Now I'm imagining Michael Scott and Admiral Ross, trying to repeat the urban street lingo they were taught by Darryl and Sisko.

"Worf, your son is being babysat by Naomi Wildman's mother."
"Who?"

"Hudson! This little girl, Naomi Wildman, managed to be more interesting, for longer, than any other character on Voyager."

"You Are My Sunshine"?

The fate of the Romulan Government was sealed the day it allowed the gardener named Garak to work on their home world.

We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.

"Kira, why are you making me pull this flesh-colored latex over my face and talk about regenerating?"
"Stop talking, Odo Jake."

Winn!
Kor (if three times is enough).

"Someone to Watch Over Me" is one of my favorites, but not on your list for season 5. (But then again, I really liked Picardo's Doctor, and I'm a sap for those type of stories.)

I thought the writing before that, when he was trying to provoke her, was impressive. Over the top horrible, based on Marrittza acting a part, but it still felt real, that a monster like Darhe'el would actually think that way.

As someone who thinks that the Prophets and the Founders pray to Garak as their god, I love these episodes.

I wonder if the writers were referencing the Germans after each of the World Wars.

"Hey Worf, your son looks a lot like your brother when he was young."

Previous times, Odo had to keep parts of himself hidden from the Link. This is likely the first time that he opened up completely, in order to communicate the strength of his feelings and ideas.

"Admiral Ross, has my punishment started already, or did you enjoy torturing the crowd with that speech? … Sorry, I told Odo I would cut down on the snark."

I mentioned something similar in previous episodes. Kyra and Odo dating didn't feel right, but Kyra/Odo as a mutually supportive couple did. This ending fed into that feeling a lot. They will do the right thing for each other, even though it means they may not see each other again.

If he gets sad enough, he can always learn Quantum Temporal Dynamics at university, and change the Sisko's timeline after Jake changes to Tony Todd.

For all the flaws and the occasional terrible episode, DS9 is my favorite TV series. I've watched it through several times.

Adds some poignancy to Robinson's "A Stitch in Time", having the contrast of Garak remembering his previous glory, to him digging through the desolation of Cardassia in the present.

He's not crying.
The hydrofluoric acid is just a by-product of his helmet's electronics.
