DS9 s4e2 “The Visitor” and ACA s1e5 “Series Acclimation Mil”
By the way, up to episode 5 of Academy is in the clear for meming purposes.
In fairness, they’re both absurdly handsome guys in excellent costumes.
The hair just grew a different direction
They bring back the og costume designer for that academy episode?
Miss the costumes from ds9. Best there ever was.
Unfortunately, it’s not Robert Blackman. Though Avery Plewes seems to have done her homework.
Damn, Jake got the Sexy :3
That they had him still rocking clothes with asymmetrical patterns is the icing on the cake.
Asymmetrical clothing patterns done well are goated anyway.
Grown up Jake really looks like The Sisko.
They should’ve had Tony’s head shaved and pasted on a beard.
That was his look for his last role, oddly enough.
I didn’t join this community for the thirst traps, but here we are.
I mean, it’s still Star Trek. Star Trek has always been horny AF.
To not know how horny ST was is to admit not knowing anything about it’s creator.
Or to realize you were asexual all along
awkwardly raises hand
The casting director now:
(/s Todd is handsome in his own right)
I kinda prefer “The Candyman” Jake
That’s fair. His smokey voice is where he shines best.
What a roller coaster I experienced with “Series Acclimation Mil.” More or less started with an eyeroll and ended with me giddy and pointing at the screen like that Leo meme. It actually made me come around on SAM as a character. I recently watched the final arc of DS9 with this episode’s revelations in mind, and it really enriches things while also making them more complicated. It actually becomes a sort of fitting coda to DS9 (which itself is a show about enriching and also complicating things). Tawny Newsome is a treasure.
I loved ACA and I’m sad that it’s been cancelled.
EDIT to correct Tawny Newsome’s name. Must’ve had The Last Man on Earth on my mind when I wrote it as “Tandy.” That or the Tony Todd/Candyman thing just got in there and
portmandeauportmandeuxNatalie Portman Mountain Dewit got all combined, yeah?Tawny’s character made me cry. Partly the character herself and partly because I know that she must have been so happy to play her. It was lovely to see her and I want more.
I bet Tawny Newsome would be thrilled to hear you say that honestly. She said she wanted to give Captain Sisko and Jake a proper send off and it sounds like she accomplished that!
Thank you for the subtle reminder of what her actual name is lol. I corrected it in the post
Oh I didn’t even notice haha. I always have to look it up because I try to spell it “Tawney Newsom”.
Also, The Last Man on Earth was underrated and I’m sad that it got cancelled! On a cliffhanger no less.
I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job than she did
I didn’t know this til recently but apparently she’s good friends with Cirroc Lofton!
Well put.
ACA?
Academy, I presume.
Yeah i would guess so, but it makes no sense because it’s all in capitals but it’s not an initialism.
Like ENT and VOY.
So STA would be more accurate
It’s mostly Trekcore’s shorthand.
Where I differ is DISCO for Discovery and ACA which they still fully spell out as Academy.
I don’t know what I’m supposed to see in that screenshot
Across the top is the shorthand for each show: TOS, ENT and so on.
But it says academy there, not ACA.
but how?? doesn’t academy take place like 1000 years after Voyager?
It’s a holographic recording of a lecture Jake gave about his dad that’s being watched by the characters. He’s not a living character in academy.
how… convenient.
They should give him a starring role in the next Star Wars movie. Why? I just think it would be funny.
Secret love child of Mace Windu!
