the thing that's so fucking funny abt kira and sisko's relationship is she's like look sometimes i need to talk to you as my boss sometimes i need to talk to you as my good pal ben and sometimes i need to talk to you as jesus. and sometimes her boss refuses a request and she goes, please, jesus and he's like. fuck you fine. and then twenty minutes later it's like oh my good pal ben and i are gonna go watch baseball later :) and they never discuss this.
no but can we talk about ds9 & its depiction of black fatherhood on tv in the 90s? in its first 5 minutes it establishes ben and jake's relationship as the most important in the show and never minimizes it. it is beautiful and powerful and we don't talk about it enough!!!
Thank you for bringing Sisko to life. As a black man who came from a completely dysfunctional family, and who had a father who was a terrible man to his wife and children, meeting Sisko literally saved my life. If it weren't for Sisko and the ds9 crew I would have already hanged myself in my room. Sisko made me want to become better and fight for a better future. And if one day I have a wife, kids and be some kind of leader, I want to be as good as Benjamin Sisko. Thank you. I will keep fighting.
Thank you for this. To be honest, my dad had some pretty serious issues too, and my family had more than its share of dysfunction, so I'm glad the character we all created (and it was a massive group effort to bring Sisko to life) helped. It's heartwarming to know that Sisko has become a role model and a bit of a surrogate father for so many people. I know that was Michael's hope and Avery's intention and something we all worked hard to achieve. LLAP.
Does anyone have a photo of Sisko sitting on the floor with Ezri Dax after she joined where she’s standing on her head spiraling and he’s on his stomach like this??
It’s like one of my favorite moments of his n I would be oh so thankful to anyone who has it
