On to season 3 episode 7 "Civil Defense" - I have to say lads, ye weren't lying! I am really enjoying this.
Biggest surprise for me is that I am starting to love the characters I didn't like before. Sisko, Kira, Odo. I still hare Quark though. little troll.
The Chief is still my favourite though.

Just watched the episode "Fascination" where Mrs Troi comes aboard DS9 for the Gratitude Festival and everyone ends up lusting after the wrong people, Vedic Bariel goes after Dax, Dax goes after Sisko, Jake goes after Kira, Kira goes after Bashir. It is hilarious!

I really like that episode myself. By the finale of Season 7, you'll love all the characters

I love how paranoid the Cardassians are. Dukat has precautions in case the Bajorans rebel and there's precautions in case Dukat tries to abandon ship!

Yeah it needs to be watched as a series I think.

I think it was really ground-breaking for the time. Long arcs crossing many episodes.

If there was no ds9 I think you wouldn't have gotten the sopranos, breaking bad, game of thrones etc etc.

I've been watching the odd episode lately. It's not the same dipping in and out of it.

Just watched the Enterprise late season 4 2-parter "In A Mirror Darkly" .. probably the best 2 episodes of the series IMO (although I admit, I gave up watching it regularly midway through season 2) - probably because the characters are more interesting and 3-dimensional than their "normal" counterparts. The Defiant (Constitution class) looks great too.

Until the war starts in earnest it's not too bad, but the problem with multi-episode/season arcs is it makes repeat viewing kinda limited... you can't really just stick a random episode on on a slow Sunday afternoon for example.

I think it is what killed it ultimately. The same fate befell Stargate (any incarnation) of the later episodes, Stargate being what got me through Trek-less times.
Have to say I loathed Voyager in the beginning, it was only after Janeway literally let her hair down that it became watchable and in the end even addictive, DS9 I never got into, I hated the fat that it was static, Star Trek is about exploring the galaxy, not to sit around in a space station.
My poison is and always will be TNG. The later episodes just kept on getting better. Locutus of Borg anyone? Nothing sucked me in as much as TNG, Jean Luc is my captain. I do love TOS, but there isn't enough of it and it was quite limited by the technology of the time.

I loved Voyager. I can understand what your saying about Stargate. It was and always will be my first sci fi love.
In a way, DS9 is to TNG what Atlantis was to SG1.

Stargate was always just the substitute to me, though in hindsight, what is on telly these days that comes even close to both?

Ah now, firefly had its brief moments.

Then again, BSG is so far above Trek its a space Opera.

it's a shame Enterpise got cancelled .Season 3-4 really got the series interesting.

I did like BSG and firefly. Never watched Enterprise, but the thing is shows are not given a chance anymore!.

I hate the Ferangi. They are despicable.

‘Star Trek’ Fan Invited to Pitch ‘Star Trek Uncharted’ TV Series to Paramount

Paramount Pictures has made the unprecedented move to invite Star Trek fan Michael Gummelt to pitch a new TV series that could allow him to boldly go where no fan as gone before.

“I can now officially announce that I do, indeed, have an invitation to come pitch Star Trek Uncharted at Paramount this summer! As far as I know, this is the first time a fan (not an established industry insider) has been invited to pitch a Star Trek TV series. This is, obviously, extremely exciting and I’m doing my best to get support for it from industry professionals. One of my concept cast members has read the script and expressed interest in supporting it, which is fantastic!”

I have to say that, during the most fevered heights of the Celtic Tiger, I thought there were a lot of parallels between the Ferengi and Ireland.
The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition could be applied to most big business dealings done here between 2000 and 2008.

I was making more reference to the way they treat women or should I say "females". But I agree with what your saying :-)
