I know that wasn't the point, but:

Holt as Sisko and Terry as Worf is cool (Holt might work better as Odo, but we'll get to that in a sec).

Rosa should be Kira (Worf looks mean but is a big softy, hence Terry. Kira is the one that will kick your ass if you piss her off), Jina as Quark (obviously), Amy as Odo, Boyle as Rom, Hitchcock and Scully as O'brian and Bashir in their "two buds going to the holosuite to pretend they're WW1 pilots" mode.

Jake works surprisingly well as Jadzia - both like to do silly things, kinda offbeat yet very good at their job.

I see where you're coming from but I feel bad for O'Brien and Bashir getting done like that lol. But their inept best buddy dynamic doesn't really fit anywhere on the ds9 crew neatly so it had to go somewhere

[-] CerealKiller01@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I think not only their inept dynamic doesn't fit anywhere in DS9, it's actually anathema for the core values of Star Trek. Trek is all about what humanity can do when people do their best. The closest to being "inept" in ST are:

  • Characters like Rom or Berkeley, who at first have an inept aura, but ARE good at their job if put in the right situation.

  • Quark, who's kinda bad at being a Ferengi, but that's because he lets his (by human standards) morals get in the way. Also, the Ferengi were created as a species to be an anathema for other core values of Star Trek begin with.

  • The Pakleds, who are kinda like the Ferengi were at first, and were a one-off species then used for comedic purposes.

I've put way too much thought into it, haven't i?

You took this thinking a lot further than I.

I couldn't hear myself think because my brain was shouting at me about Rosa not being Kira.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago

Rosa got sidelined as Jake.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Swap her with Gina, and it's good. Rosa as the badass freedom fighter, and Gina as the person that isn't as official as everyone else, but still gets side plots lol

That also makes Gina Holt's daughter, which I think checks out

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Jake = Jake, it’s right there! He even calls Holt “Dad.”

[-] teft@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Does Capt-dad play baseball with Jake?

[-] magnusrufus@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Gina or Rosa should have been Sisko. Holt is too level headed.

Also: Holt's Dentist vs PhD rant

Dude has a temper.

Melissa Fumero in a Starfleet uniform is making me feel things...

[-] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I did not realize Chelsea Peretti cosplaying Kira would be as attention getting as it is.

[-] Alteon@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I low-key want this to happen....it would be so good.

[-] Flumpkin@slrpnk.net 6 points 8 months ago

Lol I'd watch the shit out of that. But that's basically The Orville haha

Mothers once more failed to have Holt as Odo

I really thought this was going to be a Community meme.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
