10 Funniest Star Trek Episodes
10. Quark The Suave - Looking For Par'Mach In All The Wrong Places
There's a lot to love in this fifth season entry from Deep Space Nine. Worf is still the brooding badass that was introduced a season earlier and the seeds of his relationship with Dax have been sown. However, when Grilka, the fearsome leader of her own house, arrives on the station Worf is bewitched by her enchanting presence. He resolves to find out as much as he can about her, already infatuated with this woman. He follows her and...finds out she's Quark's wife.
Yes, this is the episode where Quark bests Worf in the matter of Klingon love and its spectacular. Having already won her heart in a previous episode, Quark is tasked with providing her with a divorce, with all of the romance that goes along with that.
And through several jolly old occurances, he finds himself fighting for the right to impress her. Naturally, were it a normal week, he'd be a dead man. So Worf, heartsick, steps in to help - and Dax, equally heartsick, agrees to help, ignoring her own feelings for Worf.
It's a classic Star Trek rom-com, with Klingons, Trill and Ferengi to beat the band. The episode doesn't feed into the larger plot as a whole - it is simply an upbeat and cheerful bottle episode, one of a surprising number of them on Deep Space Nine.
