[I love Deep Space Nine more but I wish they had used Chief O’Brien and Worf to do more call backs to the Next Generation. Just feels like a lot of missed opportunity not using all that built up past series continuity.]
12 – Far Beyond the Stars “You can deny me all you want but you cannot deny Ben Sisko. He exists. That future, that space station, all those people, they exist in here, in my mind.”
[I name always name my devices after spacecrafts in Star Trek. My gaming computer is named Deep Space 9 because then I have USB-storage devices named after Voyager, Rotarran and Defiant ‘cause they can dock in DS9. And I named my PlayStation 3 as Empok Nor because I rarely use it. I’m glad I won’t run out of names anytime soon.]
You can’t convince me that Quark wasn’t purposefully trying to be annoying during this scene, seeing the particularly upset Kira and knowing the yelling at him is probably among her top ten favorite ways to let off steam. But as soon as she shrugs the interaction off, he immediately respects the line she’s drawn and goes to get her something that he genuinely thinks will help her feel better and then leaves her alone. Quark was a classic anti-hero, folks. There’s no two ways about it.
