“It is my philosophy that on this station there is room for all philosophies.”

Attempting to acquire food before the frak. It’s gonna be close :eek:

and I made it!!!

“It’s a natural sweetness.”

Sounds like my diabetic father rationalizing food choices. :rolleyes:

hey! firing up the dvd

Kai Winn’s objection really isn’t that unreasonable, is it?

I mean, we’re not talking about invisible men in the sky here. There are actual godlike entities directly influencing the real world. Calling them “the Prophets” at the very least deserves a mention.

oh boo there’s definitely something missing from the file on this disc. booooooooooooooo. (the episode isn’t 36 minutes long… :()

it’s also available on Amazon Prime Instant, if that helps :frowning:

Damn you, Keiko! :mad:

vedek winn… booooooooooooooooooooooo

Kira’s kind of a bitca, huh?

gotta side with Keiko here. No Winn bigotry in education.

And given how hard it was to get any school started in the first place, how does Kira think that they would get a Bajoran school going, too?

“I told her I would do anything to look into their eyes.”

Foreshadowing! :eek:

hmmmm. religious conservatism and hypocrisy in the same character. how’d they come up with that? :rolleyes:

I can’t agree. Keiko is completely dismissive of her views. At the very least, acknowledging that Bajorans worship godlike aliens as gods is a valid statement.

But if you had to choose one of the 2 extremes? I’m with Keiko before I’m with Winn.

But Keiko’s being hypocritical as well. This isn’t a simple fact vs. faith argument. In this case, the scientific facts aren’t necessarily incompatible with the religious interpretation. To ignore that religious viewpoint is just as incomplete a picture.

I’m with Sisko’s interpretation. :slight_smile:

oh, Ben Sisko, I <3 you!

Well one can make that argument about science/religion conflicts on Earth today, but there are religious groups that refuse to see how scientific facts can fit with religious interpretation. Keiko makes a good point when she recognizes that relenting about the wormhole (and she doesn’t seem to be particularly cognizant of people besides her husband supporting her) would set a precedent when other scientific issues come up down the road.

That said, my estimation may be colored by how much Vedek/Kai Winn sucks later on.

ditto!

better than baltar!
