Notes
- The first time we see the Bajoran dress uniform.
- The first same sex kiss in all of Star Trek (F/F). The first M/M kiss wouldn’t happen until the 2017 episode of Star Trek: Discovery “Into the Forest I Go“.
- The magic tricks performed by Dax and Bashir were really done by Terry Farrell & Alexander Siddig.
- Lenara Kahn was played by Susanna Thompson. She’s had a few roles in Trek. She was a Romulan in TNG’s “The Next Phase“. She was a Tilonian in the TNG episode “Frame of Mind“. However, she’s most known for being the Borg Queen in three episodes of Voyager – “Dark Frontier“, “Unimatrix Zero Parts I & II“. I also know her well as Moira Queen from the CW show “Arrow“.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 78 - Rejoined - 30 Oct 1995 2/2 in one short scene, but it's all anyone talks about. We do talk a lot about Trill culture & how they're not supposed to get involved with former hosts; it's an allegory for homophobia. In '95 this was huge (not now tho).
