There was an early episode where a guy wanted Quark to get a good 3D scan of Kira so he could make a porn holoprogram with her as the star.
i can't have been the only one that thought this face swap woulda been a near perfect woman?

I thought episode 1 was good, not GOOD but not ehhh either.

I kinda forgot where things ended off but the show itself reminded me enough that I didnt have to go back.

I am kinda like "but..." about the fact that they delivered an entire bad guy super ship , intact with keys in the ignition and....nothing? like "eh carry on"

Apparently last night's episode was supposed to air in Season 1, before they broke things off. Not that you might have noticed with the heavy handed in your face nature of the episode.

I was disappointed with the first episode that we didn't see the epic stream of piss. But I think next time I take a leak I'm going to try shouting like that and see if it cleanses my soul.

...and game over. Show jumped the shark. My only guess is he's tired of working and is trying to get the show cancelled.

Ehh a little heavy handed with teh gay or whatever but overall was not bad...

They should have shown the shuttle STUFFED, like they could have gotten like 15 more people in there

maybe it'd make more sense if they tried harder w/ "we can only carry 4500lbs of cargo"

Presumably it was a mass issue vs. a volume issue.

That makes it worse, if it was actually a mass issue they could just take all the kids then people by weight rather than an arbitrary number. Plus, the shuttle ceasing to work instead of moving more slowly when overloaded requires some serious handwaving.

Face it, it was just a half-assed attempt at justifying 'amg, moral dilemma!!' .

Finally started watching this. This show is good shit. Despite the comedic core, it has really good, "serious" storylines.

Far superior to what is supposed to pass as Star Trek these days.

I am shocked that a bunch of internet porn addicts thought this episode was heavy handed.

Shocked, I tell you. It was great and the gay porn shit was funny as hell. My only disappointment was the supposed 'weird' porn was just a gonzo scene.

At first I thought this, too. But then I overthought things a bit and realized it was probably the craziest thing Bortus could imagine and he even smiled. So it wasn't crazy to many of us, perhaps, but fit the character and that race for being taboo, perhaps. And the funniest part (maybe intentionally for the meta humor) was even my girlfriend was like 'that's it, that's the crazy fantasy' basically admitting out loud she doesn't think a fucking gang bang is all that taboo. I don't think McFarlane seriously couldn't come up with something crazier. Or, yeah, maybe he's intentionally writing the show badly so it get's cancelled like that Fucker Fucker said.

I nearly died when it turned out the porn had a virus in it. And then when the Moclans went all over Isaac as he tried to fix it. This is just too good. I doubt those few who can't even watch two monogender aliens make out will get this show cancelled.

But they are not mono gendered naturally... i dont know if it was bad writing and needing parts of the story to happen or if it was intentional.

"Moclans only birth a female 1 out of a 1000000000" or whatever, yet, Borus' mate was a girl, their kid was a girl and there was a secret girl exile, so it really is that they are artificially maintaining the male mono-sex as 3 known cases in 1-2 generations seems "more" than what was stated. Also they seemed to have the operation ready to go, rather than even a line "The operation is done so rarely that there is a delay" or something,

I'm gonna chalk this up to random large number inaccuracies similar to when they accidentally made the entire population of Trill only 1.8 million strong in DS9.
