If John Tesh & Christopher Lloyd can be Klingons, then anyone can.

Hertzler understood the Klingon soul. He has the heart of a true warrior, & thus he has a place waiting for him in Sto-vo-kor.

Are you impugning her character by suggesting that she would (or even could) couple with a chaan? That's a scandalous insinuation, not to mention a biologically-improbable one.

Don't you mean dealer? Or is there no difference where you live?

Zabu steak! That's what yamok sauce is slathered upon! I should have known!

JMS is the ideal executive producer that other show runners pretended to be. Chris Carter, JJ Abrams, Tim Kring, Joel Surnow, & many others have put forth the illusion that they are masterful storytellers with a Plan, when it turns out that they really didn't have a rabbit in their hat at all, & were all too willing…

Again, off-screen as an informed trait.

Dax did a good job of getting Kira to come out of her shell. For a Bajoran living under the boot of the Occupation, childhood was short & not very sweet. Kira reacted to her world by picking up a rifle before she could properly lift one. It's only now, on DS9, that she has had time to get in touch with her less…

A masterfully obscure reference. Kudos, RJS.

Oh, gawd, that would have been dire.

And the composer basically pulled it off. It comes off as a bit forced, IMO, but its more than serviceable.

Well, she was getting closer to Sisko, & at some point they got engaged. She could have just spent more time around the Bajoran sector. It's reasonable enough in the show's context, & anyone who's watched the first two seasons of 24 knows that Penny Johnson can handle more screen time.

Everything that Worf tells Wesley about Klingon mating rituals is comedic gold. They really nailed his character in that episode, & it set the tone for him for the next ten years.

Well, they can always replicate replacements. I'll bet Federation officers periodically get cathartic in their quarters & smash up the joint. Post-scarcity economics is great for stress relief.

When Avery Brooks is playing a character, it's always a kind-of-crazy dude.

The Klingon language is full of hyperbolic threats like this. You learn not to take any of it seriously. As long as they're talking, you're fine; it's when a Klingon gets quiet that you need to worry.

A momentary lapse of reason.

Dat Bajoran ass…
