Because racism is still far more prevalent in our society than people like to believe.

How exactly is a episode with a commentary on racism irrelevant?

Martok spinoff series needs to be a thing.

Exactly. Then Picard went and disobeyed orders and got the pretty new flag ship all borg-ified. It was really selfish of him.

The Enterprise E is way too pretty of a ship to have at the front lines of a war. It might get scratched.

Another great thing is just how long they had been planning it. This fulfills more of Sisko's prophecy from Rapture that Bajor must stand alone.

I remember when this aired, the wait for season 6 killed me. I don't see how Zack can manage that voluntarily.

This is absolutely one of my favorite Kira moments. It is one of those small moments that has so many complex things built into it. The politics at work over Bajor's position here are just insane.

I find Voyager a lot more fun to watch if you view it like this; Janeway was an average student at the academy getting probably graduating with a C average but her father was an Admiral so she was able to get a ship but it was given a very simple first mission; go into the badland and capture some Maquis. However, she…

I worked at a movie theater a few years back and John Billingsley was there for the premiere of a movie he was working on, which I can't remember. He is an incredibly nice guy on top of having a successful career outside of Star Trek. I managed to talk to him for a few minutes, tell him I was a fan and I didn't even…

didn't I read something somewhere that they were putting all the episodes up on Startrek.com
I need to look into this.

Yeah, Business as Usual isn't a top tear episode but it does have its fun moments. The Third Man allusion is one of my favorite moments from the entire series.

I actually saw Business as Usual before I had seen The Third Man. The first time I saw The Third Man was in a theater a few years ago and when that scene happened it immediately hit me that the DS9 scene was a reference and I had to hold back a giant laugh.

Definitely read Andrew Robinson's A Stitch in Time if you are jonesing for more Garak. It is a excellent read.

The Weyoun/Dukat relationship is almost as good at the Bashir/O'Brien relationship. We just don't get to see as much of it as we see of Bashir and O'Brien.

Seriously… can we just get some to keep remaking classic movies but with Deep Space Nine characters?

Yeah, it does a really good job of weaving our real history together with Star Trek history.. especially all those times that Trek characters have time traveled into our present.

I think some of my favorite Martok lines come later in the series when he is talking to or about his wife.

As much as I dislike Voyager, if Zack decided to to this with Voyager I would follow along. It would be interesting to see what he has to say.

I always assumed the bit about Garak's claustrophobia was added because Andrew Robinson is actually claustrophobic in real life. I had read that he almost didn't take the role of Garak because the makeup was too confining.
