As powerful as this scene was, the next one has Rom asking his mom to get naked. Ferengis are the best!

    DS9 dabbled into politics in ways the other series never did, to the point of a culture conflict, war, genocide, oppression, occupancy, etc.

      DS9 certainly took it to a more intense point, but there’s not a single Star Trek series that wasn’t constantly swimming in politics, philosophy and ethics dilemmas. Anyone who thinks there isn’t real life politics in Star Trek isn’t paying attention.

        Most of the other series were more philosophical. It wasn’t really about the long-lasting impacts of politics, rather more just thought problems that were wiped away at the end of the episode.

        I think that’s what OP meant when they said “…politics in ways the other series never did”.

          Also, to put it more simply.

          When faced with Q, Picard tried to reason against an unreasonable foe using philosophy. (theory)

          When faced with Q, Sisko punched him. (praxis)

      And don’t forget Miles O’Brien, union man. Or Quark’s employees forming a union for that matter

    Star Trek going woke again, who would seriously allow women to wear clothes, let alone earn profit. Disgusting!

    There doesn’t exist sci fi that isn’t political. Even space opera and strange fiction is political.

    Moogie is great. I love the scene where she is explaining some sort of investment she has to Iggy-Pop Vorta, who then responds with something like, “As fascinating as this is, if your son doesn’t collect you soon I’m going to have to kill you.”
