DS9 s1e10 "Move Along Home"

Edit: Coincidentally put together last night before NegativeNull's Kiss post. Funny how that works.

me but with the Enterprise theme
- Figured Allamaraine was the safer choice since it's universally panned as dumb.
  I am among those few for whom the ENT theme ~~is enjoyable~~ grew on them as a result of Stockholm Syndrome.
  
  It has very begrudgingly forced me to kind of sort of enjoy it maybe just a little. But at the moment, trying to recall it is only giving me the Firefly theme, and that is nice, I'll just enjoy this for a bit.
I don't know why people hate this episode so much.
It's a little cheesy, but who cares? So are dozens of episodes people love
- Personally, I find the main alien characters highly annoying and the little girl singing the song over and over again even more so. And that's before we get into the "none of this actually mattered because there were no actual consequences" ending.
  Edit: Not to mention, the exact same "this was all a game and there were no consequences" ending was done so much better in Shore Leave where Kirk still grew as a person despite the fact that he was never in any real danger.
  
  To me, it felt like the episode mattered because you got character development. It's the first time we get to see exactly how Odo and Quark's relationship works, and we also get to see Quark's..."unorthodox" problem solving style, in contrast to how federation weenies go about things.
