I'm only on Season 2, where Quark is trying to acquire 100k vats of Tulaberry Wine. Miles & miles of DS9 to go :cool:

"You have my word.....you'll never know what hit you."

From Garak, that's creepy.

I also really like the scene in Profit and Loss where Garak threatens Quark in his tailor shop, but I can't find a video of it. Let the IMDB quote-o-rama begin!

Garak: I've been in this business a long time, and I know there's nothing worse than following the wrong trend. Now, you're a smart fellow, with your own inimitable sense of style. Perhaps... you should mention this to your lady friend. I'd hate to see her fall victim to fashion.
Quark: Would you like to explain that?
Garak: She's chosen to associate herself with some rather flamboyant companions. It would be a tragedy if she got in the way, when her friends go out of fashion.

______
Garak: You'd be surprised how detrimental a poor choice of fashion can be. Take this dress: it may be all the rage now, but in a very short time it can become tiresome, an affront to the eyes. Certain people might even think it's objectionable. And then...
[he tears the dress apart]
Garak: ...nothing but rags.

______
Quark: If anyone tries to harm her, they're gonna have to deal with me!
Garak: And what are you going to do? Short-change them at the dabo table?

Just rewatched TNG season 7's little gem Lower Decks

Ten Forward

It's crew evaluations time and Ensign Lavelle is at a table with his friends discussing his belief that Riker, the man deciding his fate across the room, has taken a dislike to him. One of his friends tells him that Riker is from Canada, a trait shared by Lavelle's Grandfather. His friends suggest he should go strike up a conversation with Riker if only to dispell his paranoia. Lavelle gathers himself and crosses the room to the bar where Riker is sitting and attempts to establish a rapport with the Commander using this common Canadian heritage.

Lavelle
Riker

"Good evening sir"

Riker nods to Lavelle and returns to his padd.
A few seconds pass and Lavelle is still standing beside him.

"Something I can do for you?"

"No Sir, I just came to get another drink"

Riker looks at the full glas Lavelle is holding

"Is there something wrong with that one?"

"No, actually I ah...what are you having?"

"Trakian Ale"

"Good choice"
to bartender "I'll have one too"
...
"My Grandfather was Canadian you know?"

"Really?"

"Aren't you one too"

Riker looks confused
"A Grandfather?"

Lavelle laughs nervously and a little forcefully trying to ease the tension
"No, Canadian Sir, Canadian"

"No I grew up in Alaska"

Levelle's face drops
"Oh, well...they both get a lot of snow"

"...yeah"

"It was good talking to you sir"

"Yeah"

*Lavelle hastily exits the room*

Bartender places drink next to Riker. "Your ale Ensign"

Riker...glances up from his pad, shakes his head slightly and smirks.

Picard had a great moment dressing down Ensign Sito in that ep

I'd love to dress down Ensign Sito.

I always really liked Lower Decks and thought it was one of the best episodes of the final season. Conceptually it was probably a case of "oh we've never done an episode from the POV of the redshirts", but I still think it was really well written. It was also another one of those episodes that made you appreciate what a great character Picard was. He acts like an asshole toward Sito, but it turns out he was the one who requested she be stationed on the Enterprise because he wanted to make sure she got a second chance.

Watched a DS9 season 2 ep today called The Wire. It's a Garak based episode where his anti-torture implant breaks down & we get to see some serious Garak based character development.

Andrew Robinson does an absolute materclass in this episode, as with any others he's in tbh.

Couldn't agree more, you should try a Garak only episodes run through of DS9.

Agree with ye, I loved the reveal that after nearly making her cry with that very harsh bawling out, it turned out Picard was the reason she made it on board Enterprise in the first place.

There was also something very genuine and unforced about the way Worf was almost protective of her but also encouraged her to become more confident and assertive - a real mentor.

There were plans to bring Sito back in a DS9 episode where it would be discovered that she didn't die but was taken prisoner by the Cardassians. The reflex reaction is to think they should have brought her back as she was such a brilliant character but I'm glad they didn't as much of the power and resonance that episode holds is because of her ultimate fate. It sticks in the mind long after the episode has finished which is one thing all the truly exceptional episodes of Star Trek do.

DS9's "The Visitor" was a brilliant episode:

Poor old Jake (played by the great Tony Todd who amongst others was also Kurn, Worf's brother)

This always gets me too (TNG The Inner Light):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia1CISaKnzo

That and DS9's "In the Pale Moonlight" (linked to earlier) were 3 of the best episodes of the entire franchise in my opinion

Smiles35

I'm sure their are many but the ones I really enjoyed were the ones with Nog and Jake.

The 'self-sealing stem bolt' one and another one where Nog and Jake are trying to get a baseball card for Sisco and start trading all around the station to get it.

Just watched the Season 2 DS9 finale "The Jem Hadar", & the Season 3 two part continuation of it "The Search". Ah yes, DS9 really begins to hit its stride from here on out.

From small mumblings of "The Dominion" in earyl season 2, with the Ferengi trying to open up trade negotiations with them, & a mention of 'a Domion' in one or two eps that are meant to give a sense of foreboding...to the destruction of the USS Odyssey & a real change in direction for the series.

It gets real good from here on in. Also for this fan, "The Search" made new hellos to an old friend, namely, this beauty



That ship is so bad-ass its just ridiculous :cool:

I remember seeing the Defiant firing it's phasers for the first time. Was brilliant. So different then any ship we'd seen from Starfleet before, and really worked for the series.

Tough little ship

Little??

FGR

Did the Defiant originally use photon torpedoes or did it always have quantum torpedoes?

Also! Although originally designed to fight the Borg threat was the Defiant originally kitted out with improved shielding which could withstand the Dominion's weaponry or did that come afterwards?

downwithpeace

I think it was designed with both, quantum as main with secondary photon.

FGR

I miss those moments when you'd see a new ship. Very much like the introduction of the Defiant or the Sovereign class or the USS Prometheus.

Imagine what would have happened if Enterprise took place post Nemesis. It would have been great.

downwithpeace

USS Prometheus technical porn.

Myrddin

The best introduction was without doubt the refit 1701 in drydock. Goosebump city.

helimachoptor

Generally its one of the best things with space ships.

Nothing beats a long sweeping view of a new ship.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

I dunno, that scene was great (mainly because of garak) and all but it kinda illustrates part of what annoys me about trek

it's so... self congratulatory

"Oh yeah isn't the federation amazing. we're so much better than everyone else, look at us..we don't even use money and do stuff just to better ourselves. stupid other races, they say they're happy but they're obviously just totes jelly"


also root beer does not grow on you.. it's ****ing disgusting.

Only to a point. What I always took from it is that Humans, in the right conditions, are a fantastic race who're open minded with a thirst for knowledge/exploration that will take them to new places and levels of existence.
But the flipside of the above is that Humans in the wrong conditions are violent, close minded, greedy etc. as per the below (posted it earlier in this thread but it's worth reviewing in light of your comment.

From the "Scotty" episode "Relics".

Scotty's feeling sorry for himself and has gone off to the holodeck to recreate the old Enterprise bridge,with a bottle of green liquor he got in Ten forward.

Picard shows up and Scotty offers him a drink.

Scotty: Would you have a drink with me captain? I don't know what it is but I'd be real careful...

Picard downs glass in one go

Picard: Aldeveran whiskey. Who do you think gave it to Guinan?
