I just realized I wrote down the wrong episode. It was "The Perfect Mate", not "Cost Of Living". I have edited my previous post to reflect this.

(I was working on something else at the same time I was writing that. Apologies for the confusion.)
 
Listening to Movieblog's review of "Sons and Daughters" I was thinking today whether Jeremy Aster would have got on better with Worf than his own son.
I wondered what normal Bajorans thought about what happened to Opaka. The Space Pope going on a ride with Space Jesus through Heaven and then kicked out into an eternal ever living hell. She's still down there now watching ships go by, waving at the sky as they pass her by. Also did any Jem Hadar ever go visit the planet and get killed and reborn?

The Dominion probably created that hell in the first place. The Jem'Hadar would have had orders to stay away from it.

There were two different Alexanders, the spirited and independent minded youngster of TNG and the bumbling and clueless adolescent of DS9. Only thing they had in common is Worf didn't relate well with either of them.

We didn't get to know Jeremy that well, but I think he would have fared little better. Worf made even pre-Inner Light Picard look like Fred Rogers by comparison.
 
DS9 Alexander is one of the few things I don’t like in DS9. I liked future Alexander from TNG who (at some point) was a man of peace for idealistic reasons. Not bumbling goofy Alexander.

I always pretend in my head he is a changeling using cluelessness to undermine Worf’s confidence and create chaos :-D

Absolutely agree. DS9 has a lot to recommend it, but they really did badly in the development of some characters (both legacy and DS9-specific). I felt "Firstborn", one of my favourite episodes, and the progress Worf & Alexander made, was largely undone/ignored by his appearances on DS9.
 
One thing that made me wonder is in Season 7 'Thine Own Self', Data "loses his memory" but still knows basic science, yet doesn't know what the box with huge red letters saying "RADIOACTIVE" mean.

It's a puzzle isn't it Data?

He lost his reactions too the poor fella, bashed on the bonce and stabbed through the heart. A real bad day at the office.
 
Remember that DS9 episode where the Cardassian lady thinks O'Brien is flirting with her because he's annoyed with her? I kind of want to see how that would play out between two Cardassians. Like how would proper Cardassian dating actually work?
 
Pretty sure Ziyal was raised on Bajor. She might not have gotten into that habit.
Yeah, I figured she was more raised on Bajor or Terok Nor at first and then lived on some Breen slave planet and then back on DS9. I doubt she'd have a clue about how Cardassians really behave on their homeworld.
I was thinking about this because I don't think you really see a lot of Cardassian women and "Destiny" makes this statement about them which makes for a good joke but I wonder in practice how it really works. Because I imagine that people are going to get irritable a lot in space but and every time some human tells them f off Cardassian women can't be going "oh wow that guy/girl wants me!" can they?
