Uh-huh.okay...it is you say..got it.

Friends, I've just been told I mis-atrributed this scene to DS9 when it is in fact from TNG. I'd like to offer my sincerest "regerts" about this. I have several thousand of these and life and details, you know, whereas, and whatnot.

@nocontexttrek I guess you need coffee: Jamaican blend, double strong, double sweet.

@nocontexttrek

This is me, waiting to pick up my 10 year old at dance class.

@nocontexttrek clearly, that's from TNG
@nocontexttrek πŸ˜‚ the definition of awkwardness, your wife turns into a little girl. πŸ˜‚
@nocontexttrek Black, double sweet. Engineer's drink.
@nocontexttrek the Chief is not Chuck Norris but we all still love him.
@D1g1talDrag0n *Chuck Norris is not the chief but we still love him
@nocontexttrek @D1g1talDrag0n the Chief invented Chuck Norris and sent him back in time so we got some awesomeness, too.
@nocontexttrek this is from β€œRascals" β€” seventh episode of the sixth season
@nocontexttrek You know, O'Brien wasn't in a *ton* of TNG episodes so I'm so much more used to seeing him in DS9. It's kind of eerie how young *he* looks in this scene too.
@nocontexttrek Keiko was kind of a bitch

@nocontexttrek This actress is Caroline Junko King, and she brings the gravitas and world-weariness of an adult to her character in a way the other child actors did not relay in their roles in the same episode.

Keiko is a grown woman suddenly trapped in a child's body and Caroline Junko King captures that perfectly. Her youth is a serious problem, for her and for her entire family.

@nocontexttrek even in tng O'Brien must suffer.
