They almost always play out the same way across Trek incarnations, so they don't do a ton for me. Even this ending which isn't quite to form was eh. The only one of these I really DID like

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 96 - The Quickening - 20 May 1996 2/2 was one on Enterprise with Phlox. The performances were the thing here, which were good. There was a funny small side gag about Quark and ads for his bar on the station screens I liked. But overall.. eh.
