    You can’t really categorize Sisko episodes this easy. Sometimes it’s emotionally compelling war crimes with him, and sometimes it’s fucking baseball.

        Trek has this annoying habit of thinking its viewers need to “take a breather” in the middle of high tension arcs. We don’t.

        (That said i don’t mind take me out at all, even if it is a bit morally childish. Or in the cards, which is a breather ep for the characters)

          in the cards is legitimately one of my favorite DS9 episodes. I always laugh at the end when mr “i want to live forever” starts talkin to Weyoun about his cellular entertainment machine or whatever and Weyoun is actually interested.

      I can’t remember exactly how they described it, but someone on the DS9 documentary said that Avery Brooks spoke like he was performing a jazz concert that only he could hear. He really is hard to predict haha. One of my favorite small moments for Sisko was when Odo came into his office to give a report and Odo starts quietly singing. Sisko gives the slightest glimmer of a smile and starts snapping along with the beat.
