If one thing is true, it’s that Star Trek will make the most complicated story to explain a cast members pregnancy.

The top 31 spookiest Star Trek episodes (according to the Internet)

It's spooky season and I'm also a Star Trek nerd and a list nerd, so here we go!

I asked in a Star Trek discord, ran a bunch of searches, and assigned a point each time an episode was listed among the scariest/creepiest in Star Trek. The episodes are ranked from least to most spooky, so watch in this order if you want to build up to the spookiest stuff. I cut off the list at 31, one episode for each day in October.

So without further ado...

Spookiest episodes of Star Trek*:

* There was a 12-way tie for the final 8 slots, so the final 8 in the first list are randomly selected from among those 12 episodes.

** PRO did not make an appearance on any of the lists I found, so I selected an episode that felt most appropriate. Other series only had one suggested episode and are in the list by default.

HE WAS LITERALLY LET ON THE MISSION TO BE A NUISANCE

ds9 s4 finale really has it all like worf/dax argu-flirting. quodo argu-flirting that quickly turned into quark genuinely expressing his desire to see odo home safe. garak begging julian for attention and then telling worf that he's gonna blow up the planet julian is on but it's fine it's a worthwhile sacrifice. kira's little sneezes

#AND SOLID ODO! #seriously the... way quarks tone of voice changed when he said 'so you ARE coming back?' #and then odo saying 'u can count on it' and quark replying 'i will.' IM SICK TO MY STOMACH! #ds9 4x25 #beau watches ds9 #dont even fucking get me started on the kira/keiko/miles polycule that was established in 4x24. holy shit

Of all the characters in Trek, only Julian Bashir would absent mindedly skip a stone across the Great Link

Where in the galaxy is Keiko O’Brien?

I keep getting confused about when Keiko is on the station and when she’s away, and sometimes I get a plotbunny and then realise that she’s not even there at that time. When I sat down to look at it, I realised I have way too much knowledge about this, so here it is - all of Keiko’s known movements during Deep Space Nine. I’ve double-checked everything I remembered on Chakoteya and Memory Alpha. I can’t guarantee I haven’t missed something, but if I have, it’s on the level of going away for part of an episode. 

I hope this is useful for fic-writing and other endeavours!

1x01 The Emissary Keiko arrives to DS9 along with the Enterprise. She talks about taking Molly and going back to Earth, but then doesn’t. 

1x01-2x202 Keiko is on DS9. 

2x03 The Siege  Keiko and other civilians are evacuated from DS9, and are to the taken to the Korat system. However, the first shuttle with evacuees comes back at the end of the episode, so they may not even have made it to the Korat system before turning away. 

2x04 Invasive Procedures Everyone but a skeleton crew is evacuated due to a plasma storm. She is back on the station by the next episode. 

2x05-2x22 - On DS9

2x22 The Wire She is away at a hydroponics conference on Rigel Four for more than a week. 

2x23-3x03 On DS9.

Two weeks after 3x03 The House of Quark Keiko leaves for the expedition to the Janitza Mountains, taking Molly with her. Miles tells her in 3x03 that the expedition starts in two weeks. It’s unclear how big the gap between 3x03 and 3x04 is, as neither episode has a stardate, so it’s hard to say if she’s gone by 3x04. However, Miles does not appear in 3x04, so we could theorise that he’s helping her get everything ready and follow her down to Bajor (because you know Miles would fuss over that kind of thing). 

3x06-3x09 On Bajor.

3x10 Fascination Keiko and Molly come to visit DS9 for the Gratitude Festival, staying for two days. 

3x11-4x16 On Bajor. In Fascination she says she will be away two or three months longer. I lean towards this being longer than that. We know Keiko spends one night at DS9, at which point she gets pregnant. This could be the same time as Fascination, but I don’t think so, as they would have had to decide that they were going to try for a baby, and that is not something they talk about in Fascination (as at that point they almost break up). Furthermore, this must have been something that is planned ahead more. From events in s7, we know that Sisko takes a contraceptive shot once a month, and it seems possible or even likely that Miles is on something similar. That means that he has to go off it, and it also explains why he’s surprised she’s pregnant, because she says “I thought it’d take a couple of nights. To be honest, a lot more nights.” (That is partly just that he wants to have sex with his wife, but if he’s just stopped taking contraceptives, that might explain that further.) On top of all this, I have calculated (from when I wrote my Keiko/Kira fic) that Keiko is eight or nine weeks pregnant in Accession. (This was based on chronological markers within the episodes of s4 and counting backwards from Body Parts. Kira is pregnant for five months, so it’d be logical that Keiko is four months gone in Body Parts, and stuff in the episodes between Accession and Body Parts makes a two-month gap likely.) 

4x17 Accession The expedition having ended, Keiko is back on the station. 

4x17-4x25 On DS9. 

4x25 Body Parts Goes to Torad V in the gamma quadrant for three days together with Bashir and Kira. 

4x26-5x05 On DS9.

5x05 The Assignment Goes on an expedition to the Five Caves for five days. (Comes back possessed by a pah-wraith - man, she needs to stop going to places with ‘five’ in their name...) 

5x06-5x25 On DS9.

Two days before 5x26 Call to Arms Leaves the station to live on Earth together with Molly as the war is heating up.

5x26-6x24 On Earth. Memory Alpha says she is gone almost a year, and often, a series is about a year, but in 6x16 Miles mentions that she has been gone for six months, so it might be shorter. There is no mention that I can find that she was away a full year.

Before 6x24 Time’s Orphan Comes back to DS9. Considering the conversations in the beginning of this episode, it sounds like they have gotten back the day before or so. 

6x24-7x26 On DS9.

7x26 What You Leave Behind Moves to Earth with her family.

“Look at them, brother. And you thought you had no assets.” “Sisko, Dax, Bashir, Morn? They're my assets?” “To name a few.” Quark looks at his brother. Maybe he's right... maybe these people -- the Federation Hew-mons, Bajorans and Trills are what he can count on. “I guess you're right.” And to Quark, that thought has horrifying implications. “I need a drink.”

#4x25 Body Parts #count on it #script #(yes that's what the stage directions say) #(it's so important to Quark for him to be able to count on people) #(loyalty. lack of change.) #(even though he DOESNT admit this) #(and w ferengi society it's mostly proven that you CANT count on anyone) #(every ear troll for himself (yes. him)) #(but here? DS9? quark finds a place where this isn't true) #(he can count on ds9) #(this is the first time he realizes that) #brother #(and rom is so smart gosh ilu bb) #(anyway tag novel but i fuckin love this episode)

STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE // S4E25 Body Parts Look, I've broken the contract, so do your job. Take my assets, revoke my Ferengi business licence, do whatever you have to do, then get out. And if I ever see you walk into my bar again... Yes? You won't walk out.

GINT: You have to break the contract with Brunt. QUARK: You got to be joking. You're Gint. You wrote the Rules of Acquisition. The sacred precepts upon which all Ferengi society is based. You of all people can't expect me to break them. GINT: Why not? They're just rules. They're written in a book, not carved in stone. And even if they were in stone, so what? A bunch of us just made them up. QUARK: Are you saying they don't matter? GINT: Of course they matter. That's why they're a best-seller. But we're talking about your life here.

#4x25 Body Parts #(quark's big religious crisis) #(oh honey ditch the rules..... everything in ds9 comes back to that doesn't in) #(when do you break the rules... who's rules do you play by... when do you uphold them) #nagus #rule of acquisition
