Things that suggest the DS9 writers didnt get on with the rest

1 When Sisko was leading the fleet against the dominion, he was meant to be made an admiral by the writers of DS9, this was vetoed by B&B who didnt want Sisko to be higher in rank than Picard or Janeway, of course only a few years later Janeway was made an Admiral.

2 While writing first contact, they smashed the fuck out the defiant, a ship specifically designed for fighting the borg, in DS9 the damage was never metioned, presumably because the writers were so pissed at the way their ship was handled for the film.

3 The breen attack on earth in DS9 desolated starfleet command, and this was ignored in both voyager and the subsequent TNG films

4 No DS9 movies because (they wouldnt be ecomincally viable) instead we get insurection and nemisis, two of the poorest perfoming films financially.

5 Quark cameo in insurection canned, Holodoc and Neelix actor cameos intact in FC, along with Janeway cameo in Nemisis.
 
6 Wesly and Guinan back for Rikers wedding on earth, yet no Cheif O'Brien, whos supposed to be living there now.
 
DS9 Alsways seemed to have a different tone than the other shows to me.

More focused, more linear, more political.

If the Original was the Beatles, and TNG was U2, Then DS9 would be Rage Against the Machine
 
DS9 has always been the Rodney Dangerfield of the Trek universe. Yet despite that it is the most critically acclaimed of the lot.

How much real truth can be levelled at Berman snubbing DS9 in favour of his favourite child Voyager is debatable.

Although it's pretty obvious.


I'm just glad we got the full 7 years out of it.
 
I believe his exact words were "cocaine is cool", while Berman looked on murmuring that "everybody is really excited by cocaine, I think the fans will like it".

COCAINE WAS A FLOP YOU BASTARDS YOU SHOULD'VE MADE A DS9 MOVIE INSTEAD I HAAAAATE YOU
 
Cocaine wears off too fast, IMO.

I should buy the DS9 DVDs and watch it all again. I wish the SCIFI channel would air it instead of Enterprise, they probably don't have the rights to it, though. I didn't hate Enterprise but I'm not interested in watching it again right now.. maybe in 10 yrs I will be.
 
Maybe in ten years we will all look back on Enterprise with nostalgia. I MEAN THEY COULD MAKE ANOTHER STAR TREK THAT'S WORSE!
 
The moment when Voyager really jumped the quadrant:
