For me, DS9 was all about the characters. Dax, Obrien, Odo, Bashir, Garak... these heavily developed characters and their relationships were the core of the show. Worf did alright. His relationship with both Dax's was good. And his Klingon Empire episodes (soldiers of the empire etc) were great.



I definately agree. Character development and richness of DS9 was above all others. I know more about minor characters than some main characters of other shows.

For example... Garak, Rom, Jake, Nog, Kai Winn we know more about than Gordi, Tom Paris, H. Kim, Troi... how many others?

TOS, TNG, VOY, ENT are all based on Starships and not on space stations like Deep Space Nine. Do you think the show would have been worse or better if it was set also on a ship and not on a station?


Starships go out looking 4 adventure, Whilst DS9 with it's wormhole holds station and the adventure come to it. So both get the job done.

Care to add why next time?

It's uniqueness comes from the fact that its a Station.

I think DS9 carrys its load just as good as a starship does.It has great defenses, and cares for the wounded just like a starship, as well as attractions and trading posts, and most of all it is a home to alot of people, so in alot of areas it is similar to a starship.

I can see DS9 being a battlestation or starbase, but not a starship.I never thought in a million years DS9 would be a cardassian outpost/spacestation (terik nor).
