I agree that Kira not realizing this makes her look really stupid for not getting with Odo, though.

I like "Crossfire" as a vehicle for Auberjonois's acting. It left me totally on his side at the end of the episode, and kind of mad at Kira. Stop bonking these boring Bajoran leader dude and go for the goo guy we all like who's right there!

There's an entire internet worth of excruciatingly detailed fanfiction just one Google search away, you know.

I also lent out my season 5 box set to my brother who lost it. I just bugged him about it until he bought me a new one Disc 4 was kind of scratched up anyway, so I came out ahead in the end.

Brooks plays a dear-old dad so goddamn well. Jake and Ben have the best relationship on this show.

I remember watching this with my dad! I'm pretty sure he liked Pee Wee Herman more than I did when I was five. I don't know what this says about him.

Facets is at best tolerable as a vehicle for the cast to have some out-of-character fun. And it's far from the best one of those (cough, Our Man Bashir, cough).

2 middle names probably just means Martin's parents were Irish(-American) Catholic. See: my entire family.

It's hokey, but Sisko giving baseball metaphors to non-linear beings is up there with Darmok in terms of What Star Trek is All About. If you don't like it I question why you like Trek at all.

The writers really liked doing that. The first mention of the Dominion is in a Quark episode, too.
