Sure you aren't out looking for a new hat?
Just for that, I'm changing my avatar. This is me in 2015 borrowing someone else's hat for a project I was working on. Works just as well here.
Ok, no fleeing to Tasmania!
I've been watching The Flash recently, and it also has a "generically far in the future" event happen in 2024. And Trek did this twice, with DS9 and PIC going to now. What is it about this year that makes it a time travel nexus? It's almost as bad as London in the 1940s.
Interesting discussion of DS9 and the Bell Riots from a very left-wing perspective.

Remembering How to Care: Lessons From “Deep Space Nine”
“We can exist in a future beyond the status quo,” says author Robyn Maynard.

Interesting. It's difficult to discuss the article without delving into politics, but it feels like the discussion, especially the host, is trying to shoehorn the series into a specific strand of political radicalism, not the broader, nuanced progressivism that Behr arguably preferred.
Yeah, definitely a bit far there, but I did like how they brought up that Kira was a major departure from previous characters and Bajor itself was a departure in how cultures were usually presented.
My like fir BTC is kinda on the line, but this segment was great. Why do people support Trump again?
I'm not nearly ready for this day. I need weird outfit and a chonky 1990's computer.
Once again we have to send our gratitudes to the amazing genius Henry Starling whose dabbling with timelines obviously moved some events forward or made them not happen.
This great man who started the "computer revolution" is worth to be remembered for that and more.

Oh, wait. Wrong episode isn't it?
Oh, wait. Wrong episode isn't it?
For DS9 it simply may have been '30 years from now' (episode apparently was filmed around October '94, so perhaps the script was originally written in August of that year), for PIC I suppose they basically wanted it to happen '20 minutes into the future' (but in an alternate universe).
)
The riot itself was on 9/2/24. I remember that much.
Just finished watching Part I. Gods, I probably thought this was unlikely back in 1994.
Finished Part II. Everyone - especially Brooks - brought their A game to this story. Absolutely brilliant.
