@ghost_bird@CornishRepublicanArmy umbreon and espeon evolve based on love and also the time of day.. without a metagaming context i think this is pleasant. but with a metagaming context it fits into your criticism
all this talk of medieval and renaissance propaganda gots me wanting to read deeply into the propaganda campaigns that i assume were leveled against the diggers/levellers and how the diggers interfered with the renaissance image of progress and colonialism.
I spend a lot of time on here getting pissed off at myths about the Middle Ages, whether it's the idea that they didn't do philosophy, or that they were idiots who couldn't draw. These misconceptions are down to the myth of the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages is the way the medieval period is taught at school: you had the enlightened Roman Empire, a golden era of wisdom and liberty, then you had a millenium of pure wretchedness before the Renaissance kicked "Western civilisation" back into high gear.
@pingviini@polychrome I'm starting to learn the things wrong with roddenberry... new to trek myself and ds9 is my first real venture into it and I've loved it
He.. likes to break the rules to do the right thing, which I assume most commanders are like.. He's troubled and bears a lot of sadness. Nice to everybody and a little too trusting sometimes, which I love. I don't have much experience with other trek shows.... how does he differ from Picard? I hardly remember picard at all
I'm watching an episode focusing on sisko... I like him a lot as an individual character. He's really hard to get a read on. I can't put my finger on what he's about
