So after three years of watching the show,me and my dad today watched the final Episode. The final episode was amazing. It had one of my favorite concepts in shows which is a huge final battle with lots of ships and all. The ending was quite sad as you got the see all those flashbacks from so many fun episodes from the show

Here are some of my favorite characthers and my thoughts:

Dr Bashir and Miles Obrian:These two are wome of the funnkest people i have ever seen in star trek,their bromance is just so fun and cool. I loved the varius holodeck episodes they had.

Kira and odo I loved kira from the start(i am not biased at all cause I defintly did not have a crush) and I really liked her characther decelopment arch. And it was nice that she ended up as DS9 new commander at the end. Her final scene with Odo made me shed a tear.

Odo on the other hand i just wow,what a characther. As a fan of fallout NW,I was pleasantly suprised to see mr house voicing him

I'm loving watching Bashir run around pretending to be 007.

Made this for a meme theme series I'm working on.

One of my favorite top five episodes!

…and OMG I am depressed now. First time seeing it, literally cried my eyes out bc it’s so accurate (and timely).

Bashir: “How could they have let things get so bad?” Sisko: “That’s a good question. I wish I had an answer.”

😭

Is it just me or are some episode titles switched

I was watching season 3 and through the looking glass and improbable Cause are switch. Now they aren't really switched the episodes them self's are inthe right order but the title, the picture, and episode description are switched

Then now in season 4 it has happened again with Hippocratic oath and Visitor but at least this time it's just the titles switched lol

It's not just me right?

they are having the conference on Romulus and the federation ship, an intrepid class, is shown flying through space. THEY DIDNT CHANGE THE REGISTRATION!!!!!! it says NCC74656 >.<

they could have put a stencil over it at least but no, i think they just took voyagers b roll and threw it into ds9.

what happened to the pup program when they decided to destroy all the computers and computer cores when sisko and starfleet abandoned the station when bajor signed the non agression pack with the dominion and they were on the way to take over the station
was the program destroyed or did o'brien find a way to take it with them

Who would win?

Boy oh boy this episode has some major cyberpunk vibes. I love it.

Happened to watch this one on Remembrance Day. One of the coldest moments in the whole show. It was so unsettling the way his final words were to bitterly stoke Jake's guilt.

I've been a Trek fan my entire life, but I never watched DS9 from end to end in order. Until now that is. I started at the first episode in September and I am in Season 7 now.

Also, I recently have King George III's song's from the musical Hamilton stuck in my head.

When I got to the part in the story arc where Dukat goes from merely having a weak grasp on truth and reality into full blown madness, after Ziyal is killed, I realized that the song "You'll Be Back" could almost perfectly be a monologue from Dukat.

A friend of mine and I were talking about it and he thought it would be funnier coming out of Garek's mouth, mocking Dukat. Picture the scene:

Dr. Bashir is sitting at a table reading. Garek walks up.

"What are you reading doctor?"
"Oh, just a 21st century earth play about the American diplomat and politician Alexander Hamilton"
"Do you mind if I see doctor?"
"Certainly"

Julian hands him the tablet, and Garek begins to read.

"Doctor, do you know who this King George character reminds me of?"
"Who is that"

Garek bursts into song...

Is it ever mentioned or explained why there isn’t a counselor on the station? Just feel like there have been so many situations where having someone like Troi would benefit everybody on DS9?

I know what you're thinking that yes they are because of Sisko's mining of the wormhole. But I was thinking it started far before that.

I randomly watch episodes on Pluto TV since I don't have Paramount. The other day I was watching the episode where Bashir cured a Dominion planet where presumably the Founders gave the people an incurable disease. That got me thinking.

They didn't specifically say why the Dominion gave them that disease. It didn't get into details of it. Why was Bashir trying to come up with a cure? I thought the Federation had a policy of non interference and that is a Dominion planet.

Then I remembered other earlier season episodes. The Dominion leave the planets they conquered all alone. They only send the Jem Hadar when they get out of line. Very similar to Genesis Khan. Who knows what this planet actually did to piss the Founders off? Maybe they killed the ruling Vorta?

Conversely, the Federation along with other powers are sending hundreds of ships into the Gamma Quadrant. The Dominion have got to be like what the hell man?

What makes things worse is that eventually the Federation learn of the Dominion and continue to send ships, set up listening posts, have Keiko pick flowers or whatever into their territory. They just completely ignore their Prime Directive. The Federation doesn't just send ships into Romulan or Breen territory because they know that could lead to war.

Forgive my ramblings. It is the order of things.

Because that's what it looks like.

Hello! I have been a fan of Star Trek for More than 10 years. I have seen TOS, TNG, Voyager, Enterprise, and all the new series (many of them more then once). They are my comfort show especially TNG and Voyager. I have tried watching DS9 on and off for the past 5 years but it is just so boring to me. None of the characters seem great and the story line is dull. I want to love it though like all the other series. So how can I get into DS9 and why do all of you guys love it?? Thank you!

When the Prophets extracted a penance from Sisko, and that he wouldn't find his home on Bajor...what do you think that meant?

Of course we know what happened to him and he never completed his home or was able to live there with his family. Do you think it was only that?

What if things went differently in the wormhole, and this penance was never an issue. No matter what else happened in the war, would he have eventually lived his life and found peace and a home on Bajor with his wife and family? And never went to the fire caves with Gul Dukat?

And it makes you wonder if it was already destined to be the way it happened anyway. Was what was to come, as it happened, outlined in the prophecies? Because if so, extracting the penance was meant to be, and his life was always meant to go this way, as it went, even though how thenprophets spoke seemed like it was going to go otherwise.

When asked to argue why DS9 is the best Trek, I oft point to Rom's character arc, and the ineffable charm of Max. Many happy returns to this man.

now, this is obvious, they're both the same model of ship, but i propose their destinies are interlinked in much more fantastical ways.

in ds9 both ships are lost in combat to dominion vessels

moving backward we know the uss defiant was lost in space and never recovered during the tos episode tholian's web

and after a rewatch of a taste of armageddon i realize that they mention that the uss valiant was lost on a mission to eminiar 7 and never recovered

both ships are lost without a trace

unfortunately my theory falls apart a bit when they mention in tos that the valiant was lost "50 years ago" and they never specific if it was a constitution class which it almost certainly couldn't have been, however its still fun to think that the defiant and valiant are ships cursed to be doomed together in every generation and yet always brought back

Bit of a random thought watching an unrelated Trek video.

Curious if they ever go back there or not.

I have a lot of the primary cast's autographs on a DS9 art print, with the obvious omission of Renee (RIP).

Of the rest, it seems clear that Colm and Avery won't happen, but what about Alexander Siddig?

I don't recall seeing him mentioned on guest lists of any cons over the past few years, but I also haven't heard that he doesn't attend any, like with Colm & Avery.

Does anyone know if he never does them...or is it rare?
