Line 6:
** Suffice it to say that if ''Deep Space Nine'' wants you to cry, you ''will'' cry.
* An unusual entry, I know, but, Nog's true [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcATQUFsz68 reasons for wanting to join Starfleet] always made me feel absolutely awful. The look on Captain Sisko's face throughout made it even worse; he almost looked ashamed of himself.
** Oh he's ''utterly'' [[My God, What Have I Done?|ashamed of himself]]- from the start he'd never considered Nog's request to join Starfleet as anything other than some devious Ferengi scheme for profit and in this scene he virtually ''bullies'' Nog into explaining himself, even physically grabbing and shaking him. Then he finds out that Nog's reasons are heartbreakingly personal and tragic and he realizes he's forced the young man to admit that his own father (whom Nog still loves dearly) is a failure because of his own cultural and racial prejudices. Fortunately, [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|he does make it up to Nog.]]
** It's also [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], considering that Nog's failure of a father becomes the Grand Nagus and leads a successful top-down revolution of the way Ferengi do business.
* Time's Orphan, 8-year old girl stranded, alone, 300 years in the past. Brought back as a feral girl 10 years (relative to her) later. Eventually, her parents have to send her BACK as her only shot at being happy. Sorry chief, looks like being [[The Woobie]] runs in the family.
