As the sedative begins to take effect, the chair shifts to a horizontal position and O'Brien once again proclaims his Federation citizenship, the defiance of his original statement all but gone this time. One of the soldiers clips a sample of O'Brien's hair while the other uses a pair of pliers to remove one of his molars.

Bashir sees what she is getting at, but he refuses to believe it. Furthermore, however, Kira has verified via command logs that O'Brien was in the locker minutes before the beam-out took place; his voiceprint is even logged in the computer. Frustrated, Bashir wonders why anyone would steal photon warheads. Kira points out that a Maquis raider stole photon launchers from a Bolian freighter only two weeks ago – launchers, but no warheads. They only find more questions as they dig deeper, such as how the Cardassians found out O'Brien was carrying the warheads and who in the Maquis he could have been giving them to.

Surprisingly, a few moments of unexpected humor finds its way into the darkness of the trial when Kovat, O'Brien's Cardassian defense attorney (Fritz Weaver), exhibits an ironic role of uselessness to the client but dedicated service to the state.

Who plays the con artist in DS9?

Even by early DS9 standards, this is a doofy episode. That's actor Chris Sarandon up there, and if you recognize him, it's probably from his work in great movies like Dog Day Afternoon or, more likely, The Princess Bride. Here, he plays some rando con artist who acquires a device that controls luck...or something like that. He starts a casino-type place that hurts Quark's business, which in turn leads Quark to set up a racquetball match between Bashir and O'Brien, which is also affected by this luck device, which has now been replicated and enlarged by con artist casino-man. Got all that? No? Well, it doesn't play any better on screen, either.

What is the best part of Bashir and O'Brien?

Trivial Note - Bashir and O'Brien's racquetball rivalry is easily the best part of the episode (the outfits they wear while they play aren't, however.) This was meant to be a recurring part of their friendship, but the futuristic racquetball set was too costly, so racquetball became darts in future episodes. Decisions like these are why Hollywood producers get paid the big bucks, people.

What episode does Bashir mistook a pre-ganglionic fiber for a post-ganglionic?

Trivial Note - In season one's "Q-Less", Bashir tells a woman he's flirting with why he finished second in his class at Starfleet Medical instead of first. He mistook a pre-ganglionic fiber for a post-ganglionic nerve. The writers thought these things were similar because they sorta sound similar, but really they are nothing alike and no medical student would ever confuse them. This episode implies that Bashir erred on purpose to explain away the prior line to audience members who actually know what those medical terms mean. Season five's "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?" firmly establishes that Bashir did err on purpose, for reasons the writers hadn't yet thought of.

Why did Ira Steven Behr leave the Next Generation?

Behr wrote for The Next Generation during season three of that series, but left afterward because he didn't like writing for characters who weren't allowed to conflict with one another (one of Gene Roddenberry's stupid, leftover rules from the rough early days of that show).

Who plays Bashir in Game of Thrones?

Trivial Note - Not to pick on him, but this was the second of two episodes to be directed by Alexander Siddig, who plays Dr. Bashir (and who recently appeared on Game of Thrones as Prince Doran Martell). He and Armin Shimerman wanted to take a supposedly funny concept and push it into more serious territory. The producers wanted the episode to be a complete farce. It ended up being a farce, in all the wrong ways.

Is DS9 a Next Generation story?

Trivial Note - This, like many of DS9 's dregs, was originally a Next Generation story, although season six was long past when that practice had largely stopped. Why did this one get produced four years after TNG went off the air? Because it was produced for that show, too, as the season seven episode "Firstborn", featuring a time-traveling Alexander confronting Worf. That episode was better. Much better.

Is Deep Space Nine the strongest Star Trek series?

In my opinion, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is the overall strongest Trek series, and I don't think it's close. Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation were great, but inconsistent, a problem which has plagued the franchise as a whole. DS9 overcame the consistency bug as much as any Trek show ever has and gave the franchise several of its greatest characters and storylines. The show also was one of the first series of any kind to embrace serialized storytelling, which has come to dominate the television landscape. The Paramount executives originally wanted the Dominion storyline to last through one two-part episode. The show ended up stretching that tale out over five seasons. That kind of thing may seem normal now, but it nearly required an act of Congress to make it to air in 1994. If you've never watched the show, this list probably won't do much for you, sorry; but if you have...prepare your angry comments.
