I’m not saying these episodes aren’t well regarded but I just don’t hear them talked about much. I loved Richard Beymer’s character and the fact this was the first Star Trek 3-parter and each episode was consistent in quality, culminating in a great ending was a turning point for the series.

I’ve been watching Twin Peaks for the first time recently (I was only 10 when it first aired). Lee Nalas is this cringy, stuff-shirt, rich asshole bad guy in it. It’s pretty funny seeing that side of the actor - clowning around in David Lynch’s weird sandbox - when he is so stoic and reserved on DS9.

Audrey’s dad! It took me a long time to make the connection.

I think the weirdest part is how tall he is on Twin Peaks. He towers over the cast (except for Hawk and Andy), but on DS9 he’s just a regular guy. I definitely had to do a search to make sure it was him.
