"Have you ever heard of the phrase 'Keeping your cards close to your chest'?"

"Why no! Do enlighten me."

"It's a Human idiom. It refers to what one does in a game of Poker, when they want to keep their cards secret, they play them close to their chest so no one else can see the hand they possess."

"Ah, and it's some kind of metaphor for hiding the truth, I take it?"

"And how did you come to the conclusion I was talking of that my dear Mister Garak?"

"My dear doctor, was there ever such a time we didn't discuss this?"

We are so fucking back

Medical team

Doctors(and a nurse!

It's implied the Q Continuum evolved from a humanoid flesh and blood species originally...and it doesn't have to be from a species long gone as of the 24th century since the Q now exist outside of time. This is blowing my mind.

Is it the joined Trill that eventually stumble into omniscience? Or just the symbionts?? Are the Q god worms???

Dax is kind of a jerk

The more I think about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the more I realize that Dax is kind of a jerk.

I started wondering what Dax would act like a few millennia from now and realized that it's just Q.

Q is Dax plus time.

I'm 100% fine with finding out in a decade that the Q Continuum is just the Trill who failed upward long enough.

Guess what I watched for the first time ever today

Kira Nerys

Kira Nerys

Words cannot describe how much I love this image. Look at them. Homosexual👆👆👆🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈

The symbolism of Garak being an assassin who has taken many lives and Bashir forgiving him for it.

Paired with Bashir as a doctor who saves and heals lives and Garak falling in love with him for it.

That soft little “You’re going to leave me?” Quark whimpers after Odo says he’s giving to climb the mountain by himself, they’re so pathetic❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺🥺

Don't get me wrong, Odo totally loves the cat and mouse game he and Quark have, loves that he and Quark get to play around as Lawful officer and Mischievous Criminal. However, I do think that if he ever ended up in some alternate reality where Quark was a goody-two shoes who listens to Odo's rules and stays out of trouble it would for sure be Odo's personal wet-dream :)

Can we talk about how in S3E7 Civil Defense there was literally no reason for Quark to stay with Odo. “This is the safest place on the whole station, I’m staying right here.” bitch you just wanna be with your boyfriend stfu

And omg later in another scene when Odo takes Quark’s phaser away because he might hurt himself and then they have their little heart to heart and Odo tells Quark he’s the most devious Ferengi he’s ever met, and Quark goes genuine for a moment: “Thank you Odo…. that means a lot to me.” And then immediately follows that up by leaning closer to him and asking all softly with puppy dog eyes: “Now, ...Can I have my phaser back?” BRO HE’S ALMOST WHIMPERING THAT LINE OUT ISTG-

I’m begging everyone to go back and re-visit the s1e15 “If Wishes Were Horses” on ds9 because oh my god-

Julian’s whole part in the episode is his crush on Jadzia but there’s a scene early on at like 10 minutes where everyone’s imaginations come to life and the whole scene is with him and imaginary Jadzia waking him up and kissing him and I cannot listen to the way he’s whining and whimpering into the kiss without imagining a garashir situation swap where Garak’s the one who runs his hands through Julian’s hair and kisses him non-stop and being all seductive and eventually pulling Julian down onto the bed-

And then later the real Garak seeing the imaginary Garak and Julian being very flustered meanwhile he’s just a smug old lizard.

I think the reason no-one on DS9 ever tried to make Odo and Quark get along is because the sheer amount of chaos power that they would wield if they'd got along with one another would bring the station to a fiery and destructive end.

I mean you all saw that little moment at the end One Little Ship (S6E14) where Odo was messing with Bashir and O'Brien about their height and Quark just sensed his mischievous energy from across the bar and saddled up next to him to join along the fun and they giggled together about it, those two would ruin countless lives.

Idea that once human movies and tv series becomes accessible to the rest of the universe they immediately have to get re-called and re-regulated by the federation.

Like, the Andorians thought they had sexy romance shows, but then the terrans come along and now you've got angry zhavey's, shreya's, charan's, and thavan's calling in concerned on what their teenagers are watching.

And this especially applies to horror movies, Klingon space gets access to some classics and figure they'll sit around and laugh at the silly human horror. Cut to one Texas Chainsaw Massacre marathon later and now some human captain's are reporting that the Klingons are looking at them weirdly, like they almost seem... nervous of them?

Same thing goes for when Vulcans begin to approach human crewmates to ask how they manage to keep their children away from "The animated blue kanine and the female pink sus scrofa domesticus?"

Ferenginar just has a flatout ban against any and all talent/contest shows. To win profit just for having a talent? For showing good teamwork? Without any cheating or lying? Disgraceful media. (Although they would appreciate the trick of adding a sob backstory to gain more sympathy votes)

I was today years old when I found out that Alexander Siddig and Nana Visitor were once married and had a kid together.

Funniest thing is that the two actors actually married in the ds9 cast never actually were canonically together because their characters were simply too butch and too twink to have chemistry
