Star Trek DS9 - 3x11-12 Past Tense

Ah heck, and while we’re on doctory moments in DS9!

ah, let’s have a good transporter accident episode! The away team gets transported to the right place.. but to the wrong time. There’s a whole story about how at this time there’s a watershed moment happening in civil rights and they accidentally (as you do) change history and that causes the leader (Bell) to get killed, and so they must take his place to make sure the civil rights movement happens (relatively) peacefully.
Phew. Now that that’s out of the way, we can get to the doctory screen caps. Julian gets to help a fellow activist’s son who got beaten up, and later on he helps one of the hostages who’s hyperglycaemic.

And in general these two are among my favourite DS9 Episodes of all time. There’s just so many fun little moments.. like Jadzia flirting her way into getting a rich CEO to help her out, and Kira and Miles having to beam back to several different other times in history with hilarious results..

not to mention all the characters they meet on the way.. seriously this one is worth re-watching.

Julian (to female hostage): you alright?
Older hostage dude: Hey.. leave her alone
Julian: I’m a doctor
other hostage: ..suure you are.
female hostage: You were here the other day weren’t you..?
Julian: Are you hyperglycaemic?
female hostage: you really are a doctor..
Julian: Why didn’t you tell someone?
female hostage: I was afraid to..
Julian: well I’ll see about getting you some medicine but in the mean time I’ll try to find you a chocolate bar or something..

d'aww he gets to be caring… I’m not sure if this fetish of mine even counts as whump. But there it is.

OH and he briefly gets to patch up Sisko as well :) just for good measure

is it ever mentioned whether or not odo can smell or taste anything? i mean, i know he doesn’t eat, but is it possible for his body to interpret/experience the chemical signals that we get from smelling or tasting something in a same or similar way, like how he doesn’t technically have real eyes but still experiences a sort of sight (presumably from his entire body interpreting the light waves falling on him)?

Most of us who are left, Doctor, are insane. We have to be in order to survive and emerge from our isolation. It’s the only way we can live with the pain of what we did. Or didn’t. Each of us accepts the amount of responsibility we are capable of bearing. Some accept nothing, and these people are quickly swallowed by their isolation, their insanity transformed into a rationalized evil. A smaller group accepts total responsibility, and their insanity is an unbearable burden that cripples and eventually grinds them down. The rest of us carry what we can and leave the rest. For myself, Doctor, when a corpse is too heavy to bury I try to remember to ask someone to help me.

It’s BUB’s party, and she’ll hiss if she wants to.

And she’ll look great doing it.

GOOD JOB BUB, WAY TO HOLD DOWN THE FORT.
