Yeah, she was a great choice. Good-looking enough to fit in with the ridiculously telegenic Future People, but also has an easy physicality and solidity that makes her perfectly convincing throwing punches and kicks.

What Dewey tends to do next is "what the last person he spoke to told him to do."

Well, I'm not suggesting that Bashir's services aren't covered by Kasidy's HMO.

If Ezri doesn't have a Tumblr then I don't know anything anymore.

I'm guessing it was because she spent most of her time hauling cargo on a bare-bones freighter while he worked right next to that fully-equipped medical bay with a staff of doctors and nurses who answer directly to him.

It's a shame we never saw him get to Captain or XO it up for more than an episode or two.

As I mentioned above, the Defiant has a recurring conflict between who the plot demands be there and who should actually be there in any kind of actual organization.

Not that I expect Starfleet Command to heed the Prophets the way Sisko does, but I wish that they paid a bit more attention to the fact that these seemingly eternal, semi-omniscient aliens a) seem to wish them (or at least Sisko) well and b) are offering them specific advice about what not to do.

On coffee-coloured skin they show up as a mixture of pumpkin and electric blue.
