It's hot and sweet and believable and has good voices. I was very pleased. May need to read it again.

Hmmm ... could I ask someone for a linky, please? Or to point me in the right direction? I am a uninitiated in the ways of fanfic, but everyone's liking of this story makes me want to read it. I could always google, but I'm afeared of what I might run across.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Vonnie, from what I can see, this is a bit of a TiVo failing/feature.
The 7pm airings look like straight season one, although The Passenger seems to be missing. They're also doing an "Uncut" thing where they show two parters back to back. Which is why The Maquis 1/2 is airing on the 16th from 9-11, and Past Tense 1/2 a week later.

Nothing quite offset the loss of Jadzia though. While I came to like the actress well enough, and some of her charcter arc, if they had to replace Terry Ferrell, they should have brought Dax back as a man, and not as Ally McTrill.
Yeah, but since they'd already established the Worf/Jadzia romance, doing that would have forced Berman & Braga to deal with issues of gender and sexuality. I think they both would have fled the show in a panic before writing anything dealing with those subjects.

But were Berman & Braga that involved? I thought DS9 was that other guy's project. Wasn't that Ron Moore? Or wassname Wolfe?
I remember reading a longass screed from a guy who worked on DS9 and then moved over to Voyager when DS9 ended, and was simply appalled at the difference. It was very entertaining.

Berman was definitely involved - AFAIK he's been exec producer of all the post-Original Treks. But I think you're right - so great is Braga's perfidy in my mind that I imagine his influence spreading backwards in time to assassinate characterization and confuse continuity before he was even hired on the shows.

Robert Hewitt Wolfe was the producer who made the first season of Andromeda so interesting... and who got fired off the show, leading to its very sad decline. Other producers of note on DS9 were Rene Echeverria and Ira Steven Behr, so if you see their names popping up on other series, you'll probably be advised to check them out if they're got any executive power in series direction and conception. (Echeverria was involved in Now & Again, about the regular suburban guy who gets transplanted into a perfect weapon body while he pines for his wife and child, for instance.)
