concept: every once in a while instead of a regular ‘being o’brien is suffering’ ep we get a very nice very chill ep about keiko doing the space botanist stuff

But can we make it taste good on its own? We tried our luck with Hannah Hart. WATCH: http://youtu.be/A4C4L0pCFZM
9 days from now our brand new blue whale…
…the largest creature to ever exist on earth, will be assembled in the Museum basement. Until then it lies in pieces on the floor like blocks of a LEGO set before the build.
Deep Space Nine RECAP: 6x13
Whoa wait. Somehow in everyone’s pitching of notable™ episodes to recap and season primers and what all else, I had not gotten that this one was
SPECTACLES SISKO IN THE 1950s???
Wow okay!!
Season 6, Episode 13: ‘Far Beyond the Stars’
Captain Benjamin Sisko sits at his desk surrounded by a litter of iPads, like so many fallen leaves — like so many of his fallen comrades.
“The Cortez was a good ship!” he mourns to Major Kira. He had introduced the captain to his wife. And now, the war with the Dominion has taken them too.
Kira passes Papa Sisko at the doorway — Ben’s dad is finally visiting Deep Space 9! But it has not been the cheeriest visit, laden down as Ben has been with war and loss. Sweetly, his dad tells him that’s actually why he came: “I’ve been worried about you. The last couple of times we talked it seemed like you were carrying the weight of the entire Alpha Quadrant on your shoulders.”
Captain Atlas confides that he doesn’t know how much more he can bear. He wonders…he wonders if he should pass the weight to someone else. Let someone else make the decisions, have the glories and the losses. Have his command.
Papa Sisko assures Ben he will support him no matter what happens.
What then happens is René Auberjonois walking past the door wearing an old-fashioned suit & hat, which presumedly is not what he had in mind.
If you want to experience “Far Beyond the Stars” without watching it or desire a companion to watching it, read this. Great recap.
