I know lots of you don't like how jadzia wqs killed, which is fair it was pretty crappy, but to have a character whose whole gimmick is the past life memories, not to utilise a new life for stories that would be a waste (like if for anyone who knows it, in doctor who, regenerations were established but the doctor never regenerated, wasted potential)

Ezri is also a much imo just a better developed character, jadzia often seems kinda too perfect, she knows everything, oozes with confidence, charisma and competence, but because of this she is less of a relatable character, whereas ezri is imo far more relatable and flawed.

!she was also kinda my lesbian awakening, but that's not really relavent!<

Another game of "caption this". Wrong answers only.

I cannot believe they had the nerve to kill off a beloved character so late into the series something I don't think any iteration of Star Trek series has done!? (Tasha Yar lasted one season which is the proper timeframe to kill off a character) but to kill off Dax 7 years into the show was just plain stupid! She has great development through the entire show getting married to Worf and planning a family only to be killed by a character who she had literally ZERO interaction/history with, in an unhonorable & lonesome death on the promenade. It made no sense whatsoever. The series had really taken a nosedive before then for me personally I think I can pinpoint the introduction of Vic Fontaine was the sign of the end.

I am aware that Terry was being sexually harassed for a long time by Berman and wanted out but goddamn they did her dirty!

It really should have been Kira that would have made sense! She would have been bested by her long time foe, made a martyr and united with her prophets she loves so much.

In the episode The Begotten Quark sells Odo an infant Changeling he acquired. It was one of “The Hundred” that the founders sent out into the galaxy, just like Odo.

Odo and Dr. Mora start experimenting with it trying to teach it to change form to develop and grow. Unfortunately the Changeling was injured before they received it and it eventually dies.

My question is this, why didn’t the Founders come screaming out of the wormhole to retrieve the infant? You know they had spies on DS9 and would have known about the infant almost immediately. The female changeling stated that bringing Odo back to the Link was worth than anything, worth more to the Founders than the entire Alpha Quadrant. This infant, being another of The Hundred, should have been just as priceless to them, but they never appeared. Why wouldn’t they have tried to rescue the infant? Why would they have left it to be experimented on and eventually die in the hands of the Federation? It’s never even mentioned again.

Just a thought.

He has to get bailed out by his mom who tells him stop trying to kill yourself

So if you haven’t heard, Star Trek has published about as many novels as there are tv episodes. Yes, there are about 900+ novels around. You will have Star trek adventures to read until you die, congratulations!

For the last year I have I have started reading again and a majority of my books are Star Trek novels. None of them has been in the DS9 universe (my favorite).

What are some of your favorite DS9 novels? If the protagonist is Garak, Gul Dukat, Kai Winn or any of the DS9 ferengis, I will be extra appreciative.

So during early december I got kicked hard with unemployment and felt naturally a bit blue and under, and since I've become a late born Trekkie I deemed it time to visit that space station with Sikso and the gang.Man oh man did this not only become my favorite Trek series but one of my all time favorite series bar none

I knew going in that it would be a bit more grim and have a more serialised structure with an overarching Dominion plot, but I was not ready for how immaculate it would be weaved and how dense it would be thematically. How every single damn character, main leads to recurring to sidegoons, would be written like they were Spock or Picard themselves.The care and affection given to even the tiniest corners and weirdest one offs stunned me, and made bidding farewell so damn hard

Garak is a natural fan fave and fantastically played by Robinson of course, and Dukat is one of the most layered shifty back and forth villains not only in Trek but that I've ever seen, yet the one that completely stole my heart was Nog. I know some Roddenberry purists might see DS9 as that pesky conflict ridden show that doesn't care about his future optimism, but I beg to differ and believe Nog is a radiant gemstone that showcase that. I love how he sees the limitations and buts of his upbringing and how he can't be squared into a role there, yet he doesn't abandon his heritage entirely, he finds a tidy balance between going against the grain and being a rebel ferengi of sorts joining Starfleet, and utilizing his culture to benefit others. From a scheming rascal to a new frontier and a war veteran he goes through a ringer and a half, and his holosuite episode with Vic made me tear up

A little sad how it's a series destined to be discovered more or less by Trekkies and hardcore sci-fi heads only, the writing here is more than up to snuff to rival HBO and Netflix flagships if only people would give it a chance.The syndicated 90's TV aesthetics and the production values might not be giga million worthy, but just how some might refuse to watch black and white films or foreign cinema, I feel like it's a small "hurdle" to get over so one can be blessed by one of the greatest sci-fi media creations ever

DEATH TO THE OPPOSITION, NINER FOREVER 🖖💫

I don’t think the Maquis are wholly evil and can even empathize on what it feels like when the people supposed to protect you cut a deal “for the greater good”. So the fact that Sisko took Eddington’s betrayal so personally, he spends almost a year trying to nail him down, and is such a sore loser about being taken off the assignment, honestly gives me some satisfaction. Is it twisted? I honesty welcome all comments, what do you think?

Hahahahahahah dude this scene just got me cracking up so much hahahahahhahaha

Anyone know if the fans at the game were just crew and extras or if some locals or Trek fans got to watch them play and film?

Was just watching this episode and it is a fun one, I wonder what the characters in makeup thought about the episode since they were outside playing sports in those masks.

DS9 and dogs (including a pittie no less!?!!) is it my birthday?! Someone combined the two best things.

We still doing these?

Rewatching DS9 (again!) and had the sudden realization:

Move Along Home is just real life DnD.

It’s a dice based game filled with puzzles and dangers, but instead of the players roleplaying the characters, the characters are real.

Sisko’s a paladin.

Kira’s a fighter.

Dax is a wizard.

And Bashir’s a cleric.

It’s DnD, but trekified.

I was born in 1994, so tng was over and deep space nine had only been out for a year. I watched tng in college because growing up i saw dad watching it sometimes and wanted to see what it was about. I loved it, but the internet said that ‘tng is superior to all other series’ so i never watched any of the others.

Then near the end of last year, i was flipping channels when i landed on the season 6 finale of deep space nine ‘tears of the prophets’

It was near the end of the episode, but seeing worf had a wife who was murdered by a handsome possessed cardassian? I just HAD to know what lead up to that.

Within a month i had binged the entire series

Every time I watch this episode, this scene makes me laugh out loud 🤣

What a rivalry!
