But the average Trekkie expects galaxy-spanning problems solved in a single episode, thinks ‘alien’ means ‘misshapen nose bridge’ and is more interested in holodeck assgrabbery than vacc-suited EVA trouble. So, what you get is this faintly science-fiction-scented soap opera they fell in love with. Pleasant insipid viewing to promote digesting milk toast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939521225534251852.post-59062824670392470272023-01-08T21:16:40.961-08:002023-01-08T21:16:40.961-08:00So glad someone else sees it.So glad someone else sees it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939521225534251852.post-84533504615729978552023-01-06T13:57:55.059-08:002023-01-06T13:57:55.059-08:00I hated DS9 and Gene would have hated it even more...I hated DS9 and Gene would have hated it even more. <br /><br />Seriously, what were they smoking?

Almost zero overall character development by the end of the series, which isn't uncommon with self-contained series, which most of Trek is. You were pretty much spot on with this, now 8 year old blog. If people want to view it from a nostalgia/rose colored glasses outlook, that's on them. There are definitely 10 to maybe 15 episodes I'd classify as above average to potentially great, and a whole heap that I'd refer to as boring or filler. People saying it's better than TNG are nuts. The ending heavily involving the wormhole "gods" completely ruined it for me, anyway.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07856313028639250152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939521225534251852.post-15750205781236633212021-07-19T02:28:45.883-07:002021-07-19T02:28:45.883-07:00DS9 definitely did not suck.

AND DID YOU CALL JAKE "REDUNDANT"? AND YOU DON'T LIKE KIRA?<br />1. Worf x dax is the best relationship in star trek (go to startrek.com and you'll see they're the most popular one according to a poll conducted) Unlike, say, Riker and Troi, they are true to each other to the end. (R & T were together at the begginning of the series. Then they both had, like, 50 affairs. Then they broke up. Then they got back together)<br />2. Jake is a kid, and was interesting. Have you seen "the visitor" or "Nor the battle to strong"? Better than Wesley, anyway.<br />3. KIRA IS AWESOME! Unlike some people (Troi) she was not hired just for looks, she has personality. She's a terrorist grappling with finding out the world isn't black and white.<br /><br />Looking back at this post, it seems like more of an attack on TNG than a defense of DS9. I guess a lot of people were talking about how much better TNG is and I feel like i need to point out that they aren't correct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939521225534251852.post-27735805899458958552020-10-06T14:33:26.208-07:002020-10-06T14:33:26.208-07:00You voice this perfectlyYou voice this perfectlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939521225534251852.post-73072998461167868652020-10-06T14:31:38.030-07:002020-10-06T14:31:38.030-07:00Ds9 had depth.

Deep ...I have to completely disagree with you here. Deep Space Nine was a masterpiece. Okay, it was a little shaky in season one where the series was trying to get it's footing as distinctly different from TNG, but it more than came into it's own later.<br /><br />I found the characters more compelex and the story arcs more interesting than anything the other treks have to offer, although Voyager, TNG and Enterprise aren't that far below DS9 in honesty. I'm not as much for TOS as it seems a bit too cheesy, but I have to remember that it's a product of it's era and that when it was made it was building from scratch, there wasn't any pre-existing canon to fall back on.<br /><br />But, getting back to Deep Space Nine, I liked that there were so many non-Starfleet characters who fleshed out the universe and provided alien perspectives. It was never boring. The Ferengi became more than just the comedic bad guys from TNG, now they had a culture, a homeworld we could name, and their own set of values. The Klingon culture was explored more deeply, Cardassians became a fully fleshed out species and not just occasional antagonists. Heck, we even got to see the Romulans in an almost friendly light towards the end of the Dominion War.<br /><br />We also got to see individual characters have their own crisis. We saw Garak being put in the impossible position of having to destroy Cardassia in order to save it from itself and the Dominion, and the mental distress this causes him when he begins working for Starfleet. We see Odo longing to be with his people, but cannot because they're the ones who started and were continuing an immoral war. And, we see Sisko struggling to reconcile his role as the Emmissary with the role of being a Starfleet commander, later a Captain. We even see Quark struggle with his morals, he feels he must follow the rules of Aquisition like a good Ferengi, but at the same time his conscience bothers him when it comes to selling weapons of mass destruction.<br /><br />All in all, it was a brilliant series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939521225534251852.post-17653999915049837692020-04-21T15:39:41.166-07:002020-04-21T15:39:41.166-07:00DS9 was the only Star Trek series worth watching. ...DS9 was the only Star Trek series worth watching.

My friends stopped coming over and I eventually dropped out. Even after making me all alone on Friday nights, I STILL tried to like it.

Total throwaway character after the first episode of first season, that showed Sisko's wife killed at Wolf 539 by the borge/Picard. <br />Sisko's first officer took Jake to someone to be put in a pod then forced Sisko to the same escape pod. After that we saw them get away safely. And THAT should've been all of Jake we saw!. But noooo.... Also I really HATE Kira,she was hired I think for "looks" I read that the hirer,Berman? told makeup "he hired a pretty girl and he didn't want them to ugly her up in makeup".
