00:00:02.544 --> 00:00:05.255
Ah, I can't believe
we're at Deep Space 9!

2
00:00:05.255 --> 00:00:07.632
I was so excited that
Shaxs was gonna visit

3
00:00:07.632 --> 00:00:08.633
Deep Space 9.

4
00:00:08.633 --> 00:00:10.468
It's a real shocker.

5
00:00:10.468 --> 00:00:12.971
Tacky Cardassian fascist eyesore.

6
00:00:12.971 --> 00:00:14.055
I was so happy to learn

7
00:00:14.055 --> 00:00:15.974
that we were all going
to Deep Space 9.

8
00:00:15.974 --> 00:00:17.976
I mean, it's just such an iconic location

9
00:00:17.976 --> 00:00:19.436
in the Star Trek franchise,

10
00:00:19.436 --> 00:00:20.812
and just to hear Nana Visitor

11
00:00:20.812 --> 00:00:23.898
and Armin Shimerman reprise
their roles was incredible.

12
00:00:23.898 --> 00:00:26.276
The music's always
been emotional for me,

13
00:00:26.276 --> 00:00:31.281
and it was really emotional
to see it animated.

14
00:00:36.870 --> 00:00:37.537
Um.

15
00:00:37.537 --> 00:00:39.414
Just keep circling.

16
00:00:39.414 --> 00:00:41.166
Ah, the wormhole looks so good.

17
00:00:41.166 --> 00:00:42.667
I just wanted to jump through it

18
00:00:42.667 --> 00:00:45.754
and go meet some Jem'Hadar
doing some shenanigans.

19
00:00:45.754 --> 00:00:48.298
It was a joy to hear the music again

20
00:00:48.298 --> 00:00:50.425
and to see the station because, really,

21
00:00:50.425 --> 00:00:53.428
the animation of the station
was really quite impressive.

22
00:00:53.428 --> 00:00:57.057
I was really glad that
they chose what I thought

23
00:00:57.057 --> 00:00:59.976
was her defining look.

24
00:00:59.976 --> 00:01:02.437
I know this scarred up old barrel bug.

25
00:01:02.437 --> 00:01:03.563
How are you, Shaxs?

26
00:01:03.563 --> 00:01:06.858
Any day not living under
Cardassian rule is a good one.

27
00:01:06.858 --> 00:01:10.236
I love that there's a
Bajoran on Lower Decks.

28
00:01:10.236 --> 00:01:12.113
I was just so happy
that they were friends

29
00:01:12.113 --> 00:01:15.658
and that Shaxs and her
were freedom fighters

30
00:01:15.658 --> 00:01:16.910
and had a history.

31
00:01:16.910 --> 00:01:18.411
We were in the Resistance together.

32
00:01:18.411 --> 00:01:21.247
He saved my life during a
raid on the Haru outpost.

33
00:01:21.247 --> 00:01:23.917
I still owe you for that one.

34
00:01:23.917 --> 00:01:25.001
No, you don't.

35
00:01:25.001 --> 00:01:26.795
It was the back and forth,

36
00:01:26.795 --> 00:01:30.340
the Bajoran and the freedom
fighter attitude of,

37
00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:32.092
I'm just a little braver

38
00:01:32.092 --> 00:01:35.053
and more sacrificing than you are.

39
00:01:35.053 --> 00:01:37.305
Yeah, because I owe
you for pulling me

40
00:01:37.305 --> 00:01:38.973
out of that plasma storm
in the Badlands.

41
00:01:38.973 --> 00:01:42.227
It's the, "No, you saved
me so I owe you."

42
00:01:42.227 --> 00:01:44.229
We wouldn't have even
made it to the Badlands

43
00:01:44.229 --> 00:01:46.356
if you hadn't sprung me
from that prison transport.

44
00:01:46.356 --> 00:01:47.690
You sprang me from
one the week before.

45
00:01:47.690 --> 00:01:48.733
That one didn't count.

46
00:01:48.733 --> 00:01:50.485
We were both locked up. Come on!

47
00:01:50.485 --> 00:01:53.363
It's not only an insight
into their characters,

48
00:01:53.363 --> 00:01:56.241
but also an insight
into the Bajoran culture

49
00:01:56.241 --> 00:01:57.492
as to, like, what's important.

50
00:01:57.492 --> 00:02:01.037
Ladies and gentlemen,
Major Kira Nerys.

51
00:02:01.037 --> 00:02:01.996
Quark!

52
00:02:01.996 --> 00:02:05.708
The scene with Kira
and Quark is so cute.

53
00:02:05.708 --> 00:02:07.919
We love that Quark and Kira relationship.

54
00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:08.878
We've always loved it.

55
00:02:08.878 --> 00:02:12.215
Just him doing something
weird and mildly creepy

56
00:02:12.215 --> 00:02:14.259
and her being like, "I'm
going to murder you,"

57
00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:15.135
and then he's scared.

58
00:02:15.135 --> 00:02:17.095
Quark!

59
00:02:18.596 --> 00:02:19.722
It's a perfect dynamic.

60
00:02:19.722 --> 00:02:23.143
The Ferengi have always
been comic relief.

61
00:02:23.143 --> 00:02:24.894
They weren't originally meant to be,

62
00:02:24.894 --> 00:02:29.065
and that's why I always
tried to twinkle as Quark

63
00:02:29.065 --> 00:02:31.734
and certainly got to
do that on Lower Decks.

64
00:02:31.734 --> 00:02:33.153
Get away from me.

65
00:02:33.153 --> 00:02:35.446
One of the things I like
about Lower Decks

66
00:02:35.446 --> 00:02:39.701
is it deals with the people
who are not in command and,

67
00:02:39.701 --> 00:02:41.953
of course, on Deep Space Nine,

68
00:02:41.953 --> 00:02:43.538
Quark was one of
those people, as well.

69
00:02:43.538 --> 00:02:46.124
He was part of the
lower decks and, yet,

70
00:02:46.124 --> 00:02:47.834
his personality got to shine

71
00:02:47.834 --> 00:02:50.628
just as the personalities
on Lower Decks get to shine.

72
00:02:50.628 --> 00:02:52.422
Dabo!

73
00:02:52.422 --> 00:02:54.883
And the streak continues.

74
00:02:54.883 --> 00:02:58.344
The fact that Boimler is
on a roll at Quark's Bar,

75
00:02:58.344 --> 00:03:01.097
the original Quark's, that's amazing.

76
00:03:01.097 --> 00:03:03.516
Quark's Bar was gorgeous.

77
00:03:03.516 --> 00:03:06.895
That was so beautiful to
have Quark behind the bar

78
00:03:06.895 --> 00:03:10.106
and me pissed off at him in front of it.

79
00:03:10.106 --> 00:03:11.441
I was right there again.

80
00:03:11.441 --> 00:03:13.026
I was wondering when you'd show up.

81
00:03:13.026 --> 00:03:14.360
Are you guys telling war stories?

82
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.155
I was just clearing her
tab for old time's sake.

83
00:03:17.155 --> 00:03:23.119
I was really glad that Kira
was still on Deep Space 9.

84
00:03:23.119 --> 00:03:25.538
That's my story for her,

85
00:03:25.538 --> 00:03:29.042
and I'm glad that Lower
Decks stuck with that idea.

86
00:03:29.042 --> 00:03:32.170
To be part of the franchise,
to be part of the mythology,

87
00:03:32.170 --> 00:03:36.633
to have my character show up
in various different places,

88
00:03:36.633 --> 00:03:37.926
it's like winning the lottery.

89
00:03:37.926 --> 00:03:39.552
It's good to have money.
