  • The problem with Keiko is that she just isn’t on miles level so she comes off as self absorbed in the face of a genuine man who is literally out there saving the alpha and delta quadrant weekly.

    She’s tolerable in TNG because she’s more of a plot device for Miles but for DS9 they lean into the fact that she’s a mother and a wife and I guess the point of her character was to show the dynamics of family life for non-officers for star fleet. there’s no way Keiko should know whats going on - it’s way over her head - she’s just trying to live a normal life, but she has absolutely no deference for the fact that she’s married to one of the most hard working and honourable people in the whole galaxy and that really just makes her a nag and annoying af.












  • I think it’s more an existentialist response than an indictment of Binghamton:

    “Everybody has to have a hometown, Binghamton’s mine. In the strangely brittle, terribly sensitive make-up of a human being, there is a need for a place to hang a hat or a kind of geographical womb to crawl back into, or maybe just a place that’s familiar because that’s where you grew up. When I dig back through memory cells, I get one particularly distinctive feeling—and that’s one of warmth, comfort and well-being. For whatever else I may have had, or lost, or will find—I’ve still got a hometown. This, nobody’s gonna take away from me.” —Rod Serling
