Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Once More Unto the Breach  Rewatch   Season 7, Ep 7

Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace; Leave gormandizing; know the grave doth gape For thee thrice wider than for other men. --From the works of the greatest playwright of the Klingon Empire, William Shakespeare [more inside]
