An interesting factoid is that when they made Trials and Tribbleations, Brooks and Farrell hadn't seen the Enterprise sets at all until they walked in for that first scene. Their facial reactions upon seeing how faithful the sets were compared to the original series were completely genuine. You look at their faces and for a second, you can really see that they've become kids again and their dream of being on the USS Enterprise had been fulfilled.

@mopar_dude9227 4 года назад

Mrs. Arthur Morgan he played the alien friend of Quark that wanted a holosuite program of Major Kira. In the end Kira finds out and changes the program to have her body, but have Quark’s head and voice. He also played a human cop in the episode in which Sisko is a Sci Fi writer in the 50s or 60s. His last role in DSN was a none speaking part as an background extra in Vic Fontaine’s club in the series finale. He actually made Weyoun(s) likable. I was sorry to see Weyoun 8 get killed, being he was the last clone, lol. I think that his best role was in Star Trek Enterprise where he played Shran, the Andorian. His character’s arc and chemistry with Archer was great. Too bad there weren’t more seasons to see how his character would have evolved. And he played one of the Ferengi in the episode where the Enterprise was gassed by a group Ferengi space pirates. He was the one that guards Archer. I think he was also on one episode of Voyager, but I never got into that series, and was the voice for a character in a ST video game. As you can tell, I am a fan of his, going back to his horror movies like Re-Animator and The Frighteners (Michael J Fox) and his many H.P. Lovecraft movies/roles. He is a really great actor.

@AaronSmith-kr5yf 5 лет назад

What I always loved about DS9 was the recurring characters that so dramatically shaped the story line. Garek, Gul Dukat, Damar, Chancellor Gowron, General Martok, Weyoun, the female Changeling, all of them really brought the story to life. I love how this show also told the viewpoints of those various characters, their motivations, why they acted like they did. It left to the viewer somewhat to judge them for what they did, yes there were good guys/bad guys in DS9, but their motives were left in the grey, both sides made you empathize with them.

It rapidly became my favorite when it was on. I hosted a party to watch it's series finale! Such a rich, complex stew of different cultures with different social structures, governing systems, religions, etc. sometimes clashing and sometimes working together. I always thought of it as the grounded counterpart to The Next Generation. TNG had the post-Cold War, peace dividend optimism that assumed the fall of Berlin War was about to unleash humankind's full potential. DS9 saw the same events and realized what was actually happening was the lid was being taken off of innumerable smaller conflicts the Cold War had suppressed. For humankind to evolve, we first had to face all our chaotic diversity and messy problems and come out successfully on the other side.

@DeathBYDesign666 6 лет назад

@reaverofjillsandwichesreviews 6 лет назад

To me STD is the worst and I mean worst tv series of all time. It is so poorly written. Sure there are issues I could point out like the awkward camera work or lense flares but those are trivial compared to horrible characters, bad acting and the worst writing ever. Sonar doesn't work in space you can't use it to detect a cloaked ship dumbasses, the writers not anyone in this thread. How in the world can vulcans now use the force, wrong series, to communicate over light years? Why would Sarek adopt a human as his own when he had a son already?

@gyozakeynsianism 6 лет назад

Actually I both TNG and DS9 went darker after the fall of the Berlin Wall (DS9 being created after it). TNG became seriously darker, with the introduction of the Cardassians and the Maquis and the episode with Picard getting tortured. And that all spilled over into/was parallel with DS9. Another key element was the death of visionary optimist/socialist ideologue Gene Roddenberry, who brought some great stories to TNG but also some idealistic, simplistic and sometimes sexist BS that was best left in the 60's. With him gone the franchise could modernize.

@piotrd.4850 6 лет назад

TNG had single ... 'flaw'. As Marina Sirtis put it it was "Two Man Show" of Patrick Stewart and Brent Spinner. For all the effort of remaining cast and writers, these two have fit the writing so perfectly that inadvertently they have just dominated the set.

So that is the reason that we haven't see other spin offs or reboots because other studios want the TV rights before making movies and such. The contact that J. Michael Straczynski made with WB was for the life of the signing entity +50 years, with WB being the signer. So basically unless WB sells or releases the rights J.

@charliebook3343 5 лет назад

I had a lot of thoughts when the Dominion occupied the station and Odo was constantly in the link/having sex with the founder and how much he changed to be so horribly indifferent. It seems like the Link is like a big old drug, they're all drug addicts and "slave" to the Link, so it all made so much sense for them to make the Jem'Hadar drug addicts and them, the Vorta and everyone else slaves for their pleasure. I never thought the founders sounded "bad" or "evil" in their own logic, they were just blinded by their own drug addiction to their paradise, the Link. And how could one deny them their form of existense? I would be so excited to hear what happened further with the Federation/Dominon treaty and Odo's presence in the Link, if they could change their mindset.

I don't see the In the Pale Moonlight connection with "post-9/11 ethics." That episode was about lying and cheating and murdering to get a huge empire to join a just fight that was already being fought in earnest. 9/11 forced us to ask questions about things like torture, xenophobia, domestic spying, wars of choice and pre-emptive wars, and lying to start a war. There are plenty of TV episodes and movies in the franchise that touch on these things in a more direct way. TNG's Chain of Command was all about torture. It was both gripping and hard to watch.

Well you can easily tell it was down without Roddenberry, he was an atheist you would have never had anything to do with spirituality in a Star Trek if he had his way. We would have missed all the rich story behind the Klingon gods and the Bajorin Prophets.

@Nathan.Tinney 6 лет назад

Initially Roddenberry was against the idea of DS9 because he didn't think people within the Federation (namely Humans) shouldn't have internal conflicts and have character drama. However, before passing away, one if his last 'official' acts was to give his blessing to the production of DS9. It sort of makes me happy to know that even if he had nothing to do with it's creation, he was aware of the existence of the show before his death.

@keiichimorisato98 6 лет назад

Nathan Tinney that is why the show takes place on a Bajoran space station and not a Federation space station. This side stepped the issue, since they weren't a part of the Federation. Basically you were allowed to create conflicts. So there was very little conflict between federation officers, but plenty in the other aliens in the show who weren't a part of that.

So they made him their emissary. In order to ensure their encounter with Sisko, they even send one of them to possess Sisko's mother for a while. Since they are out of time, it may seem to be a logical thing to do. Even though it brings a lot of confusion and paradoxes for Sisko's origin.

People don't realise how important this show was not just for Star Trek but for television as a whole. IT pioneered serialized storytelling and it along with the Sopranos and Twin Peaks put the foundation down for the unbelievable television we have today. Without these shows like Game Of Thrones never would have happen.

@kellytrimble4120 6 лет назад

I think if you revise this or update it you should add a parenthetical when mentioning Garrak that the character we are introduced to as plain simple Garrak turns out to be one of the most internally conflicted and complicated and best acted characters in the history of television. In fact, one of the things I enjoyed so much about DS9 was its ability to take even a very minor character that barely has a name in the storyline and almost no speaking lines and over a period of several seasons develop the character into a major integral component of the central storyline, making the internal moral makeup of the character cause the main storyline to veer sideways in unpredictable directions, and we get to see the personalities of these characters grow as they are themselves shaped by the events in the storyline. Odo is probably the first one they did that with, starting the series as something of a side-show to the main characters like Sisko, Obrien, Bashir, Dax, Kira, etc., and later becoming perhaps the central character of the entire show, Damar (who I don't remember was even mentioned), Weyoon (sp??) (who is also not mentioned), the unnamed female changeling leader, Kai Winn, and some that were cut short like Kai Opaca.

@courtneyvaldez7903 6 лет назад

Season 6 alone makes it the best overall. TNG is right there, but DS9 gets the edge for the sheer daring in its approach to confronting moral and ethical ambiguities. Kira is a former freedom fighter/terrorist/assassin, Odo is a former (unwilling) collaborator, Sisko commits so many ethical, moral, and legal violations in order to save the Alpha Quadrant he'd be a war criminal in actuality, and yet there's so much nuance in the storytelling it not only makes sense but makes us both love and hate these characters, oftentimes simultaneously. Such a great show.

Okay, i agree with everything you say until you claim DS9 predicted the narrative arc of today's sci fi. It is generally accepted that B5 did this and not just for sci fi but television drama more broadly.

@Dawnspell8 5 лет назад

Right. First Babylon 5 is officially credited as the winning the most awards for multi-episode/multi-season story-line because they invented the 5 year story arc. BattleStar Galactica isn't the most defining Sci Fi series, Doctor Who holds that title because of it's 55 year run. DS9 is known as the defining Star Trek simply because it is Rick Berman's baby, not Roddenberry's. That change in style is what made it unique.

@swishfish8858 6 лет назад

I like the slower pace. It lets the characters and setting really sink in, and by the time the Dominion War hits you're practically in the universe.

@gyozakeynsianism 6 лет назад

I agree. I think a few of the characters hadn't really been fleshed out (Dax and Bashir in particular, but also the Ferengi) early on in the series, and that made DS9 more like the boring parts of TNG. I also think Sisko's character never really gelled, even after seven seasons. I think a lot of it had to do with basing his early character on anger over Worf 359, then more or less ditching that, and also grafting on this whole other persona of the Emissary and the hocus-pocus that went with it. I actually think that was the weakest part of the series.

@piotrd.4850 6 лет назад

Neither DS9 nor TNG would survive in today's television and viewer with attention span of Picard's fish in fishbowl. TNGs statred to find its space legs in 3rd season ( SG:U, Firefly didn't make it that far) and DS9 in 4th (where BSG ended).

@CheapSushi 5 лет назад

Honestly loved the slower pace. But I don't have A.D.D.

@Seastallion 6 лет назад

One of the things that I think made DS9 the greatest Trek series was that in some ways it was a coming of age story for the Federation. They had to rethink their ideas if taking families on deep space exploration missions. The change of ship type between the Enterprise D and E are emblematic of that attitude shift, as well as the introduction of the Defiant class ships. The Enterprise D had virtually been a lightly armed luxury liner, whereas the Enterprise E was a streamlined war machine designed to take on the likes of the Dominion and the Borg. The Federation didn't loose its values, but it did shed some of its naivety. It had to relearn the old maxim of Peace through Strength. It couldn't afford to be complacent any longer about the threats in the broader Galaxy.
