Which episode ?!

I love when people like you say things like this because the exact same pearl clutching going on today went on then. You know how many times Trek got almost cancelled because it showed things deemed unacceptable by conservative bigots too favorably? the same complaints of "lecturing" now were used then when Trek positively portrayed interracial relationships or supported George Takei when he came out.

And Far Beyond The Stars was… what, exactly?

​@@marcwanagas1234 They earned one indulgent artsy episode by that point. It was also pretty well done. Every time race came up it felt earned and poignant. That brief interaction, less than a second, where Quark mentions the Ferengi are better than humans because they never had slavery and the glare he gets was spot on.

@@Kilonovae I quite remember, but TNG got this flak way more than DS9. Even then, still, they'd try to generally explore most issues from each angle (even if they favored one) and typically write a good story around the allegory, rather than ham fistedly slamming it into a 1:1 box.

@@BlazingOwnager i have yet to see that happen, only people doing the same thing as last time and saying its happening

That's the point ye dope

Nice try but intentionally having diversity has been part of Star Trek since the very beginning jump in the lake conservative Star Trek is not for you

Why do you hate representation?

@@notabannedaccount8362 Nobody wants 320p representation.

That is specious. It certainly sounds good. But we dont reallt know. It may well depend on where the ecounter takes place. Q seemed pretty excited when q invoked the borg and the as yet unexplained showdown between Q and guinan.

Because the Q are fucking weird

its never fully explained how powerful the prophets are they might well have been more powerful than Q! Remember its never stated that Q is the most powerful beings in existance! As for the bajorians as in life being all powerful is not the only criteria for being thought of as a god,many cultures have gods with almost no powers or lesser powers than other but their still considered gods

​​​@@roobear78 In Star Trek Online, during their anniversary events while you are traveling across certain parts of the Quadrants. Q (Q junior) makes certain comments about the alien races that are there. If you are in the Bajor Sector, Q (Q Junior) will mention that the last time he was in the Bajor sector, the Prophets basically did not like that he was causing some mischief with the Bajoran people that they basically told him to get out. He seems to think that they could hurt him. It is possible that the Prophets can hurt a member single from the Q Continuum. Q Junior's father Q was on Deep Space Nine during the shows earlier seasons but was only in one episode. The Prophets didn't show up or tell him to leave but that might have been because he wasn't causing problems to the Bajoran people but was just simply hanging around and was there because he wanted to know why Vash decided to return home to the Alpha Quadrant and maybe Earth instead of exploring the rest of the galaxy like she wanted to after meeting him during an episode in Star Trek the Next Generation. The Deep Space Nine crew blamed Q for some power fluctuations that they were having but it was actually something Vash acquired during her travels in the Gamma Quadrant with Q. It was huge crystal that later turned out to some sort of alien egg that was siphoning the stations power so it could hatch faster and also causing the station to move closer to the Bajoran Wormhole. Q was aware what was going on but chose to let everyone on station figure it out for themselves for his amusement. They were able to beam it off the station and the creature that hatched from the egg looked like a golden stingray and it went through the wormhole back to the Gamma Quadrant. Before this happened, Q did decide to have some fun with a little fight with Sisko. And Sisko did punch Q. Q seemed surprised but also thought it was interesting. It is possible that the Prophets told Q not to return after this since the Prophets were interested in Sisko and might have been protective over him since he is technically one of them as revealed in certain details in the last season of Deep Space Nine.

@@Yasuda9000 yes i am familiar with the series haveing watched it dozens of times! Also star trek online isnt canon

sisko is a messenger from gods a messiah you might say, their saying it casts down the sterotype of black people being underlings etc when hes a christ like character and his boss in starfleet is also a black man

@@roobear78 this doesn't answer my question

@@roobear78 I'm not talking about the show deep space nine I'm talking about the purpose of uploading this video

SMH

Well, for starters, I’m not from the US. My family came over after slavery was ended in the US, besides that. My family are also descended from an ‘indentured servant’ in the Hapsburg household. From a slave. So why, pray tell, should I ever have to pay reparations when not only have I never personally owned a slave, but my family were in fact slaves at one point?

@@Alamandorious very good point! people never understand the reperations argument that even if tomorrow the u.s goverment granted it and paid it,then it would be from the taxes of black,hispanic,and various other denominations! Some moron will probably have that argument solved in their mind and say well just use the taxes of the white people! like the italian,polish,irish,scottish decended from imigrants lol the past is the past,never forget but concentrate on serving justice,equality and brotherhood to the curent generations is my argument

@@AlamandoriousBecause you perpetuate the problem! You benefit from the oppression. Your acceptance of the status quo continues it.

Actually, they're multiple races, as it should be. No-one above another. And Sisko was great, a good role model for everyone, but let's not forget Uncle Phil. Everyone, no matter what race, wants someone who cares like Uncle Phil did in their corner.

actually the prophets arent any colour they are non coporial which means they have no body or form!

@@AlamandoriousIf you’re not part 👏 of the 👏 solution 👏 you’re 👏 part 👏 of 👏 the 👏 problem!

@@notabannedaccount8362 So, not being able to actually refute what I'm saying, you're doing the clap-buzzword thing. Brilliant. 🙄
