I love that “Julius” in Far Beyond the Stars is constantly smoking when Julian is a doctor who gets huffy when someone eats too much dessert.

“Cassie” is a wonderful cook and owns a restaurant when Kasidy could burn water.

‘Willie" is some pro baseball player lady’s man meanwhile Worf is a socially awkward warrior dork whose idea of playing baseball involves shouting “DEATH TO THE OPPOSITION.”

“Herb” is a social progressive and possible communist (according to Armin) meanwhile Quark is… Quark.

“Jimmy” thinks writing is stupid, meanwhile Jake is an avid writer.

“Roy” is an artist meanwhile Martok would probably die rather than touch a watercolor.

Sisko is awesome. He’s a quiet, one man 24th
Century equal access revolution. He’s the Captain who:

  • Wrote a letter of recommendation to allow the first (and
    only) Ferengi to join Starfleet
  • Had the first (and only) Klingon in Starfleet as his
    Commander. AT THE TIME that it seemed very likely the Federation and the
    Klingons were about to go to war.
  • Pulled strings to keep the first (and only) openly Augmented
    Officer in Starfleet from losing his commission and kept him on as his Doctor even
    though he was illegal. ALL WHILE never once mentioning that Bashir had lied to
    him for five years.
  • Had the only Changeling in the quadrant as his Chief of
    Security. AT THE SAME TIME as there was a mass-panic about Changelings and the
    Federation were at war with them. AND never once suggested Odo try and become
    more humanoid…

Half of his senior staff are exceptions. He supports them quietly and, presumably,
behind the scenes defends their right to be there, mostly without them knowing it. Sisko rocks.

We’ve made it guys

Well it’s been a long road, (unintential ENT pun) everyone, but It’s here!

Sometime today, November 10th, 2018, a process that nearly been five years in the making, being marked only by the collective memory of Tumblr’s Star Trek Side, which endures after all this time. 

A worm is being born on some small planet out there in the galaxy,

and that worm will go through pain,

and loss,

and love,

and several different bodies,

But it will touch the lives of millions of us here on Earth. Some of us for the first time relating to someone who loves as we do.

I owe a lot to Dax, if you can’t tell. But if there’s anything Star Trek has taught me, it’s that there’s always a future to look forward to.

And I feel honored to have shared some of it with Dax. 

Today is the begining of our future. Now, let’s not disapoint by not showing up, we’ve got a wormhole to get to in the next 370 years.

Happy Birthday, Dax.

Welcome to the galaxy, little worm, it’s going to be a wild ride.
