amateur theater night on deep space nine

#it was jadzia’s idea #bashir discovers stage fright #worf adds a musical number #quark tries to sell merchandise but gets roped into performing #leeta discovers a hitherto unknown acting talent and steals the stage #jake and nog get stuck set painting #… in an COMPLETELY UNRELATED development they later decide to go for a minimalist approach and dispense with sets altogether #kira refuses to participate but falls victim to Jadzia’s wheedling and performs- blushing- in a furious monotone #odo agrees all too easily but gets out of performing by being the props #garak does costumes. Bashir’s pants end up suspiciously tighter than everyone else’s. Garak claims a measuring error. #sisko conveniently finds himself inundated with starfleet paperwork and can’t possibly take part but promises to be in the front row #rom is on lights and sound. it’s universally agreed by the audience that the lights and sound were the best part of the production #okay I’ve run out of ideas now

ST:DS9 2x22 - The Wire

“My father used to say that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. I laid the first stone right there. I’d committed myself. I’d pay any price; go to any lengths because my cause was righteous. My… intentions were good. In the beginning, that seemed like enough.” - Sisko

And I think that people who really liked Deep Space Nine are people who like ambiguity, and like when the characters are not either good or evil, where they are like most of us: they are complicated people with a little bit of each in each of those characters.

Sharing my awesome birthday present..!

Are there any DS9 fans for whom this book isn’t the Most Special Thing?

Of course not.

Why would there be?

weyounded:

Doctor, you’re not intimating that I’m some sort of spy, are you?

Odo: You'd shoot a man in the back?

Garak: Well, it's the safest way, isn't it?

OMFG, I’m reading Fairy Tales in Deep Space and I am DYING FROM LAUGHTER!!

Because:

JB: Look, is the story called ‘Political Assassination in Fairyland’? No, it’s not. It’s called ‘Snow White.’ So please pipe down so I can get on and tell you what happens to Snow White.

EG: Oh, were they fairies?

and:

EG: Excuse me, this is Political Assassination in Fairyland.

- So, let me get this straight. You want me to lie to my commanding officer, violate star fleet regulations and go with you on a mission into the gamma quadrant which will probably get us both killed.

- I’m ready when you are.
