at the edge of forever

I think the reason that I find Hannibal to be such a good show is that I am so used to unsatisfying endings for characters who should have been allowed to be queer. Don’t get me wrong, Hannibal is a great show independently, but when compared to everything else it’s even better. My main fandom is Deep Space Nine - a show that’s producer was overwhelmingly queerphobic and sexist. The main queer pairing that gets shipped in the show is appealing for all the same reasons that hannigraham is - the characters have very different morals and wind up changing each other - but at the end, they go their separate ways and one of them winds up with a woman who he was only put with in the last couple of episodes. After getting my heart broken by queerphobic media, Hannibal put it back together again.

it's worth knowing that Bryan fuller worked on deep space nine and regularly talks about the details of garashir they managed to get onto the show, even fighting the likes of Berman all the way

okay THIS is the post that made me put Hannibal on the “to-watch” list

Imagine choosing “we should stop caring about poor people” as the hill you’re willing to die on. IN FRONT OF THE POPE.

I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that not only is William Shatner a Supernatural fan, he's also incredibly weird about it

I looked this up because I was convinced it couldn’t be real but no William Shatner actually has very strong, very strange opinions on Supernatural

Gay as fuck to be a female starfleet officer. Why are you boldly going where no man has gone before? To look for a woman??

4x04 honestly had such a tng/ds9 vibe to it and I love it. therapy and counselling? a shuttle crash AND a bunch of cadets who have to work together to get off the hell moon they crashed on? some people having new uniforms and some still having old ones? people playing cards in the bar? high politics and diplomacy, a planet (re)joining the federation, some truthful and valid commentary on the federation and its policies? a captain's log? hell yes! plus they actually mentioned cardassia and bajor. and confirmed that saru is still a captain even though he's also the first officer which adds a little bonus reference to kirk and spock in star trek v & vi and I think that's beautiful

She is beautiful and I love her.

She also recently said that JKR’s TERF remarks are fascist. So please, continue to stan a hero.

And she’s a signatory of Jews for Justice for Palestinians, was one of the first people to say ‘fuck’ on British TV, proudly called herself a dyke during a televised Australian citizenship ceremony with their PM, and has been with her partner since 1968.

i think that julian's been mending kukalaka himself his entire life and one day garak points out how shoddy some of the sewing is and offers to patch him up and julian refuses because he is incredibly protective of his teddy bear and He's The Only One That Gets To Mend Him Thank You Very Much

im glad tumblr doesn’t have a verified feature because it means whenever a comany wants their own url they have to snipe somebody elses blog to get it and it always creates such a huge backlash on here that whatever the brand was hoping to accomplish on tumblr becomes impossible due to the unfiltered hostility emanating from the userbase
