I was thinking maybe a seahorse kind of thing.

Add in Sokel for the next round. He was T'Lyn's former captain.

Early pre-production for the first movie started that year. Might have been to build hype.

Your picture is missing the, "Never give up," part.

That's clearly a yellow beam, making Worf a Jedi Sentinel.

But I like having a reason to pretend sexist Pike didn't happen.

His mom mentions learning to make Klingon food for him, particularly blood pie. He was probably eating a mix of human and klingon stuff on the Enterprise. Of course, since a good amount of klingon food is served live, his options for good klingon food from the replicator were limited.

All Picards? What about Picards by marriage, because as I get older Marie Picard starts looking better.

I think what makes DS9 work is its core premise, and the problem with some of the newer stuff is they're trying for that tone without that premise to back it up. As Sisko says early on, it's easy to be a saint in paradise, but DS9 isn't paradise; they're at a backwater that's been ravaged by decades of military occupation and is struggling to get by. On Earth, people can just replicate whatever they need for free, but Bajor doesn't have a post-scarcity economy and they often need to make hard choices. Half the crew also isn't from the Federation and doesn't have that strong sense of morality ingrained in them from birth.

You can also use the episodes they liked to recommend other Trek shows. Someone that likes the zany episodes would probably like TOS or VOY, for example.

Ah, I see! They pose as humans because they're embarrased about their lobe size.

"In the Pale Moonlight" was something Sisko was very much not comfortable with. He's very clearly struggling with his morality the entire time and is enraged when he discovers Garak played him and murdered people. His, "I can live with it," thing is him trying to convince himself, not a statement of how he feels.
