Gowron continues to be iconic, but not so much iconic as Gowron's eyes.Favorite underrated aspect of the show: How much Benjamin Sisko very obviously missed his calling as a stage actor. Sure, part of this is Avery Brooks being Avery Brooks, but the added joy and sheer gusto he brings to every scene where he's pretending to someone else is routinely my favorite part of every episode it happens in (whether it's his mirror universe self, a social activist/terrorist*, or some rando klingon) is absolutely a character choice and <chef's kiss>Best Season 4 episode I'm sure the fandom mostly hates: Little Green MenI love everything about this; the rogue's gallery of Area 51-themed character actors, including the secretary/scientist who are speed-running their own sci-fi love story, the hardass general talking about Truman: "that little piano-playing democrat isn't as dumb as he looks!" Also the best callback in the series so far and since:Nog: <looking at an Earth history book> Doesn't this hu-mon from the 21st century look a lot like Captain Sisco*?Quark: Eh, all hu-mons look the same</blockquote>
