space is big when you're in love
I'm still interspersedly watching DS9 season 7, which is really almost more crack-addled than anything Chris Carter ever came up with. I mean, this season gives us "Chimera," the big gay crazy Odo episode, and I don't think I ever even NOTICED how insanely gay it was because when I initially watched the season I can only assume I was distracted and confused by ALL THE CRACK. To wit:
Observe the soap opera worthy crackiness, whereat at this point in the series it can be recapped thusly: Odo has a big gay affair with a male changeling vagabond, and has sex with said changeling several times, while being condoned in his actions by his new girlfriend Kira, who Odo finally got the courage to ask out after Vic the hologram created a holographic Kira for Odo to practice on. Which is fine, because at this point Kira is busily getting over having given birth to the O'Brien's baby and breaking up with Shakaar, so it makes sense she'd have a season of heavy changeling sex with Odo who learned it all from the hot changeling sex he had with Ma Changeling last season, combined with the hot humanoid sex he had with Ms. Bedroom Eyes.
Meanwhile, Julian, who it turns out was genetically engineered in his childhood, is falling in love with Ezri Dax, the latest incarnation of Jadzia Dax, who married Worf but got killed by a Pah-Wraith possessed Gul Dukat before she could have Worf's baby. Ezri returned and tried to rekindle her tryst with Worf, but shouted out Julian's name in her sleep and the rest unfolded as it does in those situations.
Dukat, of course, didn't mean to kill Jadzia, but only did so because he also found himself reborn as the leader of a Bajoran cult, and so he underwent plastic surgery to look Bajoran and started up a marriage of eeevil with Kai Winn Adami, who also learned she'd been bidden to do the work of the Pah-Wraiths. Fortunately for us, the Emissary of the Prophets stands ready to challenge the forces of eeevil, except for the fact that the Prophets told him not to marry his Maquis-aiding freighter captain girlfriend Kasidy, and Sisko went ahead and did it anyway.
I seriously think everyone on this show is having sex at the moment. Has there ever been a season of any OTHER Star Trek with so much soap operatude? I mean, could you imagine a season where Picard was taking up with Crusher after having a short fling with Deanna, who rebounded in Data's arms but then married Geordi, and Riker gets killed and reincarnated as a woman who has a hot lesbian affair with Vash, who has returned with Q powers to conquer the universe? Meanwhile, Worf and Wesley Crusher finally admitted their deep and abiding love and, with the help of Dr. Barclay, were able to give birth to a child comprised of all three of their DNA. Her name, of course, is Lillianna.

And Dukat, oh, I miss him so much. Dukat, as we all know, was character-assassinated in S5's "Waltz" and was never heard from again. This new guy is PUUUURE EEEEVIL and, strangely, not nearly as hot without the Cardassian makeup.
