Deep space NINErs (dream team edition)

(and I also put it on a mug)

Niners’ training : DS9 “Take Me out to the Holosuite”

- How can we beat the Logicians? They’re all Vulcans. They’re stronger and faster than any one of us, except for Worf and our genetically enhanced doctor -

SICK moves : DS9 “Take Me Out to the Holosuite”

- The prescribed penalty for the violation is immediate ejection from the game. Rule number four point zero six, subsection a, paragraph four. Look it up, but do it in the stands -

Miles would put scotch in his gum

if you ask me why DS9 is best Star Trek, i’ll probably say “amazing acting, writing and character development, uncommonly dark tone, station as a home/Wild West allegory instead of HERE WE GO IN A SPACESHIP TO sAVE THE DAY, tons of antagonist development AS WELL as protags, linear/continuing storyline, wonderful diverse ensemble cast and actual queer characters”

but I’ll really be thinking “Worf in the baseball game episode.”

Death to the opposition.

a darker and more serious show than the other star treks

what I love so much about Deep Space Nine is that when it took the piss out of itself, it pulled out all the stops. The team’s name is embroidered on their uniforms in the font used for the show’s opening titles and logo. 

And the baseball the team give Sisko at the end, that they’ve all signed? The cast all did sign that and created in-character signatures. Worf’s is just ‘WORF’ and Quark draws ears on his initial Q (although he does not make it into a little cat like Ramona Quimby).

this is the way baseball is meant to be played
