Yeah Culture drones are on both sides of the line between autonomous person and (potentially, if that’s what kind they are) weapon. Plus I was imagining all of the non-offensive things it could do to be useful when I suggested it.

Hmm, a Culture militarized drone might count as a weapon. If there were one that wanted to be my friend and be helpful to me that would probably be the most generally useful weapon possible.

This amuses me because they are (well, were; I haven’t seen them in concert for 20 years but saw them several times back then) a good live band but ‘Gel’ was barely even a radio song for them, much less a hit. ‘Shine,’ ‘December,’ and ‘Heavy’ got the most radio play.

Apparently Marc Alaimo was a bit too much like Gul Dukat and consequently not well loved by the rest of the cast of DS9.
