The Musical Could Be So Fucking Funny For All The Obvious Reasons But ALSO Because We Have:

the musical could be so fucking funny for all the obvious reasons but ALSO because we have:

uhura, who loves music and will take this to the extreme

spock, who loves music but not singing

una, who is a gilbert & sullivan nerd and liable to be SO extra about being in an actual!!! musical!!!

la'an, who lied to them all about having a bad singing voice and will be violently exposed

AND the rest of this amazing crew

a list of potential causes for la'an's lying abt being fine in the among the lotus eaters trailer:

episode-specific alien shenanigans

non-episode-specific alien shenanigans

physical harm as a direct result of time/cross-universal travel (similar to georgiou????)

mental harm (that could lead to physical harm) from jimothy's death

a proper exploration of mental illness thru her

and, just bc it reminds me of one (1) torchwood scene: slowly being shot in the head as a result of reviving someone who was shot in the head using her own life force

please add more im so fucking starved of la'an content

fuuuuuuuuuck i forgot the black t-shirt that goes under my uniform shirt for star trek birmingham

[vid id: An audience member video capture of a blooper played at the DS9 panel at SDCC 2019 that had not been previously shown.

The scene begins as if it were Quark and Odo's last scene in the finale of DS9.

QUARK: "So, now that I’m here… is there something you want to say to me?"

ODO: "Such as?"

QUARK: "Such as, 'Goodbye. You certainly were a worth adversary.' Or maybe something with the words 'mutual respect' in it."

ODO: "No."

QUARK: "No? What do you mean 'no'?"

ODO: "I mean 'no.' I have nothing I want to say to you."

QUARK: "You’re telling me that after all these years, after all we’ve been through, you’re not even going to say goodbye to me?"

ODO: "That’s right."

Quark stares at him, speechless.

ODO: "Nerys, I’ll be on the runabout. Hhumph."

Instead of exiting right, Odo reaches out and pulls Quark to him. They kiss passionately and begin making out. Quark moans. The audience LOSES their minds screaming loudly and cheering.

Odo releases him, and finally exits to the roundabout. Quark throws his head back and rubs the top of his head, as if he were running his fingers through his hair, to collect himself.

Kira approaches Quark. Quark says something inaudible back (due to continued audience cheering), but it seems to follow the original scene.

KIRA: "Don’t take it too hard, Quark."

Quark sighs.

QUARK: "Listen… that man loves me. Couldn’t you see? It was written all over his… [incredulous tone] his back."

Kira pauses.

KIRA: "He’s not going to leave—"

QUARK: "No!"

KIRA: "—he’s going to go with you!"
