I want to know what's next in the dominion war. Far Beyond the Stars didn't teach me anything I didn't know already.
Other than "what they look like without makeup" I guess.

Far Beyond the Stars is fantastic and everyone who appeared in the episode gave great performances. It's easily one of the top 5 episodes of DS9.

It is weird how every episode of DS9 had a titular line

Female Changeling: Yes it was me, Odo. I wanted to find out what makes you want to stay with them.

Odo: You played with my emotions. You broke my heart.

Female changeling: We are not solids. We do not have hearts.

Odo: Your heart is the most solid of all; you have a Heart of Stone

Or how every line in Badda Bing Badda Bang was just the characters repeating “Badda Bing Badda Bang” to each other. Avery Brooks really milks the emotion out of that one phrase, over and over.

This was always the worst type of small-talk banter in Star Trek. It's even worse than being forgettable; it's memorably repulsive

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

"Who is that woman with Data?!"

"She's his daughter."

"The Child?!"

"No, that's... that's another thing, Will. She's his The Offspring. Okay?"

"We've tracked the modified shuttle to a class-M planet, Commander."

"Good, Tuvok. Now let's find the Captain and Paris."

(Tuvok and Chakotay beam to the planet and locate two salamander-things.)

"Tuvok... according to this tricorder, that's the Captain and Paris!"

"OK... I'll zap them." (Tuvok zaps the creatuers, stirring their apparent children, who swim away into the swamp.)

"We should leave The Offspring here on the planet, Tuvok."

"Commander... this is the wrong show for that."

"Oh, it's wrong alright. Nothing about this could ever be right in any context."

(Some distance away, a battered and bloody offspring creature crawls across the floor and presses a button. Smash cut to a close-up of the creature's face, pull out to reveal a Brady Bunch style grid of all Star Trek characters ever. The refrain to the song "Too Many Treks!" begins to loop. Fade to black.)

Hi, it's me, actor Jonathan Frakes. Now we had a lot of fun tonight on Star Trek, but you know what's not so fun? Age discrimination. In the Star Trek world Admiral Jameson could still have a rewarding career regardless of age, and his own pride held him back, but some in the real world aren't so fortunate. If you know a senior who wants to work, please, give them a shot. They can be just as productive as a younger worker when trusted with the right role.

Now here on The Next Generation we have about ten episodes to go in our first year. I hope you won't think that we've had "Too Short a Season". Goodnight.
