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)

    Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe,
    Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast,
    Is that portentous phrase, “I told you so,”
    Uttered by friends, those prophets of the past.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
