Yeah, apparently Ronald Moore used the excuse that field commissions stick or that it's an old tradition to defer to the commanding officer of a ship, despite real rank (earlier in the season, when Jadzia took command of the Defiant, everyone called her captain), but I still feel it's a lot of bunk. I mean, what if it had been Worf who'd been picked up by the Valiant? I have a hard time believing he'd put up with Ferris's bullshit and having to call her "sir."

It's interesting, though. This review has really brought out a lot of people who are just "meh" about the series in general but totally in love with Voyager, which surprised me. I admit I don't hang out in Trek circles much. I guess I'm just used to sfdebris and confused matthew, who both praise DS9 and condemn Voyager to the lowest levels of hell. To be honest, as I said in the video, I love DS9 precisely because it broke free from Roddenberry's conflict-free, homogenous utopia and shows that, no matter how evolved we get, we're always going to have some kind of dark side to us. In that respect, it feels a lot like Star Trek VI to me, which is one of my favorite Trek films.

Thanks, as always, for the feedback. And, really, I need a haircut? ;_;
