Nog hissing while Quark complains about the manners of children made me laugh so hard.
whats the difference between olive oil, sunflower oil and avocado oil????do they just taste different or
avocado oil: SUPER high smoke point (means you can cook with it at higher temps without it getting gross), lots of good fats, high in vitamin E
sunflower oil: higher smoke point than regular old canola, I guess it’s good for some other stuff, too?
olive oil: higher smoke point than sunflower, but lower than avocado, lots of omega-3 and omega-9 which i guess are good, has an interesting history of being controlled by the Italian mafia and often isn’t really what it claims it is. Also this really depends on what kind of olive oil you’re using- extra light olive oil has a smoke point around 468 degrees, but like, extra-virgin olive oil has a smoke point that’s only at 405.
Ira Behr enjoyed writing Q’s line about technobabble, commenting “it was a line we wrote with great glee, because at that point we hated the goddamned technobabble”. (Captains’ Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p 45)
Armin Shimerman enjoyed watching Avery Brooks and John de Lancie film as de Lancie had been playing Q for five years at the time of the episode and “Q-Less” was just the fifth Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode after the pilot “Emissary”. Shimerman commented: “It was interesting to watch the two of them together. It was an interesting dynamic because Avery is the lead and so he has the responsibility and that recognition in himself. Yet John de Lancie came on the set with his own agenda, which is that he has played Q quite often and is very familiar with his end and thought of us sort of as the new kids. We were the regulars, he was the guest star, but he felt like he was the regular and we were the visitors”. de Lancie replied to this: “I love that Armin quote. I think that one of the things I had to be careful about is I couldn’t be so chameleon like as to be a different character just because I was on a different set. I had to carry on in the way that I know works for The Next Generation and carry it into the new show so it would be seamless in a way. There would be kind of a bigness about Q that maybe permeates the tide pool”. (The Deep Space Log Book: A First Season Companion, p. 63)
Being genetically engineered for one purpose makes Tosk a similar species to the Jem'Hadar, which will play a very important role in the later seasons of the series. Also, the cloaking ability used by Tosk is similar to that used by the Jem'Hadar. This suggests the possibility of a relationship between the two. In fact, the script for “The Jem'Hadar” states that the cloak was to be identical to the one in this episode. Indeed, Robert Hewitt Wolfe himself states that “the same people who breed the Tosks as gifts to the hunters, breed the Jem'Hadar as well.” (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
