Does this make the Jem'Hadar the local crack heads that like to ransack the place?

Does this make Rom's minefield just a bunch of speed bumps?

Why is there a picture of DS9 in a post about Babylon 5?

    Okay, so there's two shows from the nineties about shopping malls in space. . .

    What's to say... people in the 90s really liked shopping malls. And space.

    Shopping malls were pretty cool back then though, an actual place to hang out! Nothing like the bleak liminal wastelands of today.

    we could make local spaces cool to hang out in, but like that takes committees and shit. you gotta organize and right now a lot of us got bigger things to build than parks.

    Yes absolutely! And hopefully when there's time again to work on the smaller things we can build third spaces that don't rely on proximity to consumerism and capital.

    that don’t rely on proximity to consumerism and capital.

    my dude, i was part of organizing and filling the first few years of a concert series that was our city park a better third space. ten years ago they started charging admission. it was just $3 a concert this year, but still we fundraised for that stage so it would be free this is bullshit.

    They're so threatened by socialism they compulsively require the performance of consumerism.

    I'm guessing the $3 basically only covered the cost of having an admission/ticket system in the first place?

    That's nostalgia talking. Back then we thought of them as dystopian examples of hyper capitalism.

    For me they had the ice rink and the theater and you could take to bus to them and they were open. They were also pretty central so they were a good meet up point.

    I agree there are absolutely better options for restoring third spaces that again, don't rely on proximity to consumerism.

    How dare you. It’s not just a shopping mall. It’s a shopping mall and casino.

    Quark traffics everything,

    But also, how do you explain why pretty much every time we see some one going in the bajoran temple…they hallucinate?

    Oh you thought it was the glowy hourglass thing? Naw.. that’s just to anchor the trip.

    Fun fact: the nose of the Defiant is packed with explosives

    And all the sensors for the ship. And it's detachable!

    Also, the defiant has 3 shuttle craft. A working medbay on a combat ship? Nope, but 3 shuttles.

    My cousin Ensign Walter jerked off in public once. True story. He was on a shuttle to Terra Luna when all of a sudden the impulse engines went. The shuttle started spinning around, going out of control, so he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other ensigns take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the ensigns are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of a sudden, snap! The impulse engines kick back in. The shuttle rights itself and it lands safely, and everyone puts their pieces or whatever, you know, away and deboards. No one mentions the phenomenon to anyone else.

    Even in the future, shopping malls are failing. Just look at Empok Nor.

    Let's build on the idea. A series about WW3, whose epicenter is the Metrocenter mall from Bill & Ted.

    I'd also accept the Eden Prarie Mall (from Mallrats).
