Rom: There must be some kind of interference disrupting our translators.
Quark: What kind of interference?
Rom: I’m not sure… Could be solar flares, or maybe ionic interference… Or I suppose it could be beta radiation. But that’s only produced by nuclear fission.

DAY 15: Something you wish would have happened
Again, I’m an indecisive person and it’s my last day, so, four things:
1. I really wish Garak/Bashir was a real thing, for several reasons. Star Trek never had a true and long same sex relationship, and with the writers and actors favorable to the idea, and with the amazing chemistry that Andy and Sid have, it could have been a very beautifully worked relationship.
2. I know she died because Terry was leaving the series and I do like Ezri, but it doesn’t stop me to wish that Jadzia’s death never happened. I wish she had stayed alive, that she and Worf had beautiful hybrid kids and she just… didn’t die the way she did. I wish we had more Jadzia.
3. Speaking about deaths… yeah, I wish Ziyal never died, too. More than that; I wish she had a decent plotline, I wish she had time to explore herself - I would love to see Ziyal exploring her lost teenagehood, having friends and dating people her age, I would have loved if she hanged out with other teens in DS9, to see her discovering her Bajoran heritage - and I wish that her character wasn’t reduced to make us feel sorry for her father.
4. I will have to talk about the same point again; since we couldn’t have G/B, I wish we had a permanent same sex relationship with other characters. It could be with anyone, but sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Lenara had chosen to stay with Jadzia. How they would work her memories and their current lives? And the exile? How they would be treated by other Trills? Like pariahs, like Worf was treated by other Klingons in some episodes of TNG? We know shit about Trill society, so, it was something that I would love to see developing in a real thing.

DAY 09: Happiest Moment
I had to give a lot of thought to this one, because every fucking happy moment I remembered was actually a bittersweet moment, and I wanted a genuinely happy moment, so I decided that the lovely end of the episode “In The Cards” fits this description.

Rom may have been a mess of a Ferengi (and a mess of a lot of other things), but on that day he was the greatest father ever.
