Showing my husband the second episode grilka shows up in

Husband: "I feel like calling them ex-husband and wife isn't right. Their marriage didn't fail. They succeeded at what they wanted to do. They completed that marriage."

Me: "retired husband and wife."

Husband: "Precisely"

This isn’t unique to Star Trek of course, but I do think it’s so funny how the normal amount of time it takes to respond to a comm or a hail from someone else is entirely dependent on whose perspective we’re seeing it from. If someone tries to use their combadge to contact someone else and they don’t respond within 2-3 seconds, that’s immediate cause for alarm. If, however, we’re watching a character who receives a communication from someone else, they’ll often finish up whatever they were doing before responding and no one will be alarmed at all. Or sometimes when our protagonist ship hails another ship, they’ll say “no response” approximately three seconds after sending out the hail. But if another ship hails them, they’ll often have a whole little debate before responding. Obviously this is necessary for pacing (who wants a twenty second pause of complete silence waiting for a response in the middle of a scene), but also it’s just one of those fun, charming things about Star Trek that makes no sense whatsoever.

thinking about the effects of Kira being raised in a refugee camp and never (as far as we know) having a formal education never being addressed on the show properly. she's obviously not a scientist or an engineer but her position as first officer still means that she has to supervise all of the engineers and scientists on ds9 to some degree. and as much as the Starfleet characters are uncomfortable with roughing it and the terrorist tactics Kira still needs to use every once in awhile, i think it's a really underrated idea for Kira to be just as uncomfortable with a lot of the high-concept science thrown around between the Starfleet people. she knows all of the practical stuff she needs to – how to repair essential technology, how to fly ships, how to use weaponry – but i could imagine her being really insecure about not fully understanding the underlying concepts the way everyone in Starfleet does.

anyways, i think Jadzia would pick up on Kira's insecurity eventually and would start giving her secret math lessons to get her up to speed so she can join in on all the Science Talk.
