Don't it make your dick bust concrete to be in the same room with two noble, selfless public servants.

Worf: "I raised Alexander."

Did you, Worf? Did you really?

He literally only took care of Alexander for 3 years and then sent him back to his parents again who tried to drop him on Worf because they already felt they couldn't take care of him a like 4 years earlier.

It’s funny how “Future’s End Part 2” is even scarier now with Chakotay and Torres being held up by good ol’ boys. That whole section is pretty superfluous but the shot of the Doctor not giving a poo poo while gunfire goes right through him is great. “Divine intervention is unlikely.”

Due to comments in this thread, I have decided to reevaluate my position on the Ferengi.

What episodes should I watch, aside from The Magnificent Ferengi?

Well I did just rewatch In the Pale Moonlight (ye gods, what a fantastic episode) and it’s got me wanting to attempt an entire DS9 watchthrough.

A monumental task, but I may just try.

Just finished "The Sound of her Voice", and while I can see what they were going for, I feel like the twist at the end doesn't really hold up to scrutiny. I mean, wouldn't it have been obvious the moment anyone looked up the ship in the computer logs? Or when Sisko was filling the other captain in on current events?

Watch it all man. It's a great show.

I like all the Ferengi episodes except Profit and Lace. Watch the whole show but you could also just go watch Bar Association right now.

I forget, is the difference a few days or is it longer? Because if it's only days, it's pretty easy to excuse (ship wasn't recorded as lost yet, she was marooned long enough to have lost track of the date)

I love that despite the marriage being a political stalling tactic they've clearly developed a real relationship offscreen by the second episode in which she appears. It's just so cute when she shows up on DS9 and her and Quark just have a big hug because they're happy to see each other. That second episode has a hilarious ending too.

It's a shame she never showed up after that. It would've been better than having Quark pine for Jadzia.

Grillka seems to be into Quark not really being a relationship type of guy. Which makes sense; she wants to run her own house. Them being friends makes sense as they're both very independent movers and shakers somewhat on the fringe in their societies. It seems like they stay in touch, but it would be in character for both of them to be more into closing the deal or the chase, respectively.

It was kind of weird that shows set after the TNG era went out of their way to show that hologram tech seems to have gotten worse over time. When they aren't flickering randomly, they're dumb as rocks and can apparently be disabled by blinking at them, and that was a flaw that was apparently around for 900 years.

"In the 32nd century tricorders, communicators, and padds have an been integrated into the badge, with a holographic UI!"

Great! Excellent idea of progression! I lo-

"And it's a semitransparent monochrome set of floating that always sits awkwardly in front of you! And there are always flickery projection beams coming out of the badge! You control them by making awkward waving gestures in front of the projection."

Oh. Yeah, great. Love to read a book on that.
