and don't get me started with Enterprise, although kudos goes to the players involved, It is my opinion they went in the wrong direction. As soon as they could, they started interleaving it with canonical events set up in the other series (ferengii in season 1e8 and borg in season 2), I think the process is known as 'standing on the shoulders of giants' I never really felt involved with the crew of the ncc-1701-x I always felt it lacked something and only got going until season 4,

to comment upon recent posts: I liked DS9 BECAUSE it was a change from the utopian future of TNG, Bajor had just come out of a century of war, looting of it's natural resources, oppresssion and murder of it's populace and occupation, so I suppose an analogy would be Britain or France after the second world war, only much much worse,it had a certain realism that purposely lacked, TOS was a hard act to follow and to make it go required a more true vision of Gene's vision it had to be brigher

One of the reasons why this final scene is so heartbreaking to me is because it mirrors a scene from The Visitor when Kira and Jake have a similar emotional scene by a window after Sisko is believed to be dead. A bittersweet parallel that shows you how good the DS9 writers really were.

Deep Space Nine has always been my favorite of any of the Star Trek series. If the other four shows were about seeking out new and new civilizations, then DS9 was about interacting with those civilizations once they made contact. It was concept that I always found far more interesting.

Poor DS9. Deserved a longer run. I miss it terribly. :'(

I want a new Star Trek series as great or better then DS9. The end of the show and the good byes still make me a little misty eyed. Makes me sadder to think that no more new adventures will take place on or off this space station. I love TOS TNG and VOY. I tried to watch Enterprise but what a waste DS9 was just awesome with the best characters, stories etc. etc.

I never got into DS9 in its original run, never really gave it a chance. Always preferred voyager and TNG over it. But after watching DS9, it's my fave. Great story arcs (actually it's the only star trek series with ARCS), and good character development.

I really enjoyed the DS9 ending, each character got a resolution.

[lehah]

I remember giving up on DS9 a couple of episodes into its first season, being in middle school and put off by its pacing, it's religious episodes and the fact that it was "harder scifi" than TNG. I went back and bought the series on a lark on DVD in 2006 and was blown straight out of the water. All of it worked and even stranger, the writing got better every season. It's the only show I've ever seen do that. They really had something special with this.

Its funny how all the haters are just bigots who didn't really watch the show and judge it on some superficial standard. DS9 was space opera at its finest; characters you cared about and a story that's still compelling now. I rewatched DS9 recently and it was awesome (well 1st 2 seasons weren't but thats true for all treks). Watching most of TNG is very dated and 80's. No character development and alien-of-the-week plots. No thanks.

I always wondered why Odo wouldn't come back? I mean, it would not take him years to cure and explain the founders anything he experienced and the fact the Federation is not an aggressive organization. After all he went through to get her love, after all the trials and errors and the heartbreak, you would think he would return the moment he was done.
