New candid Nana Visitor interview

[Rhubarbodendron]

I think the main problem is that most people who watched the other series are a bit prejudiced. They expected DS9 to be like its predecessors. However, DS9 is very different from TNG or TOS. It's like comparing apples to sausages.
It's in the human nature to dislike what doesn't meet our expectations.

Nice interview! I'm happy to hear she's back in New York. I saw her play Roxie in Chicago on Broadway about a decade ago, it would be nice to possibly see her on stage again.

One of the questions asked was how she got into the character for each scene and she admitted that she always finds it extremely difficult to switch from herself to the character, hence she prefers to stay in character all day. That means while she waits for the next take, she's "Major Kira, waiting".

That's hilarious. Well, it really shows in her performance. Most complete/fully-realized character in Trek imo. Outside of Nimoy's Spock, I guess, maybe. And in his case certain things are so iconic it's hard to evaluate.

As DS9 wore on, Visitor's performances became better and better. She was the focus of those early seasons in my eyes, and here character had grown massively by the end of it.
