Some thoughts


Sisko fights like Kirk in DS9 season 1.

Gates McFadden is friggin gorgeous in First Contact.

Nana Visitor is the best part of DS9 season 1.

JJ Enterprise isn't really that bad, eagerly looking forward to the JJ Ent-A though.

Proper warp nacelles are placed above the saucer section.

That doesn't explain the nation known as Facebook that rose up from the ashes of the land we once knew as Canada.

But since this is Star Trek, that comet will be a Trojan horse for some obscure TOS race that's now threatening the federation and only Picard, Janeway, Ezri, and Chief Engineer Wesley can stop it.


Modern Trek novels are the most wallpaper paste white bread plot by numbers bores in all of sci-fi lit.

I read one of Shatner's the one where he brought Kirk back to life via the Borg or something? It was so bad it wasn't even memorable.

DS9 2x15 - the one where they beam down and nothing works because the crazy lady has a jammer or something.

So they solve the problem and get ready to leave and OF COURSE nobody wants to leave because 10 years of primitive life and no medicine or anything is totally worth sticking to. UGH.

Yeah, but the last couple of seasons were very well written and had me on the edge of my chair at times.

The plot gets really interesting toward the end of the war with the Dominion, and everything is nicely resolved in the last episode.

DS9 is the best ST series of them all, IMHO.

No argument man, DS9 is easily the best Trek ever.

It was a little ahead of its time in that it was a serialized TV show in the age before Netflix. In fact, I'm pretty sure that nobody realized DS9 was good until Netflix became a thing.

That said, I'm pretty sure I've read that it has better ratings than Voyager, though.

People have been raving about DS9 for a bit longer than Netflix dude. Part of what brought me to SA was the strong Trek fandom in the GBS thread.

Yep. They basically married the TNG uniforms with aspects of the movie uniforms -- the breast flap, rank stripes on the wrists. You can briefly see it in a deleted scene:

I don't see why this wouldn't be the case, the few times we see Klingons who aren't politicians or military fratbros they seem pretty on the level. It's just like anywhere else, most people are just people trying to get by but to get into the elite you either are a corrupt rear end in a top hat or become one in the process. Which just makes Martok all the more awesome.

Quark's Klingon wife was a pretty great example of good Klingon.

That Klingon biologist was a spy for the Romulans, and the Klingon lawyer was trying to frame Worf for war crimes. I shudder to think what heinous evil the Klingon chef was plotting in the background while the crew were distracted by the wormhole.

He was probably preparing cooked meat.
