I never got the impression that the Ketracel White did anything other than to keep them alive. Other than withdrawal symptoms, it’s not like it made them high or sped them up in any way when they were injected.

And, of course, we have the Jem'Hadar of the Dominion. Genetically engineered to be reliant on ketracel-white injections into their carotid arteries that make them fanatically loyal to both the Founders and their Vorta field handlers.

Wow, I thought the first season of DS9 was pretty mediocre and the show got good with each season especially when the war stuff started.

I wouldn't put it past them. They have a whole 24 episodes left. They need to get some ideas somewhere since they don't seem to have any fresh ones. What next a holodeck on the 1701 which is as good as what was on the D and the get stuck in a holo story? Nah. They wouldn't do that.

...standards, you need to add a plot in which it turns out Archer built the Doomsday Machine to try and protect the Federation from the Dominion (the existence of which was revealed to him by the Guardian of Forever), but it went rogue after being remotely hacked by Vaal, which itself had gone...

I also gave it a 3 and we concur on most of your points. The only difference is I did like Sabotage in Beyond only bc of the call back to the 2009 scene with young Kirk in his dad's car. And Pine's face in Beyond when he heard the song made it a satisfactory call back as well. I don't mind those...

...the de Lancie easter egg. If this was a longer season, the silliness would feel earned... DS9, for instance, would have 6 episodes of the Dominion War then have a levity episode with Worf and Dax's wedding. But because the seasons were longer, those episodes felt EARNED. Here, with such...

...along with some classic Star Trek fun with things like "Babel". The Bajor/Cardassia stuff is where the show really shines IMO, not the later Dominion stuff. The second and third seasons are a patchy mix of good standalone episodes and some pretty bland stuff. If you start getting bored at...

In Whom Gods Destroy, they could blast through the field, but would risk destroying the colony dome, which would kill everybody on Elba II. They talked about taking out the field on the other side of the planet where it was weakest, but a team in EV suits would have to cover "thousands of miles...

That is probably then an anachronistic outlook. The series is not the Dominion War, and fee series of its duration focused only on a singular story. Duet was very much focused on the evolution of Sisko and Kira, two people broken by the past. Duet is an episode in which Kira reckons with a...

...the status quo in the Alpha Quadrant hasn't changed. The Klingons still control DS9 and the Wormhole. Seems like the war is over, but the Dominion haven't been seen in over 20 years. The Klingons are willing to let Starfleet go through the Wormhole to test the waters. Translation: if...

...enemies who chafed under peacetime and might easily break faith. I didn't get the sense that they were still active conquerors before the Dominion plants stirred things up against the Cardassians... But in some ways, the idea that the Federation would ally with them in spite of being more of...

...it was enjoyable for what it was, ranking somewhere in the middle for the overall franchise (ranking after the first two films and Dominion). I will give the film credit where it is due: Gareth Edwards' directing is astounding and John Mathieson's cinematography is breathtaking. If nothing...

The point is that it's not a binary choice between zero continuity and total continuity. There were multiple Trek tie-in continuities that were consistent (ish) within themselves yet incompatible with one another. Just because there was a widespread novel continuity for 20 years doesn't mean it...

And mentioned that it felt very different from who they had been for a long time. Edit: A military organization where combat-readiness is not its primary task, where vast numbers of members (and not just the lowest-rank) are genuinely surprised and ambivalent when armed conflict actually...

Are we really still debating whether or not Starfleet is a military? When the Dominion War happened, who fought it for the Federation? Case closed. (And, yes, that is applicable in a TNG forum because the events of the Dominion War were mentioned by Picard in Insurrection.)

...is they're making itself better and I wonder if it would have been more appropriate to make them worse (see the Cardassians joining the Dominion). Arguably less interesting politically as that may be. If I'm making sense. I THINK Star Trek Online's handwave was the fact that it was an...

...Similarly I'm not sure those involved in Project Full Circle (save the Admiral who certainly had his own motivations) chalk that up as a victory either. Might've just been better to stay home. (I know, that's not why they build ships...but the Dominion War had basically just happened.)

...but no, I'm definitely not too interested in the fatherhood/Jake stuff; I'm mainly interested in the Cardassians, the wormhole, and the Dominion War. I'm therefore a bit surprised that the "Spectrum" reviewer only rated "The Maquis" as mildly important, but I guess The Maquis didn't...

...story and the Maquis arc. 4x23 - To the Death - Introduction of Weyoun. 4x24 - The Quickening - Shows the consequences of pissing off the Dominion (also it's really good). 4x25 - Body Parts - Important for Kira. 5x02 - The Ship - Some Dominion drama with one minor consequence down the road...
