There’s an argument to be made both ways, of course. Hence the poll.
I’m not gonna explain why I am contending that God hates either. If you watched both shows you know why. If you didn’t watch either, well, I’m not sure why you opened the thread.
And of course I don’t mean the real queen of heaven. Pallas Athena doesn’t hate anyone; she’s too cool for that. I mean that mythical old man in the sky with the long white beard.
I’m vaguely aware that Sipowicz was a huge recipient of a massive series of tragedies(never seen NYPD blue, though). What were O’briens? He has a wife, a kid, and a job. Did he suffer massively?
Miles was CONSTANTLY being tortured. Well, not constantly, but pretty much every O’Brien centric episode involved him being sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit and sentenced to death, or having horrific memories forcibly implanted in his mind so he’d become suicidal, or spending time alone with Julian Bashir, or something like that.
I’ll admit to not watching every single Deep Space Nine episode, but I still think that Miles is more or less happy with his life. Again, he has a job, a great wife, a kid, and a good group of people to work with. I’d kill to have Sisko as my boss.
Not only is O’brien the less hated by God, I think he is blessed.
It is. If you were to reword it as a statement, you’d want “God hates him (or her) more” which means we’re looking for the objective case which would be whom.
Who doesn’t like Keiko? Give me their names so I can do the thing with the gizmo.
Keiko is both sweet and cute, with just the right amount of bitchiness. And I still say that she was perfectly aware that Miles and Surrogate!Kira were warm for one another’s forms.
“Whom does God hate more”
The subject of the clause is God; it is God doing the hating. The interrogative pronoun is the direct object. Calls for the accusative case. *Whom *. By contrast the interrogative pronoun in my question to Mika is the subject of the sentence, and so should be the nominative “who.”
Anyone who says different is Czechoslovakian. Next you’ll be placing your full stops outside your quotation marks, and we all know what THAT leads to.
O’Brien. He died in “Visionary”, served 20 years for a crime he did not commit then tried to kill himself in “Hard Time”(although the time served was all in his mind, it was entirely real to him and could not be erased), and Bashir.
I just pulled up the NerdFaq and it says here that you’re supposed to ritually spit when you say Bashir.
:: ritually spits ::
There were maybe four DS9 episodes in which Julian did not do something that merited an open-handed slap across the mouth, and about three dozen in which, had he at some point been brutally beaten by a randomly passing Vulcan, no one would have complained.
S’cuse me! I’m waiting for my pound cake here. I just made a fresh pot of coffee, so would you please drop the grammar lessons and just teleport that yummy cake over here? Thank you.
I don’t recall Garak being in that episode. None of the manipulations Sisko was using to get people to play would have worked on him.
Great ep, though. I especially loved Worf telling Nog to find and kill the Vulcan who was trying to steal home. (Is that the right term?)
How many times must I remind you to TURN ON YOUR DAMN TELEPORT PAD?!?!?!
Everybody knows that it takes fully 2.7182818284590452353602874713527 times more energy to teleport pad-to-site than pad-to-pad. That shit adds up fast.
