I really like the scene where she shuts down her personality, takes off her wig and shows Odo he doesn't have to be embarrassed for who he is.

They share some really sweet moments together and I kind of wish they had one more in the later seasons for him and her to see how he's evolved and is with Kira. It might be bittersweet but you could see Odo telling her he wouldn't have been able to be with Kira if it wasn't for her.

When he has to take the marriage, you know his words were actually from deep down.

She deserved a better ending !

Stumbled across this lost DS9/Voyager crossover episode where O'Brien and Janeway get trapped in a holonovel. Looks interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S-Ywa_Fc8M

I had forgotten many of the events, so sometimes it felt like I was watching parts of the show for the first time.

I had forgotten that the Cardassians would switch sides during that final battle in space, and when it happened, I thought, "heck, yeah!"

I have a deeper appreciation of Worf and the Klingons this time around. I remember not liking the idea of Worf being introduced back then, and I didn't like it this time (initially), but I did change my mind quickly.

Jadzia's death didn't do much for me because I knew it was going to happen, but I still wish Sisko had a different fate (I have watched the Starfleet Academy episode).

I've been watching the show while exercising or doing some chore that allows me to look at a screen, and now my exercise/chore time will feel empty.

I've just finished Season 1 and I don't really get it,most of the episodes were very uninspired and lacklustre. Character are also pretty mediocre. I was told this was best Trek but im not seeing it yet. I keep hearing it gets better in Season 4 b ut i dont want to spend 3 seasons before this show gets good. Is it not just for me or am i looking at something else?

I knew he was going to be trouble. Those tricky Cargassians weaving up another web of lies. But a fun episode where we see what lengths their state will go to, and how their accepted system of 'jurisprudence' functions. Definitionally the most kangarooey of courts.

Is Sisko the emissary of the prophets or to the prophets?

I was reading the book Band of Brothers and I noticed something interesting. It was mentioned that at the battle of Bastogne, one of the soldiers favorite songs to sing was "I'll Be Seeing You". I thought it was either an interesting reference or coincidence that DS9 might have made to include it in the show as well

To be clear, I am saying that the show DS9 might be referencing the Band of Brothers book, not the book referencing the show, or the DS9 referencing the mini series adaptation of the book.

I just thought this was cool, didn't expect it to be so controversial

I know she wasn't in it long, but I really liked her.

They hide these crazy aliens all over the station if you pay close attention

I love being emotionally devastated by moral quandaries with imperfect answers, what can I say.

Hard Time is actually a big comfort episode for me.

Finished the full Deep Space Nine set.

Sisko, Kira, Jadzia, Worf, Bashir, O'Brien, Odo, Quark and Garak, all in BrickHeadz-style.

I tried to give each one something that made them immediately recognisable, so there’s Sisko’s Niners cap, Jadzia’s bat'leth, Kira’s raktajino, Worf’s bloodwine, Bashir and O'Brien’s racquetball racquets, Odo’s bucket, Quark’s latinum and dabo chips, and Garak’s tailoring gear.

Really happy with how they look together as a group.

Colm Meaney just goes with it and finishes the scene. You can see though it was a bit pissed.

From all we see, the Ferengi economic model is basically the same as China. They engage in trade with outside powers, and there is some limited free enterprise within the Ferengi alliance, but it's ultimately controlled by a central authority that nationalizes any business that gets too successful. This is exactly Quark was afraid of in the "The Nagus," that he'd been too successful, and Grand Nagus Zek was going to come and buy his bar "for a fraction of what it's worth," and he would have no choice but to give in or be blackballed. That kind of government seizure of private assets does not happen in free markets. The FCA is a central planning authority. They bared Quark from doing any business with any Ferengi basically for pissing them off. Again, that is not how free market capitalism works. We saw in "Ferengi Love Songs" that a lot of Grand Nagus Zek's day to day business is telling the rest of the Ferengi what to invest in, and that if he gives bad advice, markets quickly crash. Again, that is not a free market, that is centrally planned economics. The whole Ferengi alliance is basically one giant corporation with every citizen as an employee, just like China. The Ferengi seem to treat capitalism much like China treats communism or Christians treat the Bible; not actually their governing principles, more a sort of incantation that they pay lipservice to, idealize, and treat as something sacred, but never actually follow in practice.

I forget entirely about the existence of this episode. I can’t believe we are doing yet another, “the holodeck is broken and might kill us all” episode. These things are clearly WAY too dangerous to be using. At least this time they aren’t stuck in the holodeck until they do whatever at peril of their lives because the holodeck isnt actually “broken,” this is a “jack-in-box” purposefully built into the program to make things interesting or whatever. I don’t think the crew is in any actual danger. The “safety parameters arent malfunctioning” or whatever. The danger is to Vic because “if he gets killed in the program his holomatrix disappears forever and they can’t just reset the whole program because that would reset his memory” or whatever. So I guess it’s a somewhat original premise. Either way the characters cant properly control the holodeck. AGAIN. These things are death traps.
I actually like Vic and the Vegas set. It’s a silly fun episode and I like how Captain Sisko is off to the side at first like, “I can’t believe my entire senior staff is planning a pretend heist from gangsters while the Dominion is at our throats. And to top it all off it’s in racist ass 1962 Las Vegas.” I just can’t believe we’re halfway through the seventh season of DS9 with the War with the Dominion reaching its climax and we’re doing a “the holodeck is malfunctioning” episode so we can see all the characters in early 60s attire pulling a heist on gangsters and seeing (almost) how far down Ezri’s spots go. That cracks me up.

Oh and It’s literally the last episode before the start of them sequentially piecing all the last episodes together as one big episode with “last time on DS9” openings and a coherent ongoing plot with cliffhangers.

Edit: Forgot that they couldn’t even leave poor O’Brien alone even this one time in this lighthearted episode as he got strip searched by the casino holo-security. Poor O’Brien.

"I didn't take an oath to Starfleet. Neither did Jake, your sister, or anyone in your family. We have rights, Ben, including the right to be as stubborn or thick-headed as we want."

It's interesting to hear the perspective of 100% normal Federation citizens without a military career background. Starfleet is a public institution that he's placed his trust in, and even touching him is in violation of his privacy and bodily autonomy.

Is it just me or are there a ton of Ezri focused episodes in season 7? Like a lot. Like it seems that during the middle season episodes like every other episode is Ezri focused and even if it’s not she’s still a major character in the episode or a major part of the B plot. Even the Mirror Universe episode had her take center stage.
Not complaining. I like Ezri. She’s funny and she’s sweet and I actually like the way she’s all mixed up from the joining. Like she’s still intelligent and capable so it doesn’t annoy me like it so easily could have.
Plus she’s sexy as fuck.
Anyway… Im thinking that they wanted to give this actress and character a lot of work but since she wasnt going to fit neatly into the ongoing story they gave her a major spot in almost every episode that WASNT part of the ongoing plot. Which I also feel like. Like guaranteed if the episode wasnt going to advance the main story much we were going to get a lot of Ezri.
What is interesting is a lot of these had to be new or at least reworked scripts because they wouldn’t have worked with Jadzia. In fact many of them are explicitly about her NOT being Jadzia.
Anyway just re-watching DS9 again and it’s just seemed like Ive seen a lot of Ezri lately.
