Because allamaraine exists.
Honestly the worst thing is they never brought this group back. They could have at least tried to redeem the story.
Star Trek canon is littered with abandoned species that could have had interesting follow-up stories. These were far from the most interesting.
Move along home with that “Rumpelstiltskin” nonsense, you.
I love how it’s O’brien who’s really afraid.
TBH, O’brien’s been on the Enterprise long enough to know that when weird, seemingly powerful creatures start talking to you, you should be very, very careful. Even if they present themselves as storybook characters.
How is this not the worst episode of DS9?
Two Jadzias. And one of them is horny AF.
Clearly, the best episode.
Because you get to see Odo herding animals and Bashir getting extremely embarrassed.
