Right characters, wrong episode.

ETA: I am going to be offline for a week, so rather than leave everyone in the lurch, I'll just tell you it's from "One" and give Zeke the win.

Oops, I didn't see evay's edit. This forum does need a poke feature.

That's O'Brien from the episode where Garak isn't on the station to have lunch with Bashir. I think it's the one where Garak and Odo end up on the Tal Shiar/Obsidian Order Doomed Taskforce Of Doom. What the hell was that called?

Let's say Crossing the Rubicon.

You're so close I have to wonder if you're doing it on purpose. "The Die is Cast."

[Sa'ar Chasm]

It was one of those two, and I couldn't remember which one came first (I think Caesar declared the die was cast once he got to the other side, so he'd have to be in the process of crossing the Rubicon first).

Does that count as a correct guess, since you've given it away?

Edit: Actually, turns out I wasn't as right as I thought it was. For some reason I thought the two parters were called The Die Is Cast and Crossing the Rubicon (which are thematically linked), but it turns out there is no episode of DS9 called CtR (that's an episode of Beast Wars). The correct title of the other episode is Improbable Cause.

[Zeke]

Oh, it counts as a win. You were close enough.

My husband used to play some game in which you could in fact poke another monster-like (ogre?) character, and it would repeatedly growl "Stop poking me!" We still use this line occasionally, along with early Bart Simpson "Ow! Ka-wit it."

Of course, we also still use "Svimvear! Veddy nice." Five points to anyone who knows that reference.

"Some game"? That was Warcraft II. I think you're referring to the Orc Grunt.

The poke sequence went something like this:
Argh?
Yes?
Argh?
WHAAAAAAAAAT!
Stop poking me.
IwouldnotdosuchthingsifIwereyou.

The Alliance equivalent (Human footman) said things like "Are you still touching me?" and "Don't you have a kingdom to run?"

Mi amore goes through games pretty quickly. FPS, Civilization-type, space-based resources, they all look the same after a while. I'm sure he thinks the same thing about my various TV show crushes.

Yeah! That was it!
