I think the main problem I had w/ DS9 is that it was a space station. No travel. Did they forget what “trek” means? It doesn’t mean sitting on a platform in space. And the characters weren’t very intersing. TNG had Data and Troy and Warf. Voyager had 7 of 9 and the other semi-borg. That Changeling guy on DS9 didn’t do it for me. Enterprise has Phloxx (or however you spell his name) as the best character. And like I said for Enterprise, this weeks episode was the only one I liked. The others were mediocre at best. ---

DS9 had the war! big booms! lots of death! ship fights Star Wars hasn’t answered in quality! Quark! GARAK! Sisko! sure there were BBEs (boring Bajor episodes), but they got fewer and fewer as the series progressed. ---

But, they kept Kira and Odo, two of the most static characters ever introduced to Trekkers. Some of the DS-9 eps were Solid Gold, but you never knew when O’krapa was gonna show up and make Kira’s lips purse. Plus, I kept looking for some _Benson_ ref and never got it. If someone could give me a list of DS-9 eps that didn’t have Kira, Odo, or pansy aliens as major players, I’ll make sure I see them. BBEs = \*Shades of Grey \* (TNG). All of them. Horrid. Pontificating Janeway Eps are just as bad. ---

The Second’s job is to make sure that your phaser-cutting phaser is in good condition, and to tattle on the other guy if he cheats. ---
