[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Deep Space Nine (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 7/28/2009 6:21:45 PM EDT
I've been rewatching the series over the past few weeks. I'm about mid way through season 4 when the show starts getting really really good. It's a shame there isn't another Star Trek show on television that's this good. |
|
Agreed.
Be Somewhere Else The best line of the five year arc... |
|
That too is one of my favorite scenes.
|
|
Quoted: Babylon Five did it better. They are both fantastic shows and did things differently. Bab 5 was more like a television novel and DS9 was sort of Star Trek show/space opera. Right now, I'm digging The Klingons getting introduced into the series. It made things really exciting and fun. |
|
The best line? Not even. "What about you, Vir? What do you want?" "What do I want, Mr. Morden? I want to live just long enough to see them put your head on a pike, as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes, smile, and wave like this. Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?" |

Sheridan overthrows a corrupt president who had to cheat his way into office and used the media againts the citizens. We need to take notes.

Agreed, that was the best line. 2nd best was also uttered by Delen, on a White Star in the last season. |

Yes, Vir did have some noteworthy lines as well... m |

I was thinking recently that Obama probably has one of those controlling eye creatures on him... reporting straight back to Soros. |

It's a shame there isn't another Star Trek show on television that's this good. The Klingons and the Dominion War really made for some good storytelling. I loved the episode where the Dominion and Cardassians attack DS9 and they have to abandon the station. Sisko's speech about "this place where I belong" and the final scene where the Defiant meets up with the fleet always sends chills up my spine. |

I have watched TNG, then DS9, then Voyager, and I am now on the last season of Enterprise! They just keep getting better and better!
It has taken me almost a year and a half to watch them all 
I love my netflix! 
Battlestar Galactica is next on the list... then maybe 24! |
|
I was just about to post this one. Much more badass. "Who am I? I am Susan Ivanova, Commander. Daughter of Andre and Sophie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance and the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart! I am death incarnate, and the last living thing that you will ever see. God sent me." |

I always get a chuckle out of "What do you want, you moon-faced assassin of joy?" They there's always: "You are insane." "On any other day, Mr. Morden, you would be wrong. Today, today is a very different day. One last time: remove your ships." "No. You don't frighten me, Mollari. If you try to attack our forces, you'll lose." "Yes, your ships are very impressive in the air, or in space. But at this moment they are on the ground." "Fine. They're on the ground, but they can sense an approaching ship miles away. So what are you going to do, Mollari? Blow up the island?" "Actually, .. now that you mention it." "Noooo!" |
I used to miss Star Trek, until I started watching this:
 "
I'm only in season two, but I will never, ever, be able to go back to Sisko, Picard, and Janeway debating some obscure and unimportant tidbit about galactic deplomacy. BSG is the best American Sci-fi show ever made for television, period. However, Kirk is still awesome. Flame suit on. |

Season 4 was pretty good if I remember correctly. I especially liked the premier "Way of the Warrior". |

Back to DS9, that series had some great moments:
Sisko- I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover up the crimes of other men. I was an accessory to murder. But most damning of all... I think I can live with it... And if I had to do it all over again... I would. Garak was right about one thing – a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I'll learn to live with it...Because I can live with it...I can live with it.
Speaking of Garak... he kicked ass. |

Except for "Exodus" parts 1 and 2, season 3. Too melodramatic, too focused on politics, and practically 3/4 of the main cast turned out to be Cylons. |

The Klingons and the Dominion War really made for some good storytelling. Yes..it was one of the few series I anxiously awaited every week. The whole Dominion storyline was very interesting . Quoted:
BSG is the best American Sci-fi show ever made for television, period. Agreed..........with DS9 and B5 semi-close seconds and thirds. |

Quoted: she quit DS9 to be on Becker as a short order cook...Quoted: B5 is the only TV series that I bought every DVD of. Well, Firefly, too. I have to say that on DS9 one of my favorite characters was the bad Kira from the parallel universe. Too bad about Dax, ending up slinging hash in a NYC diner. ? -K |
|
I used to think DS9 was boring as hell in the first couple seasons. Once the war kicked off, and even a little before then, it was awesome.
Garek was one of my favorite characters of any Star Trek series. One of my favorite scenes of all time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTgGtJ-PisA |

Sorry BSG lovers. |

Speaking of Garak... he kicked ass. Played by Andrew Robinson, who also played the serial killer Scorpio in Dirty Harry. |

If that's the best line... why would anyone want to watch it?  |

No context there, and it was all in the delivery... Imagine saying it while pointing a 45 at a muggers head. And not the best line anyway. |

Absolutely top-notch in every respect. Garek was something else, and that scene now rings even more loudly in light of the war we're fighting... DS9 was by far the best ST show. I only regret that the last season was so weak. Losing Dax really killed it, and the ending with the Cardasian becoming a devil was REALLY stupid.
