So, just went through Star Trek TNG, and naturally, I’ve decided to go through DS9 next.
I just watched the very first pilot episode and I noticed something very odd.
Sisko and Dax go into the wormhole and then Sisko goes into some sort of dream state. Meanwhile DS9 is being attacked by Cardassians. For some reason, Dax is suddenly on DS9. Did I miss something? She was in the wormhole with Sisko, how did she suddenly appear on DS9? Sure enough, later on Sisko comes out of the wormhole on his own. No Dax on board and towing the Cardassian ship which had also entered the wormhole. So how did Dax suddenly get from the wormhole to DS9?
If anyone can clarify I would appreciate it.
By the way, since I am doing a re-watch of this series, I may post again if I have other issues I want to discuss.
“Sisko and Dax are exploring the strange environment revealed inside the wormhole when Dax is suddenly sent away, appearing moments later on the operations deck of Deep Space Nine, while Sisko remains in a white void.”
Just fast forwarded through the episode and found the scene where Dax suddenly materialized on DS9. I guess I must have been in the bathroom or something. I missed it some how.
Never mind.
I envy the OP. I just recently did this. Now I’m going through withdraw.
Also, if you’ll notice: In the first season, Sisko talks about his father like he’s dead. (He speaks of him in the past tense) Then sometime around S3, he’s alive all the sudden.
Just a caveat: most TV series go through growing pains, and DS9 is no exception. I wouldn’t get too bent out of shape if the first season or two don’t quite conform to the rest of the series, in terms of style or even in terms of facts. They were still getting their bearings.
Awesome series, indeed. My all time favorite Trek series.
I forgot Q made an appearance in DS9. I never liked the Q episodes in TNG, but this wasn’t that bad as he didn’t really do anything except hint that there was a problem.
On the other hand, an immortal being who can make things happen at a snap of his fingers, trying to win his woman over? She left you for some reason, all you need to do is snap your fingers and she’ll be in to you again. Or you could just create a woman like her. Really disappointing. I can’t remember if there are more Q episodes in DS9, I hope not.
I recently started watching DS9 again on Netflix, also. I haven’t seen most of the episodes since they originally aired. I’m stalled near the end of season 2 right now, though. Most of season 2 was better than I remembered, and I recall it gets even more consistantly better once Sisko shaves his head.
I’m on Season 2 now. Have had a marathon run today.
Anyway, in episode 6 named Melora, was anyone else bothered when Dr. Bashir…apparently experienced low gravity for the first time? I mean he is in space and he is with star fleet. Surely he must have experienced no gravity at some point in his career. I’d have thought anyone joining star fleet would have to experience low gravity during training if nothing else.
Maybe I’m just being too knit-picky.
I could (just barely) accept that someone could get through Starfleet without having to complete zero g training. But in this episode, the doctor acts as if this is a rare and wonderful experience that he’d never have had the opportunity for if he hadn’t met the alien woman. Dude, it’s Star Trek. You can probably control the gravity for each room with a rheostat, like central heating.
Just a head’s up, NiceGuyJack, but if you just finished episode 6, you have nine more episodes until you hit “Paradise.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode of a TV show that made me angrier than this one. Might want to just go ahead and skip it altogether. Go watch “Spock’s Brain” instead. You’ll be happier that way.
