The Delta Flyers now covering DS9

[VDCNI]

I enjoyed this week's episode reviewing Bar Association, nice to hear from Chase and some interesting points from Armin as expected. Though less expected was his criticism of some of his fellow actors.

They did get a bit bogged down on the whole money/trade thing without ever considering that the Bajorans do have an money economy still. I mostly forgive them though since it's a complicated topic and the episode doesn't help by saying the Federation hold the lease to Quark's bar.

Garrett was at his most annoying though.

Oh?

Oh.

Garrett was at his most annoying though.

I've never heard Garrett more sweaty and awkward than when he pitched not one, but two dreadful "comic" ideas for missing scenes and none of the other (three!) hosts gave him anything or threw him a lifeline or offered even a glimmer of phony, token amusement.

They just let him twist as he kept going and going with his bad jokes, expecting...laughter or support or something. And finally Robbie was like, "yeah, fine," and they moved on.

It was deeply cringey.

Garrett needs to realize two things:

1) He's not remotely funny
2) Every single one of his impressions just sound like George Takei

Yeah, Armin's logical gaps were fairly forgivable this time around. He's not at all wrong to say the Federation economy makes no sense, especially in how its supposed to interact with individuals/races/groups that aren't on their "utopian no money" system.

Like, how do UFP members pay for drinks at Quark's (or for anything else outside of the Federation?)

But, yeah, Armin, as usual, forget that Bajor is its own entity. Rom will get paid, since he's working for the Bajorans, not the UFP.

Yeah Armin rarely indulges him but I thought it was telling Chase couldn't be bothered either.

There were a few similar moments across the episode, painful.

Then his comment about Worf and Dax reacting too strongly to the noise they heard as if a space station is just like your own house.

Robbie finally put him out of his misery, but it was brutal and took way too long. Ugh.

Yeah, every episode seems to have those kinds of oddball comments where they don't really think things through.
