s6e19 "Child's Play"
I wish I could tell you that Icheb fought the good fight, and the universe let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but Nu-Trek is no fairy-tale world.
Having recently rewatched that episode is what tipped me off. The discovery (heh) of his influence over the series warranted attention. Seeing Seven's transition from dismissal to admiration really made it special.
I was concerned it'd be something like this.
Title Episode Production number Stardate US release date
"Balance of Terror" 1x08 6149-09 1709.2–1709.6 1966-12-15
"Miri" 1x11 6149-12 2713.5–2717.3 1966-10-27
"The Menagerie, Part I" 1x15 6149-16A 3012.4–3012.6 1966-11-17
It's all manner of confusing, as trekcore lists it as 11, but imdb has it as 8.
edit: memory alpha also lists it as 11, but wiki says 8
In the episode "Best of Both Worlds" it's suggested to route power directly from the core to the deflector dish and use it as a weapon against the Borg. The gag is that instead of using the internal systems to channel power, they just strap the core's output to the dish.
Edit: also, apparently an anime reference as pointed out by @[email protected]
From Memory Alpha:
Of Remata'Klan's character, Morris opined, "I likened him to a samurai warrior who is loyal only to his feudal lord and that's how I played him. The Jem'Hadar are predisposed to have that loyalty; it's bred into them by the Vorta. His willingness to die despite Sisko's offer of an alternative is Remata'Klan's most honorable moment."
This reads like Deep Thoughts... by Jack Handey
What's more, his uncredited "Boy - Army Helmet" character in the TOS episode "Miri" was his first role.

s7e19 "Strange Bedfellows"
Worf has a real knack for this sort of thing.
If the last door is Weyoun 7 (pictured above), then 5 (background) had a mysterious "transport accident" (at the hands of Damar) and 6 (middle ground) was the traitor who died helping Odo.
s6e16 "Collective"
A little early for spooky season, but I blame NegativeNull for frightening us all.

IMDB trivia:
It is never revealed what became of the Borg infant. When asked in 2000, Brannon Braga stated the infant had been returned to its people off-screen.
s6e6 "Riddles"
After being injured, Tuvok loses his memory and must relearn speech and mobility, but he has a loving Neelix to support him.
Poster and actual episode plot based on Regarding Henry: After being shot, a lawyer loses his memory and must relearn speech and mobility, but he has a loving family to support him.

Not-so-fun fact: Regarding Henry was written by J.J. Abrams
Credit to teft for the s6e15 "Tapestry" post for inspiration.
Full quotation from Generations:
Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important how we lived.

s5e3 "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places"
Side note: While only tangentially familiar with proper RPG mechanics, I've never played D&D or other tabletop games. Just the watered down video game varietals (Dragon Age mostly). The inner geek in me saw fit to see if, in fact, class respec was a thing. Bit of a mixed bag of results and opinions.
s6e17 "Spirit Folk"
Header template. I know there exists an ongoing form of this in other social media, but given the 900+ hours of Trek media, I figure we can carve out our own niche.
Clearly I'm playing the wrong games.
