Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

[Midnyte_Ragebringer]

I've been using Netflix to watch every Star Trek episode. I've completed the original series and TNG last week. I've just started DS9. I'm on disc 4 of season 1 now and I'm having a really hard time getting into it. Sisco and the doctor are terrible actors and completely uninteresting characters. Dax does nothing for me at all. The only 2 characters that I enjoy watching are Qwark and Odo. Anyone else have a problem getting into this one? Does it get better?

Not sure since I never made it very far into DS9. I recently rewatched all seasons of TNG a few months ago and was surprised at how well it still seems to hold up. Best ST series of the bunch IMO!

I agree completely. I love those characters.

When Data died I got emo.

Use spoiler tags, asshole!

It's over 10 years old. I didn't think I needed to. My apologies......asshole.

No shit, Spang. If that is news to anyone that's their problem, not Mid's.

It was sarcasm. I was just fucking with him.

DS9 premiered while I was stationed in Germany. A friend of mine over there got VHS tapes mailed to him each month with TNG and DS9 episodes, so I kept up to date on them through him, although I did miss a few episodes here and there. I lost interest in ST in general around '97 (Voyager killed my interest in the franchise), so I didn't see the last couple of seasons. I liked it pretty well - enough that I usually watched DS9 episodes before I watched TNG episodes (I still had to record them and watch them later after I got back to the states because of my schedule at the time). Overall, there's no question TNG was the stronger series, but I liked DS9 quite a bit. I do think it gets stronger as the series develops, but I can't say how good the last couple of seasons were, obviously.

A guy I went to high school with had a non-speaking role in an episode of TNG once. It was the episode where Data created his daughter, Lal. When Data and Troi were choosing a body for his creation, he was the human male prototype. Troi said something like "Very handsome" when commenting on him. He went to LA to get into show business after high school, but I think this was the only part he ever got other than some commercial work.

TNG is my favorite series. However, DS9 is very good in terms of breaking the Trek mold of not having a continuous storyline. I loved Sisko, so to each their own. You are right, however, in that Quark and Odo have the best storyline.

When Kira and Odo finally hook up, it's a great thing.

As far as TNG, I don't even count the 10th movie as part of the lore. That way, I don't have to face any anger issues towards Data.

I could sit through the first series but never went out of my way to see it. I did watch TNG when I was a kid. I never watched any of the other ones, because what I did see I thought was terrible.

As far as movies, Wrath of Kahn and the TNG movie with the Borg were good. I actually really liked Ster Trek: The Motion Picture too, but I know I'm in the minority there Oh yeah, the one with the whales was entertaining. All the other ones sucked, and there are a lot of other Star Trek movies.

I find myself really looking forward to the upcoming movie.

DS9 took a couple of seasons to get going.
I didn't like it at all when it started but it had some very memorable storylines over the years.

I'll keep pluggin away then.

It starts to get good when Sisko grows the goatee.

[Vetiria]

DS9 was the best series toward the later years. It was too bad Dax left to go to Becker.

[Lynks]

Haha. I was going to say that!

I agree. Sisko's character got a lot better when he went back to the 1985 "Hawk" look.

Another recurring character I really liked was Vic Fontaine, played by James Darren. The last thing you'd expect in a sci-fi series is someone singing the big hits from the days of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. In my opinion, he sang them all very well.

It was too bad Dax left to go to Becker.

While it sucks she left the show, you have to admit, Ezri was hot!
