Detoxes use Valium so people don’t go into shock.

In Australia GPs prescribe it for anxiety. This was at least a year ago, not sure about now.

Man I’ll tell you, if I popped a Valium for my panic attacks my life would probably fall apart

I haven’t seen it in the wild since I was 20 and that was a long time ago. Pretty great day tho 👍

I swear to Kahless you are watching DS9 at the exact same pace as I am. Every time I see a watch an episode I see a meme from you the next day from it. It’s crazy!

It’s so random too, sometimes I watch 4 episodes in a row, then Kai Winn appears and I need a break

Haha that’s kind of been my cadence too. I had to take a break after the episode where Kai WInn became the pope and the president at the same time. Shes just too much sometimes.

Just so we can sync up, I am on the episode where Gul Dukat and Kira go on an expedition to find the lost prisoner ship. Haha.

Oh, I love when that happens!! It’s so fun and kind of wild. The world is so big, yet so small. It boggles my little mind.

counterpoint: the closeups are meant to be seen as simultaneous, it’s a sort of psuedo slo-mo so you can see each character’s reaction in a fast situation.

Precisely, the grammar of cinema is not 1:1 with real life.

That said, I don’t mind making light of it for meme chuckles.

They have a lot of time to fill in these episodes so I don’t blame them. I like the scenes just for atmosphere, but making fun of them is so easy.

I see a potential here for the long-winded reaction scenes from Indian soap operas. At least then the viewer clearly understands that it’s not meant to be real time.

Always sad when things won’t load here but commenting for engagement.

Sorry, I literally tried everything to get this to work properly. My 1.8mb mp4 was inflated by giphy to 14mb. Too bad we can’t just use imgur links.
