I tried drawing some Star Trek: DS9 characters while watching the show and quickly realized that it’s really hard to get some ones likeness when you can only look at them for a second or two.
Piller also notes that it had been established in “Emissary” that the Cardassians trashed the station before giving it to the Bajorans, and clearly the most effort would be put into restoring the core facilities we see in every episode, which is a delightfully savvy diegetic explanation for restricting a TV show to a limited number of permanent sets.
You should be reading these wonderful writeups of DS9 episodes. Chock-full of delicious tidbits like the above. Insightful, too.

You know that little gif of Alexander Siddig being manhandled by Avery Brooks? This is the documentary snippet that it’s from. About 6 minutes long. Extremely worth watching, not in the least for the creepiness that is Quark with normal Human teeth. Yeeeeergh.
“Star Trek” is very conservative, there is a conservatism about “Star Trek” that I think “Deep Space Nine” in a sense went against. It defied that conservatism. “Deep Space Nine” was not as black and white as the other “Star Trek” shows. It was different. It was not people in a rocket ship doing one-night stands on a planet to planet to planet, coming in and battling the evil aliens or some kind of monster or whatever. It was a community unto itself on the edge and this is what I loved about the show, every one of the characters on “Deep Space Nine” had a moral dimension about them. Each one of them was in touch with their dark side.

This is how the grown-ups fangirl: all subtle-like.
(Also it is sparkly~~~!)
If you want one too, Lady Yate-Xel makes them~! A+ do recommend~~~!
Paramount signs-off on your design. Four weeks later, they un-approve it.
September: “Your design is approved as is.”
October: “You can’t use the Borg and you can’t start the game on the Saratoga.”
Your game has been in production for almost two years. You fight. You get to keep the Borg, but the Saratoga goes from being the action packed introductory stage to a flashback near the end, and the whole game balance goes down a wormhole.

Entire page is a fascinating little snippet of what it’s like to work on a licensed Star Trek game; in this case, the DS9 game, Crossroads of Time.
Deep Space Drabble: Molly’s Game
Okay. Let’s try a Deep Space Drabble, just for shiggles.
Did you know that Molly and Odo have a little ritual?
