“Once… upon a time… there was a Dal’Rok!”
I remember the first time I saw this episode. I really didn’t like that moment. I said, “They really aren’t taking this series very serious.” Now I just giggle at that scene.
This episode was based on Rudyard Kipling’s short story, “The Man Who Would Be King”.
Oh O’Brien! Thou dost protest too much.
It’s a Bro-mance!!
I liked this portion of the story with Varis. I liked that they showed Bajor as a diverse culture instead of the typical One World concept from other Star Trek episodes.
Sorry I’m late.
Brief nap turned out to be not so brief. 
Michael Piller commented "One of the really big problems with this script, which is why it didn’t appeal to anybody, is because it was not about any of our characters. We were just watching the events occur by putting O’Brien in the middle, saying you have to solve it. What really appealed to me was the great theme that sometimes we create our own monsters so that we can defeat them and feel secure in our power. I was always in love with that theme, and finally we made it work. Ira did a lot of work on that script.
I love that man.
“Do I annoy you?”
Julian. Typical guy. Clueless.
“Do I… annoy you?”
Notice the lack of an answer. :rolleyes:
Hey Sleepy!!
“You could call me Julian.”
Show him the dreamy eyes again.
Slept through the alarm and everything. :eyebrow:
“I’m not a little lady!”
“I’m still charging her for that drink.” 
Quark just barges in.
giggle
And pays for it.
“I’m still charging her for that drink.”
Um, I guess she’s still paying for it.
“You’re not the one.”
OK, Zathras.
“I have never seen anything so beautiful!”
“She’s all right.”
If that, what with the tiny lobes and full clothing and all. ick
No, no, no, Zathras!
Common mistake.
This was the first episode to show the beginnings of friendship between Julian Bashir and Miles O’Brien. While they had had scenes together in “Emissary” and “Q-Less”, the idea to pair these two characters up was Ira Steven Behr’s
Not sure what episode, but they’re a scene with Julian talking about hurting himself playing tennis with O’Brien. It’s so dripping with innuendo that it’s difficult to believe it wasn’t on purpose.
“The Dal’Rok wakes…”
That’s what he said. Go Viagra!
