Star Trek DSN List of Lists
Star Trek DSN List of Lists
compiled by Mark Holtz
(Revised November 7, 1993)
DISCLAIMER: "Star Trek", and all other related items are copyright and
trademarks of Paramount Communications. Any infringement of these lists on
Paramount's legitimate copyright and trademarks is purely unintentional, and
will be corrected upon proper notification. These lists are for the enjoyment
of the reader only, and may not be sold.
This is the Star Trek DSN List of Lists. It contains a listing of all the
episodes for "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" TV series, plus some added notes.
(Due to length considerations, there is a separate TOS/TAS, Movies, and TNG
List of Lists). Due to my class schedule, I am only able to update the lists
when I get the chance.
If you are wondering why I compile these lists, it is strictly out of the
enjoyment of "Star Trek", and the wealth of information from fellow Star Trek
fans who post on the electronic networks. After being irritated by the
ever-constant requests for episode lists on Usenet, I decided in the middle of
1990 to post a list of episodes on a regular basis. It soon grew from that,
and, with the contributions of other people, these lists grew to what you see
today. (And they're still growing). The only payment I ask is thanks and
contributions. I am not making a dime off these compilations.
Did you know: In PDP-11 assembly language, there was a set of instructions
that were specifically implemented for making linked lists. A linked list is a
list that points to either another list or a piece of data. In the instruction
manuals I read, these were referred to as "lists of lists" (unless, of course,
the linked list pointed only to data). (Thanks to Paul Hoffman)

new enemy are tentatively called "the Dominion."

Syndication Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The production code # begins with 401 in order to prevent labeling errors with
the original Star Trek series and the Next Generation.
United States/Canada
-==================-
"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" is a syndicated program that is sold to each
individual station. It is not part of the FOX network, although many stations
that have purchased DSN are also part of FOX.
The first run episodes are uplinked to the local stations on the Saturday and
Sunday of the Satellite Date. This uplinking is done through Keystone
Communications (formerly WOLD Communications), through AT&T's Telstar 302
which is located at 85 degrees west. The program is uplinked at the following
times on Channel 3-Vertical Polarity (aka Transponder 2V):
Saturdays - 10:00 AM-11:00 AM ET/ 7:00 AM- 8:00 AM PT
Saturdays - 4:00 PM- 5:00 PM ET/ 1:00 PM- 2:00 PM PT
Sundays - 4:00 PM- 5:00 PM ET/ 1:00 PM- 2:00 PM PT
The audio carriers are wide-band, and are: 6.2-left, 6.8-right, and 5.8-mono.
No scrambling is employed in the uplink.
The satellite feeds were originally carried on AT&T's Telstar 301, which was
located 96 degrees west, on Channel 9-Vertical Polarity (aka Transponder 5V,
Uplink Freq. 6265MHz, Downlink Freq. 4040MHZ, Block IF Freq. 1110, transponder
power 8.5 watts). Telstar 301 was originally launched on July 28, 1983 on a
Delta 3920 rocket, but, in 1993, the satellite ran out of station keeping
fuel, and was unable to maintain it's orbital slot. On August 30th, all of
Paramount's feeds have been temporarily moved to Telstar 302, located 85
degrees west, with the Star Trek feeds located on Channel 3-Vertical Polarity
(aka Transponder 2V, Uplink Freq. 5985MHz, Downlink Freq. 3760MHz, Block IF
Freq. 1390, transponder power 8.5 watts). Telstar 302 was launched on
September 1, 1984 from the Space Shuttle. The feeds will be moving again to
Telstar 401 when it is launched on General Dynamics Atlas IIAS booster on
December 13, 1993. (Launch date subject to change)
The station then airs the episode for the first time anytime during
Paramount's official "week of" (Monday through Sunday), although some stations
(notably Paramount owned ones) are able to show episodes the Sunday prior to
the week-of, but that requires special permission from Paramount.
England/United Kingdom
-====================-
Sky Television has purchased the rights to the series and will be showing it
starting August 15th. Sky, however, is now scrambled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is seen that people are buying food, drinks, time in the holosuites, and
gambling, using gold-pressed latnium.
"Past Prologue" - Garek wants Dr. Bashier to buy a new suit.
Did You Know...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...Siddig El Fadil was originally considered to be Commander Sisko after the
producers viewed "A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia"? However, after the
producers found that Siddig was only 24, he was instead cast as Dr. Julian
Bashier.
...The current ruler of the Sudan is Brigadier Omar Hassam Ahmen Bashir, an
Islamic fundamental fanatic who took over in June, 1989 in a military coup and
has been in charge of a reign of terror since. To top things off, the ruler is
a distant relative to Siddig (unconfirmed that he's Siddig's uncle-in-law).
No, Siddig does not like him.
...The pilot episode cost $12 million.
...In "If Wishes Were Horses", there was originally supposed to be a
leprechaun, but Colm Meany objected, saying that it stereotyped O'Brien as the
typical Irishman. So the script was rewritten to have Rumpelstiltskin instead.
...Armin Shimerman and Max Grodenchik were the final candidates for the role of Quark.
Max got the role of Rom. If Max had got the role, Armin would have been Rom.
...Morn used to be called the Grinch among the crew.
..."The Homecoming", "The Circle", and "The Siege", portraying the fictional
political struggle on Bajor, was uplinked and aired at the same time Boris
Yeltzin had his political struggle with the Russian Parliment.
In-Jokes
~~~~~~~~
A Man Alone - When Odo checks a monitor for information regarding the Bajoran
criminal, one of the names that appears on the monitor is Robert della
Santina, Unit Production Manager.
Babel - When Kira calls up some medical records, she finds the name "Surmak
Ren", a slight corruption of Ron Surma, Star Trek's casting director. When a
detailed biography was called up, the names "Surmak Hoek" and "Surmak
Stimpson" (Ren and Stimpy). Also, Surmak Ren was employed at "The Akira
Advanced Genetics Research Facility, Bajor". (Akira)
The Nagus - Rom gets chewed out for putting the Hoek's next to another race.
(Ren and Stimpy)
Invasive Procedures - In a conversation between Verad Dax and Sisko, there was
a mention of the cliffs of Bole. This is thanks to Cliff Bole, a frequent
director of TNG and DSN, as well as several episodes of MacGyver.
Background
-========-
Ren and Stimpy is a cult favorite cartoon that airs on Nickelodeon. The
animation studio is located at 5625 Melrose Ave., right near Paramount.
Operation SNAFU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Opening Credits - During the opening credit sequence, we see a comet passing
by. The tail should be pointed away from the sun, however, when the camera
passes through the tail, we don't see the sun.
The Trill Makeup - The production crew screwed up with the makeup of the
Trill. In the TNG episode, "The Host", Odan is seen with a V-shaped nose
ridge. However, this ridge is missing on Dax. In addition, the crew added on
the "leapard" spots, which ware used on Kamala in "The Perfect Mate". The
change was due to the producers not liking the prostetics on Terry Farrell.
"Past Prologue" - On the Runabout that Kira and Tana were on, they got into an
argument and Tana pulled one of 2 phasers off of the wall. Yet when Sisko
captured the Runabout, both of the phasers were gone. (UV)
"Move Along Home" - In the TNG episode "The First Duty", Picard emphasized to
Wesley that the first duty of a Starfleet officer was to the truth. Yet, in
this episode, Sisko says that the first duty of a Starfleet officer was first
contact.
"Battle Lines" - Did you notice how the doctor stated that upon entry of the
atmosphere that the Runabout hull reached a temperature of 1500 degrees
Celcius? Yet, when he got out of the shuttle a couple of minutes later
everyone touched the side of the hull? Ouch! (UV)
"Dramatis Personae" - In the cargo bay, Sisko's communicator re-appears for a
take, then disappears again.
"The Homecoming" - Kira's earring disappears for a minute, then reappears.
"The Homecoming"/"The Circle" - In "The Homecoming", O'Brien says that he can
only beam up two people at a time. Yet, in "The Circle", we see a whole group
beaming down and up again. Hmmmm....

This is the Star Trek DSN List of Lists. It contains a listing of all the
episodes for "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" TV series, plus some added notes.
(Due to length considerations, there is a separate TOS/TAS, Movies, and TNG
List of Lists). Due to my class schedule, I am only able to update the lists
when I get the chance.
If you are wondering why I compile these lists, it is strictly out of the
enjoyment of "Star Trek", and the wealth of information from fellow Star Trek
fans who post on the electronic networks. After being irritated by the
ever-constant requests for episode lists on Usenet, I decided in the middle of
1990 to post a list of episodes on a regular basis. It soon grew from that,
and, with the contributions of other people, these lists grew to what you see
today. (And they're still growing). The only payment I ask is thanks and
contributions. I am not making a dime off these compilations.
Did you know: In PDP-11 assembly language, there was a set of instructions
that were specifically implemented for making linked lists. A linked list is a
list that points to either another list or a piece of data. In the instruction
manuals I read, these were referred to as "lists of lists" (unless, of course,
the linked list pointed only to data). (Thanks to Paul Hoffman)

Syndication Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The production code # begins with 401 in order to prevent labeling errors with
the original Star Trek series and the Next Generation.
United States/Canada
-==================-
"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" is a syndicated program that is sold to each
individual station. It is not part of the FOX network, although many stations
that have purchased DSN are also part of FOX.
The first run episodes are uplinked to the local stations on the Saturday and
Sunday of the Satellite Date. This uplinking is done through Keystone
Communications (formerly WOLD Communications), through AT&T's Telstar 302
which is located at 85 degrees west. The program is uplinked at the following
times on Channel 3-Vertical Polarity (aka Transponder 2V):
Saturdays - 10:00 AM-11:00 AM ET/ 7:00 AM- 8:00 AM PT
Saturdays - 4:00 PM- 5:00 PM ET/ 1:00 PM- 2:00 PM PT
Sundays - 4:00 PM- 5:00 PM ET/ 1:00 PM- 2:00 PM PT
The audio carriers are wide-band, and are: 6.2-left, 6.8-right, and 5.8-mono.
No scrambling is employed in the uplink.
The satellite feeds were originally carried on AT&T's Telstar 301, which was
located 96 degrees west, on Channel 9-Vertical Polarity (aka Transponder 5V,
Uplink Freq. 6265MHz, Downlink Freq. 4040MHZ, Block IF Freq. 1110, transponder
power 8.5 watts). Telstar 301 was originally launched on July 28, 1983 on a
Delta 3920 rocket, but, in 1993, the satellite ran out of station keeping
fuel, and was unable to maintain it's orbital slot. On August 30th, all of
Paramount's feeds have been temporarily moved to Telstar 302, located 85
degrees west, with the Star Trek feeds located on Channel 3-Vertical Polarity
(aka Transponder 2V, Uplink Freq. 5985MHz, Downlink Freq. 3760MHz, Block IF
Freq. 1390, transponder power 8.5 watts). Telstar 302 was launched on
September 1, 1984 from the Space Shuttle. The feeds will be moving again to
Telstar 401 when it is launched on General Dynamics Atlas IIAS booster on
December 13, 1993. (Launch date subject to change)
The station then airs the episode for the first time anytime during
Paramount's official "week of" (Monday through Sunday), although some stations
(notably Paramount owned ones) are able to show episodes the Sunday prior to
the week-of, but that requires special permission from Paramount.
England/United Kingdom
-====================-
Sky Television has purchased the rights to the series and will be showing it
starting August 15th. Sky, however, is now scrambled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is seen that people are buying food, drinks, time in the holosuites, and
gambling, using gold-pressed latnium.
"Past Prologue" - Garek wants Dr. Bashier to buy a new suit.
Did You Know...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...Siddig El Fadil was originally considered to be Commander Sisko after the
producers viewed "A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia"? However, after the
producers found that Siddig was only 24, he was instead cast as Dr. Julian
Bashier.
...The current ruler of the Sudan is Brigadier Omar Hassam Ahmen Bashir, an
Islamic fundamental fanatic who took over in June, 1989 in a military coup and
has been in charge of a reign of terror since. To top things off, the ruler is
a distant relative to Siddig (unconfirmed that he's Siddig's uncle-in-law).
No, Siddig does not like him.
...The pilot episode cost $12 million.
...In "If Wishes Were Horses", there was originally supposed to be a
leprechaun, but Colm Meany objected, saying that it stereotyped O'Brien as the
typical Irishman. So the script was rewritten to have Rumpelstiltskin instead.
...Armin Shimerman and Max Grodenchik were the final candidates for the role of Quark.
Max got the role of Rom. If Max had got the role, Armin would have been Rom.
...Morn used to be called the Grinch among the crew.
..."The Homecoming", "The Circle", and "The Siege", portraying the fictional
political struggle on Bajor, was uplinked and aired at the same time Boris
Yeltzin had his political struggle with the Russian Parliment.
In-Jokes
~~~~~~~~
A Man Alone - When Odo checks a monitor for information regarding the Bajoran
criminal, one of the names that appears on the monitor is Robert della
Santina, Unit Production Manager.
Babel - When Kira calls up some medical records, she finds the name "Surmak
Ren", a slight corruption of Ron Surma, Star Trek's casting director. When a
detailed biography was called up, the names "Surmak Hoek" and "Surmak
Stimpson" (Ren and Stimpy). Also, Surmak Ren was employed at "The Akira
Advanced Genetics Research Facility, Bajor". (Akira)
The Nagus - Rom gets chewed out for putting the Hoek's next to another race.
(Ren and Stimpy)
Invasive Procedures - In a conversation between Verad Dax and Sisko, there was
a mention of the cliffs of Bole. This is thanks to Cliff Bole, a frequent
director of TNG and DSN, as well as several episodes of MacGyver.
Background
-========-
Ren and Stimpy is a cult favorite cartoon that airs on Nickelodeon. The
animation studio is located at 5625 Melrose Ave., right near Paramount.
Operation SNAFU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Opening Credits - During the opening credit sequence, we see a comet passing
by. The tail should be pointed away from the sun, however, when the camera
passes through the tail, we don't see the sun.
The Trill Makeup - The production crew screwed up with the makeup of the
Trill. In the TNG episode, "The Host", Odan is seen with a V-shaped nose
ridge. However, this ridge is missing on Dax. In addition, the crew added on
the "leapard" spots, which ware used on Kamala in "The Perfect Mate". The
change was due to the producers not liking the prostetics on Terry Farrell.
"Past Prologue" - On the Runabout that Kira and Tana were on, they got into an
argument and Tana pulled one of 2 phasers off of the wall. Yet when Sisko
captured the Runabout, both of the phasers were gone. (UV)
"Move Along Home" - In the TNG episode "The First Duty", Picard emphasized to
Wesley that the first duty of a Starfleet officer was to the truth. Yet, in
this episode, Sisko says that the first duty of a Starfleet officer was first
contact.
"Battle Lines" - Did you notice how the doctor stated that upon entry of the
atmosphere that the Runabout hull reached a temperature of 1500 degrees
Celcius? Yet, when he got out of the shuttle a couple of minutes later
everyone touched the side of the hull? Ouch! (UV)
"Dramatis Personae" - In the cargo bay, Sisko's communicator re-appears for a
take, then disappears again.
"The Homecoming" - Kira's earring disappears for a minute, then reappears.
"The Homecoming"/"The Circle" - In "The Homecoming", O'Brien says that he can
only beam up two people at a time. Yet, in "The Circle", we see a whole group
beaming down and up again. Hmmmm....
