unfilmed DS9 episode

[RobertScorpio]

Just for fun, what were some of the DS9 episodes that were never filmed..and should have been; in your mind at least? For example..they can be either serious or comical episodes never filmed..use your imagination..

FUR BALLS...
There should have been an episode of DS9 where one of our regulars (Sisko-Bashier-Kira) visit Risa. One morning they awake and realize that, somehow, someway, a Tribble has to be surgically removed from their body (you guess where)..I think FUR BALLS would have been a great title.

The "b" plot would have Worf opening up a daycare, based on his success in handling Yoshi...

I'd like to see an episode exploring the nitty-gritty of Weyoun's day-to-day schemings, only on an epic scale. I wanna see how exactly he wooed the Breen etc. I wanna see Weyoun addressing a huge audience of potential Dominion recruits (ie: in a 3000 person lecture hall or something like that) and then answering each and every question they have about his proposals.

They also definitely should have put the Jake/Weyoun interview on-screen too, after of course Jake agrees not to ask any pro-Federation-propaganda loaded questions. Actually an entire episode devoted solely to that would have been amazing!

Similarly, I want to see the nitty-gritty of Garak's day-to-day schemings. Things like how he suppliments his income, how he manages to maintain his relationships despite on the surface, having nothing current with which to offer value to his contacts.

They definitely should have had an episode where Weyoun, Garak, and Worf are marooned on a planet together and then all 3 of them must fight to the death (another DS9 fan came up with that one), and no easy cop-outs allowed like Worf/Garak making an alliance and killing Weyoun. Of course it wouldn't just be a physical contest but also Weyoun and Garak's persuasion skills would come into play to recruit armies of the planet's natives to fight for them etc.

These were all quite good. And, very budgetable. If TREK ever does those direct to dvd thingies that BAB-5 tried, these would be easy to do I think...

I like the "Garak's Day" idea.

As for me, I'd have liked to have seen an episode where a Nebula-class is docked at DS9. And somehow ends up being hijacked through the wormhole, never to be heard from again.

Heck..the should have spun those two off into STAR TREK's first Daytime Drama...STAR TREK: TIMES OF LOVE

I would have liked to see an episode where Garak and Dukat battled it out mano a mano, just giving air to all that mutual hostility and letting fly. Of course it would be much more subtle than a ham fisted physical fight, but I always wanted to know more about exactly what happened to Dukat's father, whether he was truly framed or whether there was something to it, and just why Garak had so much contempt for the younger Dukat.

I don't know..I don't see GARAK as a great fighter. Maybe its because of that 'vibe' we all discussed some time back. Dukat? That guy would throw sand in someone's eye, and then kick them in the balls...I wouldn't fight Dukat if you paid me money!

[PSGarak]

Given his history as a torturer, I'd be willing to bet Garak had some nasty surprises of his own.

 

[Thor Damar]

No, it would not be a fist fight, just a whole hour of the two Cardassians trying to out-monologue each other.

 

[PSGarak]

^ And amazing monologues they would be! Ears would bleed. Bajorans would weep. Sisko would get tired of both of them and have Odo throw them into a shared brig cell and hope maybe one would kill the other in his sleep.

 

[Thor Damar]

Maybe they could both join forces and take over DS9 merely though the power of monologue!

Or Damar would finally get around to shooting 'em both with one of his patterned 'resist' speeches.

 

[PSGarak]

As long as they kept the kanar coming, there'd be no danger of that. Damar and Morn would commiserate that neither of them ever got a word in edgewise anymore.

now THAT I could see.. they could CHEW scenes with the best of them!!!

You guys are reminding me of Broken Link which I had rewatched last week.

SISKO
But maybe there is something you
can do for me.
(off Garak's reaction)
This won't be an easy trip for
Odo. He'll need someone to occupy
his attention, take his mind off
his condition.


GARAK
You want me to keep him company?

SISKO
No. Anyone could do that. Dax,
Bashir, myself. But what would we
have to offer him? Kindness?
Sympathy? That's the last thing
he wants.

GARAK
(with pride)
But where you offer kindness, I
offer mystery. Where you offer
sympathy, I offer intrigue.

DEEP SPACE NINE: "Broken... " - REV. 04/19/96 - ACT TWO 23A.

27 CONTINUED: (2)

GARAK (Cont'd)
Just give me a seat near Odo's bed
and I promise you, I will conjure
up enough innuendos, half-truths,
and bald-faced lies about my
"career" in the Obsidian Order to
keep the Constable distracted for
days.

Sisko nods. That's just what he had in mind.

DEEP SPACE NINE: "Broken... " - REV. 04/19/96 - ACT TWO 24.

27 CONTINUED: (3)

GARAK
(smiles)
If there's one thing Cardassians
excel at, it's conversation.

And I concur that a Dukat/Garak out-monologuing episode would be amazing!

I'd like to have seen that, too. But at least we got Andrew Robinson's version of it in "A Stitch in Time" (yes, I know the books are not canon). Although he doesn't exactly explain why Garak hates Dukat, but I think it was obvious in the book.

I loved the book. I just really would have liked to see this, because both actors were so good at their respective roles and amazing on camera together.

 

[MeanJoePhaser]

Maybe have Tossk come back to help the crew during the Dominion war.

 

[Marie1]

Tosk would probably be on the Dominion's side... it is the order of things.

 

[Elias Vaughn]

Sisko travels into the past through the Orb of Time to the Saratoga, just before Wolf 359. He's able to keep the ship from being destroyed, and returns to an altered present where he, Jake, and Jennifer are living on a starbase somewhere not near Bajor. Bajor, speaking of, has become a full-fledged member of the Dominion ever since Weyoun commanded a fleet of ships through the wormhole and became known as the Emissary. Sisko, realizing that he shouldn't have messed with his past, must find a way to get to Bajor, use the Orb of Time to travel back again, and restore things to the way they used to be. Can he condemn his loving wife to death and his son to the loss of a parent?

Well, yeah. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.
