5. In the original "Star Trek" episode "Mirror, Mirror," audiences were introduced to the "mirror universe," in which the Federation was an evil assemblage of conquerors and despots.

9. The third season episode "Meridian" featured a planet that, like the mythical Brigadoon, only existed in the discernible universe for a short time every sixty years or so. A "DS9" character fell in love with a citizen of Meridian, and wound up with a broken heart by the end of the episode. Which character?
10. The fourth season episode "Rejoined" broke new ground for the "Star Trek" franchise. It featured the first full-on, no-holds-barred, no-camera-tricks-involved same-sex makeout scene between two women in any "Trek" series -- specifically, Jadzia Dax and a woman who, in one of Dax's previous lives, was her spouse. The actress playing Dax's newly-rediscovered lover later played a role on "Star Trek: Voyager." What was it?

12. Early in the series, Sisko had a security chief assigned by Starfleet, one Michael Eddington (Kenneth Marshall). Eddington eventually turned out to be a treasonous Maquis agent, and something of a nemesis for Sisko. In the fifth season episode "For the Uniform," Eddington makes a reference to two characters from a famous work of literature as an analogy for his relationship, as he sees it, with Sisko. Who wrote this work of literature?
13. In one of my favorite episodes, "Children of Time," most of the Deep Space Nine crew stumbles into a highly unusual time-travel situation in which a planet is inhabited by hundreds of their future descendants. Sisko is faced with a difficult decision: if he "repeats history" in such a way that those descendants are to come into being, a member of his crew has to die. Which crewmember?
14. In the fifth season premiere, "Apocalypse Rising," which DS9 crewmember was NOT surgically altered to look like a Klingon?
15. We learn in the fifth season that one of the regular characters was genetically altered as a child. Which one?
16. During the last two seasons of the show, a shady character named Sloan (William Sadler) plagued the DS9 crew. Sloan was a part of a top-secret, "black ops" branch of Starfleet Intelligence. This agency had an innocuous enough name, though. Finish it with the proper two-digit number: Section ____.
17. From the third season onward, the DS9 crew was constantly on the lookout for changelings (Odo's people) disguised as friends and comrades. In the fifth season episode "In Purgatory's Shadow," audiences were shocked to learn that, in several prior episodes, a main character had actually been a changeling! Which character?
18. In the highly imaginative sixth season episode "Far Beyond the Stars," Sisko has hallucinations -- or are they actual time travel experiences? -- in which he is a struggling science fiction writer in 1950's New York. What was his last name in this "reality"?
19. In the sixth season episode "The Reckoning," an ancient Bajoran prophecy comes true, and a Prophet faces off against a Pah-Wraith in what would have been the "ultimate battle."

Which two characters were "possessed" in order for the supernatural beings to engage in mystical battle on the Promenade of Deep Space Nine?

21. When the series began, Vedek Winn (Louise Fletcher) was a perpetual thorn in the side of Sisko, Kira, and the rest of the "DS9" crew. A "Vedek," in the Bajoran religion, is roughly analagous to a priest or a monk; Winn, however, sought the title of "Kai," the actual leader of the Bajoran religion, perhaps analagous to a Pope. In which season did Winn realize her goal and become the Kai of Bajor?
22. Worf, the popular Klingon officer from "Star Trek: The Next Generation," eventually joined the cast of "Deep Space Nine." For how many of the series' seven seasons was Worf a regular cast member?

Sisko immediately renames the ship "Defiant," in order to keep the tradition, but that was not the commissioned name of the vessel. What was this ship originally called, before Sisko changed it?
24. Here's one for you romantics out there.

25. And finally, in the last episode of the series ("What You Leave Behind"), the last image we see is that of two characters looking out a window of Deep Space Nine. Which two characters are the last people we see before the closing credits roll on the final episode of this superlative series?
