That was something about DS9 that I think a lot of people didnt really grasp, and that was their range.

Of course we all know that the best thing to happen to DS9 was Voyager, but DS9 could go as dark as it wanted and balance it off with some light-hearted episodes, they could delve into the banalities Bajoran religion with Kai Wynn and torture O'Brien or play baseball, they just had so much range!

And Trials and Tribble-ations is easily top 5 or 10 Trek Episodes in Franchise history. The work they put into that episode? The cast and characters, how everything looked and worked and sounded and blended? Unbelievable.

I dont know whose idea that was, but that guy deserves and award of some kind. Like a special award, like an Oscar but instead a Golden O'Brien!
