Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

My wife and I quote the first episode a bunch.
"Aggressive! Adversarial!"

"It is not linear"

Reminds me of many of the adventure structure of RPG discussions here at EN World

2nd that the DS9 is best Startrek series.

And season 1 does not have that many terrible episodes,
OK, Move along home needs to be deleted from the timeline, but are any more that are that horrible?

I know sometimes kids grow up on shows both as characters and actors. Though, Jake and Nog have such great arcs and go from background scenery to being characters I look forward to seeing in episodes.

They really lucked out in getting a couple of child actors who could grow so well with the show. And then they gave them good material to work with.

Jake and Nog - especially Nog, especially given where he started out in the first episode - were both excellent characters. Cirroc Lofton was 13 when they started filming, but Aron Eisenberg was 23.

This is the one show I practically forced my wife to watch with me when we got together. It took us many years
She enjoyed it but extremely disliked O'brien, which I thought was hilarious.

This is probably #1 on my all time favorite show list. Garak is probably the best character ever made for television.

Had to think about it... Im guessing its cause half the time O'Brien is overly nice and helpful, and the other half the time he is crotchety and abrasive?

There are lots of good characters, aren’t there? Garak probably takes the gold medal but of course a very strong contender is Dukat, Star Trek’s best villain (and arguably its only true recurring nemesis).

Others include Martok (probably my personal favourite), Nog, Rom, and Weyoun.

Maybe she needs a course in Colm Meaney appreciation. I recommend having her watch The Commitments, The Van, and The Snapper.

Heh, I never realised that about Nog's actor. Makes sense in retrospect - you can hide a lot of age cues under all that makeup, and it'd be tough for a kid to sit through its application.

When a LGBTQ friend pointed out to me that Garak was 'obviously' attracted to Bashir their interactions hit in a completely different way for me. Even better, from a story perspective, as it gave an explanation to a lot of behaviour.

EDIT - I put obviously in quotes because to me, a straight white male, it just went right over my head.
