I'm up to the Season Two finale as of right now. I wish everyone would take notice of how well written DS9 is and how well it stands up as a series, it's not nearly so dated looking as TNG or even Voyager.
I hope you join us regulary for our daily DS9/Trek/Scifi conversations and episode discussions. We even do all purpose Trek Quizzes here every other week or so.

The three parter at the end of S2/beginning of S3 was whrn IMO DS9 found their direction. It didn't seem like the show knew where they were going until the Dominion showed up. It was from S3 and beyond where they could write some very interesting stories. A Federation coup would never have existied in the old formula. Sorry I watching Paradise Lost the other dayOriginally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right

I love the show and especially its character development. There's a lot more of that in DS9 than in the other shows. There's also a lot less of the episode reboot stuff, where what happens in one ep has no effect on the next, which was particularly a problem with TOS.
However, I do think that they find the solutions to their problems, even when it's supposed to be something completely new, a bit too easily sometimes. Things often work out on the first try, and it usually involves reversing the polarity of something.
Coincidentally to the first post of this page, I watched Visionary tonight and it struck me how easily they worked out what caused O'Brien's temporal shifts, and particularly, how to manipulate them so that he could move to the point in time he needed.sigpic

Have a day off within my week off!
It's Gatecon week so I've taken a day out, well, I couldn't afford to go whale watching with some of my fellow gaters so a day off. I've been having fun being a tourist in my home town, and an excuse to go out and feel like I'm away on holiday. The con itself starts on Friday when I finally get to see RDA!
Anyway, it's given me some time to come here and it's good to see another new person on the thread who appreciates the wonderful show that is DS9.
'Visionary' is a great episode, poor old O'Brien, he does get the short straw sometimes! Especially his shock at having to deal with his own death on a couple of occasions, those moments were particualarly well played by him and I felt his horror and discomfort along with him. I agree, he is particularly good in this episode and yes....no Keiko....!! I particularly liked the bit at the end where he questions if he really belonged in the timeline he ended up in as the O'Brien of the future ended up in the in the past, love these sorts of time twists. The little teasing touch at the very end as he goes "Dabo!" to Quark just before the crowd round the table shouts Dabo is a fun DS9 character moment!
We were talking a while back and lamenting the lack of DS9 being shown anywhere in syndication. Lo and behold the Space channel here are showing every Trek series starting for the fall season. Up till now they've only shown TOS, ENT, VOY and TNG but in the trailer I was happy to see a scene with Sisko and Jadzia as they meet the Prophets in the first episode. So at least now DS9 is being shown on a TV screen somewhere in the world at a reasonable hour of the day.
Oh dear, SGA cancelled...I'm not really surprised to be honest. I never got into it that much and it always seemed to be struggling to find fresh ideas. It will be weird though not having any more Stargate in production, perhaps Stargate Universe might see the light of day at some point. I feel though it should be left for a couple of years maybe and then it may be better recieved as the concept is too far from the Stargate world we're familiar with and it could end up being a bit like the Stargate franchise's 'Voyager'!

We have had a handful of new and fellow Trek fans visit us in the last month or so. Isn't it wonderful, the more the merrier.
