I love Garak rolling his eyes at Julian's flirting with women in Our Man Bashir because I truly believe that if Julian started laying those moves on him, Garak would explode

I desperately need a supercut of every time in DS9 when someone asks Sisko if they could borrow a runabout, like a teenager asking for the car keys. Dad, I need to break a political prisoner out of a labor camp. Dad, I need to give my spy boyfriend a lift to Bajor for unspecified reasons. Da- I mean Captain- I, Gul Dukat, need you to drive me to the demilitarized zone...please.

I just remembered that I was awestruck with Kira when I first saw her in DS9. Her allure, her body language, her way of speaking. She is so butch at the beginning, so hard, yet so charismatic. They force her into relationships with men but the men they give her are actually kind, affectionate, soft, caring, a sharp contrast with her.
I am not used to a character like Kira, and specially not in the 90s. If I had seen this series as a child, she would have been my role model, the same way Maggie the pilot from Northern Exposure was.
She lives on her own, with her own rules, she doesn't explain her decisions, she works well, cares about people, shows emotion, has a sense of aesthetic that fits her, wears comfy clothes, doesn't put up with more shit than necessary... She is never played as a sexy character or to showcase how beautiful she is, her whole character takes over.
When Sisko comes to the station and he is told "have you ever spoken to a Bajoran woman?" and then we meet her and her -0 fucks. And you think it is her, but it turns out Bajoran women are like that generally speaking.
How much of Kira's character is hers and how much is the whole planet? If women are like that, isn't it understandable that men are like Vedek Bareil and Shakaar? Maybe that is also why she ends up getting along with Sisko so well, because he is also kind, patient and affectionate.
And then all the other characters took over, the first seasons they didn't really gave us too much Kira and Dax, I guess more than an episode with the two of them (and Keiko) would have made the tv explode, but what a great character Kira Nerys is.

Honourable mentions go to the Enterprise E which I didn't have space to list separately (sorry Worf), the Protostar from Prodigy and anything else I didn't have room for (they really should up the 10 limit). If your favourite didn't make the list please say in tags/reblog what it is :)

In the Cards is a fantastic episode just for the 1 - 2 combo of 1) Julian without hesitation declaring his childhood teddy bear would be the one thing that would make him happy right now and agreeing to get Jake and Nog what they want if they get him Kukalaka and 2) the reveal that Leeta fucking stole it and has been sleeping with it

the first wretched thing we ever hear quark say about his wretched sexuality in emissary part 2 is "i love a woman in uniform" which establishes him INSTANTLY as a whore a pervert and a freak in Ferengi society (not just clothes, authoritarian clothes???) but still manages to come off as generic slimy little man dialogue to other humanoids. haha, what a guy, etc. that bitch is living his best life off world, where he gets to be both a smarmy misogynist AND a femmedom bottom??? for all he waxes rhapsodical about Ferenginar & complains about the Federation and Bajor, I truly believe you couldn't get him to live on Ferenginar permanently again for money
