More DS9 Companion things
Specifically on Rejoined, aka the lesbian kiss episode.
They got, uh, some notes about the lesbian kiss.
Steve Oster– “One that I will always remember was a call that one of our production assistants took. A man said ‘You’re ruining my kids by making them watch two women kiss like that.’ And our P.A. said, ‘Let me ask you a question, Would you have been okay if one of the women had shut the other to death with a phaser and the kids watched that?’ And he said, ‘Yes, of course,’ And the P.A. said, ‘Well maybe you’d better think about who it is that is ruining your kids.’”
Also, while I have some issues with the ep and how its rep works, it’s important to note it wasn’t actually supposed to be a gay ep, originally. “In fact, Echevarra’s original concept for the episode was a former MALE lover from Dax’s past shows up at the station.” So that’s interesting.
