10 Best Foreshadowing Moments In Star Trek

3. Clair de Lune

The clue is in the title. The rest of the foreshadowing is in the absence of the rest of the quote from Batman (1989). In the celebrated episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Captain Sisko would face his answer. "Tell me something, my friend. You ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

In the Pale Moonlight shows that the saints in paradise must flirt with the demons once in hell. The war raging, the casualty lists never-ending, Sisko is determined to do whatever it takes to bring the Romulans into the war. 

Of course, the devil was a metaphor for getting down and dirty with Garak. In the dance, Sisko risked not only losing his soul to win the war but losing the war altogether if the plan failed. Garak — plain, simple tailor — put a pin in it after the fact: "That's why you came to me, isn't it, Captain? Because you knew I could do those things that you weren't capable of doing." 

In other words, it always took two to tango.
