Aaaand, in the finest spirit of the DS9 Superior thread....my sister got me the DS9 season 1 DVD set for my birthday
That's awesome. The first season doesn't get the kudo's of the later seasons, but overall there are a number of very good episodes and even a few great episodes. Plus it's always fun to go back and rewatch one of your favorite series from the beginning.

Well it's a beginning to my DS9 collection anyway I know it's not as good as later seasons but we all have to start somewhere, right? Anyway I won't end up getting to it till I 'catch up' to that point in my Trek/TNG rewatch....and I'm only halfway through season 1 right now so it'll be a while yet!

thanks for the birthday wishes (and songs) from everyone.
Happy Birthday to you too Digi ---& I will share my fave birthday song: Trip around the sun
gotta love jimmy buffet! The next trip around the sun will be interesting I am sure! can't forget martina mcbride either... gorgeous voice!
I went and saw District 9 this afternoon. What an interesting movie. The attention to detail was brilliant (you could tell Jackson directed it). It was a little to heavy on the gore factor for my taste, but it had a nice healthy dose of comedy and irony which made it a little more palatable. They set it up beautifully for sequel.
That's what a lot of people are saying about District 9. I am also not a big fan of exploding bodies and needless gore, so I will wait until it comes out on DVD so I can fast forward through the gross parts.

oh you are a man after my own heart... hubby and I do that too. we are not horror or gore fans and if we are interested in a gory movie... we ffwd it.
Ship : The Defiant - small but a real package
Captain : Sisko - Not afraid to do things aside from the rules but still not as unpredictable as Archer
First Officer : Spock - It is the logical choice
Security : Odo - He is a bit paranoid, the perfect thing for such a job (or as the producers described the character at the beginning of the show : 'Imagine Humphrey Bogart having a bad day')
Tactical : Worf - He is a Klingon. Q'apla!
Science : Spock - You do not think anyone else could do that with him on board,do you?
Doctor : Bashir - Genetically enhanced nice guy
Helmsman : Sulu - Who else could pilot a ship like him? AND do some fancy fencing
Com : Uhura - She is brilliant. You do not have to be an annoying language expert to get the job done
Ops : Data - A mechanical lifeform comes in handy. A good musician too
Engineer : O'Brien - He can build you a transporter out of a Cardassian energy cell and spare parts of a shuttle
And no.. I would not take Morn as Com-officer. Like Quark said : He talks too much. Once he starts you can hardly stop him
sigpic Thanks for the Sig go to the talented Fainne
Spoiler:
Which Supernatural character are you? (I hate those things..but sadly it fits ) You're John! You are skilled and smart, but world-weary and a little jaded. You're a serial monogamist, and you love hard. You can sometimes be a little too narrow-minded, and stubborn to a fault, but your heart is always in the right place.
The GateWorld Cantina - Kara : Runner gone Wraith gone Wraith Queen gone human barmaid
Ship: Defiant - an outstanding ship.
Captain: Sisko - not afraid if the dirty work.
First Officer: Riker - never shy of a fight.
Tactical: Worf - supposedly one of the funniest on the Enterprise.
Helm: Jadzia - excellent at the controls.
Engineer: O'Brien - the hero of Setlik 3.
Doctor: Bashir - genetically enhanced and decent at darts.
Science Officer: 7 of 9 - very efficiant.
And I would find a way to fit Garak in. He has many talents that could come in useful
So I went on vacation, and the only sci-fi thing I did was sit through a viewing of the new Race to Witch Mountain. May I spork my eyes out now? Not such a fan of Dwayne Johnson's acting ability.
Disaster? Not at all! That's a team that gets the job done well. They just annoy a lot of people along the way because they have no patience for stupidity.
Haha, that's what I was thinking when I made it up. A lot of people who are focused on their jobs and their duty. The "serious business" team. It would be fun to see.
Oh dear... they won't last long thanks to Captain "Won't be here till Tuesday" and Chief "Can't wait to kick some Romulan ***". Awesome. Serious green for you, nx. (Edit: Agh, can't green you just yet, but I owe you one now )
Speaking of Harriman, I always really wanted to see an Enterprise B series at some point. Or at least a Sulu/Excelsior series. Both could've been pretty neat, I think.

Another great choice. The thought of Garak as part of the crew crossed my mind as well.
I totally agree with having a "Genetically Enhanced" Bashir, and a "Borg Enhanced" 7 of 9 on your ship. They are both invaluable resources (and of course you have the Hologram Dr. as back-up) -- Worf is the unanimous choice for "Tactical" (total agreement) -- Riker is an intriguing pick as "First Officer" (I like it) -- I'm also on board with the USS Defiant. There is no other ship I would want to serve on in a conflict. Although there isn't any holosuites.
Great choices by everyone!. I would gladly serve on any of those rosters that were posted.

With his contacts, and his former work with Obsidian Order, it literally makes him worth his weight in Latinum. Garak proved himself quite well in the episode In the Pale Moonlight.
