This entire Emissary bullshit has been a sore in my sight since day one. And thanks to his delusions, what should have been an interesting, possibly dramatic reunion with Yates, just went under and ended up being about his obsession with the stupid ass wormhole aliens who are NOW, 50 years after bloody murder and genocide and occupation, choosing to drop weird and subtle hints to Sisko about Bajor not joining the Federation because it would be soooo bad for them because, of course they were. That;s how god(s) operate. <br /><br />Being endlessly elusive and speaking in codes and hidden messages is what all gods and deities seem to have in common. Anyone ever wonder why god or gods always have to play hard to get? Hard to decipher? Speak in codes and symbols? Why they can never just come right out and say "look, this is it. This is what I want out of you. Black on white. In simple language.Just fucking do it" No of course not, they have to be all cryptic and mysterious becasue if i was a deity and wanted people to do as I say and worship my narcissistic ass, i would also not come right out and tell them. i would make them squirm and crawl and pray and beg and see themselves as lowly entities who need to beg for my grace and mercy and have...FAITH. Because only if you believe in me after i made it abundantly clear I dont give a shit, may I consider caring. <br /><br />I mean really? Am i to believe that the prophets who ddint give two shits about Bajor being under the yoke of genocidal murders for over 5 decades are now suddenly starting to care? Well, this is religion we are talking about, so I guess we are. <br /><br />*Sigh* I wish that Pah Wraith had killed these wormhole aliens in The Assignment and rid us of all these idiotic Bajoran faith episodes. LOL. This was painful to watch and i really wanted to see consequences for Sisko. Brain damage, death of someone as a consequences of his stupid actions, a demotion maybe. I didnt wanna see a happy ending where things go back to normal because that is not real life, especially with religion as your guide. The absurdity of religion is surpassed only by the sheer ignorant of its followers and I love that the Trek writers nailed it (albeit i am not sure intentionally or not). poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064123327462038174noreply@blogger.com
