Not a chance, my dear. Far too risky a business for my liking.

Are you sure that you're the one proposing slug-o-cola, and it's not being caused by some sort of chip implanted in your brain, or false memories inserted into your mind? Can you even be sure who you are?

Thanks for the link.

Except isn't that kinda drawing attention to how constructed the alien societies are - that they don't have multiple religions of their own, don't have more than a slim few cultures?

Just take the holosuite down for repairs. Or, since Vic's 'sentient', make his place a 'franchise', make patrons exchange latinum for 'dollars' to pay for their holo-drinks, and keep a cut of the profits. At the least, Quark ought to charge rent.

Extraterrestrial? I presume that's a fault of the universal translator…
'Taking' your jobs - oh, it's quite possibly worse than that. You think anyone'd bother to *pay* holo-waiters, when they can just turn them off and reprogram them if the holograms complain?
Something to think about, over a drink or two. Why don't…

Except the Dominion's been pushed back from DS9, and it's now serving as a major Federation base - Bajor's quite probably reneged on its non-aggression pact.

Didn't the TNG reviews have some DS9 chat in their comments? The comments are as much a weekly community gathering as a place for discussion of each episode.
/I know you're not exactly being serious, of course.

Luke sorta treats Artoo like a companion, rather than a tool that happens to be sentient. Which is a nice touch.

CENSORED BY THE CARDASSIAN MINISTRY OF INFORMATION, FOR YOUR BENEFIT.

Maybe some of the episodes with Ro Laren, for some Bajor/Cardassia stuff (and for a more DS9-like character)?
Face of the Enemy, perhaps?

It's interesting seeing the occasional glimpses of cyberpunk that slip into Trek (the replicant O'Brien, the 'net-girls' in A Simple Investigation), even as it mostly retains an earlier concept of artificial intelligence and computing.
I'm not sure if it's entirely fair to call it a 'late-'80s' view, considering Max…

Not to mention, as a Changeling, Odo doesn't necessarily go through the biological shifts associated with adolescence. Changelings don't necessarily have hormones, for instance.

SPOILERS IN THE SAND
The season 7 opening two-parter's subplot about the Bajoran blockade of Derna is one of the last times Bajor seems to even be an independent entity. It's also got some great Kira, and some great Odo/Kira, material.

To be fair, there wasn't really a reason why the writers had to have the safeties disengage - after all, if Julian Bashir, Secret Agent, 'died', that'd probably end the program right there, no? But nah, they wanted to add in a bit more drama.

We got bits and pieces of Kira & Dax's friendship… but only bits and pieces. Certainly not as much as O'Brien & Bashir.

NOT AVAILABLE. PERIOD.
/for the other episode, of course

I've heard stories that he continually asked for pay raises in an effort to get them to fire him, but that they kept accepting - true or false?

For me, it's been kind of an introduction to the TV of the '80s and '90s that I missed out on.
On that note… they ought to review Homicide: Life on the Streets, perhaps NYPD Blue, maybe even ER? The Mary Tyler Moore Show'd probably also be worth reviewing.
Perhaps they don't need to go episode-by-episode, though. …

The title alone suggests the problem. Why was this a story about 'his way', not about Kira? We've known that Odo loves Kira, but couldn't bring himself to take things further. What does Kira think, and why does she decide to take things further herself?
