Sorry for being late to the party. Thank's for waiting for me brother Fifth. You stumped me on a few of these.

[kmiller1610]

Please excuse this odd drop in. But I just got to season 4. This is the first time I had ever seen these episodes and just finished "Way of the Warrior" and "The visitor" today.

I just wanted to publicly thank Brother 5th for getting me into this.

"The Visitor" was an astonishing piece of TV film making on every level. I was really blown away.

Any way thanks to all of you for keeping this thread going as well.

Hope you come back soon and discuss more about season 4 and keep it going with all of us! It's great how many new faces have turned up here recently. It's wonderful for me here as before I found this thread I didn't think there was anyone who actually liked DS9 and thought it was the best of all the Treks. There are more and more folks realising what a fantastic show it is and that is gratifying.

I never stop learning more from all the knowledgable people here, the level of knowledge about a whole host of of topics,Trek and beyond astounds me on occasion!

Agreed, and very well said Kris!. And as much as I truly love all Star Trek series and movies, I have always felt DS9 and especially there fans, are a (big) cut above them all!. I am also glad that brother Fifth took the DS9 ball and rolled with it so to speak (I cannot think of a better and more knowledgable person to be the facilitator of this epic thread than Fifth Race. The guy is amazing with his Trek knowledge). This thread and it's subject matter is the main reason I joined GW. DS9 has so much to offer for those who understand it and get into it. - I am sure this thread and the great core group of fellow DS9/Trek brethren has done a lot to get fringe fans to take another look or there first look.

I never stop learning more from all the knowledgable people here, the level of knowledge about a whole host of of topics,Trek and beyond astounds me on occasion!

Again, very well said Krisz. I consider myself a definite Trekophile, yet I always find something new an interesting on this thread. Sharing thoughts, idea's and especially opinions about DS9 and anything else Trek related here with our DS9 superior family is always a great time and something I look forward to.

Hi ya brother kmiller, it's always good seeing you back on the DS9 thread my friend. The above mentioned episodes you named are truly great. I assume you have'nt seen the rest of season 4 as well?. - Well, you are in for a big treat, season 4 is chalk full of highly rated and memorable episodes.

"The Visitor" was an astonishing piece of TV film making on every level. I was really blown away.

I can not begin to do justice to the episode "The Visitor". It's just so good. I can explain the story and how it unfolds, but it's just not the same as viewing it. This episode is so wonderfully written and has such poignant, moving details that it soars to new heights of storytelling. Through this, we see many new things about Sisko and Jake--about their lives and their relationship. Above all, this episode stresses the bond between a father and a son, and contains family issues that many people can relate to.

Michael Taylor has delivered one of the series' best stories, and David Livingston's direction is stunning, stellar execution. As I said before, the flashback elements are wonderfully done and the performances are about as perfect as they could be. The editing and music is all in place, causing scenes to flow terrifically together. Even if you're grabbing the tissues by the end of this episode (I was) there is no way you can call this story maudlin or melodramatic. It's completely absorbing from the first frame to the last; definitely one of DS9's finest moments.

Yeah. It's all before me. I'll try to get back for the discussion. I look forward to it.

[radiosgalore]

[the Fifth Race]

I just wanted to publicly thank Brother 5th for getting me into this. And thanks to all of you for keeping this thread going as well.

Your welcome brother kmiller. You have added a lot to this thread over the years and have been a very welcomed addition. I look forward to discussing your thoughts on the yet unseen season IV episodes.

I couldn't have said it better myself brother Starbase. I had forgotten how good you are at reviewing episodes. You brilliantly summarized a very complex, touching and well-written episode. ^5

21)The Wright brothers were known for eating live worms, ritual combat to the death, and concentrating on putting big weapons on their aircraft to the detriment of the energy shielding and flight capabilities. Also their planes lacked proper inertia dampeners. Truly that was a design flaw if there ever was one. On the plus side, Breen dampening weapons are known to have no effect on any plane built by the Wright brothers, but no one is quite sure why. This is the reason why Wright brother aircraft are still flown by the US airforce, as witnessed on The Simpsons.

I did give you credit (a point) for it in your score brother Davis (and thanx for pointing out the mis-spell), I just forgot to put a star next to it. I also gave everyone (including yourself) a point for #21 because no one knew what it was.

I got Quizzes planned for the next 2 Mondays in a row brother jelgate, and there kind of tough.

My rewatching of DS9 is speeding up--I'm already in the middle of the 6th season. I watched The Magnificent Ferengi last night. I laughed and laughed at Keevan's line, "I hate Ferengi." This episode, imo, is one of the funniest of the series.

[USS Defiant]

Way to go to every one who took the quiz. I think I figured out the link between Star Trek and the Wright Brothers, if i'm right it's very obscure. (I will save the answer in case brother Fifth does re-use that question.)

I am huge fan of Quark and the Ferengi and The Magnificent Ferengi is one of the better Ferengi dedicated episode. Sure, it has some problems and doesn't always seem to know exactly what it's trying to say, but it's light, has some respectable zip, and proves genuinely amusing.

Keevan plays the part of the annoyingly keen observer perfectly by adding his two cents to the Ferengi problems whenever he feels the need. Much of his dialog is delivered straight, used to explain the plot rather than fuel the humor - but he is the central figure in many of the show's biggest laughs. Only Ferengi negotiators could inadvertently kill the prisoner they brought along to use as their bargaining tool...LOL...
