"This is Colonel Kira. I came here to kick Romulan Ass and chew this Jumja Stick. And now I'm all out of Jumja Stick. End transmission."

Given what's happened to Worf's wives, brothers, and son, I suspect he's safer that way.

"Two even?!?! Really?"

It's not even the worst episode of the season. *cough* Emperor's New Cloak *cough*

At least he's a lot of what makes The Siege of AR-558 pretty good. That's more than O'Brien gets.

Yep. I felt they could either go big with Dukat Vengance on Sisko Murder! or go anonymous and pointless and have her console go boom like countless other bridge crew, and 18th and Potomac Sisko. Instead, it's a half-hearted mess because they don't know how to quite make it work.

Yes. And if you're going to do it, and give her three full episodes out of the 14 not tied up in either the premiere or finale arcs (plus put her at the center of the mirror episode too), you really ought to actually grow the character, give her a real arc, and actually do something with her. There are so many…

Klingon weddings are whatever the plot needs them to be. Back in "The Emissary / Reunion" it was all about taking the oath together and seemed relatively simple/ DS9 wanted a balls out crazy wedding to make the wedding of two main cast members a comedy event, and so that's what Klingon weddings ended up being.

He certainly considered K'Eyhlar his mate, and used that as the basis for his rite of vengance-ing.

Good old sentimental Worf. "Son? What Son?" "Dead Wife? What dead wife?" "What do you mean I have two of them?"

Field of Fire just seems so darn pointless.

I actually really credit them for that. In Season 2 you see them reconfiguring Jadzia Dax and Bashir after both didn't quite work in S1. Bashir is much less annoying naif, and Dax goes from being quiet super-smart science girl to a much funner, bon vivant Female Riker type. They took characters that weren't working…

Damn it, why couldn't he have replaced Jadzia!?!?

SPOILERS

Hence me talking about Jadzia Dax, and not just Jadzia.

Of course, you kind of get the cast adrift after Dax's death but what actually sets everyone adrift is that Dax's death sets Sisko adrift, and he departs the station leaving everyone else adrift in his wake. these first two episodes. The storylines of the Siskos, Kira and Odo, Worf and the rest, are all completely…

If this results in a video of Avery Brooks as Leslie Knope, I'm kind of on board here.

Ezri could have been the Ann Perkins of DS9?

Credit to Brooks for playing crazy in the desert Sisko and crazy Benny Russell in the asylum completely differently, but both recognizably crazy.

Nah, Picard was perfectly fine with that one. It was Sisko who had no time for that shit with Kurn.
