Line 179:
* [[Legacy Character]]: Gard. Every host of the Gard symbiont fulfils the exact same function in Trill society, in contrast to every other Joined Trill.
* [[Les Yay]]: There are plenty of hints that Kira (and by extension Iliana) are bisexual. Kira's loss of Dakahna Vaas is treated more like she's lost a lover than a close friend, and Iliana ultimately has an [[I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] reaction towards sending the mirror universe Vaas off with Ataan... to both of them. As well, when Iliana muses that she can never return Shing-kur's feelings for her, it's because she feels all such emotions have been driven out of her by her captivity, not because Shing-kur's female (or biologically incompatible, for that matter).
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Oddly for the series that had such a reputation for darkness among ''Star Trek'' series, the DS9 relaunch is this among the post-series EU. Sure, lots of bad things still happen... some really awful, tragic things, actually... but considering that the ''Next Generation'' and ''Voyager'' relaunches seem absolutely fixated on character suffering and death and killing off entire planetary populations with a [[Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy|numbing regularity]], the DS9 relaunch both keeps the tone of its own show much better and is like a breath of fresh air amidst the other depressing, pessimistic relaunches.
* [[Literal Minded]]: Srral.
* [[Living Labyrinth]]: The Cathedral/Anathema.
