There are so many great episodes to chose from. Since most of the ones I’d pick have already been listed by others, here are my favorites that haven’t been mentioned yet:
Time’s Arrow is such a great two-parter, I’m surprised no one has mentioned it yet!
Easy one to miss! The documentation isn’t very detailed. 🙂
What is your domain set to?
Also I think the !selfhosted@lemmy.world community might be a better place to ask for help.
That’s most definitely a bug, in my opinion. Might want to file an issue on GitHub.
From a real-world perspective, I suspect that the headskirts were originally created to avoid creating a full head prosthetic for guest actors. Once the character of Quark was created, the cost of a reusable full head prosthetic would have been less prohibitive.
Your suspicion is correct. Several behind the scenes videos and past producers have confirmed this as the main reason. Not only cost, but time needed to do the full head makeup.
I turned that off, as well as show online status, years ago.

There are a lot of things to like about DS9. I’ll try to name some without spoiling anything.
One of the main ones is the fact it shows a darker more realistic side of humanity that at the time wasn’t present in other Trek. It feels a little more “grown up,” I guess?
Another is the caliber of Avery Brooks’ acting (and the rest of the cast,) but Avery Brooks in some of the episodes is just truly amazing…
By second to third season the cast really gels and you just love every single one.
All the crap O’Brien goes through (you will finally truly understand all the memes)
Worf joins DS9 season 4 and adds even more great stories and interactions within the cast/crew
The entire overarching plot of the Dominion war and how it impacts the Federation (federation… heheh)
The whole Sisko / Emissary / Prophets story line across the entire 7 seasons and how he grows into that role
All the Holosuite episodes, but especially “Take Me Out To The Holosuite”.
All the Klingon episodes and interaction… Gowron, Martok, Worf
There are so many good characters, not just the core / Sr. Officers / main cast
GARAK… Garak is worth watching the entire 7 seasons just by himself.
Dukat, Winn Adami
Liquidator Brunt FCA
Romulans…
Ferengi… MOOOOOOOOOGIE… ROM and Nog… The Grand Nagus… and of course Quark… Little Green Men
THE DEFIANT (one hell of a ship)
To name a few… I could go on.
And of course, there are always the oddball episodes that continue to be a running joke within the DS9 community…
Move along home!
Believe me, I know. As I’ve said, I’ve lost count of how many times I have rewatched everything. I’m looking forward to watching Voyager again as soon as I complete season 7 of DS9.
You’ve had first complete watch of Star Trek, yes. But what about second watch?
Now you can join the rest of us in rewatching it all over and over!
I’m on season 7 of DS9 of my… how many times have I watched this? I’ve lost count. A few days ago I had to watch Tears of the Prophets. Always a sad episode to watch. Voyager is next in my queue.
Wait, another one? Or is this a repost of the one I already subbed to?
Hell yeah! Let’s go Padres!
All my Reddit subs are slowly making it over here! Not a local anymore, but I lived a good 10 years in San Diego. I miss good burritos, especially the California Burrito.
Ideally, yes. If that can be the reality, and I suppose that is how it should would with federation, then server costs should never get out of hand.
You bring up a very good point. Currently lemmy.ml has thousands of users. Lemmy.world has thousands of users. The hardware they have selected to run their instances is adequate for now, but, what is the plan for scaling out if the user base grows? Is there one? They have a donation page on each lemmy instance (click or tap the heart icon,) but that can’t be enough to pay for the cost of running something used by millions of people, even if only 100s of thousands are ever only online at any given time.
In terms of UI/UX, @dessalines@lemmy.ml has mentioned in a post they are currently working on major performance improvements and enhancements.
Same!
Also the source of a great meme!
