The Ascent (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) - Notes

Notes

  • This is the last Deep Space Nine episode to feature the Starfleet Uniforms first introduced in season 1. From the following episode onwards the crew would wear the much darker uniforms introduced in Star Trek: First Contact.
  • Quark asks Odo if he would care for a game of Fizzbin, saying it is an easy game to learn. In the original series episode "A Piece of the Action" Captain Kirk, while being held captive on Sigma Iotia II, spontaneously invents a confusing card game to distract the henchmen guarding himself, Spock, and McCoy. He names the game Fizzbin.

Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.
    —“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)

    Ceremony and ritual spring from our heart of hearts: those who govern us know it well, for they would sooner deny us bread than dare alter the observance of tradition.
    F. Gonzalez-Crussi, Mexican professor of pathology, author. “On Embalming,” Notes of an Anatomist (1985)

    Or bid the soul of Orpheus sing
    Such notes as, warbled to the string,
    Drew iron tears down Pluto’s cheek,
    And made Hell grant what love did seek;
    John Milton (1608–1674)
