SISKO: Phew. I wonder when that happened? JAKE: What? SISKO: When did I start thinking of this Cardassian monstrosity as home? JAKE: I think it happened last Thursday, around 1700 hours. When you took all this stuff out of storage back on Earth.
ID: Two gifs from DS9. The first one shows Weyoun 5 sitting at a table with his hands folded, asking, “Do you think I’m a fool?” The second gif shows Nog and Jake sitting next to each other. Jake frowns and exchanges an unsure look with Nog before they both slighly shake their heads. End ID.
1) Jake/Ziyal is a galaxy brain ship and in a just universe, they would have been a thing. I can see Jake taking her on a cute holosuite date to a baseball game. Alien girls love ancient obscure Earth sports, right?
2) All dressed up in a Bajoran outfit (bought on a shopping trip with Kira) and Cardassian makeup. Her fluffy hair clip is tribble fur– there was that infestation on the station that one time, and certain Promenade merchants and craftspeople… uh… saw a bright side.

Deep Space Nine 1x19: “In the Hands of the Prophets”
Commander Sisko has a conversation with his son about respecting the power of faith, even when you don’t hold it yourself.
When so many science fiction stories depict religion with one shallow brush of “primitive” and inherently at odds with science, I appreciate DS9′s willingness to depict religion in all its complexities.
This episode, for instance, doesn’t shy away from showing the uglier side of religion – Winn’s extremism that causes her and her followers to pull Bajoran children from a multi-species, secular school and proclaim “Bajor for Bajorans.”
Yet Sisko, who has come to respect his second-in-command Kira’s faith as something vital, understands that this extremist side does not negate all the good that the Bajoran faith has brought. And, a grade-A father as always, he explains this to his son without talking down to Jake, knowing that Jake trusts and respects what Sisko has to say – just as Sisko always respects what Jake has to say.
