Brace yourselves for the YouTube shitstorm

Badger

It will be fine.

Rocky hate Mark

So 2020’s Portland is a sanctuary city with a huge homeless and unemployment problem and civil unrest? Bullshit sci-fi nonsense…

As a fellow wrestling fan, I read that thumbnail text in Michael Cole’s voice, lol.

Comrade Wireless Caller

I find this dual episode almost scary to watch right now. Something about the lockdowns adds to the feeling of 'this could at least theoretically is something that could have occurred recently in our real life as well." They also got so many of the characters right. The burned out social worker who wants to help but can't really do anything. The security officer who feels bad but just wants to be with his family as he knows he can't do anything about such a huge, systemic problem.

Harry Broos

I've always thought this was a D, so I totally thought you guys would like it. Hilarious

Ian Duncan

Oh my goodness, I couldn't agree more with you guys. I hate these episodes ... they are so terribly boring, self-righteous, and preachy. And I felt like I was crazy because everyone else seems to like them. So ... thank you. Unimportant comment: I always took DS9 as a modern-day corrolary to the Yugoslav war, not the Middle East. The Bajorans were the Bosnians and the Cardassians were the Serbs.

If there is one thing you can always count on from YouTube comments it is rational nuanced takes. I look forward to an enlightened discussion over there

Dipper

Apparently not just YouTube, if you scroll up a bit.

Evan Guthrie

I see people making comparisons but not flaming Josh and Alex for their opinions

Target Audience

I’m not educated on international politics or history so “Middle East” was the extent of what I could compare it to 😂💀

Matchstick Jose

“Now, look, good sirs, I have a minor quibble I feel I must sternly address with you regarding one of the theses you are asserting in your videographic essay.”

Purple

These episodes suddenly feel current.

Captkirc

Multiple writers have said the Bosnian and Serbs was indeed their inspiration because it was the conflict of the time in the news

Summer

I dare you, put that on the YouTube comments

Jason: The Lone Geek

I've always enjoyed these episodes, but looking at them with fresh eyes, they're pretty bad. The total lack of nuance really drags them down.

James H

The Human Muppet!

Brent Morris

The Raven character if DS9 is the original version of ECW unfortunately cannot be revealed for Another 2 seasons due to spoiler reasons

Kaleigh

I agree with you guys 100%! Thank you for your honest opinions.

Raphael Gaytan

Alex’s Mighty Mouth impression made me laugh my ass off again! The gift that keeps on giving! 🖖😂

Summer

People who have watched TA for awhile should have known this one would not go well

Target Audience

Some people will watch us for years but still think we will like it if they like it, then be confused when we don’t, despite the episode doing so many things we complain about all the time. It is what it is!

Matchstick Jose

YouTube comment I saw: “I'm here for the insane takes too.” That… really should be on a T-shirt.

Sunny

There’s depressing media that is profound and keeps people from going numb or averting their eyes and then there’s depressing media that makes me think “yup. The world sucks and will continue to suck. Thanks for the reminder.” And I’ve tend to put these episodes in that category. I don’t feel good watching them or like I’ve been challenged to confront something I may know but prefer to avoid. Yeah in the show you know the world gets past it and builds utopia on earth. Maybe in the 90s that felt like a hopeful note. But now? Not so much.

giuseppe scigliano

I enjoyed this episode…. But it warms my heart knowing if they ever get to “New Trek” they’ll see that’s it this on steroids plus bad writing…. REALLY BAD … and they’ll despise it too ❤❤❤

Loot Narsbaar

I was excited two years ago when Sisko was on Earth

Dru Blood

We all knew the streak would end here... We just couldn't say it 😉

Goobabies

Why aren't more people complaining about the terrible guest acting in this one? Did Mugatu spike me with crazy pills?

Crewman #6

Seeing some ripples from the uncut, I waited til watching the edit before responding. Actually yeah. Most of what you said is right. I'll only put it down to a C for myself though. For me it's just fine or Season 1-2 tier. I guess the one thing I don't quite get is how strong and visceral the reaction was. I don't mind myself if the most there is of this 'just fine' 90s TV episode is that it makes people talk or think about it. I think I saw 'No future stays bright forever' in a trailer awhile back. Well. The tail of TNG, DS9 with the Maquis and now the Dominion. Star Trek around here is about fighting to not let things go bad.

Naglfarius

Glad that you brought Past Tense not up in the discussions in the Episodes that came after. I just wanna forget this moment. :)

Tiabeanie Mariabeanie dela Rochambeau Grunkwiz

I’m glad I got a free month of Patreon membership during the Generations premiere so now I can complain here about their opinions on that episode! Just joking! Thanks for the free membership, guys! 🖖

Scarpad’s Domain

Yeah it’s bad well at least BC is, I think the ep is a C but it’s not so much their grades on the ep, it’s their juvenile attitudes, that rub me worse

Reality Strikes

I completely agree with you guys. I don’t like being preached to. In 1994 this didn’t feel like preaching because we didn’t have these kinds of problems then. Watching it for the first time in 2026 I can see how it turned you guys off.

giuseppe scigliano

I never seen this episode as preachy . I seen it through the lenses of “The road to hell is paved with good intentions “ quote . If it was preachy about anything it was about government intervention. and it’s constant pouring endless money in solutions that don’t solve anything If you guys still don’t like the story/plot after looking at it in that lens ….. that’s fine .
