Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think that was to refer to the other shows listed in the title.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Question from a newbie DS9 watcher: (Good show, btw. It's on the strength of the Buffistas recommendations that I'm giving it a shot, despite my general aversion to all things Trek. It's got appealing characters, a good deal of moral ambiguity, and lots of interesting sociopolitical threads.) I'm watching TiVo'd season 2 eps from last week's SpikeTV marathon, and, err, is there something going on between Odo and Kira? There is a weird vibe, especially from Odo. Subtle bit of pining at least. And my mind is going all, whee! Bajoran/a big blob of jello smut!
I bet there is a lot of badfic.
ETA: Ooops. If DS9 talk is out of bounds here, I'd be happy to drop it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Just a leetle bit. They do go back a ways. How badly do you want to be spoiled?

Well, If you're talking about the episode with the flashback in which they meet--"Necessary Evil", I think--I saw that yesterday. I thought to myself wow, what an interesting friendship these two have. I particularly liked the grayness of the ending.
I'm watching "The Collaborator" at the moment, and just now, Odo totally made a little heartbreak-shock face (that is, as much of a face as he could make) when Kira confessed her love for the Vedek dude.

Ah, DS9. My fave of the new generation Treks; you have some good stuff coming your way. So much arc-y goodness, such great characters and actors, so many different threads to follow through the seasons. (I'll have to queue that up in Netflix for reviewing at some point.) And you are reading the vibe right.
And speaking of Netflix ... I've got more Farscape, I've got more Farscape (tra-la-la-la-la). I'm off to watch it very, very soon. I love having good, unwatched showage. Makes me tingly.

Yup. It really isn't even subtext. Odo's smitten.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
The Gloops? That was one of the first Sealabs I ever saw.
"Hail, Squishface!!!" Loved that episode.
DS9 was the crown jewel of the Treks. I loved TNG at the time (and grew up on TOS), but on re-watch, especially post-ME shows, I find it...lacking. I mean, Patrick Stewart! What's not to love there. But still, DS9 - I can't think of a regular character or actor who I didn't really enjoy at some point, if not always. Even Jake Sisco, who seemed to flounder for a couple of years there, was wonderful because he was basically the anti-Wes (as in Crusher).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DS9 got mystical right off the bat. Even though it took a second or two to get anti-TNG (which I thought I'd loved, but really it was gems I loved) and for Sisko to get properly bald, much props to keeping Bajoran religion so important throughout.
Though the money confuses me (which is really a sign that the universal translator issues have bored me). You go down to Quark's and pay money for food from the same replicator system that you have in your room? His ambience is that good?
