I’ve had #InThePaleMoonlight playing: #AveryBrooks’ performance as #Captain #BenSisko was riveting.

I don’t know if it’s the best episode of TV ever made.

But, much like #Sarek, #LiftUsWhereSufferingCannotReach and #CityOnTheEdgeOfForever, it’s one of the best episodes of #StarTrek.

No one is going to miss Tolar or Vreenak. Trust me.

"Computer...erase that entire personal log."

Which means that this episode should have been missing ever since its first broadcast 😄
Or the moment production wrapped 🤣 #AllStarTrek #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight

Well, the A-hole had it coming. And now the Romulans are now on board.

Win-win!

#AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight @startrek

An argument like that, at such volume, even behind closed doors...we've seen evidence of paper-thin walls throughout the station... #AllStarTrek #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight

And Vreenak didn't radio ahead with a report on the DS9 meeting? #allstartrek #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight

Here it is! The quote that launched a thousand memes!!

#AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight @startrek

Apparently, Tolar’s mastery of the data rod wasn’t all that.

#AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight @startrek

Vreenak: IT'S A FAKE!!
Sisko, nervous: are you 4imprint certain...?

#AllStarTrek #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight

"I'll be along later to say hello...

...and goodbye..." 😈 #AllStarTrek #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight

"We had an agreement!"
"And NOW we have a DISagreement!"

You know something is shady if it involves biomimetic gel.

#AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight @startrek

Yeah, if I thought the door could explode, I would stay as far from it as possible 🤣 #allstartrek #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight

Five bars of latinum is a lot. Quark’s business isn’t doing that well!

#AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight @startrek

Odo: he just tried to kill Quark.
Sisko: only "tried"? Dammit...

#allstartrek #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight

This guy was sketchy as heck. Should’ve been a red siren flashing and spinning out of control.

#AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight @startrek

So what you're saying, Garak, is that Sisko needs to tell the Senator...

#AllStarTrek #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight #StarWars

Garak had plan B up his sleeve but didn’t mention it to Sisko.

#AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight @startrek

You only turn to Garak when you know he’ll get the job done with or without any ethical considerations.

#InThePaleMoonlight is considered by many to be the darkest Trek ep ever, and more importantly, the one that challenges Gene Roddenberry's vision of a peaceful human future more than any other episode. It's exactly for this reason that many fans consider it Star Trek's finest hour. #AllStarTrek #DS9

Too bad Denise Crosby was never on #DS9, because I could totally see Sela saying Dax's lines in that "what if" conversation #AllStarTrek #InThePaleMoonlight

At the 50th Anniversary Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas in August 2016, this episode was voted by fans to be the 2nd best episode of the franchise, behind #TheCityOnTheEdgeOfForever #AllStarTrek #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight

The title of the ep was a ref to the phrase "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?" from 1989 Batman. Moore said he thought the phrase was much older until colleagues and fans kept asking him if he was making a Batman ref #AllStarTrek #DS9 #InThePaleMoonlight

A blue background with yellow text. The yellow text on the top two rows is framed on the lower left sides with red accents. It's in the style of Zohran Mamdani's campaign signs when running for mayor of New York City in 2025. The text reads: "So... I lied I cheated I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again - I would. Garak was right about one thing: a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it... Because I can live with it... I can live with it... Computer - erase that entire personal log." The quote is from the "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" episode "In the Pale Moonlight".

“It’s a FAKE!” And yet the lie saved lives.

“The Line We Crossed” is a symphonic metal reckoning with the most infamous compromise in Star Trek history.

Happy #InThePaleMoonlight Day!

I'm in it with you, and also totally pissed. With Friday's NIH notice capping grant applications, I wonder how long I'll be employed.

As a side note, I am a HUGE Garak fan. Literally have the T shirt.
We could use Garak right now, come to think of it...
#InThePaleMoonlight

With a seemingly legitimate data rod in one hand and dead Romulan senator in the other I ask you.. what conclusion would you draw?!
#DeepSpaceNine #InThePaleMoonlight
#StarTrek

#allstartrek probably my fave #ds9 " #inthepalemoonlight "

Dammit, of all nights to doze off just before #AllStarTrek and wake up halfway through... 😭
