do not think avery brooks gets enough credit for the degree to which the frequent brilliance of ds9 and many of the bits most appreciated by fans today were his doing

I recently bought this audio cassette recording of the ‘Emissary’ novelisation read by Nana Visitor (Kira) - still in its original plastic from 1993 and essentially brand new. It took me an embarrassingly long time to work out how to insert a cassette tape properly and even longer to figure out how to rewind one so I could capture this video (turns out it’s not as simple as just pressing stop and then start again. This is what happens when you grow up in the CD/DVD era). Pretty cool, and I love that Visitor is the narrator.
