Someone we missed back in June: [Stephanie Niznik](https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/stephanie-niznik-dead-dies-star-trek-everwood-1203266197/), who costarred in Everwood and also had a part in several Star Trek episodes and in Insurrection, died by in June at the age of 52. (Or at least I didn’t find her name when I searched in the thread back through April.) ---

He had kidney problems from birth. I love how DS9 developed ALL the characters…even Morn got his own episode. My favorite scene with Nog is when he finally broke down and told Sisko why he really wanted to join Star Fleet. ---

Food Network chef and frequent guest of many podcasts and radio shows has reportedly died at 44. This one really sucks. I listened to him many times on various shows. He was just a naturally funny an engaging person. Not officially announced but many of his friends are posting about his death on social media. ---

> [@ivylass](#): > > My favorite scene with Nog is when he finally broke down and told Sisko why he really wanted to join Star Fleet. It’s great and Sisko’s reaction is also great. I actually am not a huge Trek fan, but Deep Space Nine was an actual really good show sometimes. Clearly the best effort of the TV shows, in my opinion. Babylon 5 was way better, though. ---

Other than the original ------ DS9, the Ferengi (and the Rules of Acquisition of course), and how all that played just hit something with me. A little bit of Gunsmoke-in-Space and a little Heinlein-like I just really enjoyed what I got to see of it. He played his part well and brought a nice touch to it. ---
