If Not Lt Cmdr. Worf, then who from TNG?
- Thread starter Photon
- Start date
The obvious answer is Ro, although she might have been a bit redundant.
I'd go with Data, so long as he didn't take over the show. Data with an emotion chip was definitely something worth exploring properly...

After TNG's run?
Wasn't serious dear, put your handbag and scary bold text away now there's a good boy.
Ensign Sito Jaxa (Shannon Fill) from TNG "The Lower Decks". There was a pitch for DS9 in which Sito did not die at the end "The Lower Decks", but she was instead captured by the Cardassians and imprisoned. The pitch dealt with Sito's reintegration into society and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Some of the ideas in this pitch were integrated into DS9 "Hard Time."

Ensign Robin Lefler (Ashley Judd).
Doctor Selar (Suzie Plakson). Would have been interesting if there was a Vulcan doctor on DS9.
Commander Shelby (Elizabeth Dennehy).
I would have liked to have seen these characters again.

Dr. Pulaski of course! No wait...
Admiral Alynna Nechayev (played by Natalia Nogulich) as a series regular instead of a guest appearance. Sisko would still command the station and be the man on point in the Bajor Sector, but Nechayev would be his boss and the one that deals with Starfleet. At times, though, Sisko would have to play referee between her and Kira when Federation and Bajor interests clash.
Her office would actually be in an inactive holosuite in Quark's bar (much to Quark's displeasure and Odo's delight).

Given that an inactive holosuite is ultimately just a room, why would she not use any of the other 'normal' rooms to be found on this massive space station then rather than chose a room previously used as a holographic brothel above a busy pub?
Because admirals need their fancy desks and logos?
And your ordinary Deep Space Nine rooms presumably can't accommodate such things, thus leading a Starfleet flag officer to set up shop in a disused holographic whorehouse?
They can recreate their own office in every detail in a holosuite.
How about Admiral Picard?
Sisko was way out of his league commanding a fortress of galactic importance. Promoting him further beyond Captain so soon would be somewhat unrealistic. But Picard was overdue a promotion anyway; taking him out of the TNG equation would free that show to explore all-new dramatic venues, while inserting Sisko's old nemesis into the DS9 format would make for some interesting clashes.
Picard would probably be little more than a guest star in this proposal, filling the slot of Admiral Ross (with a little less brass on his collar, but quite a bit of dramatic impact to compensate for it). We could still have Sisko doing the "Realpolitik" where Maquis scum needs to be bombarded and alliances switched at the drop of a hat, while his desk jockey superior would actually be the one holding up the flag of UFP moral superiority - a welcome reversal of roles.

IIRC Nerys was originally supposed to be Ro, but they changed their minds and went with a new actress and character.
I wasn't particularly pushed about seeing TNG characters turning up on DS9, not entirely sure I liked having Worf there! Although O'Brien fitted in nicely
