Move Along Home

"Move Along Home" is the tenth episode of the first season of the American syndicated science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

In this episode, the Wadi, a group of aliens from the Gamma Quadrant, pay a visit to Deep Space Nine; they challenge the bartender Quark to play a board game in which the lives of the station's crew appear to be at stake.

Meanwhile, the station's senior officers Commander Sisko, Dr. Bashir, Major Kira, and Lt. Dax find themselves in a bizarre labyrinth.

On the third level they find themselves at a party in a room filling up with a deadly gas; only by drinking the partygoers' beverages can they survive.

As Sisko is about to angrily confront Falow over what they have experienced, Odo tells him that he would do better to talk with Quark about his attempt to cheat their guests.

[10] Avery Brooks, who played Commander Sisko, reported during a panel discussion at DragonCon in 2013 that this was one of his two least favourite episodes.

[12] Film-quality scans of scenes from this episode were shown in theaters in May 2019 in the documentary film about the series called What We Left Behind.

[14][13] On February 8, 1997 this episode was released on LaserDisc in Japan as part of the half-season box set 1st Season Vol.
