Deep Space 9 Superior

Damar. If you are talking about who took Dukat place in the Dominion after Dukat snapped from seeing Ziyal die.

[Gatefan1976]

I've now gotten to the last few episodes of the series. What is the name of the Cardassian who took over for Gul Dukat? I have trouble remember their names (except him and Garak.)

And why do the Breen remind me of one of the bounty hunters from Star Wars?

They sort of look like Leia in her Bousshe disguise.

Sadly for me i felt it was by far the worst.
There was very little actual exploring of new worlds in it from what i remember.
It was just not my cup of tea.

I can understand that.
Being a static location did take out a lot of the "Explore strange new worlds" that was a staple of TNG and VOY. They did however have some contact with Gamma Quadrant races besides the Dominion.

The phrase 'missing the point' springs to mind...

Oh, yes. That was totally what I was thinking of... must be the helmet.

Was Damar the one with the kanar habit? I sorta liked Ziyal. At least I might have if she was around more.

Probably

Yes he was.

While they didn't explore new worlds in terms of planets nearly as much as the other series (although they did do a lot of exploring in the Gamma Quadrant), I think DS9 gave the audience a much greater chance to explore the cultures that had been introduced in the other series. We got in-depth looks at Ferengi culture, Klingon culture (although TNG and VOY covered that as well to an extent), Bajoran, Cardassian, and so on. We got to explore these cultures through both the Federation viewpoint as well as their own. We got to see the impact that the Federation had on these other cultures and worlds that they had come across and we got to see the impact they had on the Federation.

To me, the in-depth nature of DS9 was much more satisfying than the hit-and-run, new planet every week nature of the other series. (Which isn't to say, of course, that I don't love the other series, just that I love them in a very different way)

[blueray]

I agree. The fact that DS9 allows you to learn about the cultures of the main characters from not only their pov but from their peoples as well. And the fact that they couldn't just fly off if something went wrong on Bajor made it even more interesting. I also liked the serial like storyline it took later on in the show.

[REPLICATOR SAM]

Yes mate that is a good point that DS9 did give us a real in depth look into those different cultures Ferengi,Cardassian etc.
That was actually the one aspect of DS9 i did like.

I just wish there had been say some episodes where there mainly exploring going to other planets and then those episodes where this a lot less.

I could have handled watching it better.
But everyone to there own and whatever makes you happy then im happy for you.

But then ive never saw more than one series of the show so perhaps i need to try and watch more of it and then i can get to appreciate it more.

[Gatefan1976]

Which series did you see R-SAM?

[REPLICATOR SAM]

I think it was the first but im not 100 per cent certain mate.

Ahh, that would explain it. DS9 S1 was not all that good, a bit like B5 S1. They are solid, but not........... "exiting" for want of a better term.

[Morgania]

Probably

Yes he was.

One of the Breen should go rescue some mercenary dressed like Han Solo. And then they could go have kanar at Quark's bar.

oh yeah as Gatefan said it gets better. There are a few episodes with other planets in later seasons and the storyline picks up.
