    I like my Quark version:

    Quark tells Rom, "If I had a slip of latinum for variations on the "if I had a nickel" template in this post, I'd have two slips. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice."

    Seriously, though. Why do Quark and Doofenschmirtz give kind of the same vibes? I guess part of it is a Perry the Platypus dynamic with Odo.

    Refresh my memory on VOY. There’s the episode called “The Void” where they’re stuck in the void and have to re-create the wormholes to get out (and make a little Federation with the other trapped ships).

    What’s the other? The only one I can think of is the one with the psychic space whale, but I don’t recall it being called a void (and the Captain Ahab expy wasn’t native to the psychic space whale). Also, despite not remembering the finer points or the episode name, I did enjoy the psychic space whale episode.

    Which episode am I forgetting exists? lol

    Edit: Is “Night” the other episode?

      Yeah, The Void and Night were the two I was referring to. I’ve been rewatching with my kids and when we got to Night I thought “I really misremembered that episode”, then we just hit The Void and I realized I had them combined in my memory.

      I think there were actually three… One was that pocket dimension thing with the wormholes.

      One was the area of space the Malon were dumping their toxic warp waste. The waste and radiation created an expanse of space that blocked the stars. And there was that native species that was being killed by the waste but had adapted to the darkness.

      And then there was the section of space that was dark and many light-years across, again with some exotic radiation and most of the crew had to be put into stasis. Only the Doctor and Seven could be awake, but they started hallucinating like halfway through.

      It’s been a while since I went through my last rewatch though, I could be mixing some stuff up or those last two might have been the same episode and I’m splitting it up from memory.

        pocket dimension thing

        That’s “The Void”. I think we’re all in agreement that’s one of them.

        Malon were dumping their toxic warp waste

        That’s “Night” and I just remembered that one and edited it into my comment. So I guess that is the second one.

        the section of space that was dark and many light-years acros

        I’m pretty sure that was a nebula. “One” was the episode name, I think?

        I should prob throw VOY on in the background. Good enough excuse as any, right? lol

      I think this was also the plot of the first Elite Force game. Been a while tho and I’m not sure if it’s canon.
