When I first took command of this post, all I wanted was to be somewhere else, anywhere but here. But now five years later this has become my home, and you have become my family. And leaving this station, leaving you, is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. (…) And I promise, I will not rest until I stand with you again here, in this place where I belong.
Benjamin Sisko, Call to Arms
I was hoping you’d say that.
Not the best possible line you could get to “I wanna go out with you.”
It’d been a while since Worf had gotten a “they are without honor!” line.
But still mounting pressure on Starfleet as the Romulans, the Miradorn and the Tholians have now all signed non-aggression pacts with the Dominion (although non-novelverse Tholians in the 24th Century have only been mentioned in passing so we really don’t know their strength, and the Miradorn have only been seen once in S1 of DS9 and haven’t been seen or heard of since…, still a nice bit of callback.
Look at this well rounded family.
love how this ep shifts from “aww Sisko’s gonna conduct this little wedding ceremony” to the Dominion Convoy airhorning it’s way through the wormhole precipitating events all before the opening credits.
I have to have a person-to-person interaction with a person I now deeply respect when all I can think about is how bad our initial conversations were about Ferengi Values? And I keep butting up against those values right now and you want me to talk to him now??! NOW, NOW?!?!
