There’s a thing. It could kill everyone. We gotta stop it. There’s this guy San from the mirror universe. He died though. But he’s not dead. He’s got the thing. But we killed him. They blew up the thing.

Hey here’s Jamie Lee Curtis.

Oh good. They killed the annoying cyborg.
February 8, 2025 at 8:20 AM
Having a Deltan on the team was an interesting idea. So they killed her off.

An Irish Vulcan. Every planet has an Ireland.

A Cheronian!

Alright. Let’s see what all the hubbub was about. Time to watch #Section31

S1E7: Dax

We get a courtroom episode, because Star Trek, where Judge Rishon Uxbridge has to decided if Jadzia can be extradited to go on trial for a murder Curzon may have committed. Turns out he didn’t murder anybody but he did bang his buddy’s wife. So that’s awkward.

The station has been having power fluctuations and now it’s being sucked into the wormhole. They figure out that one of the objects Vash was auctioning was the culprit. They beam it off the station and it turns into a big stingray thing and flies into the wormhole. This episode is terrible.

Sisko handles Q the way everyone should’ve always handled Q: he punches him in the face

She’s brought a bunch of items back from the Gamma quadrant. She gives Quark an earjob to get him to set up an auction to sell them.

Riveting stuff so far.
December 9, 2024 at 8:58 AM
Q is also here. Vash is well and truly sick of his horseshit.

S1E6: Q-Less

Speaking of random TNG characters swinging by DS9 for no good reason, here’s Vash!

Oh shit! Cylons!

A dabo girl named Sarda complains to Sisko that Quark has been sexually harassing her. Apparently Quark has sexual harassment included in the employment contracts.

I really wanna like Quark but it’s stuff like this that makes it hard to. He’s such a fuckin’ cad.

S1E5: Captive Persuit

We have our first visitor from the Gamma Quadrant. He is Tosk.

Kira figures out that this guy had something to do with the creation of the virus so she kidnaps him and infects him with it to force him to help come up with an antidote. Not the most morally sound solution but it works.
December 8, 2024 at 2:52 PM
Bashir figures out that the virus was created by the Bajorans to try to sabotage the Cardassians. So to get back at the warlords who’ve been committing genocide against their people, Bajorans came up with a wacky virus that makes people talk funny. That’ll show ‘em.
December 8, 2024 at 2:38 PM
Everyone on the station starts catching the aphasia disease. This guy really wants to leave. He doesn’t want to get sick because he’s a member of Foghat and he needs to be able to get the lyrics to Slow Ride right.

S1E4: Babel

O’Brien is talking complete nonsense and no one can understand him. But it turns out he’s just Irish and that’s normal.
December 8, 2024 at 2:21 PM
Bashir figures out that the guy Odo supposedly killed was actually a clone of the guy Odo supposedly killed who was killed by the guy Odo supposedly killed. Odo arrests the guy Odo supposedly killed for killing the clone of the guy Odo supposedly killed.
December 8, 2024 at 2:14 PM
Keiko decides to start a school for the children on the station. Rom has to be convinced that Nog should go to school.

Rom is just like any other Ferengi here. He hasn’t developed his lovable dumb guy personality yet.
December 8, 2024 at 2:11 PM
This is the beginning of the Jake & Nog friendship. They bond over a love of ruining random people’s day.
