Holy crap this is gold.
“You don’t have to take my word for it” and you didn’t have Levar Burton say it as a reference to Reading Rainbow?
This episode was directed by LeVar so it’s a meta reference.
This is fantastic. Quark is also surprisingly calm about how much latinum he made.
Bravo, I am surprised there were so many 4th wall breaking clips available. Must have taken you forever just to find them.
I want to say they’re from the same episode? They were being interviewed about their experience during some event and instead of doing a voiceover that segues into it being acted out they did this creative choice of acting it out and having the one giving a deposition pause to turn to the camera to tell the bit they’re saying in the interview.
I’m not remembering a lot of the details, but this is the type of thing that made me love DS9. The themes were generally the typical Trek fair, but that show had style. They had the balls to film things differently than other Trek shows and make them really interesting. It was so different but still so Star Trek at its core. It made things feel fresh.
That and the way it was set up, being on a space station that didn’t move meant it felt less like a sector/monster of the week. It accomplished a lot of the same by having the new aliens come to them instead of the other way around as is typical, but it felt different I think because they were stationary. It felt more character-focused, and because they were basically hovering just over Bajor it meant there was a whole planet that was able to affect the show consistently as it grew and changed along with the dynamics of the crew/station, while not really being part of the direct scenery.
All these shots are from the episode Rules of Engagement, where Worf blows up the cloaked vessel that had klingon bodies aboard. The klingons insisted they were alive before Worf fired but an investigation shows they weren’t.
A terrific Ron Canada episode too!
YOU AREN’T PART OF THE TURBO TEAM!
Call me right now please!
I used to be a piece a shit!
I’m so glad they’re getting the attention they deserve. When Q turned me into a turkey sandwich, I was no longer able to work. They helped me get the settlement I deserved from the Federation, who knew that running into Q was a possibility, and did not disclose that risk to me.
Pretty sure I just woke the house up by cackling at your comment. Chefs kiss.
Space OSHA reminds you that any ship that might attract Q should have high visibility DANGEROUS placards prominently displayed before getting underway!
Worf is in the opening scene because he’s trying to sue Picard over that barrel.
