I thought one of the Prophets traveled to earth to possess Sarah. No distance power needed.
Did they knock her up too?
They never said one way or the other.
I totally forgot about that!
Both Wikipedia and Memory Alpha say that Sarah was possessed by one of the Prophets and manipulated into marrying Joseph 2 months after meeting him in order to conceive Benjamin, who was born the next year.

I haven't seen that episode......... I haven't watched all of DS9 except for the pilot and a few odd episodes
You're going to have to watch some even ones to balance out.
To this day, I think Archer's first reaction when introduced to Grat should have been "Oh, boy."
DS9 just doesn't grab me at all. The only episode I remember was the one where they were testing a gun which was like the movie Eraser. The gun in that episode was like the one from that movie. I have no desire to watch all of DS9, as it stands I forced myself to watch all of TNG and found that not a fun experience, bar a few episodes here and there.
TNG is very much a series where it is worth doing a lot of skipping. You don't miss much, and avoid a lot of mediocrity or worse. On rewatches I skip more than half the episodes.
It's harder to do that on DS9 with the greater serialisation. I love it, but it's not clicking for you I can certainly understand not wanting to invest that much time in it.
At least Trials and Tribble-ations is worth it watch.
Metrons? Whatever Rumplestiltskin was in DS9? Naguilum? Caretaker?
The Enterprise A is lovely to look at but not practical
How so?
Wouldn't that be most Federation starship designs? "Practical" for a 22nd/23rd/24th century spaceship design in fiction is a very relative thing.
Practical from the pov of people just moving about the ship, sure it has fancy maglev elevators that would make Willy Wonka blush but you have 2 main hull housings separated by this thin little neck structure and to me it just seems not very practical outside the world of fiction. Then you have systems like the nacelles which are fine and all but access is by long tunnels that you have to crawl up, not that you'd do that very often but still. You could have done that with a ship with one main body and maybe the nacelles mounted closer.
Well that was just my opinion. Carry on.

I love the design of the original Enterprise and the refit more than any other Star Trek designs.
That said, from a "practicality" standpoint, the Miranda-class is probably the most realistic. It's compact, simple, etc. Not my favorite design aesthetically, but it is one of the most realistic Federation designs in the franchise.
