Ray’s Take on Episode 2.13: “Armageddon Game”
Harvesters sound right nasty, and they are.
I love it when the technobabble includes real concepts. A real engineer or physicist would blow a gasket, but as an armchair theoretical physicist, I find it quite enjoyable.
10,000 Muon particles pass through our bodies each minute, some do ionize molecules and may cause harmful genetic mutations. Muon particles are being used to map the insides of pyramids and volcanoes.
Peter White, who plays Ambassador Sharat, was in the 1998 movie, Armageddon.
We’re they decimated or devastated? Ten percent is bad, but it could have been worse, like 12%… [Admiral Jim’s Note: The CONSTANT misuse of the word “decimated” drives me absolutely mad. I’m deeply disappointed that even Star Trek made this tooth-grating mistake!]
“I suppose another day won’t kill me”. You jinxed yourself, Miles.
See? Alien food can be nauseating.
I can relate to the “help me by not helping me” concept.
Cliche platitudes HAVE to be delivered and are largely worthless. People vaporize pretty quickly in DS9. It’s diabolical.
Miles is truly brilliant since he can visualize working on alien technology.
So, Bashir is a foot guy. No judgement here, but, having massaged many ballerinas, I can assure you that they have pretty awful feet. Ballet is unnaturally hard on human feet.
Trying to destroy knowledge NEVER works, and the attempt most likely attracts more interest.
Faked videos can cut both ways.
Miles DOES drink coffee in the afternoon. Keiko was wrong about her husband’s habits. I found that to be a rather funny twist.
