the tuvok and seven dynamic is so funny because nobody else on voyager knows how to shut up ever it’s always either one thing or the other with these people so you know when seven came along tuvok was like FINALLY thank god. someone who i can sit and contemplate logic puzzles in complete silence with for ten hours straight
*giggling and twirling my hair* omg! No youuuuu get out of the neutral zone
be sisko. wake up. cook a delicious breakfast for your family and pack lunch for your partner. get caught up on unanswered communications on your PADD. have a morally questionable figure become psychosexually obsessed with you, chasing the thrill of corrupting you while also desperately craving to earn the benediction of your approval as a Good Man. add them to the spreadsheet. look into starting a community baseball club. call your dad. schedule senior staff meeting to address the issue of the local bartender being split into good and evil halves due to touching an ancient relic he was trying to sell on space ebay. break up argument between two ambassadors from warring factions on the precipice of nuclear war. give them both a jumja stick. blackmail the evil half of the bartender into letting them have it on the house. add beets to your grocery list. write letter of recommendation for junior staff member. message your favorite worm to get the station gossip while you cook family dinner. go to bed. try your best to interpret prophetic dreams from sacred aliens beyond your understanding. wake up.
actually it's SO funny because every antagonist who ever goes against sisko immediately becomes almost psychosexually obsessed with him. Dukat had several notebooks with little hearts and the name "Gul Dukat Sisko" scribbed in it. eddington compared them to valjean and javert, literature's greatest gaybait. solok wrote dozens of papers about sisko after one (1) sexually charged drunk wrestling match. benjamin sisko makes every man he comes in contact with go loco and that is canon
Don’t forget
for anyone confused—
“Worf (Michael Dorn) was my first love. That voice, Richter 6.5-that forehead-those dark, worried eyes-those ethical problems! The glimpses of Klingon dynastic struggles were like Shakespeare's plays about the kings of England, full of quarrels and treachery and kinfolk at each other's throats-just like a family Christmas. I love that stuff. Worf, caught between two worlds, was a powerful figure, tragic. Being in love with him I thought was safe, until I saw the episode in which Capt. Picard (Patrick Stewart) lives a whole life in 25 minutes, and then the one where he revisits his home and brother in France. Such a strong, sensitive, intelligent man, so short, so bald, so beautiful-well, so I'm a bigamist.” — Ursula K. Le Guin, writing for TV Guide, 1994
it's not that benjamin sisko never did anything wrong in his life it's that the wrong things he did were really really interesting to watch so i don't care
“the elysian kingdom” is so clearly in the style of “holodeck gone wrong” episodes but they had to find some other reason for the plot since the holodeck doesn’t exist yet

Throughout the whole series, root beer is singled out repeatedly as an offensive human beverage.
Who on the staff had in so bad against root beer? What did root beer do to them?
That would be me. Root beer is nasty.
Quark: I know. It's so bubbly and cloying and happy. Garak: Just like the Federation. Quark: But you know what's really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it. Garak: It's insidious. Quark: Just like the Federation.
Now we know!
