It’s not really a one-liner, unless you count just the first “No” or the final “harumph”, but Odo just refusing to satisfy Quark’s need for respect at the end.

When those Irish people started a fire in the cargo bay and the fire suppression system put it out that drunk guy asks Worf “what if I’d been under that thing?”

I think you could make the assumption that those sexless clone nerds killed them all rather than have sex with them. Probably put them all in pods to harvest their genetic material.

My favorite line delivery just for the voice work is Sisko saying "Battle stations" when he sees the Klingons about to attack DS9.

My answer for 'best line' is always the same. Sulu gets shot up with the fear reducing concoction by Bones in TOS' Wolf In The Fold, and as the drug starts to take effect, Kirk warns about people getting scared. Takei's loopy "With an armload of this stuff, I wouldn't be scared of a suuuuuupernova!" kills me every time.

I'm still a fan of Data's tonal shift in Generations when he tries a drink with his emotion chip on.

Data: "I HATE this! This is awful!"
Guinan: "More?"
Data: "Yes, please."

I had a possibly favorite line delivery in Trek spring up on me last night during Voyager. I can't remember the exact quote, but Paris, Torres, and some character from the Equinox are talking about how Torres ended up with the crew of Voyager.

Tom just says something like, "...and it's been hell ever since."

I got a pretty good laugh out of it, but I don't know why. It felt like something Al Bundy would have said.

I always thought giving Data the emotion chip was the worst idea because Data is so well-played because Brent Spiner is a complete ham and the balance of emotionless android and Spiner's capacity for overacting everything lands just about perfect. You end up with a robotic peformance infused with humanity. Give him the opportunity to intentionally emote though, and it flies off the scale.

It did give Spiner a chance to flex his acting chops more.

Like in First Contact, he tells... Riker I think that he's scared, Riker tells him to turn off his emotion chip for a bit and Data just cocks his head slightly and all the emotion disappears from Spiner's face.

There was a Frakes interview where he said if you catch Spiner on the right day, he can do an entire conversation between Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan with drat accurate impersonations and switching between them seamlessly.

Did Sisko actually cause the death of countless Starfleet, Klingon, Romulans, and Cardassians?

I'm thinking back to The Visitor episode of DS9. The 'death' of Sisko in the very early days of the Dominion/Alpha Quadrant aggression seems to have minimized the Dominion War.

It seems like the Founders are able to use their control of the Klingons to control Alpha Quadrant access to the Gamma quadrant, so the war is completely avoided since there is little chance of anyone from the Alpha side messing with them. There doesn't seem to be a mention of the Dominion War in the alt future. So either it was ended early with little bloodshed or the Klingon-Dominion control of the wormhole allowed them to create a false narrative of a relationship between the two.

Starfleet/Federation seems to be in good shape by the point of Jake and Nog's adulthood decades past Sisko's death.

nine-gear crow posted:

Story reasons being they can hit the reset button on anyone taken over by a changeling where as the neck bugs kill can't be removed without killing the host so anyone who got bugged was a dead person walking.

Bit old, but this is bullshit. It's been how many years in setting and you think they haven't techno-babbled their way into a fix?

Heck, with the Borg schisming into a friendly cooperative and an old school hostile collective that would add another villain to reflect on and parallel with borg victims that were freed, something that's a major plot point that gets ruined in the first season.


I'm guessing Kurtzmann is being hamstrung from someone higher up that believes they can't alter the TNG era series too much outside of depressing fan service appearances because that makes no loving sense otherwise. Also, it fits with Star Trek having increasing amounts of interference from administrative types loving things up as the years go by.

The real answer is this is early season 4 and didn't plan on the war arc yet but yes what you say fits what we see. Klingons get the station because there's no Sisko.

On the season 4 DVD I have they talk about how they wanted to shake things up but didn't know what to do. They talked about blowing up the station/Bajor even. So instead they went with Worf/Klingons.

When did the Klingons get infiltrated?

If it hadn't happened yet by then my assumption was basically that the Klingons effectively blocked up the wormhole. Mined it and surrounded it with a bajillion guns so nothing could come through.
