 CAST: Avery Brooks - Benjamin Sisko Rene Auberjonois - Odo Michael Dorn - Worf Terry Farrell - Jadzia Dax Cirroc Lofton - Jake Sisko Colm Meaney - Miles O'Brien Armin Shimerman - Quark Alexander Siddig - Julian Bashir Nana Visitor - Kira Nerys www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/DS9/index.htmlStar Trek Deep Space Nine struck me funny when it first premiered. A Star Trek show that wasn't based on a star ship? What the heck? No captain? To be honest I was about as addicted to Star Trek as a person could be and they could have put up an hour of Tribble races and I would have tuned in. I clicked with the characters instantly. Sisko was a strong leader that was destined for greatness and eventual captainship. Though the crew had a few "Runabouts" the show seemed to gain a sense of genuine mobility when the Defiant (and Worf) was added to the mix. Quark was conniving and lovable. Kira somewhat irritating and noble. Garrak was an interesting puzzle to be unraveled. Odo was unique, impressive and tragic. Bashir always seemed as though he tried too hard and as it turns out was keeping an interesting secret. Though the Dominion was a very interesting nemesis it was Gul Dukat that aptly drew our wrath every time he showed his ugly face on screen. What a great villain. All in all Deep Space Nine had more depth and therefore less of a broad appeal then its relatives making it one of my favorites. |

DS9 became my favourite of all the ST spin-offs, but at first, I didn't like it at all. It was only when I accidentally watched 2 parts of a 3-part episode ( Homecoming that it grabbed me, and then I had to go back and watch from the beginning. I missed most of the last season though, but I've recently been offered the entire DS9 collection. Now I just have to get 49 DVD's.  --A |

ooohhhhh PUUULLEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ.....
don't get me started, DS9 is absolutley my least favorite "trek"
It needed more exploration of "starfleet policies" was extremely waaaay too political for todays issues, and sometimes not enough. And the acting was HORRIBLE!!!
I didnt want to waste my time watching episodes pertaing to an intergalactic GAS STATION.
Hell, go ahead park your starship and Sisko would be more than happy to wipe the winshield for ya.
ANd even at the local Motel 6 at the promenade.... He'll leave the light on for ya.
Sorry for ranting.. but as you can tell... not my favorite spin off when there are dosens more of better and interesting things that could have used more exploration of starfleet.

I really can't argue with your comments. Frankly its all true. I guess I'm usually such a sucker for anything Star Trek they could have put up "Star Trek: Starfleet Tax Accountants" and I would have watched it eagerly. It wasn't until "Enterprise" that they managed to piss me off enough to get me to stop watching. |
