I am now a therapist on deep space nine and my job is to sort out the main cast. This is what would happen and how effective I have the potential to be based on their outlooks:

Sisko. Is annoyed about having to go. After session three he is name-dropping me in casual conversations with friends and thinks I am really clever but it's unclear how much of that is really just that I agree with his opinions. 9/10 point deducted because he treats me too much like a friend and too little like a therapist with a job.

Kira. Insists she does not need to go. Twenty minutes into session one she is describing the death of her father in intricate and pissed-off detail. 8/10 because any therapy at all is bound to be better than the status quo.

Dax. 10/10 but she does all the work herself and I begin to doubt why I am even in the room. Really just needs someone to talk at.

Julian. Lies to me the entire time. Asks me out at the end of session one and in a cruel twist of fate I am forced to turn him down in order to keep my job. Does not come back. 3/10

Jake. Talks to me about his dad and then talks to his dad about me and it kind of feels like I'm having a game of chess over the phone with the station captain. He doesn't really need therapy long-term but Sisko keeps making him go. I suggest switching to a by-demand schedule and tell them I am available whenever if something actually traumatic were to happen and Sisko pretends not to hear me. 6/10

O'Brien. Insists he does not need to go. Once he does he spends 40 minutes complaining about absolutely nothing and when I ask him to actually do something difficult he gets annoyed and walks out. Has to be reverse-psychologied into coming back. 5/10 but only because he has not done a single moment of introspection in his life and if I can't make him at least reflect on his own behaviour sometimes then I am a really shitty therapist. Points deducted because I hate him.

Worf. Insists he does not need to go but folds weirdly quickly when pressured. Insists it isn't working. He's lying. 8/10 I can work with that

Quark. Insists he does not need to go. Changes his mind to get out of some kind of scheme. Is crying 15 minutes into session one and gets so confused that someone seems to care about his feelings to such an extent that he forgets that it's like, my job, and not a personal favour I'm doing because I think he's cool or something. Asks me out at the end of session one. Comes back. 7/10 there's kind of a lot to break down here but I think I can do something about him

Nog. 10/10 and sometimes he brings me chocolates or an apple as gifts before the sessions. He argues that since the replicator is free to use this doesn't count as a gift and the only arguement we ever have is when I try to challenge him on that.

Odo. Promises to try things out of session and never does. Keeps asking me questions about the psyche of my other clients and whether or not they committed murder — notably Quark — and I refuse to answer. He thinks I'm evil because I keep client confidentiality and I think he's evil because he is a cop. Sisko has to ban him from my office. 2/10 and I don't know if it's his fault or mine.

Garak. whenever I try to email him to book a time there is mysteriously nobody by that name living on ds9 according to computer records. 0/10

Rom. forgets what I say two seconds after I say it. Hears what he wants to hear. 3/10 actual cartoon character

Dukat. he talks for an hour without letting me get a word in edgewise but little does he know I've bugged my office desk and this is all an elaborate ploy to get him to admit to seventeen separate war crimes. 10/10 sisko busts into the office and arrests him. Another great day's work.

DS9 characters rated by how well you could name a dog after them.

(For simplicity reasons I am splitting this into two posts for surnames and first names, this is surnames, first names will follow)

Sisko: 10.0/10, it's got a nice sound to it, two syllables, good nickname potential, could work on any breed I think. People could get the reference but it's subtle enough to fly under the radar, just the right balance between generic and nice for my taste, perfect name for a dog

Kira: I mean it's a solid name, which is most likely the reason every second female dog (hyberbole) is called Kira, so like a 5.0/10. Beautiful name, but its abundant use putsits score that low. Sorry to all dogs named Kira, ownersof dogs named Kira, Kira (the character) enthusiasts and of course Kira herself.

Bashir: 3.2/10, Also two syllables, but just doesn't have that nice ring to it. I also don't really see it on a dog, maybe on certain breeds or mixes of certain breeds.

Odo: Good, distinct name. 7.9. Loses points because I once had a dream where a hybrid out of him and one of my teachers played the antagonist. Also, knowing Odo, I couldn't imagine this name on any long coated or stubby dog.

O'Brien: 8.7, Good name, breed versatile but especially fitting for like a working or active dog. Most likely going to fly under the radar.

Dax: 9.5/10, just one syllable but otherwise the same as Sisko, except for maybe being a tad more recognisable as a reference PLUS it's gender neutral.

Worf: 4.1/10, sounds a bit silly. Thematically fitting for a bigger dog, funny for a small one, but not in an out of place way. Reference is obvious, you have both tng and ds9 fans on your side.

Quark: 2.1/10. Please don't name your dog Quark.

Rom: 2.6. Better than Quark but not by much.

Nog: 1.8. Don't.

Leeta: 10/10. Cute, suuuper breed versatile, unique yet simple. Even more subtle than Sisko, I just love that name so so much.

Garak: 6.0/10. Sounds a bit like the sound a frog makes or perhaps a dog puking (Good name if the dog has a weak stomach) .Definitely more on the obvious reference side, but could very easily get nickname'd into Gary.

Dukat: 7.8/10 just by the sound of it, but what did the puppy do to deserve that???

Winn: 0.9, Sounds bad and there's no crime a dog could ever commit to justify this name as punishment.
