    It’s a fun meme trend and all, but an insistent little part of my fanboy brain keeps on bothering me to say it; Ketracel White is not actually a drug. It’s merely a metabolite that Jem Hadar were engineered to be unable to make for themselves, so that they would die if they tried to flee the Dominion.

    It’s much like vitamin C is for humans. Humans depend on vitamin C, they die if they can’t get enough of it. But snorting vitamin C is not a particularly pleasant experience. And for creatures that aren’t dependent on vitamin C even less so.

    There, my nerd brain is satisfied. You may continue with the funny memes.
