Sa'ar's right. He'll have trouble finding the "Maquis" fiver (it's one of my favourite episodes, so I've had it called forever but haven't written it yet), so he'll have to use that time to think of a new quote instead.
Quote:
The remarkable thing is that DS9 accomplished so much without a Babylon 5-style grand plan. The writers found the perfect balance between keeping a story going and making changes to keep the network and viewers happy. The advantages are clear from how B5 played out -- JMS has talked a lot about having a "back door" for every character to preserve the arc, but whenever he had to use one, the execution was weird and jarring. To be fair, there was nothing he could've done about losing his original commander (it wasn't the network like we all thought -- he's recently revealed what really happened). Having to replace Sisko would have gutted DS9 just as much. Quote:

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied -- chains us all, irrevocably."
(Side note: I used this as an audition piece for the play I'm in. Telling you which play might be a bit of a giveaway, so I'll wait until after someone guesses it.)

No takers? That's Picard in "The Drumhead", quoting Admiral Norah Satie's father. It's a great speech, although if you take him at his word he's arguing for anarchy. (If I'm not free to punch you and take your wallet, nobody's free at all!) ObSelfPromotion: I made fun of it in this fiver.
While we're on the topic of characters quoting mentors saying lofty idealistic things: "Challenge your preconceptions or they'll challenge you." Bonus points for identifying both quoter and quotee.

I got cast as the science teacher on trial, which is an astounding coincidence since I teach science in real life. There isn't much acting required, especially on the line where he moans about not having a job.

"Challenge your preconceptions or they'll challenge you."
Trip quoting his Vulcan science teacher (biology, maybe?). My turn, and I'll make it a two-hander: "Stop breathing down my neck!" "My breathing is merely a simulation." "So is my neck. Stop it anyway!"

"The Die is Cast"? Sounds kind of Garak/Odo.
