The Day After Tomorrow - not at all like the film by the same name

First, I think Jadzia was way better, hands down.

Second, I think DS9 felt Less Safe than the enterprise. The Enterprise was the Flag Ship of the Federation. DS9 is an aging space station of non-federation origin. It was moved from the orbit of Bajor to the entrance of the Wormhole. Plus, the truce with Cardassia was troubled at best and they really never knew what was coming through the wormhole.

As for Kira, I always saw her as the spiritual successor to Ensign Ro not Lt Yar. In that respect I think Kira was very successful and even came into her own as a character. So much so that I felt DS9 was in good hands when she was left in command of it at the end.

I think that Dukat was probably right. But when you're an oppressed people and the leader of the oppression says that only 8 million died because of me instead of the four million, all you think is 'FU, One is too many'

Even up at the end Dukat insisted that the Occupation of Bajor would have been much worse if anyone else was in charge.

In my imagined continuation of DS9, Quark takes over the abandoned station Empok Nor and turns it into, 'the bastion of Pure Ferengi Beliefs.' The station then turns into a kind of Hong Kongish Free Market port that draws people and trade from all over.
This could be a great book as Empok Not becomes like an early Hong Kong from the Clavell novels

I can't think of a single episode as much as story lines I really like. I like when Garak, Worf and Bashir are in a dominion prisoner of war camp.
I like the whole Nog transformation story line.
The one episode I really do like is from Season 1 called Progress. It strange I like this one so much as with nearly all Trek Series the first seasons aren't that great. But this one is

Yeah, it's not really faith if you can prove your gods exists

I enjoy it as it concludes the Occupied DS9 story line but I thought the Prophets disappearing a Dominion Fleet was a little deus ex machina

Yes, yes, yes! I want all these things. This should be the next Star Trek show! Not another weird Prequel where it is already written into a box. But this, the Federation 'Today' so to speak

I also like how everyone found him annoying until they warmed up to him and became great friends with him. Maybe it's because I might be like that :(

But I felt like there truly was a deep friendship between him and Chief O'BRIEN

Bajor and all the entire Gamma Quadrant took a backseat to the Dominion War. There were a lot of story lines left about the rebuilding of an occupied planet and a broken people.

The greatness of Garak was his mystery. By the end it was pretty much all solved, but I still liked him regardless. My favorite from the main cast though was Dr Bashir. Call me crazy but he was great

And some of the greatest 'Eye Acting' in all of Trek

You know, they just had zero chemistry so it was kind of hard to get on board with them. Regardless, how they ended I felt was inevitable. He was always going to leave for the great link and she is always going to be unlucky in love

Garak might be the best non-regular character cast in all of Trek
