What’s this show about

Politics

weyounbathwater:

Dayoun server discourse led us here

Rick Berman: Absolutely no same sex couples holding hands in the background. We could get angry letters.

DS9 Creatives: Okay

For other moments of supreme queerness (well really just the ones I can’t forget lol) see also:

Lenara Khan and Jadzia Dax’s tragical romance

Garak introducing himself Like That and basically wrapping up the conversation with “So if you should desire full body sloppy At Any Time here’s my address” and putting his hands on Bashir’s shoulders (which. For Cardassians is a lot like putting your hands all over someone’s inner thighs, I presume)

See also like. Every other interaction between these two

The Looks that Kira and Cretak keep giving each other

Quark being Hagath’s sugar baby

Basically every other mirrorverse episode

And a shitload of background characters who get to just like. Exist casually and queerly (chief in my mind are Lt. Vilix'Pran, aka that guy who keeps getting pregnant and everyone keeps throwing him adorable baby showers, and like any mentions of cohusbands/wives. I remember Zim Brott has a couple kids, pictured here with him, and a wife and a husband). Oh also I forgot bc I hate him but Odo canonically doesn’t have a gender. Also it had to be confirmed outside of the show bc Berman is a dick, but Jadzia Dax is canonically pansexual and Garak is canonically omnisexual (and idk how long people have been saying Jadzia is pan, but Andy Robinson has literally been saying Garak is omni since the 90s, pretty sure like. While the show was running)

Ranks and roles on DS9

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion in the DS9 fandom about the ranks and roles of the characters so I though I might repost here this short guide I compiled a couple of months ago on Discord. I admit that this is a little pedantic since ranks below Captain rarely matter in Star Trek, but since rank affects the way characters are addressed onscreen it’s something I give a lot of thought to. All information comes from Memory Alpha. (Roles and ranks are capitalized for clarity, but they’re usually written all in lowercase.)

Benjamin Sisko: Commander ⚪️⚪️⚪️ in seasons 1-3, gets promoted to Captain ⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️ in 3x26 “The Adversary” and is one until the end of the show. He is the Commanding Officer on DS9.

Kira Nerys: Major of the Bajoran Militia in seasons 1-6, promoted to Colonel in season 7 (she already is one in 7x01). In addition to her Bajoran rank, she receives a Starfleet commission with the rank of Commander ⚪️⚪️⚪️ in 7x21 “When It Rains…”. She was appointed the position of Bajoran Liaison Officer on the station, but she is for all intents and purposes Sisko’s first officer, until she assumes command of the station at the end of 7x25 “What You Leave Behind”.

Jadzia Dax: Lieutenant ⚪️⚪️ in seasons 1-3, gets promoted to Lieutenant Commander ⚪️⚪️⚫️ offscreen between seasons and is one in seasons 4-6. Usually addressed as ‘commander’ from then on. She is the (Chief) Science Officer aboard the station.

Ezri Dax: Ensign ⚪️ in episodes 7x01-03, gets promoted to Lieutenant junior grade ⚪️⚫️ at the end of 7x03 “Afterimage” and is one until the end of the show. After the promotion she assumes the role of Counselor on the station.

Julian Bashir: Lieutenant junior grade ⚪️⚫️ in seasons 1-3, gets promoted offscreen between season 3 and 4 and is a Lieutenant ⚪️⚪️ from season 4 until the end of the show. He is the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) on DS9.

Worf: started out as a Lieutenant junior grade ⚪️⚫️ in the command division on the Enterprise-D, then assumed the role of Security Chief and Tactical Officer switching to the operations division. He was promoted to Lieutenant ⚪️⚪️ offscreen before season 3 of TNG, and was one until the end of the show. Worf was promoted again to Lieutenant Commander ⚪️⚪️⚫️ prior to the events of “Star Trek Generations” and retains that rank for his assignment on DS9, switching to the command division again and assuming the role of Strategic Operations Officer at the end of 4x01 “The Way Of The Warrior”, until the end of the show. Usually addressed as ‘commander’ on DS9.

Miles O'Brien: there is a whole subsection on Memory Alpha about O'Brien’s problematic rank history, but his rank on DS9 seems to be Senior Chief Petty Officer, and he is usually addressed as ‘Chief’. He was Transporter Chief on TNG, then promoted to Chief of Operations on DS9.

Odo: is usually addressed as Constable, but this is only a nickname since there’s no such rank in the Bajoran Militia (in which he is officially commissioned, although we don’t know which rank he was appointed). The title was first given him by Kira when the station was still under Cardassian administration, and eventually fell into common use as his unofficial title. Odo kept the title of Constable even after Cardassian forces withdrew from Deep Space 9. He has the role of Chief of Security aboard the station.

deepspacenightshift:

Someone stole a portrait of Surak from the Vulcan Embassy on Deep Space Nine yesterday.

The Vulcans lodged an official complaint and an official statement saying that they are “not angry” and wish only to be paid the exact amount of the portrait so they can replace it. The next paragraph explains that if anyone wants a portrait of Surak or other Vulcan notables, they should contact the Vulcan Embassy about it. If I didn’t know better, I’d say the statement sounded almost pleased that someone would want a portrait of Surak.
