Everything about that was ill-advised. I'm not sure where the idea came from but the amount of problems you see it creating demonstrate that they should tossed this idea in the dumpster. One of the most basic problems is you had a Prophet-spirit who was able to live and pass as a human being for at...

One for me is that because he wanted to get through the academy solely on his own merits Tom Paris entered Starfleet Academy under the name Nicholas Locarno. It reminds of Taurik and Vorik, who are commonly believed to be identical twins. Someone made a joke though that, "They claim to be two diffe...

As for Ezri herself, it was always my opinion that she should have stuck around just long enough to establish what happened to the Dax symbiote before leaving for her own adventure after realizing DS9 wasn't her home and, as another said, what most people wanted from her (except maybe Worf) was Jad...

Worf's relationship with his son just got annoying. From TNG on, the writers didn't know what to do with poor Alexander. I wish DS9 had just brought in Alexander in another way. Have Worf mention him from time to time beforehand to indicate a relationship. Due to Alexander's rapid aging, he would ha...

really really commit to the idea of a 70+ year journey home. no teasing with fake wormholes and 'will voyager make it home?' plots. no 'we shaved 2 years off our journey' endings. In terms of what would change plotwise? For starters I'd have a lot more ships pulled through by the Caretaker array. V...

<i>setting aside the question of why the vorta would even have a sexual/romantic drive</i> (1) Because they were originally a sexually-reproducing species, and the Founders were not completely successful in wiping out those drives (for that matter, why would they even bother? Cloning may be the mor...

It may be my luck, but different devices seem to be better at getting the right ad. I have a much easier time on my phone than the kindle. I have no idea why that would make a difference, but it's been consistent.

I feel bad for Gabriel Bell in this episode. I know he had to die for Sisko and Bashir to get involved, but I wish they had let him truly be the hero of these episodes. He sounded like an interesting character.

This episode was highly disturbing, and it made the Bajorans as a whole look bad. We saw earlier how they felt about collaborators, which was natural. Now we learn that they probably shunned/hated women for being raped. Meru was "lucky" (for lack of a better word) that she caught the attention of th...

Sisko. I felt he was well written without overshadowing the other characters.
