“I don’t need a medical opinion to tell me my own capabilities…”

Watch online at Amazon or Netflix.

IIRC this is a Bashir in love ep, right?

Isn’t every episode? :slight_smile:

That alien annoys me. How could a species possibly evolved with something blocking their mouth like that?

Hey! It’s Vampire Nan! :slight_smile:

ETA: Oh wait. No, it’s not. Never mind. :stuck_out_tongue:

“I’m a shower man, myself”
orly?! do tell, Bashir, do tell…

wow, dabo girl boob alert

I hate this trope. Kind “normal” person sees through disabled person’s dickishness to the true heart of gold within. blech

It’s super 90s, though. Almost all the narratives I got about disability when I was in school followed this pattern, for whatever reason.

Nothing better than a bowl of worms and fresh fruit. :stuck_out_tongue:

Obvious gummy worm there. :slight_smile:

Wouldn’t it just be easier to reduce the artificial gravity in a section of the station?

ETA: Yeah, like that. :slight_smile:

I don’t really remember this episode.

I realize it’s easier to use a humanoid actor, but why would Melora have the same body type as a human woman? Wouldn’t the different gravity change structure and whatnot?

oh here we go, failing the Bechdel test. Alas.

Something more like this?

See, I don’t get this. They have artificial gravity and repulsor technology. Geordie can make armbands that control the flow of time. Why can’t she just have a personal anti-gravity field generator? How difficult could that possibly be, given their level of technology?

well she’s just an ensign…

“Would that explain why my backside is getting warm?”

Oh my. :eek:

So shouldn’t there be some kind of medical ethics with just using this experimental treatment on her?

Not to mention the logistics of just ramping up her neural output while ignoring that her species’ evolution. Doing that to a human wouldn’t make us stronger. It would probably give us an aneurysm. :eek:

Didn’t she live happily ever after?

Um I think it depends on which version you read…
