Eh, I think it's just apples and oranges really. They both have their positives and negatives.

In TNG the characters were just vessels for the story, whereas in DS9 the characters were the story. Also it's basically short stories (TNG) vs a novel (DS9).

I've heard it like this. If Star Trek is Wagon Train to the stars DS9 is Gunsmoke.

What's with all the DS9 hate in this topic


I think the total change of pace from the first two series really rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way. Exploring space and finding new worlds/races was an integral part of both the original series and TNG...and then along comes DS9, where the show is stuck on a floating chandelier permanently parked next to a glowing space butthole.

I'm glad I stuck with it, the later seasons of DS9 were great....but it was a rough watch in the beginning.

My favorite is the one where the entire ship de-evolves, and Broccoli turns into a Spiderman

like lmfao wtf?

It was the 90's. People did a lot of coke back then.

For me, the series really picked up when Wesley was put on a shuttlecraft.

It's not really fair to compare Ezri to Jadzia. The latter got 6 seasons and the former only got one.

The episode where Ezri went home was an amazing performance by the actress if you really think about it.

"You have to incorporate all of these other personalities plus a bit of the last actress plus this new character and give them emotional depth within the context of a family dynamic that you also have to make believable in light of all these things conflicting inside the character."

And she somehow nailed it on all fronts.

DS9 is the same as TNG.

First 2 seasons aren't very good but then the show gets good.

I will watch the show one more time in my life.

I think I will skip ds9, and voyager, I'm a sucker for staying with the original artist, so no Roddenberry, no me. But I did watch all of the early 2000s enterprise show.and there is a new show in the works with Patrick Stewart in it I hear. So I might check that out. Discovery too.


DS9 is absolutely fantastic. Sisko was the best captain.

Why did they replace Jadzia so late?

Actress wanted to leave.

And the decline of quality in TNG's last few seasons were the reason it ended. Ron Moore even credited Interface, the episode with Geordi's mom as being the moment he realized it had to end.
"I think it was a point where we were in the room and we were talking about bringing Geordi's mother in, and we all kind of looked at each other and we were like, 'This is sad. This is the best we can do? Is this the best we can do, is Geordi's mother?' It was such a "who cares" idea that we were just sort of, 'Oh man... This show has got to end'."

Good on them on knowing when to end it. Wish most shows knew when to call it quits.

Jadzia got to be a boring character towards the end anyways because she seemed to have no conflict and could do everything when asked. With Ezri we saw flaws we could relate to. Lack of confidence, confused identity, family problems, and she even did things Jadzia wantes to hide away like Toral Dax

even jadzias first season blows ezris first season out of the water. shes just a better actress, character, physically more attractive.


I dont like her because she left early to do Becker then left that early too.

I enjoy season 1 of all the franchises. They're a lot more raw and plainly dated by the uniforms.. and.. I mean.. Riker's goatee, man. Still, the thing about TnG, is that I find it's more about the subplot that you have a vested interest in, whether that be the Cardassians, Data's plotline, Worf's plotline, the Q saga, or the quirks of the holodeck and other strange entities in the the final frontier and etc. A few of those plots had continued development even in the latter seasons.

It's hilarious, because Data gets laid in that one episode. Which means even the asexual android is getting more action than Geordi!
To be fair, the dude is a total creeper.

lmao thought i was the only one who thought this.

he goes full creeper mode in quite a few episodes. the time he has to recreate the ships engines in the holodeck with the holo engineer proceeds to give the holo engineer her real personality in hopes of getting romantically involved. and the episode where he had to go through some chicks personal logs and he catches feelings and he fucking tells her lol.


And remember when he actually ran into the real engineer, pretty good.

That's not true. He did it because he was having trouble figuring a problem out with the ship and wanted to talk with the original engineer. Getting a crush on her was an accident.

Even then it was that one time and he never revisited the program until the real one stumbled upon it and he apologized, then they became friends.

I feel like TNG is the better Trek show and DS9 is the better show overall
there's no way I could binge either show. i'll go back every now and then and watch a random episode though
