Discuss Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Why didn't they have any of the "little jewels" like Kirk fired at the Gorn(s) on Cestus III? Would it just have made the battle too easy and non-dramatic?

Nex since you are Dutch and may have not gotten all my references: Bill Mumy is the actor who was in The Siege of AR 558. He was also in Lost in Space as Will Robinson, and Babylon 5 too. On Lost in Space his character had a sister Penny which is also the name of the girl in The Big Bang Theory which you didn't like but me and Knix are fans of. You know the Antedians were fish looking aliens on a STTNG episode. Bill Mumy also had a strange comedy band called Barnes and Barnes. Their best known song is called Fish Heads from 1980. If you already know all of that then you are truly a man of great wisdom

Thanx didn't know Mumy was in that episode and Babylon 5 or his band and the song.I do know a song called Fishnets by Morris Day (of The Time).

I did know about the Antedians with the fish heads and Mick Fleetwood's cameo and that they eat large quantities of what looked like small fish.Hence my comments on the Fishhead cannon and Spot (being a cat who probably likes fish)

Too bad medical technology wasn't that advanced, like in the "The Orville (2017-)".

Nog's leg could have then been regenerated.

They did give him a "regenerated" leg.

Now that you mention it Knix I remember that as well .

Well, it's not like the one they regrow in "The Orville".

In Voyager didn't Neelix get a replacement holographic lung after the Vidians or whoever tools his real one ? Or a replicated one or something like that?

Couldn't the Vidians have taken his voice?

A pity they didn't kept the scene of a pregnant Saavik on ST IV

Didn't know that was in "The Siege of AR-558". wink

Nooo it was in The Voyage Home at least it was scripted as such whether the scene was actually shot is disputed

The holographic lungs were just temporary, while he was in sick bay after the real ones were taken. Later he got them back. i.e., before the end of the episode. grinning

Holographic lungs were not a lung-term... errr, long-term... solution.

That was such a stupid idea to me that these aliens that have this Federation level technology resort to stealing body parts from whoever is passing by. Like lungs are one size fits all. After that I knew that show was going to be iffy

Maybe they put them through a transporter to make them the right size/shape?

Maybe we are over thinking things way too much.And besides VOY became iffy when in one episode the ship gets damaged and in the next the ship is flying like nothing happened the cargo bays must have been full of spare parts or Starfleet had a Delta Quadrant outlet store.

Oh there was lots more to laugh at. Such as, it seems like the Talaxians (Neelix's people) were all over the Delta Quadrant, spanning at least... what, 30,000 light years? Something like that. That was much bigger than the Federation, and since their ships weren't even as fast as Voyager it would mean it would take them over 30 years to get from "one end to the other" of "their space."

Just more plot convenience.
