So the cool thing about DS9 is that many of the characters don’t really like each other. And that, except for Dr. Bashir, no one really wants to be there. I like this. Some argue this conflicts with the TOS/TNG philosophy of the future – but we’ve only seen the future from the Enterprise’s point-of-view. The best and the brightest at the pinnacle of scientific exploration. TOS/TNG is the honors class, DS9 is the sweathogs.
The plots are still a little clunky & Avery Brooks’ acting is still atrocious, but I can tell this is going to get better. The yarn about terrorists trying to persuade Major Kira to come back to the dark side is good enough – but the ending makes no sense at all.
