voyager had consistently mediocre writing. I, somewhat cynically, always thought the reason moore did Battlestar was to show everyone what Voyager could have been.
- Comment on Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor 1 year ago:
Nog I think is the easiest recast. It could be explained just that the character aged. Odo would be harder. He could be a CGI character with a voice actor but that doesn’t sound good. It could be a plot point that both characters are killed prior to the beginning of the story and the story involves resolving the mystery of what happened and why.
All and all I think it’s unlikely we’ll see any kind of continuation of DS9, which is unfortunate because it’s my favorite series.
- Comment on Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor 1 year ago:
Personally I’d be okay recasting the role. I’d totally buy that his experiences with the founders could change him physically.
- Comment on Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor 1 year ago:
Wouldn’t that be fantastic? I doubt Brooks would want to be involved though.

I never made the argument that he wasn’t terrible

If it’s very important to you then you could get signatures supporting changing the name to America’s Day or you could petition your state or local government. Things can be changed it just needs someone to enact that change.

That’s entirely your right

I didn’t say that we should judge him by the standards of his time. I did say that he did terrible things.

I call it Columbus Day.
Many people hate this name because they find the character of the man reprehensible. Many also argue that since he wasn’t the first person from the Eastern Hemisphere to come to the Western Hemisphere his name shouldn’t be enshrined in the name of a holiday.
To my knowledge there isn’t a single historically significant person who we today could call a wholly good person. Setting this aside momentarily. Columbus is arguably one of the most significant people in all human history. We describe the Americas before European contact as Pre-Colombian, we could describe the entire world similarly. It would take too long to list all the ways the world is different after Columbus. Just listing the foods would take too long. Just listing the places named after Columbus is exhausting: a country, a Canadian province, two us state capitals, the us capital, the second largest city in Panama, cities/towns/villages all over the Americas and streets, rivers, and lakes as far off as Italy and the Philippines.
Most people know that Brazilians speak a Portuguese dialect while the majority of South and Central America speak a Spanish dialect. This is because in 1500 Pedro Álvares Cabral accidentally discovered Brazil while trying to go around the Cape of Good Hope. In some alternate reality there’s a Cabral Day and a pre-Cabralean America and all those placenames are named after Pedro Álvares Cabral.
It isn’t the man that causes me to call it Columbus Day it is the immensity the historical significance that does. The man did some terrible things. Unfortunately, when you study history that’s how it just goes. If you discount every historical person based on whether they meet modern ideals of good and evil then history books will become rather slim. History is full of people who do good things and bad things but they all do significant things.
If you want to call it Indigenous Peoples Day thats great. The same day can have multiple holidays. If you want to call it Columbus Day that’s great too. Let’s just remember that it’s easy to celebrate what we see as good while forgetting what’s uncomfortable and they should go hand in hand.
