Li'l Voyager - The Swarm

"Look at all this useless information floating around your buffer: friendships with the crew, relationships with… women? Do they find you attractive?"

Li'l Voyager - The Chute

"I'm only in the mood for good news today, ambassador."

#30DaysofDS9 - Day 29 - Best Nog moment

Yeah, I've gone off script for this one as I can't pick a director and we didn't have a best Nog moment which for me is how proud he is to wear the cadet uniform that Rom got him.

#30daysofDS9 - Day 28 - Best episode writer

Yeah I got cheeky here and drew David Gerrold who of course wrote The Trouble With Tribbles and appears on screen in Trials and Tribble'ations .I couldn't really pinpoint a writer specifically so I drew one who was onscreen ;)

#30DaysofDS9 - Day 27 - Favourite actor

Academy Award winner Louise Fletcher brought such amazing presence to Winn Adami - it always stands out to me because I have such a strong reaction to her which is what you want.

#30DaysofDS9 - Day 26 - Favourite Antagonist

I thought Weyoun added a valuable figurehead to represent the Dominion, especially with Jeffrey Combs compelling performance.

#30DaysofDS9 - Day 25 - Favourite Ship

An odd choice I'm sure but I love the idea of these old Bajoran Raiders sprinkled around the system and I loved it when Kira and Dax resurrected one to fly to Bajor

#30DaysofDS9 - Day 24 - Favourite Bajoran Story

I liked Kai Opaka's story it was unexpected which is often a joy to have happen in a television show. I often wonder when watching that first season what became of Opaka and I wish there was time to revisit her in the last season.

#30DaysofDS9 - Day 23 Favourite Cardassian Story

The liberation of Cardassia I love how the Cardassians start the series as an occupying force and end the series as a liberated but wounded civilisation. Poetic justice? LOL when I first posted this I got quite a few comments screaming about the inequity of 50 years of occupation etc 

I’m not debating that - obviously in a television show it would be hard for them to inflict a fifty-year occupation on Cardassia to “even things up” so exercise chill  ;)

#30DaysofDS9 Day 22 - Favourite Klingon story

Can't go past my TOS Klingons in Blood Oath (though Way of the Warrior is very close) - I love how much DS9 honoured TOS whilst going its own way.

#30DaysofDS9 Day 21 - Best Costume

So it feels wrong amongst so many elaborate gorgeous costumes to pick the plain old starfleet uniform but I think it's a work of art in its simplicity.

#30Daysof DS9 Favourite Relationship

Bashir and O'Brien's friendship is really well handled and a pleasure to watch go from dislike to best friends.

#30daysofDS9 - Day 19 Episode you grew to love...

Love might be a strong word.

#30DaysofDS9 - Day 18 Favourite Story Arc

The start of season 7 when Sisko goes back to Earth and meets Ezri and they all go searching for the Orb and we learn about his mother. I always really loved that as a set up to the finale

#30DaysofDS9 Day 17 - Best Dukat Moment

I'm going to go with Dukat attempting to free the Pah-wraiths from the Fire Caves, it was a great culmination and a nice bookend.

Of course, plenty of people disagreed with this saying it was a travesty how his character was treated.  It’s awesome that people get different stuff from characters - this is just my gut reaction :D

#30DaysofDS9 Day 16 - Best Garak Moment

BASHIR: They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle. GARAK: Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos.

#30DaysofDS9 Day 15 Best Ezri moment

"Odo! Nerys! Julian! It's so good to see you. Worf, we need to talk." I love how Ezri is rushed through her arrival on DS9 mirroring her joining with the Dax symbiote.
