[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 6888800, member: 710"] Another reminder why I liked DS9 so much was the episode [I]Defiant[/I] I watched yesterday. And[I] Civil Defense[/I] that I watched the day before. The Cardassians are just great. A large part of that might be Marc Alaimo and Andrew Robinson work as actors, but it's also in the dialogues. In Defiant there is a scene where the Obsidian Order observer remarks on Sisko's strategic talents - and at the same time insults Dukat. And in the beginning, she greeted him with great friendliness, only t turn around and tell the other officers to lock up everythnig that Sisko better shouldn't see. Behind every smile, there is a knife. I read several Diane Duane books, and I enjoyed them all. She had also some pretty fantastic science fiction in several of them - anything involving the spider scientist K'tlk (or K's'tlk?), for example, or [I]Doctor's Order[/I] with intelligent rocks. :) My favorite might however be "The Final Reflection" from John M. Ford. Someone else mentioned the book before. It is now basically "canon-violating", due the different take on Klingons in TNG and DS9. If there ever is a Trek reboot, in my opinion the Klingons would do well with mixing these elements. I love Bat'leths or the idea that the Klingons killed their gods, but I also love Klin Zha and the whole concept of Thought Admirals and a more strategists thinking. The canon Klingons are a bit too... thick, sometimes. Also, if the Klingons are great warriors that like to conquer their neighbours, the Final Reflection has better answers what happens to those than the TNG/DS9 Klingons do. (E.g. it has answers at all, and they make sense.) [/QUOTE]
