Maybe because I just finished a whole DS9 re-watch the other week, and so it’s fresh in my mind, but when I saw today on twitter that it’s the 16th anniversary of the finale of Deep Space 9… well, I just felt like reminding everyone else, too!
How many of you where there to watch it broadcast, I wonder? I was in the end of my freshmen year of high school at the time, and still remember getting teary eyed at the end moments. Anyone else there to see it end?

Okay, what if–instead of TOS!Uhura or TOS!Kirk or any other TOS character showing up in the AOS verse–Ben Sisko ends up popping into the AOS Enterprise by accident?
Like, he just appears on the bridge one day, looks around confused for a second, and then says, “Something tells me this is not the timeline I was shooting for.”
Because learning interdimensional travel from a species that has no concept of time is hard, folks.
And Ben just has to hang out on this shiny Enterprise until his Prophet mom comes by to pick him up.
In the mean time, adventure ensues.

CAN I MAKE THIS THE TOP TEN FAVOURITE MOMENTS? I’M MAKING THIS THE TOP TEN FAVOURITE MOMENTS.
6. ’Kelley recalls: “When I was doing the series, I was quite a bit huskier…and Shatner was always with the barbells, and he’d come in [flexing and posing], and every day when I got off, I’d go and take the makeup off, and you strip to the waist and get all this stuff off. I’d come back through. He’d be sitting in his little chair, you know…I’d flex, and I’d walk by him every day. One day he says “Look, cracker-ass, why don’t you knock that off?”…I called him bubble-butt.”’

8. “”The other cast members weren’t slouches either. One day, during a particularly intense confrontation between McCoy and Spock, DeForest Kelley leaned forward and kissed Leonard Nimoy on the nose. Leonard just stared at him, shocked, then realized what he had done and broke up. But it didn’t end there. They couldn’t do a retake. Every time Leonard got close to DeForest and looked him in the eye, he broke up laughing again. And the effect was contagious. Pretty soon no one on the set could keep a straight face. Leonard and De were too conscious of their nose-to-nose position, they couldn’t stay in character long enough to do the shot. Finally, Joe Pevney, the director, gave up. They had to move to another set and pick up some other shots””
9. That one time during a convention with Nimoy where they were to read out a short story written for a Star Trek contest. And at the mention of the late Enterprise, they both paused and put their hands over their hearts—and De did a double-take, before hopping (yes, hopping) over to Nimoy’s podium to correctly re-position his hand on his lower abdomen, where the vulcan heart is (properly) located.

Have your “merchant race” mark nouns for how much they would value that noun on the market.
“My best friend(not for sale)’s house(300,000 credits) has great views(50,000 credits) of the ocean (1,000,000 credits), but I don’t like their neighbors(20 credits).
Wouldn’t insulting be attaching a negative value, as in “I would pay someone to get rid of this for me”, like you could say about garbage or water from flooding or something? (Wikipedia says those things are called “bads”.)
(For a moment I thought “wait, but there wouldn’t be any neighbours in that case”, but I suppose you could have neighbours through renting out bits of your moon to people.)
