the DS9 writers really needed a couple hard smacks as to what is and is not a loving act, good lordie gracious me
#ds9 tag
#parents AND romantic partners!
#my DUDES
#the really offensive part is as ever more technical than anything
#when you have a stupid plot element or abhorrent moral statement
#you do not make it TWICE
#(the abhorrent duplicate element here being
#'eh fuck those guys I luuurve you so letting other people die is nbd lol luuuuurve'
#at least future!odo has the dubious honor of erasing people from existence
#rather than straight up abandoning someone and letting who knows how many die in effin' war)
#like again! christ jesus people
#there are ways to have your characters make bad-yet-understandable moral choices
#without needing to slap a shitton of fawning narrative agreement on it
#like the narrative need not even DISagree
#it is in fact perfectly understandable to prioritized loved ones over others even if objectively wrong in whatever case
#this brings us to at least three such instances however
#where it'd've been a whole lot less infuriating if the writing itself wasn't saying SEE SEE HOW LOVING AND REASONABLE ISN'T HE GREAT
#(the third being as regular tagrant readers can probably guess Hippocratic Oath lol)
#and also I am just sayin' the second time Sisko tells Worf dude that was fucked up not okay and not professional
#and he's right but
#if I liked Worf I'd be maaaaaaad at this show
