DS9 is the red-headed stepchild of the Trek franchise, unfortunately. They even leave Sisko off the captain rolls, although to be strictly picky, he never captained the Enterprise, of any vintage.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

And it is unfortunate because it's my favorite Trek.

Thrive to spite them
DS9 is the best. I just watched Q-Less again, which has one of my favorite exchanges: "You hit me! Picard never hit me!" "I'm not Picard!"

Best. Trek. Evah! A note it's the one that had (1) major arcs, (2) the most angst/darkness, and (3) let major characters have conflicts with each other for the entire run of the series.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
TNG (and needless to say, Voyager) sucked by their final seasons. DS9 never jumped the shark, and was still going strong by the end of its run.

Hey. New board.
One time DS9 saved my sister's life, while Enterprise, TNG, Voyager, TOS, Farscape, B5, SG1, SGA, and BSG were all too busy tripping over each other (or, in the case of BSG, deciding whether she was a Cylon), to do anything about it!

Hey. New board.
Also, DS9 isn't hung like a horse, horses are hung like DS9!

Oh! I forgot to mention (and I didn't catch if someone else mentioned it) about Narnia....
Ginarrbrik, the dwarf manservant for the White Witch, is played by the wonderful and talented Kiran Shah, and those of you who remember Viggo's dead on impersonation of him ("No, I'm afraid to even take a bath...") will recognize his voice, instantly. His performance is one of the highlights of the film.

Eh, I thought the replacement of Dax was a little shark-jumpy, but I would agree that it was still pretty strong through to the end, and certainly ended the strongest of any of them.

yes! Although, I wish they had let Kira stay more bitter. She evolved and grew and matured and always kept a hint of bitter, but I wish she would have had relapses into full-on bitter. She was fun like that.

Good point. I wish they hadn't replaced her at all. They should have let Dax get a new host and move on to another place.
