i love that ds9 posits julian as the Ladies Man™ but they’re so wrong. the Ladies Man™ is absolutely jadzia
julian’s just a useless bisexual twink who gets flustered by a lizard man and has a crush on his best friend
julian met garak, panicked, called garak “sir,” then ran off to tell all of his friends that the hot lizard talked to him
star trek’s first gay kiss was between women and y’all better fucking remember that shit or I’m going to personally arrive at your house and punt you into the center of the earth. and TECHNICALLY stamets and culber are the THIRD gay kiss because the intendant and mirror ezri kissed too, though i’m willing to overlook that one since the intendant was a nasty stereotype. i will not let you forget jadzia, though.

Kira is an interesting character in the ST phenomenon, as she is openly and deeply religious, but neither fool nor fanatic. She attends the Bajoran temple on the station and has a shrine in her quarters for meditation; she ahd an Orb experience, heightening her sensitivity and spirituality…
But she does not try to force her beliefs on anyone, and is opposed to such efforts in religion or politics…Whatever the status of religion in modern science fiction generally, and in Star Trek, for Kira, it is a source of strength and comfort, and her fellows respect her perhaps in spite of it, but it doesn’t interfere with their relationships.

they’re probably arguing over iago’s motivations in othello (while watching the wormhole for a change of scenery from the replimat)
When I first took command of this post, all I wanted was to be somewhere else. Anywhere but here. But now, five years later, this station has become my home. And you all of you have become my family .
happy 25th!
