I think I've mentioned this before, but I am in the process of rewatching all DS9s and TNGs. I put them on my phone and I hang the phone on the TV on the treadmill so it is at eye level. I do my 45 minute morning run before work and I end up watching 1 episode per day. :thumb:

What episode was it where Data banged that green chick then had to go back to Vulcan to fight Kirk to the death for his childhood wife but the Enterprise couldn't make it because all those furry animal things were clogging the warp tubes?
That was a good one.

One of the best things about DS9 is the villains. Gul Dukat absolutely chews up every scene he is in, and Kai Winn is just so...hateable.

Also, if you watch every scene with Bashir and O'Brien while pretending they are gay you will be very amused. Some of their dialogue makes you wonder. LOL

Saw the Season 1 opener. When I heard the show had recurring Ferengi characters I was instantly turned off. But Quark is a damn fine character even after one episode (both parts). I love the idea of a changeling, too. Odo will probably be my favorite by the end.

I felt the same way about Sisko, JD. He was the most underwhelming character. Maybe it's because he's the new Kirk/Picard of this series, and nobody can be Kirk/Picard. But you look at promo photos of the show and you think, "Damn, this guy could probably rape faces." But he doesn't. It's his first officer who does all the face-raping.

I'm watching them over megavideo, and since the free version allows only one hour of stream per day, I'll do the same that I did with TNG and just watch one/day. So far I'm encouraged.

Every character on the show is awesome. There is no Wesley Crusher.

By the end of the series your emotional attachment to Sisko will be stronger than any Star Trek character ever. Maybe Spock.

God, you're going to love guys like Garak and probably my favorite character on the show...Martok. He really should have had his OWN show.

I have, unfortunately, never had the chance to go back and watch DS9. I gave up after season 1, which obviously was a big mistake. My Trek-absorbed friends, of which I have several, all put DS9 at either #1 or #2. If you have the opportunity, I'd definitely watch it. I certainly hope to do it myself someday. :banghead:

Yeah, but there is Jake. He's not as bad as Wesley by any means, but his reporter wussiness drives me nuts. Nog is good though.

The thing about Jake though is he is the emotional lynchpin for a lot of Sisko's great moments.

Oh, I tell you who's annoying is Ezri. She never quite fit in.

Yeah, she didn't really fit. However, that lack of fit kind of reflects how a Trill host may have issues fitting or finding his or her place afer joining with a symbiant.

Also, I found her to be rather attractive so I didn't mind her all that much.

Blame that on the Terry Farrell drama.

I would've put it up Jadzia Dax's butt. As long as it didn't end up in her Trill.

That's saying quite a bit. I tried to watch DS9 and was completely turned off during the first season. I might have to go grab the series and give it a watch. My list goes TNG, Original, Enterprise....DS9 I guess...

Ok, Voyager was just shit. I hated it.

The really great thing about the show is the characters. Instead of introducing new aliens every episode the writers really spend time with character development and long story arcs. There are so many tremendous characters on that show. Dukat, Odo, Quark, etc. All of the bad guys are great. Garak in particular is truly one of my favorite characters of all time. Andrew Robinson is just a phenominal actor.

DS9 was just sort of there until Worf joined the cast. Prior to that, there are a few good episodes and obviously character development, but I doubt I'll bother watching anything before Season 4.

And yes, Voyager sucked ass. Lost in Space Part 2. 4321

JD10367 05-27-2011 05:26 PM

Nice ST:TNG grouping last night on SyFy. They showed the one with Troi's mom in a coma, the one where Picard and Crusher can read each other's thoughts, the one where Worf is shifting through alternate universes (where in one he's married to Troi), the one with the Pegasus and the cloaking device, the one where warp drives are ripping holes in the universe...

And it all finished up with some episodes of "Starblazers", which I didn't even know were still being shown on any channel. I had just about shut everything down in work when I heard the theme song and was like, "No ****ing way!"
