So I’ve been barely active on Lemmy for a litany of reasons but I am active elsewhere. Specifically, Bluesky. I run an account that I’ve posted here a couple times called the Starfleet Press Office where I post lil tweets that take place kinda within the Star Trek universe, breaking the fourth wall to an extent. The idea is that the Department of Temporal Investigations owed a favor to the team in charge of the S.P.O so he got a temporal link to Bsky set up. For fun. So random tweets get posted that are commenting on current episodes (A few were made for different Lower Decks episodes as they were posted), other ones about just random events in the universe that I think would be funny (sometimes lining up with holidays, like some Santa teleportation nonsense), and others that take real world events and parody them in the Star Trek universe, like the ferengi CEO of a health insurance conglomerate getting killed.
I’m clearly doing something right because @RealGulDukat, the guy who posts Trump tweets as if Dukat said them, follows only 13 people on Bsky and one of them is me. So whatever nonsense I keep posting I’m just gonna stick with. Drop by and say hi!
Formed a union, charmed one of the most beautiful women in the quadrant, saved that quadrant with a mix of intelligence and courage, raised his son to be a war hero, and eventually became the Grand Nagus.
We Stan Rom in this house.
If you haven’t seen Ron’s guest appearance in Star Trek: Lower Decks, be sure to check it out. It’s a delight.
I’ve only seen the first season so far (my borg-loving husband won rock paper scissors, and we’re finishing voyager first), but that’s wild. I’m very excited for Rom’s character development.
DS9 is the Star Trek series with the most (and best) character development. Rom is only a recurring secondary character, yet look at the discussion here! And wait until you get to Nog’s character development…
Nearly every character had a good level of character development, from the main cast to reoccurring characters. Damar l, Dukat, Kai Winn, hell even Morn has character development, the writing team on DS9 were next level with writing of characters. There’s more character growth in one season of DS9 than the entirety of game of thrones.
