Here’s to 50 years…

starbase-yorktown:

Here’s to family in all its shapes and colors

Here’s to peace for all in every time

Here’s to unity in all of life’s variety 

Here’s to courage in the great unknown

Here’s to wonder and curiosity in everything

And here’s to loyalty and faith in all.

But most of all, here’s to 50 more years to come.

This is why I love DS9.  Kai Winn is one of the worst people on the show, unsympathetic, conniving, and evil, and yet the show still takes time to give her nuance and complexity.

most people aren’t as bad or as good as you’d like them to be. most people aren’t bad enough or good enough to make things easy for you.
