[Triskelion]

Bashir hits the bullseye of the dartboard whenever he wants, from any distance?

Rom at bat gets a bunt without even looking?

Ezri's runabout coasts to Worf's escape pod in the violent currents of the Badlands?

Ezri's family has dealings with the widow of Bilby (Miles' Orion Syndicate contact)?

Ezri throws a baseball and it lands on top of a buried Tear of the Prophets?


...Other coincidences stretch your suspension of disbelief?

 

[Michael]

It's a television show. They are moving faster than the speed of light. I can accept almost everything.

Pretty cool genetic enhancements.

Rom at bat gets a bunt without even looking?

Fortune favors the goofy.

Ezri's runabout coasts to Worf's escape pod in the violent currents of the Badlands?

Jadzia's spirit leading her to save her Husband.

Ezri's family has dealings with the widow of Bilby (Miles' Orion Syndicate contact)?

Dumb coincidence?

Ezri throws a baseball and it lands on top of a buried Eye of the Prophets?

The prophets work in mysterious ways.

Ezri throws a baseball and it lands on top of a buried Eye of the Prophets?

Maybe not so silly or hazardous to suspension of disbelief when one considers that Sisko is prophet-Jesus and the wormhole aliens initially learned of linear time via a baseball analogy...

Wow, good catch! I never thought about that connection. Do you have more of those?

 

[goober007]

what was the analogy? i forget.

^Nothing terribly specific. He used the linear nature of the game-- that nobody could no the outcome until the game had been played-- to explain linear time to them.

Bashir hits the bullseye of the dartboard whenever he wants, from any distance?

He is genetically-engineered. With proper calculations and precise hand movements than it is entirely possible to hit a bullseye the vast majority of the time.

Rom at bat gets a bunt without even looking?

Silly, but it is a comedy episode. He was also leaning forward so the bat was over the plate.

Ezri's runabout coasts to Worf's escape pod in the violent currents of the Badlands?

A current carried one object to the place where it carried another object? Inconceivable!

Ezri's family has dealings with the widow of Bilby (Miles' Orion Syndicate contact)?

Too true. Then again, nobody ever accused "Prodigal Daughter" of being a particularly good episode.

Ezri throws a baseball and it lands on top of a buried Tear of the Prophets?

I dunno. The Prophets are gods and this seemed suitably... prophetic.

I'm actually usually accused of making up connections that clearly don't exist. So, yeah, I have plenty more, but most of them are ridiculous. Helps me keep canon intact under almost any circumstance.

I think anyone who has seen professional dart players would agree. If a regular human can hit a bullseye 9 times out 10 with practice there's no reason a genetically engineered human couldn't be even better. Keep in mind, we also don't know the exact details of how advanced Bashir is.

^ They said in one episode that his genetic enhancements give him 100% hand-eye coordination.
