In the Cards

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

I lovve this episode. I would love for someone to start a Line-by-Line thread for this. How do I do that?

I love Geiger's plan. It may be "odd" and perfect some of the episode's comic zest, but I actually agree with his idea of cellular ennui.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Definitely one of the best comedy episodes of the series.

Anyone else think that the Willie Mays baseball card was originally supposed to be the Mickey Mantle card from The Most Toys, but the producers decided Sisko should idolize a historic black baseball player instead? The reference to the card being on a derelict freighter is just too on the nose to not be.

Nah. Fajo's collection was confiscated and all the items were returned to their rightful owners.

 

[T'Girl]

Maybe the person selling the card WAS the rightful owner?

In the Cards is my favorite comedy episode in all of Star Trek. Watching it to start a binge of the occupation arc actually makes it that much better.

There was no person though, the stuff was found on a derelict freighter floating adrift a light year from DS9.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Maybe it was Nostril Jewelry Guy's freighter.

 

[Tosk]

A lot of maybes for a card that isn't even the same one.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

It took a swipe at Roddenberry economics, and then tried to realize them. Brilliant.

Also, Weyoun. He makes every scene he's in awesome just by being there, and his appearances in this episode are truly comedy gold.

Couldn't agree more. Jeffrey Combs is just so much fun to watch. Doesn't really matter what character he plays.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

He was my favourite thing about Enterprise. And Weyoun is one of my favourite characters of all time.

Which Weyoun?

 

[CommanderRaytas]

ALL of them! But I think Weyoun five is the funniest.

"Mr. Combs, which Weyoun was your favorite?"

Sounds like a good convention question! Good for a few laughs and a few eye-rolls from others!

Somebody MUST have done that by now, right?

 

[CommanderRaytas]

It's the kind of question I'd ask. In any case, I like it how the thread's turned into an ode to Weyoun's awesomeness.

I'm pretty sure Combs has said he really enjoyed playing the defecting Weyoun in "Treachery, Faith and the Great River".

To be serious for a moment, that was the only one that was at all a different character, so he pretty much has to choose between one of the "normal" clones, or the treasonous one.
