I think this was especially illustrated in "...Different Destinations."
Oooh, yes, that was such a great episode. I will try to concentrate on that when the bitterness comes.
If someone made a good Rygel plush toy, I'd totally buy one.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha, I like that it's described as "lifesize." Doesn't take much.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Oh, yes. That one was just the quintessential anti-Trek episode.
thinking "Star Trek would never have done that."
Well, except for DS9. They never quite went that far, but they came close. The episode where Sisko asks Garrick for help (I'm spacing on the details), and Garrick gets the result Ben wanted, but at a major cost (namely, successfully planting a bomb on a ship), comes to mind.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh, oh, it's the one with the Latin title.

Well, yeah. DS9 was the least Trek-ish of all the Treks. Which is, in part, why Voyager was such a disappointment to me: it felt like the franchise had gone backwards.

Or maybe, not, because the one I'm remembering is "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges", but regardless, cool title.
Written by Ron Moore. If we had only known back then, and hadn't encouraged him.

Especially since the premise of the show was so ripe for internal conflict, and it all got smoothed out in a few episodes. And don't get me started on how quickly 7 of 9 was un-assimilated.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
That DS9 ep, IIRC, is In the Pale Moonlight. The one that ends with Sisko looking at himself in the mirror, saying, "I can live with it," repeating the phrase as his face gets colder and colder. One of the best.
Great, now I want to rewatch DS9.
I would totes buy that Rygel plush toy except 1) he's the wrong colour and 2) it doesn't come with the Throne Sled.

And 3) it's $100. Yikes! For that price, I want an operating Throne Sled.
