O'Brien's face when she says that is great.

I think of Covenant as that episode where Dukat's arc is starting to go off the rails, but before it lands in the bottom of the canyon in a twisted heap of metal.

"I will come to Quark's, and believe me, I will have fun!"
I love how as the scene goes on, Quark keeps changing who he's most afraid of in the room.

SPOILERS
My favorite random Odo/Kira relationship episode is "Shadows and Symbols," where she's setting the blockade against the Romulan ships. There's something adorable in the way he just dutifully tags along like a good boyfriend.  "What would you like to do today, dear?  A suicide mission? Well, no, I don't really…

OUT-OF-CONTEXT SPOILERS
But… a light only shines in the dark, and sometimes innocence is just an excuse for the guilty.

No, I don't think Kira knew he loved her, but from HIS perspective, it's a huge smack in the face. Not that she thinks he's a good friend, but that she drags him into her room to brag about what a good lay she just had, and then drops that line on him.  People (and changelings) can get unreasonably angry when they get…

"Perhaps he asked if they could play "Intendant and Angry Bashir" so much it got annoying."

I forgot about that, too.  Actually, it seems like DS9 focuses more on her just being flamboyant and eccentric and almost completely ignores the fact that she can read everyone's mind. And figuring out that Odo's in love with Kira doesn't exactly require a Betazoid.

I read it as, Kira knows what she would be capable of if she didn't have any regard for others.  She's probably actually seen it on occasion.  She's not scared because of anything she's learned about the Intendant from being in the AU (she's known plenty of villains), it's more of, "Oh shit, it's me without a…

The Intendant's scenes are like the network-TV version of Game of Thrones' "sexposition" scenes.

I really think the only reason there was more than one mirror episode was because they couldn't resist bringing that character back.  They've said that filming the two-Kira scenes was ridiculously time-consuming with the available technology. I suspect if it had been easier she would have turned into the Steve Urkel…

I can only think of one really significant thing we learn about the mirror characters that permanently affects the way I see the prime character: the only person Kira ever admits to being afraid of is the Intendant.

After "You're such a good friend to me" she definitely deserves it. I don't think he thought of himself as alone from the day he met her, until she said that.

Before the discovery of the wormhole, the Bajoran religion was much more faith-based, wasn't it?  As in, they've only recently had concrete proof that their religion talks about real things.  It may have taken a while for the people to come around to the idea of this human suddenly showing up claiming to be the…

I've always wanted to see how that conversation went down.  Sisko and Kira come out of the airlock whistling and walking briskly back to Ops hoping nobody notices them. Bashir goes back to the infirmary pretending he was there all the time.

It seems to me the station belongs to whoever wants to deal with a given problem.  If Sisko doesn't want to get involved, he says, "Sorry, the Bajorans own this station, Starfleet's position on the matter is irrelevant."  I can't remember the episode, but there's one where Sisko and Kira team up to do a kind of good…

Apple phaser can only be reloaded with iAmmo. iAmmo works very well, but is expensive and will tell you what you can and can't shoot at.

This would explain why the weapon spontaneously falls apart the moment Kira starts handling it.  It's not a bug, it's a feature.

That's a really good point, I didn't think about Quark.  He may not have what we'd consider pure motives, but his actions are never too impure.

Maybe I'm just slow on the uptake, but it never occurred to me that Damar was already witness to that scenario.  It makes sense why he's the one who has the wisdom to tell his guys, "I know you hate her, but we need her." He's already seen it work once.
