I still think the Maquis are kind of douchy though, like they caused more problems than they solved.
Yep - what I like about them, though. They are a group that show the less savoury side of humans. They are terrorists and nefarious and have an admittedly single minded but nevertheless mildly interesting agenda. They provide a nice contrast to the usually sanitised federation - where everyone is usually only interested in exploration, stellar troubleshooting and impressing everyone with how great humans are. It's one of the things I'm liking about the series as a whole - plot lines are often about people not getting along, and conflict.
You're getting closer and closer to the good stuff. I mean great. It's good now, great armadillo is on the way.
Yeah I've heard that a lot, looking forward to it.
Just watched the episode where O'Brien is put on trial for a crime he didn't commit.
THOUGHTS.
- How the f did no human ever get tried by Cardassians terrible judicial system before, and why was it not more of a big deal?
- The Cardassians judicial system is terrible
- similar to the first point: they mention about half way through that this is the longest Cardassian trial in history, (presumably) features the first human ever, is being broadcast across all of Cardassia how is that not more of a big deal
- Why didn't they make up some reason to say that Odo could not represent obrien?
Good fun though, liked that it was a disguised Cardassian all along. But then they brushed over that whole interesting sounding story in about 1 minute flat. Which leads me on to my main criticism so far...
I've noticed a common thing: Most of the episodes move the plot along at a nice pace, but it seems they usually get to about 1 or 2 minutes left before they have to hurriedly wrap up everything that's been started, so feels rushed.
It's normally not a problem in linked episodes so guess it will go away with more episodes like that in arcs and things.
