like. yes, the 8ajor and Dominion War stuff on DS9 is the 8read and 8utter of the show, 8ut, damn. Those weird one-offs are wh8t makes Star Trek wh8t it is!!!!!!!! — June
this is one of the few ds9 episodes i enjoy, i have terminal voyager brain
I started Star Trek with DS9 and thought it was a bad episode.
Then I watched some of original series and TNG, and realized it was just a generic Star Trek episode, but it was being compared to the rest of Deep Space 9's writing style which is way way way different
absolutely, I will admit that it's verrrrry slow but on any other star trek it would be a replacement-level one-off episode
it mostly suffers from early episode jank and tbh is indispensable for quarks character
Absolutely. You learn that Quark is, in order, 3) greedy 2) moral deep deep down 1) A MASSIVE COWARD.
(I would also be sobbing and begging the AotW to just forfeit the game and tell everyone in the Gamma Quadrant what a chump I am)
the only real problem that ep has was that the actors didn't have a firm grasp on the roles at the time but even then it's fun and quark's stress is palpable
the worst thing about Move Along Home is that it was filmed concurrently with Birthright I but it ended up being Bashir who got killed off first so he could appear in that episode despite the fact that Dax, the original choice, would have had WAY better chemistry with Data
thank u!!
i generally don't get the vitriol for harmlessly janky early episodes of any given show, i'll take that over the depression of a series not knowing when to end any day (not that ds9 had that problem, just talking in general)
it is certainly a much better episode than Profit And Lace
