Dear #Quintis fans....

...to quote a certain someone:

“We’ve been & gotten through worse than this”.

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT...FOR 416 & BEYOND 

Yes, Toby’s “always look on the bright side” attitude & claims that “everything is good/perfect” turned out to be incorrect. And Happy’s “gut feeling” that something might be not good...turned out to be correct. But it’s not her, it’s him. 

Quintis does have “fertility issues” ... to some level. But... I think we all know that with today’s technology and science and medicine... most couples can have their wish/dream of a family... happen. (yes, there are cases, where it is very unlikely or impossible, but most “problems” can be “fixed” with just little help from science...or with some more help from science & technology... even in cases that meant no biological offspring possible merely 50 years ago...)

So... now we will start the next chapter of the Quintis baby story/journey. We turn to science, and technology, and modern medicine. Something, which I think is very fitting solution for a TV show claiming to be about geniuses, who love science. This allows the show (though most likely in a very shallow manner, without really explaining all the science behind fertility treatments and all...) to get help from science in creation of baby Quintis. 

Since we have been told way back before the season started that the baby news will come in season 4...then we know that it’s gonna happen. Maybe it’ll be the science (IVF or some other option...whichever they end up using...which is most suitable for them). And maybe it’ll happen on the first try, or maybe it’ll happen on the third try. Or maybe it’ll not happen thanks to science, but then it happen naturally... who knows. We will have to wait and see. 

Or... maybe this is S3 Cd-baby plot in revese. then it was happy news plot twist first... and sad news/plot twist later. Now it could be the other way: sad news/plot twist first... followed by a twist to the twist happy news later (this is just a fanfic idea... theory...not canon...please don’t read into this) - it turns out Toby read the wrong results... the results were false or someone else’s (there was a mix-up). And they discover that she is expecting a baby... without help from science.... 

IT’S ALMOST TIME FOR BABY QUINTIS! 

...and I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE HOW THE PLOT WAS/IS DONE. IT TURNED OUT WELL. AND I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT EPISODES... 

...AND HUGE KUDOS (AND APPLAUSE FOR SUCH AMAZING WORK... AS ALWAYS TO THE WONDERFUL EDDIE  & JADYN. THAT END SCENE...WOW! EKT & (ALSO) JW WERE SO AMAZING IN IT.  

SEE YOU IN 3 WEEKS...ON FEB 26th... IN EP 417....

AND REMEMBER... 

QUINTIS WILL HAVE A FAMILY (CHILD(REN). WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.

Scorpion 4x16 "Nerd, Wind & Fire" All Sneak Peeks - On Valentine’s Day, Team Scorpion must set aside their romantic plans to help a doctor and pilot trapped inside a helicopter that crashed atop a skyscraper. Also, Toby and Happy wait for news on their fertility results, and Sylvester realizes that he may have feelings for Florence.

[a-beautiful-mind-wf001]

I wonder what lengths Sly would take to protect himself from the Coronavirus. 🤔

[fyeahquintis]

Hell of way to spend Valentine’s Day.

[fyeahfly]

That’s a very clever chemistry joke.

Voyager Post-Show Books Read Order + Rewatch List

I’m lending my Voyager + some TNG books to my mom to read, and I sent her an email with this list that I made.  I thought it might be helpful for other people, (and also it’d be easier for me to find next time) if I posted it online somewhere.

First, it’s also a read order for the major books covering Voyager happenings plus a few TNG books that I also own for the same era.  It’s got all the major Voyager happenings in it, and a few TNG books that are optional, though most play into what’s happening with Voyager.

In reading the books, I found it was helpful to go back and rewatch certain episodes to do things like remember who the minor / guest characters were and their plots when they showed back up, or review some character arcs for the main characters, or just the overarching plots of episodes which the books referenced.  

I also linked to their pages on Memory Alpha for easy referencing, but rewatching is better.  

Unless otherwise marked, suggested episodes below are Voyager episodes.

Any episodes I put a * after I'd say is critical to understanding the book(s), otherwise it's just helpful.  I’m happy to add to this list if anyone has other suggestions.

Voyager - Homecoming - This book deals with the immediate aftermath of Voyager's Endgame (the series finale). This and the next book are a two-parter.  They're good but not great.  The Voyager books get much better starting with the fifth. Rewatch List - Non Sequitur (2x05) Hunters (4x15) Lineage (7x12)   Prophecy (7x14) * Author, Author (7x20) Endgame (the very last episode) *

Voyager - The Farther Shore - Part 2 of the above.

Voyager - Old Wounds - This and the next Voyager book are also a two-parter.  They are... okay.  The Voyager books get a new author after this and then they get really, really, really good. Rewatch List - Tattoo - (2x09) *  Nothing Human (5x08) TNG Journey's End (7x20) (Chakotay's people live on the planet Starfleet is trying to relocate in this TNG episode.)

Voyager - Enemy of My Enemy - Part 2 of the above.

TNG - Death in Winter -  Non-essential for Voyager.  This takes place shortly after the movie Nemesis and deals with Picard having to rebuild the crew.  This is maybe the worst of all the books I've read in this series, but one important thing does happen. Rewatch List - TNG Nemesis (the movie) * Eventually, you're going to want to rewatch the below episodes, I think it'd be useful to watch them before the following books.   TNG - The Best of Both Worlds 1 and 2 (3x26, 4x1) Voyager - The Q and The Grey (3x11) * Voyager - Scorpion Part 1  and 2 (3x26, 4x1)  

TNG - Resistance - Moderately important for future Voyager stuff, skip if you want.  Most rewatch episodes were covered above.

TNG - Q&A -  Honestly, a rewatch list for Q&A would be every single episode with Q in it that hasn’t been touched on.  This is maybe my favorite of the TNG-only books on this list, but it’s not very important for the Voyager list.

Voyager - Full Circle - FIRST HALF ONLY!!! - There's a break in the middle of this book, with a timeskip in between.  ONLY READ THE FIRST HALF at this point if you’re doing an in-order read with TNG books as well.  If you don’t care about anything but explicitly Voyager books, skip down to #12 as Beyer does a good job of explaining what happens in the subsequent books between the two parts of Full Circle. This is also the book where Voyager starts becoming amazing.  The only bad thing about Kirsten Beyer's books is you'll be sad all the rest of the Star Trek books aren't as good as hers.   No watchlist as mostly the first half of the book is wrapping up the storylines from Christine Golden's first four Voyager books. 

TNG - Before Dishonor - This is nearly as much a Voyager book as TNG.  This book is instrumental in understanding everything that happens afterwards.  I won’t get into my opinion about the book itself though because it’s not very flattering.  You probably want to read at least the first and last chapters, the rest is... skippable if you’re not enjoying it. If you haven't rewatched Voyager's The Q and the Grey and Endgame yet, you're really going to want to here.

TNG - Greater Than the Sum - Just started reading this one, I’ll update once I’m done. Yes, I’m reading some of these books very of out of order. :)  *edit* It was an improvement over Before Dishonor, I’d recommend reading as it does bridge into the next books.

TNG/VOY/DS9/More - Destiny Trilogy - (Gods of Night/Mere Mortals/Lost Souls - I bought them all as a collection)  This is a massive crossover event trilogy but next on my to-read list  I do know that characters from TNG, Voyager, DS9, Enterprise, plus Titan (Riker's ship) are all in it. I don't have a rewatch list but I'll make it as I get to reading it. *Edit* OK I’ve finished reading it. My opinion is that you should read this trilogy. Yes, it’s long, but also very worth it.  Probably my favorite non-Voyager books on this list.  There are only a couple of cameos of Voyager characters but they are meaningful, and Seven has a small storyline of her own, as does Tuvok (since he’s on the Titan serving under Riker.) The writing is very good, the story is great, and reading it massively increased my understanding of and investment in a major storyline throughout the rest of the Voyager books.  I also just really, really enjoyed it.  If you don’t want to read anything else not explicitly Voyager, I still rec you read this trilogy. Rewatch List Enterprise: Home (4x03)* Affliction (4x15) & Divergence (4x16)

Okay, now read the second half of Full Circle.  Cry a lot about it. Everything I talk about from here on out is just Voyager.

Unworthy -  The adventure finally re-begins! Rewatch List In The Flesh (5x04) Okay but maybe put off rewatching this episode after the climax of the books. Life Line (6x24) Homestead (7x23) TNG - Darmok (5x02)  (The new Voyager CMO is a Tamarian, though you can put off rewatching this until Acts of Contrition if you really want, the character doesn't get important til then.)

Children of the Storm - No rewatch list.

The Eternal Tide -  My FAVORITE of all the books. Rewatch List- Q2 (7x19) * The Gift (4x02) TNG True Q (6x06)

Protectors -  This and the next two books are their own trilogy, so the below episodes are for all three. Rewatch List - Twisted (2x06) Unity (3x17)   Counterpoint (5x10) Dragon's Teeth (6x07) Unimatrix Zero (6x24) and Part II (7x01) (If you haven't rewatched TNG - Darmok 5x02 yet, do that now)

Acts of Contrition 

Atonement

A Pocket Full of Lies - Watch List - Year of Hell Parts 1 and 2 (4x08 and 09) * Shattered (7x11) *

Architects of Infinity - It’s been a couple of months since my first reads of these two books but I don’t recall any particular episodes jumping out as needed rewatches as I did.  Let me know if you think I’m wrong and I’ll update the list.

To Lose The Earth 

[waterlilyvioletfog]

Top 3 Supernatural Episodes Per Season

Warning: Spoilers below the cut. I am SUPER biased. Take everything I say with a HEALTHY grain of salt. 

Season 1: omg they look like INFANTS

1. “Home” 1x09. This episode is amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing AND it’s super important to the mytharch AND we get Winchester family drama. One of those early instances of “Wow we need to give Jensen Ackles an emmy like yesterday”. Mary turns up and foreshadows like??? so much??

2. “Scarecrow” 1x11. Super creepy, major “The Lottery” vibes, fuck I just. I love it. 

3. “Hell House” 1x17. Close call between this one and “Something Wicked” but in the end, Harry and Ed and all the hilarity that ensues just. *chef’s kiss* 

Honorable Mentions: “Something Wicked”

Season 2:  ugh so many good episodes season 2 is SO good

1. “The Usual Suspects” 2x07. SAM GETS TO BE SO SNARKY IN THIS EPISODE AND I LOOOOVE IT. Also Diana is a bamf. 

2. “Croatoan” 1x09. UGH YASSSSSSS. Close call between this and “In My Time Of Dying”, though

3. “What is And What Should Never Be” 2x20. Look man, I don’t know what to tell you. I’m cheap as all get out. Dean angst? Gimme gimme. Also it has WYNONNA EARP IN IT.  

Honorable Mentions: “In My Time of Dying”, “Nightshifter” 

Season 3:  half of these episodes suck, the other half are perfect heeeelllppp

1. “Bad Day At Black Rock” 3x03. This episode it just hilarious from start to finish. Also, Bela vs. Dean. 

2. “Mystery Spot” 3x11. A double whammy of HILARIOUS and OH FUCK THIS IS DEPRESSING. 

3. “Jus In Bello” 3x12. It was real hard to decide between this and Ghostfacers but ultimately, Nancy Fitzgerald (aka Ella Lopez) and Victor Henrikson are the actual best and deserve all the love ever.  

Honorable Mentions: “Ghostfacers”, “The Kids Are Alright” 

Season 4: Somehow there is only one episode that is not stunningly amazing?? 

1: “On the Head of A Pin” 4x16. Cas becomes a main character and it is AMAZING and oh my god give Jensen ALL the emmys oh and ALSO we finally learn exactly what Sam and Ruby’s “extracurricular activities” entail. Feels like a movie. We get the reveal that the angels are working to break the seals. Anna is also amazing. Why is this episode so beautiful. I’m fucking crying and so is Dean. I could gush for hours. 

2. “It’s a Terrible Life” 4x17. This episode is just a fucking delight. (Am I giving it such a high score on the basis of The Kink’s “Well Respected Man” alone? Maybe. Honestly I SHOULD be putting Rapture here but oh well. I’m biased.) 

3. “Monster Movie” 4x05. It was hard to decide between this “In the Beginning” “Lazarus Rising” “The Rapture” and “Lucifer Rising” (which all deserve all the praise ever) but ugh ugh ugh this episode is ALSO perfect AND I love it a bajillion. It’s in black and white and the guest actress is SO pretty and also I think I’ve already gone into detail about how the MoTW is a Lucifer Parallel. Also Dean says he’s been rehymenated so TRANS!DEAN RIGHTS! 

Honorable Mentions: “In The Beginning” “Lazarus Rising” “Lucifer Rising” “The Rapture” 

Season 5: You want to be sad? You also want to watch really good TV? SEASON FIVE IS WHERE IT’S AT! 

1. “Two Minutes To Midnight” 5x21. I know, I know. I should be putting “Swan Song” here but look,, I am easily bought with the promise of Julian Richings as Death. 

2. “Free To Be You And Me” 5x03. Funny Destiel buddy cop film, Sam gets to be filtered through the eyes of an audience-stand-in in universe, also contains Castiel’s ICONIC line “but today you’re MY little bitch”. 

3. “Dark Side of The Moon” 5x16. Narrowly beats out “My Bloody Valentine”, “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid”, and “The Song Remains The Same”. I am trash for any pieces of Sam and Dean’s childhoods and also this episode gives me SO MUCH material for beating up John with a baseball bat. 

Honorable Mentions: “Swan Song” “My Bloody Valentine” “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” “The Song Remains The Same” “The End” 

Season 6: We Don’t Talk About Season Six. 

1. “The Man Who Would Be King” 6x20. Cas. Destiel. Ow. 

2. “Mommy Dearest” 6x19. Eve! Sam Smith! idk, I just really like it.

3. “Appointment In Samarra” 6x11. As I said, I am easily bought with Julian Richings. Tessa the Reaper!!! Sam stop trying to murder your father. 

Honorable Mentions: “You Can’t Handle The Truth” “My Heart Will Go On” “Weekend At Bobby’s”

Season 7:  Terrible reputation given the fact that it has SO many great episodes. Sera Gamble? You’re mean. 

1. “Slash Fiction” 7x06. Why is this episode so hilarious???? Robbie Thompson starting out with a BANG!

2. “Plucky Pennywhistle’s Magical Menagerie” 7x14. In the total goop of “thick. black. ooze.” of this season, 7x14 is a light in the darkness. Every inkling of joy, of spark, of color, of childishness, all of it, poured out into this one episode, wherein Sam totally loses his cool and I love it. Sam looks so pretty at the end. Dean is simultaneously an actual child and an actual Dad and I love it. 

3. “Out With The Old” 7x16. I love me some levis, man, don’t know what to tell you. It’s just so fun!!

Honorable Mentions: All of Robbie’s episodes, “Hello, Cruel World” “Repo Man” “Reading Is Fundamental” “How To Win Friends And Influence Monsters” 

(The ONLY reason I’m not including TBAI is bc @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs is slowly converting me to hating Megstiel enough to not watch Destiel episodes) 

Season 8: That one season where we admitted that Crowley’s a DICK. 

1. “Hunteri Heroici” 8x08. CAAAAS!!! Also the only episode where anyone watching actually gives a shit about the Sam x Amelia flashbacks. 

2. “LARP And The Real Girl” 8x11. Super fun! CHARLIE RETURNS. Dean is a FUCKING NERD. Sam gets flirted with :) Real close tie between this one and Pac-Man Fever

3. “The Great Escapist” 8x20. Edlund really gave it his all for this last episode. Cas kicks SO much ass. Sam needs to be protected at ALL costs. Kevin ALSO kicks SO much ass. The actor who plays Sweet Pea on Riverdale is here??? Wow.  

Honorable Mentions: “Pac-Man Fever” “As Time Goes By” “Everyone Hates Hitler” “Trial And Error” 

(See note on The Born-Again Identity for why Goodbye Stranger is not on this list. Again, blame @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs )

Season 9: Sam is mad at Dean for not letting him go

1. “First Born” 9x11. No, I will not elaborate. Tim Omundson speaks for himself. There is nothing wrong with this entire episode and if you try to tell me there is I can and will gut you like a fish. 

2. “Heaven Can’t Wait” 9x06. DESTIELLLLLLLLLLLL. 

3. “Do You Believe In Miracles?” 9x23. Wow it’s the first Season Finale to make it to my top 3!! Metatron gets what’s coming, DEAN BECOMES A FUCKING DEMON. 

Honorable Mentions: “Bad Boys” “Mother’s Little Helper” “Alex Annie Alexis Ann” “Meta Fiction”

Season 10:  Dean is mad at Sam for not letting him go

1. “The Executioner’s Song” 10x14. See my comments on “First Born”. 

2. “Angel Heart” 10x20. BRING YOUR DAUGHTER TO WORK DAY. DESTIEL. JIMMY X AMELIA. COOL UNCLE SAMMY. DEAN IS A NERD. DEAN IS CLAIRE’S DAD NOW SORRY NO TAKE BACKS. (also, “blue eyes crying” is just ugh ugh ugh)

3. “The Werther Project” 10x18. SAMWITCH RISE!!!!!!!!!!! 

Honorable Mentions: “Hibbing 911″ “The Prisoner” “The Things We Left Behind” 

Season 11: Ahh, yes. You. Lucifer. Get fucked. 

1. “Don’t Call Me Shurley” 11x20. *slow clap* Robbie Thompson, you have served your country well. 

2. “Red Meat” 11x17. This is gonna sound strange, but this episode is sorta my comfort food?? I’ve watched it literally so many times. I love it. So much. 

3. “The Chitters” 11x19. Nancy Won wrote three episodes for SPN, all in season 11, they are all stellar. Chitters is GAY. She also wrote “Don’t You Forget About Me” and “Thin Lizzie” I’m putting them here so as not to crowd up the Honorable Mentions.

Honorable Mentions: “The Vessel” “Devil In the Details” “We Happy Few” “Baby” “Form And Void” “Into the Mystic” honestly just watch every non-bucklemming episode they are pretty much all amazing. 

Season 12: I WILL DEFEND MARY WITH MY LIFE DON’T @ ME 

1. “The Future” 12x19. DESTIEL. I would die for Kelly. Fetus!Jack. GOODBYE DAGON!! THE MIXTAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. “Who We Are” 12x22. JUST KILL ME WHY DON’T YOU, BOBO?! WE ALL KNOW YOU WANT TO. 

3. “Stuck In the Middle (With You)” 12x12. Destiel love confession!!!!!! Drowley!! Mary will fight everyone willingly!! SAM GETS THE ORANGE JACKET

Honorable Mentions: Every. Single. Non-BL. Episode. Watch. Them. Now. 

Season 13: JAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!! 

1. “Advanced Thanatology” 13x05. *inhales deeply* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Also, Steppenwolf. 

2. “Beat the Devil” 13x21. DICK JOKES GALORE. Also, we must protect Sam at all costs. Gabena is perfect. Samwitch is also perfect. Sabriel is also good. Lucifer can go fuck himself. 

3. “Breakdown” 13x11. It physically pains me not to put “Funeralia” here but alas, I must not show Steve Yockey too much favoritism. Anyways. DONNA!!! DOUG!! CREEPY!!! SAM’S HEART IS WORTH SO MUCH MONEY!! GIVE SAMMY A HUG!!

Honorable Mentions: “The Scorpion And The Frog” “Funeralia” “The Thing” “The Bad Place” “The Big Empty” “Lost And Found” 

Season 14: 

 1. “Moriah” 14x20. Proof that Supernatural will go down in history as ALMIGHTY. GOD IS THE ULTIMATE VILLAIN.

2. “Peace of Mind” 14x15. I still haven’t recovered. Jared must have had literally all the fun in the world. 

3. “Mint Condition” 14x04. Yay!! Very fun!!! (I wanted to put Optimism here, but again, I can’t show Yockey so much favoritism. It’s not my fault! he’s too good!!) 

Honorable Mentions: “Optimism” “Ouroboros” “Unhuman Nature” “Byzantium” “Damaged Goods”

[trillscienceofficer]

breaking down the season to the single episodes reveals a lot more things that I don't like about it but still. overall quality fairly high

4x01-02 "The Way of the Warrior" — don't get me wrong "Scorpion (part 2)" on Voyager is a good episode but if I had to choose one Trek episode that was made to bring onto the show a new character in order to boost ratings this would be IT. It's just so much fun!!

4x03 "The Visitor" — CRYING LIKE A BABY EVERY TIME I WATCH IT this episode is so affecting and well made and Jake loves his dad so much...

4x04 "Hippocratic Oath" — This would've been an interesting one if it weren't for how it ends which sucks majorly (O'Brien why!!)

4x05 "Indiscretion" — I HATE Dukat's ugly mug so much and throughout the episode Kira has to convince him to not kill his own daughter but also. Ziyal!! ETA: absolutely HILARIOUS B-plot of Sisko going to Julian and Jadzia for relationship advice (for a problem that I should mention was pretty much entirely due to Jadzia's big mouth)

4x06 "Rejoined" — idk if I like this episode... lol can you imagine me saying that. Literally this episode changed the course of the last four years of my life I don't know what else to say about it

4x07 "Starship Down" — this episode is so good... I'm glad so many fans now recognize it as such. SO many different relationships are explored in this one, and I don't think I'm exaggerating if I say that to me it represents 90s Trek character writing at its best

4x08 "Little Green Men" — a very very fun one in a season that's chock full of good Ferengi & Quark episodes?? I love this spin on time travel

4x09 "The Sword of Kahless" — Another super fun one. Who's to say that Klingon plots have to be about political intrigue. Also making Kor a recurring character is pretty much a stroke of genius if you ask me

4x10 "Our Man Bashir" — I don't think this episode needs any explanation; Role-play Or Die is such a classic holodeck setup but the extra funny part here is that technically only Julian and Garak are role-playing

4x11 "Homefront", 4x12 "Paradise Lost" — I really like these two episodes even though "Past Tense" in s3 was probably the better mid-season two-parter. It works as a good reminder that the Dominion threat is still looming even if the overarching plot has strayed a bit from that, and it fits within the overall theme of the show when it comes to questioning the Federation's 'utopian' status

4x13 "Crossfire" — I fucking hate this episode. Sorry I don't know how else to qualify it. Odo's niceguyism at its worst, with of one stupidest relationship Kira's ever had just to contrive a reason for Odo to pine for her even more. Quark's presence is genuinely the only thing I save from it.

4x14 "Return To Grace" — Now I would really hate this episode if DS9 had chosen to "redeem" Dukat or w/e but they didn't, and while I'm sorry Kira has to spend more time with him I'm very much not sorry that she shuts him down every time (and manages to bring Ziyal off that ship)

4x15 "Sons of Mogh" — An episode that could've been interesting entirely ruined by the nonsensical finale, much like "Hippocratic Oath". (Also what the hell is this fascination with ritual killing I'll just never know)

4x16 "Bar Association" — Love this episode, kind of getting tired of the memes but w/e it's still a very good episode

4x17 "Accession" — Kinda fucked up episode!! I appreciate it anyway because it reprises the complicated relationship between Kira and Sisko, and Sisko's own feelings about his role as Emissary.

4x18 "Rules of Engagement" — eeh. boring episode tbh. I think other episodes do much better job of bringing Worf into the fabric of the show, this is just forgettable.

4x19 "Hard Time" — 'Mind Prison' as a trope is something that always tickled me and this one episode does it very well (except the mandatory DS9 attitude towards therapy and recovery which is very meh)

4x20 "Shattered Mirror" — Blaze it but I don't really like mirror universe episodes except the first and last ones lol

4x21 "Muse" — The A plot is horrible (poor Jake wtf) but the B plot is the best Lwaxana plot DS9 ever had and I'm crying rn. The Jarring Juxtaposition Of DS9 Plots is a well known phenomenon so

4x22 "For The Cause" — brilliant tbh. What other show would transform a recurring character like Micheal Eddington so thoroughly after his role of 'stickler to Starfleet security in opposition to Odo' had been given to Worf?? all the while continuing the Maquis plot?? and with one hell of a bang too. Plus it gave Kasidy something to do beyond being Sisko's LI (which I don't think the show does enough of tbqh). The only gripe I had with this ep is that the plot works only because the writers... forgot about Jadzia somehow?? idk the first time I watched it it really bothered me but on rewatch I'm mostly just along for the ride

4x23 "To The Death" — One of the rare Jem'Hadar plots that work for me, plus yes alright Weyoun first appearance. But my favorite part is the dialogue Jadzia gets to have while on the Defiant

4x24 "The Quickening" — cryin in the club it's such a nice Julian (&Jadzia) ep

4x25 "Body Parts" — I love both the Quark plot (which is an excellent exploration of his character) and, of course, the 'Kira gets Keiko's baby and gets invited into the O'Brien family' part as well. Really good.

4x26 "Broken Link" — Kind of subdued and claustrophobic but it builds onto the S3 finale and keeps the Dominion plot moving. As far as DS9 finales go, pretty solid (bonus somewhat hilarious detail of Garak attempting genocide for which he gets like six months in prison)

literally is there anything better than ds9 season 4? I don't think so
