DS9 s4e2 “The Visitor” and ACA s1e5 “Series Acclimation Mil”

By the way, up to episode 5 of Academy is in the clear for meming purposes.

    What a roller coaster I experienced with “Series Acclimation Mil.” More or less started with an eyeroll and ended with me giddy and pointing at the screen like that Leo meme. It actually made me come around on SAM as a character. I recently watched the final arc of DS9 with this episode’s revelations in mind, and it really enriches things while also making them more complicated. It actually becomes a sort of fitting coda to DS9 (which itself is a show about enriching and also complicating things). Tawny Newsome is a treasure.

    I loved ACA and I’m sad that it’s been cancelled.

    EDIT to correct Tawny Newsome’s name. Must’ve had The Last Man on Earth on my mind when I wrote it as “Tandy.” That or the Tony Todd/Candyman thing just got in there and portmandeau portmandeux Natalie Portman Mountain Dew it got all combined, yeah?

      I bet Tawny Newsome would be thrilled to hear you say that honestly. She said she wanted to give Captain Sisko and Jake a proper send off and it sounds like she accomplished that!

          Oh I didn’t even notice haha. I always have to look it up because I try to spell it “Tawney Newsom”.

          Also, The Last Man on Earth was underrated and I’m sad that it got cancelled! On a cliffhanger no less.

      Tawny’s character made me cry. Partly the character herself and partly because I know that she must have been so happy to play her. It was lovely to see her and I want more.
