    If Wishes Were Horses, aka "Robert Duncan McNeill spends an hour complaining about how he doesn't get "the rules" of aliens bringing imaginations to life". He spends so long on it that Farrell 'gently' tells him to get over it.

    Also, I was very amused at how RDM, Farrell, and Wang all try to figure out which bits of DS9 are which (in relation to where the sets are on the exterior shots), and managing to guess every single one wrong. Not that they should know, just funny to me that they didn't even get any right accidentally.

    I remember I had a very hard time figuring out where the promenade was when I watched the show for the first time, the round doors confused me, usually they indicate a docking port and they are sometimes used by people seemingly entering the station so I thought the promenade must be in the habitat ring and the doors led to one of the pads that are also used by the runabouts.

    Yeah they kind of ended up agreeing with each other that the central core is Ops, the docking ring is the Promenade, and that the living quarters are in the pylons. :D

    Totally. This is one of the things I love most about this pod: their attempts to figure out the Star Trek universe, and getting a ton of it wrong, which takes me back to my own days of first watching it and trying to figure it out and often getting it wrong. It's so endearing.

    I think Terry particularly has great pod co-host chemistry with Robbie and Garrett. They have that "hang out pod" vibe nailed, and I am here for it.

    I think early on I thought the inner core was ops too, it makes no sense because that would make the station tiny but it seemed to fit the shape of the set.:shrug:

    Okay, so not knowing the layout of DS9 is absolutely understandable. But there was a new doozy this week.
    Armin says that until now (so thirty-one years after starting DS9), he was always unsure if what Kira wears is a uniform or just her regular clothes. C'mon man! :rommie:

    He also struggles with the concept of Odo regenerating anywhere other than his pail, as though the pail has special properties or something.

    Very amusing.
