    When I get a chance, I watch a few episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space 9. It wasn't that interesting back in the day, maybe because it focuses more on character development than the scifi/space stuff, but I'm actually kinda into it these days. Anyway, episode 101, which is I think the 5th episode in season 5, is called Looking For Parmach In All The Wrong Places. It's about Quark the Ferengi 'courting' his Klingon ex-wife, which IMO made for a pretty good story. At the same time, there's a side plot of O'Brian and Nerys trying to hide their feelings since he's married and she's carrying his baby! IMO it's a good one to watch even if you're not going in order or watching the rest of them or anything.

    I didn't watch all of DS9 when it was originally on the air (I didn't think it was as interesting as the other Star Trek shows), but I've since watched all of it, and I enjoyed it. I remember this episode.. Also I know the reference to Eddie Murphy as Buckwheat on SNL. :)

    A couple of my favorite episodes of DS9 are "Trials and Tribble-Ations" and "Take Me Out to the Holo-Suite". I also like the episodes in the holo-suite with Vic Fontaine. I'd since learned that the actor who played Vic Fontaine, James Darren, was an actual singer in real-life who sung the same type of music.

    And one of the funny things they did with Vic Fontaine was that in one of the episodes involving the mirror universe, Vic Fontaine happened to be a real human rather than a hologram in the mirror universe.. :P

    I loved seeing the development of Nog from comedy relief sidekick to Jake Sisko to a really engaging, emotional character. His story arc with Vic was great.

    RIP Aron Eisenberg.
