2026-10-07 05:00 I should be going to bed but when it comes to Jen’s Star Trek reactions. It’s worth staying up late to watch them 🔥🖖

Engage! indeed. I held off watching part one so I could watch it together with part two.

William Rosmer

Quark out logiced a vulcan. that deserves massive respect

jon bolton

Thank you Jen for saving me with a really good episode i've been looking forward to. Earlier i sat through Masks once again on Target Audience patreon lol only a month after seeing it here...yes i know your TNG this week isn't much better, but that's not your fault.

The_Truth

Gul Dukat is played by Marc Alaimo, he was also in The Next Generation episode Times Arrow when Data got transported back to San Francisco in the 1800s, he was the Poker card shark that Data played poker with, he was also Gul Macet, in the 1991 TNG episode, "The Wounded"

William Rosmer

he was also one of the romulans in the first season finale and another different alien in a i think s2 episode.

Rob Nichols

The large Cardasian is played by John Shuck, the Klingon ambassador in the Trek movies 3, 4 and 6.

William Rosmer

honestly the advice you said early is good for every non human character, not just quark. their cultural norms are not always the same as ours and their viewpoints are shaped significantly by that.

jon bolton

Sorry Jen, no spoilers from me about the things you wondered about you'll have to watch and find out, except i really don't think you would like to be a female Ferengi.😂😂😂

jon bolton

The Ferengi's reasoning was logical.

jon bolton

I almost did the same, but i was bored last Sunday and wanted some Marquis fun with seeing Jen's reaction.

Ian

Been looking forward to this one all week . Engage 🖖

jon bolton

Come on, assuming you are in the UK too...it's not even 4am yet, where's your sense of adventure? Do the likes of Jim Kirk, or Jean Luc Picard care about time? What about Ben Sisko on Bajoran time, he is on a 26 hour day. (Sorry, Dylan forgive my weird sense of humour, i couldn't resist, just my way of saying i'm a night owl).😋

Desmond

I like how Admiral Nechayev isn't any easier for Sisko to deal with than Picard.

jon bolton

If anything i think she liked Picard more, but then Sisko didn't provide her favourite snacks.

Desmond

He's also in Total Recall. One of the security people on Mars. (Marc Alaimo, I mean)

Opti_Frog

The scene with Quark and Sakonna is so well written and wonderful. Sure, Quark does the heavy lifting but the fact that Sakonna has kind of a mini-crush on him is so endearing, and she does a lot with a little. I think she may be one of my favourite Vulcans.

Lee

Of course DS9 has a set of rules -- Odo's presence as chief of security is proof of that -- but Quark has one advantage that no other rule-breaker in the show possesses: the plot armor that comes with being a regular cast member. It doesn't explain how he faced no apparent consequences for helping the Trill renegade Verad invade the station and nearly steal the Dax symbiont from Jadzia, which would have killed her (2.04 "Invasive Procedures"), but it keeps the character on the show.

Sykonee

Seeing Dukat get served a big ol' slice of humble pie regarding how his government was willing to sell him out, and how Marc plays it... yeah, it's definitely a highlight among many.

Summer

Watching with someone (especially if they are Jen or maybe 2/3 other reactors) is better than watching alone. This is a good episode

Joe Pail

Jen watching the pilot episode: "This is not what I was expecting for theme... I'm gonna need to hear that theme again." It's so cute and sweet hearing her humming it half a year later. 🥰

Lee R.

This was a great 2-parter! Gives you a taste of what DS9 can be with the story telling, acting, and thought provoking morality, can't wait for more!

scott osborne

the end you say no no its only just begun

Bobby Coolbreeze

Jen you hit it right on the Cardassian forehead with their hubris. It’s actually sad as we will see someday. Dukat is masterful throughout the series. He almost makes you like him. Such a compelling character who could be thoughtful and evil at the same time.

Joel

DS9 is legally under the jurisdiction of the Bajoran government, administered by the Federation, so essentially the decision makers on board the station would be the trio of Odo, Sisko, and Kira, aside from situations that would require them to appeal to a superior officer, or if they received explicit instructions

Christian Rennie

Things are starting to ramp up! Can't wait for more reactions. When this was airing originally we were blessed with so many great Sci-Fi shows. TNG, DS9, and upcoming Voyager with Babylon 5 too. It is funny how many actors from B5 are in each of those shows. Watching this episode, I was reminded how many actors were in both shows. I watched all of them and it was tough to see them all sometimes, but I feel lucky that if I missed one episode, there was a rerun later in the week or later on that night. I hope you get to Babylon 5, eventually. I feel like because it was also running at the same time as these shows, if you watch it too you will be getting the full effect of what we had back in the 90s as a sci-fi nerd.😅

Michael Jung

I think it's interesting that ANY Star Trek species can justify good, bad, or neutral actions using their culture's unique mindset. Vulcans (typically seen as "good guys") can logically rationalize smuggling guns and potentially starting a war. A Ferengi (often characterized as greedy opportunists) can argue for peace using an economical perspective. No character is inherently good or bad because of their alien heritage -- instead, their personal morality (or lack thereof) is explained through their species' defining traits.

Chris Biebel

"I think Gul Dukat might be the most interesting character on the show." Uh, Garak might want to have a word with you...😉 I have to agree with the others who say this is where things take off, not because of the Maquis but because of the writing of the episodes. The next two are really good. That's all I'm saying. No homework needed for the one. She's already done that.

Clay F

Was there any way for Sisko to disable his former friend's ship and capture his former friend?

Preaching to the Horse's Mouth

My take on Quark in case you find it helpful, J: Star Trek has spent many seasons up until now training us to think of alien species as being defined by one or two exaggerated characteristics. Vulcans are logical and supremely honourable, Ferengi are greedy assholes etc. But now in these middle years of this generation of Trek they start to really introduce some grey areas into this idea. We meet Vulcans that are a little bit more assholes, Ferengi that are a little more honourable and so on. So it's only natural for you (us) to be a little bit confused at this point. It's part of what makes this era of Trek so interesting, it makes us start to question our in-universe ideas of what we thought we knew Also this is one area where I find it helpful to take a more outside the ST universe (tv logic) view. 1) Quark doesn't face much in the way of accountability because he's on our team and we need him around. He's very much a product of the era of tv he was written for, unlike nowadays where the schtick for most shows is that every single action has consequences. That was much less the case back when this era of Trek was written. 2) As long as he does something to redeem himself like he does here with Sakona, convincing her to give up the info, or when he aids in Odo's rescue back in Invasive Procedures, then that's supposed to be enough for us as the audience to forgive him and move on. Again, very much the way tv was written back then. All of that to say that to my mind it's perfectly ok for us to use the "because it's on tv" reasoning whenever we can't square something in-universe. Quark's ability to meet people where they are is actually pretty impressive. His discussion with Sakona in the brig is just really well written and very satisfying to watch. As always, can't wait for the next one, J🖖
