Allamaraine, you’ll come with me…”
Sorry I’m a few minutes late… assuming everyone else started on time 
It’s been said before, I’ll say it again. I love this theme.
I’m torn between this one and Voyager’s.
Sort of. I had DVD issues. Also, I’m juggling between two other computers.
yeah I may be singing along with grand gestures.
KK I think we’re about at the same point since I was singing along with the theme about the same time you mentioned it

According to one of the writers, Jeanne Carrigan-Fauci, the name of the game, “Chula”, comes from “Chutes and Ladders”, as the maze game is a “three-dimensional form” of the game.

LOL I can’t help but think of Audra’s discussion of Nog’s junk.
I do love the scenes of Sisko interacting with Jake.
[i]First versions of the episode were more complex, but history and scenographies were eventually simplified due to budget issues.
According to writer Frederick Rappaport “in an earlier version of the teleplay, our people win the game, but they discover that Bashir has not been returned to the station. So Falow strikes a deal - Quark must return all his winnings if they want Bashir back.”
Michael Piller said that this episode was inspired by the episode “Checkmate” of The Prisoner. In some early versions of the script, our characters were placed in a surreal village, similar to the village featured in that series.[/i]
Except when creepy purple-forehead aliens are involved. :eek:
Oh. My. /Takei
