ST:DS9, Through the Looking Glass, Episode 319

You know it'll be a good episode when they say the name of the episode just before the cut to title sequence.

Alt-universe O'Brien captures commander Sisko to do something in the parallel universe. And by something, I mean alt-Dax. Nobody seems that concerned.

Also, it occurred to be that replicators break the Star Trek universe even more, given that there are hundreds, if not thousands of programmable recipes, schematics, etc., all user-configurable by ship crew. Given that replicators and transporters are based on the same technological basis (whatever that is), and that "storage concerns" seem to be ignored when it comes to replicators, why can't humans be replicated?

This is why I can never get into writing Trek fan-fiction.
