DS9 is my second favorite series....it wooped some Dominion Butt

Founder · **Mon Aug 02, 2004 1:21 am**

How can anyone not like it? It was perfection. None of the other shows had what made DS9 great. Charecter development, amazing ships, war, religion, coolest aliens, and an actual constant plot. VOY had that as well but tend to stray from it countless times. It was a great show. Im just sorry it ended.

Yes. Nicely said, Founder. It has all of the things he explained it has. It's written perfectly. And every episode, except those crappy Ferengi episodes, stands out in it's very own way. In exceptional space fights, or it is very emotional or outstanding character development...It' almost flawless.

Founder · **Wed Aug 04, 2004 2:13 am**

I agree completely. Except for the Ferengi part. The Ferengi were one of the coolest looking aliens in ST, IMHO. You didn't like them gul?

gul Lemek III. · **Wed Aug 04, 2004 2:55 am**

Yeah, I liked Quark and his witty commentaries

. Sometimes he made me laugh my guts out!

And I liked Rom and especially Nog with his character development. They were all outstanding. I meant with the "crappy Ferengi episodes" that episodes, that didn't have ANY connection with the storyline, jsut profit, profit and profit. Remember that episode, where Quark became female? ... But there were only like three of those episode, so It's not so bad

i dont think it was that good because they went no where like atleast voyager got lost and enterprise were explorers

Defiant · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 1:13 am**

DS9 explored alot. They explored the whole damn Gamma Quadrant. They explored the Bajoran Culture. They did tons.

gul Lemek III. · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 2:03 am**

Yeah, and if it weren't for them, the Dominion war would probably still be ravaging around.

Defiant · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 2:08 am**

Call me crazy, but I love the Dominion War. So much shooting and awesomeness. True action.

gul Lemek III. · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 2:19 am**

Yeah! And which series had the Dominion war? Hmmm, lemme think....DS9 !

madlilnerd · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 5:32 am**

I used to watch DS9 all the time, it was the first trek series I saw, and I loved it! Now they show it at crazy hours

. I don't remember much, cos I was about 9 and since then I've watched a ton of TV, but there was the pretty lady with long hair and spots (Dax) and that cool guy who could change shape and in one episode he trained a mini version of himself and it could turn into a cube, it was so cool.
I grew my hair to look like Dax, but when I was little it had hair like T'pol and everyone thought I was a boy. Now i have hair like Kochanski from Red dwarf!!! weird.
DS9 is great because it's more about community and emotions than about disasters and exploration, which made it good for me to watch cos I have emotional disorders (according to my counceller, anyway)

gul Lemek III. · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 6:11 am**

Nice thoughts madlilnerd, and true, also. But some people just don't get it...

Sonic74205 · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 6:21 am**

I absolutely love DS9 even more each day!
A few weeks ago i bought the season 4 DVD Boxset and it's GREAT!!!

gul Lemek III. · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 6:29 am**

Yeah!! It's absolutely marvelous

Did you like The Visitor?

Sonic74205 · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 6:39 am**

yeah it was very...moving

gul Lemek III. · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 6:59 am**

Yeah, I thought so also...It was the only thing (by then) EVER on TV, that touched me to tears.

madlilnerd · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 7:24 am**

Anyone who can afford DVD boxsets is super rich! They are soooo expensieve. though I suppose it would be worth it if you want all the extras and DS9 interviews

gul Lemek III. · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 7:55 am**

Well, I think you don't have to be super rich. 100$ isn't super expensive

madlilnerd · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 8:46 am**

They're more expensieve here in the Uk. They're about �69.99 to �74.99 which when you convert into dollars is about $136.50.
At the local comic book store, videos are only �1 each for 3 episodes!

Mustkillbret · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 9:12 am**

Mustkillbret · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 10:36 am**

My Nearest one is Bromley, I might try and get DS9 Season 3/4

Sonic74205 · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 10:41 am**

I got them

i was VERY disapointed with "The Search pt 1 & 2" though,and i spent the entire episode critisising jadzia's hair

But whats wierd is, in season 3 they only mention up to deck 4 on the defiant but in season 4 they mention that the defiant has a deck 5 on many ocasions!
And on the ship scimatics in the show it only shows 4 decks.
