One of the strangest shots that sometimes extends online is that Star Trek should not be political, with enemies stating that he shows himself as Discovery Focusing on a strong black woman there is some important deviation of franchise standards. Actually, Star Trek has been political from the beginning, and even stars often read connections with real world events in the stories of another world that give life. Case in question: for the Deep space nine The “Dramatis Persoe” episode, the actor of Quark, Armin Shimerman, saw the disturbances of the angels reflected in the tension between Sisko and Kira.
Armin Shimerman & Bajorans
To update you, “Dramatis Persee” is an episode in which the inhabitants of DS9 fall under the telepathic influence of the orbs of an alien race that was extinguished a long time ago. They were extinguished due to a struggle of power, and the telepathic nature of the orbs led, among other things, a similar power struggle between Sisko and Kira. It was a fascinating television, and Armin Shimerman’s eyes, he used Kira’s career in Kira’s career to explore the subjects otherwise delicate of Los Angeles’ disturbances.
The actor said that “he loved this episode” and “that revolution broke out” symbolically through “the conflict between Sisko and Kira, a person who is national and only thinks of his world first.” According to Armin Shimerman, this nationalism was displayed regularly in Los Angeles at that time: “We had our disturbances because the neighborhoods felt that they did not have a good part of the wealth of Los Angeles, and there are the Bajorians because they are fighting because they are not obtaining a Good amount of what they think they deserve. “Here, he refers not only to Kira’s personal struggle, but also to the Bajorians who are rebuilt after their brutal caressian occupation.
Especially in the first days of Deep space nineWe see how Bajor was often caught between a rock and a hard place. Starfleet is in orbit to help the planet reconstruct, but Sisko does not always do things in the way Kira or other Bajoranos would prefer. In “dramatic people”, for example, the conflict begins when Kira wants to stop a ship that suspects smuggling of weapons to the Cardassians and Sisko refuses, both in legality and in principle, to stop a ship without evidence.
Interestingly, Armin Shimerman sees this conflict between the stellar fleet and the Bajorans as symbolic of the conflict between the application of local law and protesters. Those protesters, like Kira, put their world, or at least, their people and their neighborhood, above all other concerns, including laws and law agents that may have very well stifled them. The Quark actor says that this tension is “very intrinsic for the life we live in Los Angeles, so when it is represented on television, sorry for that.”
It seems that Shimerman had the same emotional advance that many of us experience when seeing a good episode of Star Trek. A well -written episode can be frankly therapeutic, helping us to achieve a vision of our neighbor that once we think impossible. Perhaps those empathic advances are why Star Trek: The movie He had such a bold motto: “The human adventure just begins.”
While we always love to listen to the ideas of the great actors of Star Trek, Armin Shimerman’s link of Bajoran nationalists and Los Angeles rioters is really fascinating (as Spock could say). Certainly, many have considered Kira’s people as metaphors for others in the real world, including the Palestinians. The actor DS9 may well be one of the only ones that will associate these aliens with their disturbances from Los Angeles, demonstrating once and for all that there is always something new to learn from episodes of the best walking program ever done.
