Thank you everyone, I very much appreciate all the well wishes. Now that its over let's never mention it again.

My girlfriend is taking me to Reno for 2 days of rest and relaxation as my gift.

DS9 Season III Episode #63 Distant Voices

Background and Inside Information
The working title of this episode was "Too Many Rooms". Joe Menosky's original idea didn't feature regular cast members in Bashir's fantasy, instead, different actors played different aspects of Bashir's life, such as 'Youth', 'Age', 'Joy' etc. The idea to set the fantasy on the station and use the regular cast was Ronald D. Moore's. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)

Several other episodes featured a similar makeup process by which a character ages, such as VOY: "Before and After", but DS9's was the only one to be nominated for or win an Emmy.

Despite the fact that Bashir was an avid tennis player in his youth, this is the only episode of DS9 in which we see Bashir actually playing tennis. Inferring from Garak's "your service" line that Garak was serving, Bashir won the abbreviated match love-fifteen.

Much as director Corey Allen did in a scene in the episode "The Circle", director Alexander Singer shot the scene in the wardroom in one continuous uninterrupted take. When the episode was edited together, the scene was intercut with various close-ups and reverse angles, but the master shot of the scene was filmed as one long take. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)

This episode serves to link up the first season episode "Q-Less" and the fifth season episode "Doctor Bashir, I Presume". In "Q-Less", Bashir relates for the first time the story about mixing up a pre-ganglionic fiber and a post-ganglionic nerve in his final exams, a mistake which cost him his position as valedictorian in his medical class. In this episode however, Altovar points out that a pre-ganglionic fiber and a post-ganglionic nerve are nothing alike, and he speculates that perhaps Bashir mixed them up on purpose precisely so he wouldn't finish top of his class. This is confirmed in the episode "Doctor Bashir, I Presume", where we discover that Bashir is genetically enhanced, but has been as pains to conceal this fact his entire life. His deliberate mistake in the exam was an example of this concealment.

Although it later became an element in Bashir's attempts to conceal his genetic enhancements, the writers hadn't developed that concept yet, so the reason it was pointed out in this episode that a pre-ganglionic fiber and a post-ganglionic nerve are nothing alike was pressure from Celeste Wolfe, Robert Hewitt Wolfe's wife. According to Wolfe, ever since Bashir first told that story his wife had been bugging him to do something about it. In reality a pre-ganglionic fiber and a post-ganglionic nerve really are completely different, and as Celeste (a pre-vet) pointed out, no one would ever mix them up. As such, Wolfe explains, having Altovar point this out "was my way of saying, 'Well okay' to Celeste." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)

I meant the post-Superbowl ep where House had to diagnose the woman via webcam in Antarctica. I cannot describe how much I love that ep, and I really hope the character comes back, there's a lot of potential there.

That was an awesome episode! It's my favourite one of the past couple seasons.

After the Large Hadron Collider experiment: Big Bang 2, time machine, stargate for Satan?

Even if it does succeed in creating black holes (which I hope it does, since that would only happen if multiple spacial dimensions exist), such a black hole would be tiny. And even if we're utterly wrong about the extremely short lifespan of such a black hole (it would instantly evaporate), it would be too small to do anything.

An example of how small such a black hole would be: it would be the same size in comparison to a proton (one of the particles that makes up the nucleus of atoms) as a proton is in comparison to the Milky Way. Now imagine a black hole the size of a proton attempting to eat the entire Milky Way galaxy, all 100,000 light years of it, plus the galactic halo. Sounds ludicrous, right? That's how hard it would be for a black hole created by the LHC to eat a SINGLE PROTON. Not even a whole atom, but a single proton.

I think it is hilarious.

I'm the same age as you meathead. And I could out run, out swim, out lift and kick your azz.

Should I mention that I once dated your now lovely wife, I don't think you really want her to start comparing notes now do we my friend.

I won $3200 playing Texas Hold'em last night. I swear I could make it as a professional card player if I dedicated myself.

Interesting, I almost like the sound of this concept better than what we got with Distant Voices.

Several other episodes featured a similar makeup process by which a character ages, such as VOY: "Before and After", but DS9's was the only one to be nominated for or win an Emmy.

That's right DS9 did win an Emmy for this episode. Bashir did look quite authentic (compared to most actors made to look aged through make-up).

LOL but scary at the sametime.
