Between Majel Roddenberry's appearance as Lwaxana Troi and the relatively major role the DS9 computer had in this story, she pulled double duty for this episode.

Good night!

@spatula_tattoo @petertrek1 @allstartrek That is correct, I don't think she ever talked to herself on DS9, only on TNG. Interestingly, she was overly polite to the Enterprise computer but the opposite when talking to the station's computer.

Thanks for the correction. I did a little more checking online and I stand corrected. The DS9 computer voice was provided by Judi Durant. As you mentioned, Majel Roddenberry voiced the Starfleet ship computers. Thanks.

I wasn't a big fan of Lwaxana Troi during her early appearances on TNG. I felt her character was more for comic relief.

I did like her in later episodes such as TNG's "Dark Page" and this one which showed a more serious side of Lwaxana.

@petertrek1 @allstartrek Agreed. Half a Life is my favorite Lwaxana episode.

@sezduck @allstartrek

An excellent pick. "Dark Page" is probably my favorite Lwaxana episode with "Half a Life" a close second.

Good evening!

I feel sorry for Julian trying to host 3 ambassadors. They were giving him a bit of a hard time.

I'm not sorry for him. I'm sure his genetic engineering made Julian extra suited to such a task.🤔

How can you be a Ferengi and not know the value of land? 🧐

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek This episode always upsets me. It was supposed to be Nog who went on and on about the Ferengi theory of the Material Continuum. This early episode makes Jake the author of that one.

That is corrected later on! 😂

Molibok's home reminds of Bilbo Baggins home ...

@pbharristoo @allstartrek

Yeah! It does kind of look like a Hobbit house.

It's interesting to see how O'Brien and Bashir were more acquaintances rather than friends at this early stage of the show. Their friendship would evolve and develop later.

@allstartrek

StarkRG,
@StarkRG@myside-yourside.net avatar

@petertrek1 @allstartrek They weren't just audiences, O'Brien really didn't like him and Bashir was kinda pushy and overly boisterous. I can see why Garak developed such a huge crush on him.

@StarkRG @allstartrek

I recall early Season 1 Bashir wasn't very "likeable" (e.g. he was too interested and pushy with Dax)

You would think Kira or someone would occasionally visit Kai Opaka but we never see her again.

@allstartrek

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek - that would have been cool

He’s definitely in a mood.

In the documentary What We Left Behind, Nana Visitor described her character as having PTSD. And it all made sense to me.

Would Kira be crying if it was Kai Winn instead of Kai Opaka? 😂

good evening friends!!
Move along home! possibly the low point of DS9's first season. and still better than any episode in TNG's first season. just my opinion of course!

@pbharristoo@universeodon.com avatar

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek - that's a good way to put it!
