    Default So DS9

    Sharky has started watching it. I know some of you like it (Pike?) so you can discuss it with me and tell me how wrong my opinions are

    There's too much grey and that Dr. guy is an absolutely atrocious actor. I'm told he improves later on but my goodness so far

    I only like on character so far. And Chief O Brian is okay. I feel like he hangs around too much now. Sure its his job or whatever, but its weird




    There has been no Data

    Took us over a year to get through TNG xD

    Mostly because we stopped for like 4 months at the last season because I refused to move on

    I'm starting to see I was right

    It's Ops. Base Operations. He "hangs out there" because he's the chief engineer and it's his job. Poor fella. He's part of the command crew now, so you'll see him as often as you saw Geordi.


    I think it was cool because it reflects how to move up and get promoted, you have to move around. So since Geordi wasn't going anywhere, O'Brien went to DS9. Continuity.

    Also, Colm Meaney seems nice enough from what I know. It was good to see him get a bigger part, and stick with a franchise across two shows.

    I'm curious to see how long you like Jadzia. I wasn't expecting you to like her for what ever reason.

    Characters definitely take a season or two to grow on you. Then you love 'em.

    She seems pretty normal so far. She's not in your face or loud or obnoxious. Heck she barely talks. Its refreshing because I find most of this cast to be too in your face about their personalities. Except the main dude, but I dunno I just don't really care about him that much. I don't dislike him either, he's kinda just there

    Oh god if that's why you like Jadzia then you are not gonna like her later on in the series when she turns into a full Klingon/Ferengi in a Trill's body.

    IMO it's really refreshing. I guess in the first season they wanted her to be more of a demure sage type of character but I feel like that would have been really overdone for a pretty female character. So after that they reshape her into more of a fun-loving character who can go toe-to-toe with Klingons and Ferengi. It's pretty unique and I like it a lot.

    DS9 definitely takes a little while to get going and honestly, fun as it is, season 1 feels like amateur hour quite a bit. Once everyone gets themselves settled the show gets much much better and within a couple of season you'll start seeing some really solid episodes and find yourself caring, in different ways, about everyone.

    Yeah, right not Bashir is really grating on her. Which is the point. He's well intentioned, but way too naive. Maybe they sold it too hard in the first season, but meh, he develops as time goes by anyway. So, while the actor maybe doesn't have the best chops, he's at least getting the main point of the character across.

    I keep telling her that the station is so drab looking because old Cardassian military outpost. She also didn't like how the station looked so much less advanced than the Enterprise. Also because old Cardassian military outpost.

    I don't care about the reason. If I move in to a house with holes in the walls and the person is like "Yeah they were cage fighters" it doesn't change the fact that THERE ARE HOLES IN THE WALLS

    And I don't actually care much about his character. He doesn't seem like a bad dude, just unsure of himself. It literally is the actor that I can't stand. He makes it impossible to get immersed in any of his scenes because he is so bad. I've been reading and not even paying attention and then he comes on and I can't even focus on my book. That's how bad of an actor he is right now

    Most shows are rough the first season, so I'll give it more of a chance. Right now I'm not a huge fan

    Alexander Siddig is a wonderful actor which is why he's going to be on Game of Thrones this season!

    I don't think we can be friends anymore

    Dude, seriously Steph. He's become a good actor, but go back and watch episodes like Move Along Home. It's pretty rough/funny.

    Also, they're fixing the station!!!! Every episode O'Brien (who you hate for working so hard ;__ is there trying to address all the problems. It takes time.
