Oh, and IMO, DS9 didn't fuck up Star Trek. If anything, it rectified some of the damage that TNG had done and restored some of the fun to the ST Universe that had been lacking in it since the TOS films had come to an end.

I agree with you 100% on this. DS9 gave Star Trek it's teeth back.

Also agreed. DS9 took a few seasons to find its groove -- if Sisko's not bald, you're probably watching the wrong episode -- but man did it get good. I especially liked the moral ambiguities of the Federation in this series. showing that we're not perfect is always important in Trek, even if it's at the cost of some of the Utopian imagery.

Also, seriously. Jeffrey Combs as Weyoun. Andrew Robinson as Garak. PERFECT casting and acting. In fact, I think the whole cast is strong (but they are the standouts.) Hell, even Terry Farrell learns to act after a few seasons; a part of me wonders if she really did get attached to Jadzia.

Yeah not to mention that just watching the characters interact was fun and very interesting. The episode where Garak tortures Odo is a stand out if you ask me as is any episode with the Maquis,

that episode made me unfortable. I lost a lot of respect for Garak's character after that. I was also unhappy that Garak wasn't made to pay for what he did to Odo. What he did was just sick.

That's the point in real life the guilty don't always get punished and Garak was never supposed to be a nice guy. He was always a thug who ended up on the wrong side of politics and you weren't supposed to ever totally like him. he was supposed to be a danger to everyone who got between him and his goals and that episode showed that and was completely in character. That why I liked DS9 because they let the characters be more complex then other Star trek shows,there were not just heroes and villains there were shades of grey in between.
