Favorite Star Trek friendships - Ro Laren & Guinan

“You’re not like any bartender I ever met before." 

"And you’re not like any Starfleet officer I’ve ever met before, but that sounds like the beginning of a very interesting friendship." 

“You see, Captain, when I was seven years old I was given a piece of sugar candy and I was led by a Cardassian into a room where my father was sitting. And he looked at me with eyes I’d never seen. The Cardassian began to ask him questions, and during the next two hours, as I was forced to watch, my father was tortured until he died. And I remember feeling so ashamed of him as he begged for mercy. I was ashamed of him for being weak. I was ashamed of being Bajoran. Later I began to understand how misguided those feelings were. And yet somehow, they have remained a part of me. I don’t want to be ashamed of my heritage any longer, Captain. I serve the Federation. But I am Bajoran.”

Now that I really know Bajoran culture and history, it really pisses me off the way that the crew initially deals with Ro

Also, Ro and Guinan conversations are awesome

“I believe truth is in the eye of the beholder.”

“Isn’t that supposed to be beauty?”

“Truth, beauty. It works for a lot of things.”

I want to crush them all in a big hug.

I fell in love at the first sight with this girl

Conclusions from the episode: practically all the admirals from the Fleet are a bunch of assholes, and Ro Laren is kind of awesome.
