DS9 s1e10 "Move Along Home"
Edit: Coincidentally put together last night before NegativeNull's Kiss post. Funny how that works.
me but with the Enterprise theme
Figured Allamaraine was the safer choice since it's universally panned as dumb.
I am among those few for whom the ENT theme
is enjoyablegrew on them as a result of Stockholm Syndrome.It has very begrudgingly forced me to kind of sort of enjoy it maybe just a little. But at the moment, trying to recall it is only giving me the Firefly theme, and that is nice, I'll just enjoy this for a bit.
It's been a long road
getting from there to here
I have seen all of DS9 but I have no recollection of this. For those who also don't remember:
Lucky you.
Joel Brooks made serious bank in the 90s playing jaunty assholes.

I don't know why people hate this episode so much.
It's a little cheesy, but who cares? So are dozens of episodes people love
Personally, I find the main alien characters highly annoying and the little girl singing the song over and over again even more so. And that's before we get into the "none of this actually mattered because there were no actual consequences" ending.
Edit: Not to mention, the exact same "this was all a game and there were no consequences" ending was done so much better in Shore Leave where Kirk still grew as a person despite the fact that he was never in any real danger.
And that's before we get into the "none of this actually mattered because there were no actual consequences" ending.
To me, that doesn't matter as much because the characters weren't aware of that. Sure if it happened every other episode I'd be annoyed - it's like the "it was all a dream" trope ending, in a way. But I don't have issue with it if used sparingly.
I think it was also useful in terms of showing, early on, that Quark does care about people over profit, and signals to the viewer that he is very much a redeemable character, and will have character growth in the future.
Overall I view it as a silly but kinda enjoyable episode. I certainly understand why people wouldn't like it, but I've never really understood why some hate it.
Some people aren't into cheesy stuff
Yeah but there's a lot of cheesy Trek
I've never met anyone who hates this episode. it's one of my favorites
I've seen a lot of hate for it, although entirely online

ALLAMARAINE! 🙌🎉👏
My wife and I just watched this episode like 2 days ago! 😂
I've done like 3 full watch through of TNG and somehow I have always skipped this episode. I've never seen it start to finish.
