Alright y’all, here’s one of the most unintentionally funny scenes in DS9.

In “Family Business” Bashir and O’Brien are trying to pick the lock on Quark’s to retrieve their dartboard, all the while Odo and Sisko are making comments like “This is one of Rom’s special security locks.  I’ve never seen anything so convoluted” and “Hmm, a tripartite microsealing mechanism.  That’s going to take a while to get through”.

So those two breaking into the bar and Odo and Sisko being cool with it is amusing enough, but fast forward to season seven’s “Extreme Measures”…

It’s the middle of the night, the bar is closed and O’Brien walks in on Bashir playing darts. O’Brien asks how he got in and Bashir simply replies “The lock’s not that complex”. So back in season three he was just standing there watching O’Brien struggle when he could’ve done it in no time.

I have started watching Deep Space Nine, two episodes in and I already love Captain Sisko. It was rather interesting watching him trying to explain linear time to non-linear beings.

It did hurt watching his interactions with Picard (though his feelings on the matter were absolutely understandable).

Also Nerys  was awesome (she kind of reminds me of Ro Laren, and not just because they’re the same species… it’s probably something to do with the tightly coiled feeling of rage they give off under the sarcastic politeness and initial resistance to authority. Also the eyes, they both have sad eyes).

Dax looks like she’ll be interesting too, especially if I’m right in guessing that the Trill are like a less obnoxious version of the Tok’ra.

Anyway, DS9 looks awesome and I’m already feeling huggy feelings.

Vimes had never got on with any game more complex than darts. Chess in particular had always annoyed him. It was the way the pawns went off and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the kings lounged about doing nothing that always got to him; if only the pans united, maybe talked the rooks around, the whole board could’ve been a republic in a dozen moves.

I’m not absolutely certain of my facts, but I rather fancy it’s Shakespeare—or, if not, it’s some equally brainy lad—who says that it’s always just when a chappie is feeling particularly top-hole, and more than usually braced with things in general that Fate sneaks up behind him with a bit of lead piping.
