[QUOTE="Scribe Ineti, post: 243343, member: 5466"] [b]DS9 all the way[/b] For so many reasons, but especially for this one... (paraphrasing Ira Steven Behr) TNG showed us what a Paradise the Federation is, but DS9 showed us how hard it is to maintain that Paradise. DS9 had the strongest supporting cast and some of the best Trek writers. It detailed the Cardassians and the Bajorans. It's one of the few TV shows that featured a strong father-son relationship (and even more rare that it was a black* father and son). Aaand, the series lead and captain was also a religious figure. How often do you see that on TV? The continuity from show to show is unique among Trek series (though Enterprise is working on it). And, the writers [I]had guts.[/I] The second season opened with a three-parter, the sixth season opened with a six-part arc, and the seventh season closed with a monster multi-episode arc (I think it was 8 or 9 episodes). That's TV story-telling at its best. ---------------------------- * - Please note that no disrespect is intended by this term. [/QUOTE]
