O’Brien may thrive on all of the station’s problems, but sometimes the endless litany can make Nog feel like he’s working his uncle’s bar again.

I know you do. If I were in your position I’d probably be just as ready to throw everything away for the person I love. But I would also want to be sure that I was ready to pay the price.

I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all… I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it…

star trek’s first gay kiss was between women and y’all better fucking remember that shit or I’m going to personally arrive at your house and punt you into the center of the earth. and TECHNICALLY stamets and culber are the THIRD gay kiss because the intendant and mirror ezri kissed too, though i’m willing to overlook that one since the intendant was a nasty stereotype. i will not let you forget jadzia, though.

Kira is an interesting character in the ST phenomenon, as she is openly and deeply religious, but neither fool nor fanatic. She attends the Bajoran temple on the station and has a shrine in her quarters for meditation; she ahd an Orb experience, heightening her sensitivity and spirituality…
But she does not try to force her beliefs on anyone, and is opposed to such efforts in religion or politics…Whatever the status of religion in modern science fiction generally, and in Star Trek, for Kira, it is a source of strength and comfort, and her fellows respect her perhaps in spite of it, but it doesn’t interfere with their relationships.
