Hey, I asked 'em… no one answered…

Here, I’ll clear out my outstanding DS9 questions and rustle up some more.

The Bajoran Spider is the Paluckoo. Dax and Kira spotted one in “The Seige”.

Rene “Odo” Auberjonois was the guest star in the Enterprise episode “Oasis” as

a guy who created holographic replacements for his family and friends

which bore a striking resemblance to the DS9 episode “Shadowlands” about

a guy who created holographic replacements for his family and friends

Here’s a few more DS9’ers:

1. Dr. Bashir once said a version of McCoy’s famous “I’m a doctor, not a …” What was he claiming not to be?
2. Which Main DS9 character (i.e. in the openning credits) was played by two different actors? (Dax doesn’t count since Ezri and Jadzia are different characters.)
3. What is the given name of the Grand Nagus?
4. Of the 9 main DS9 characters, 6 of them have had weddings on-screen. Which ones?

1. Dr. Bashir once said a version of McCoy’s famous “I’m a doctor, not a …” What was he claiming not to be?

I should know this but don’t.

1. Which Main DS9 character (i.e. in the openning credits) was played by two different actors? (Dax doesn’t count since Ezri and Jadzia are different characters.)

Huh? Maybe you mean Alexander Siddig and Siddig El Fadil? Same dude, different names. Otherwise I haven’t a clue.

1. What is the given name of the Grand Nagus?

Zek.

1. Of the 9 main DS9 characters, 6 of them have had weddings on-screen. Which ones?

Jadzia, Worf, Sisko, Miles… and, uh… Ezri and Julian? Did they get married?

Ah yes. I remember that stupid episode, where she made Riker join her for some Southern date and then made him want her or something. (I’m trying to play w/o looking it up, now that I have discovered that the entirety of that encyclopedia I have can be found online).
