and yet nothing came of that
Oh, that’s a common theme in Star Trek.
I’m still waiting to discover how high-wrap is destroying the Universe.
You can always cop out of these conundrums with the “lord works in mysterious ways” rhetoric.
Perhaps they needed to act surprised and tell him that in order to steer events in the right direction.
Yeah, I never really enjoyed that part
Personally I disliked the whole introduction of religion into the Trek setting, though DS9 is still a great show. It just felt like a weird step back in an enlightened future defined by knowledge and science to suddenly have “gods” fucking around

Fair enough, though they don’t have a religion worshipping them and are not at all very god like aside from their omnipotent powers. They seem more like bored Greek pantheon gods, pretty normal and flawed people with superhuman abilities.
Gods (as aliens) were a recurrent theme in TOS.
Remember Apollo. Or… what does god need with a starship?
Thats a good point I hadn’t considered, it’s been a while since I watched TOS.
But I would argue that especially the latter was more a lesson that superhuman powers don’t constitute a god, whereas DS9 seems to be a lot less critical in their depiction of the bajoran belief system and the wormhole aliens / prophets.

Exchange of money is such a linear concept.
You know you’ve been watching too much DS9 when the first thing you see is that his phaser is on the wrong side.
