DS9+17: 116: If Wishes Were Horses
Another done-in-one involving aliens with near-omnipotence. Seems to be a lot of those in the ST universe. Which is not really that hard to believe, all things considered. These particular aliens examine new species by physically manifesting as things that people imagine. Neat trick. Plus, you probably get stuck in lots of sexual situations, which I suppose could be interesting.
The rundown:
- Julian basically begs Dax for sex. Was TNG this comfortable joking about sex?
- They still have Kindles in the future? Wait, those are in color! So there was some advancement…
- Morn is “an androgynous characters” or something like that
- Quark imagines sex bunnies. Duh.
- Odo imagines Quark in jail. Or emus.
- Sisko gets his baseball hero – I guess baseball looped back around to the portly figures again.
- Julian imagines a sex bunny Dax, making for some pretty amusing moments with the real Dax (who continues to be awesome. She does the best knowing smiles), and shows that he isn’t a total dick. Still a perv though, but at least he wants to earn his perving honestly. Except that he totally would have hit that imagination if his com hadn’t gone off…
- O’Brien imagines Rumpelstiltskin. Who happens to be played by the DWARF FROM TWIN PEAKS. Yes!
- Kira imagines people dying in flames. She’s got some issues.
- Sisko once again proves why we wears the particular jumpsuit that he wears, by being awesome.
- He is rewarded for his awesomeness with the closing knowing smile.
All in all, it was one of the better done episodes this season and I enjoyed it. Score one for emus & nymphodax.
