yeah...but hardly explained why they had such a special relationship that was more than 'family', or something like that, is how she explained it to riker in BoBW II

- Need to show reunion of Sisko and Picard in order to portray Sisko as superior to Picard to tie up the loose end from Emissary that ludicrously portrays Picard as superior to Sisko, and since there is no closure on that, implicitly leaves it that way forever (which is even more ludicous)
Um, Captain Picard was superior to Commander Sisko... Unless rank is ludicrous.
Did Ensign Ceto (spell.?) actually die during the mission?
What happened to Tom Riker?
What became of the Enterprise C (did the romulans keep it and back engineer it or destroy it)?
Curious about Wesley's travels.
What ever became of Hugh and his fellow Borg expatriates?

Amazingly, it's hit a point where sometimes I forget to separate in my head canon from the TV series and the follow-ups in the DS9 Relaunch (a pretty solid series of novels and novellas). What loose end do I want?
TNG. But then again, I haven't read any post-nemesis TNG novels.

True, but how did they "re-meet" in the 24th century, when Guinan would have to act like she never met Picard before? Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the novel "The Buried Age" addresses this, but I've never read it.

Agreed, it's a good thing Picard wasn't calling the shots in episodes like "In The Pale Moonlight," or the Alpha Quadrant would have been doomed.
I imagine he was given full funding by the Dominion, including all the resources he needed to continue his research on Cardassia Prime, until either his eventual slaughter by the Jem'Hadar or his capture and execution by the Klingons.
Hopefully he died. Seriously though, hopefully he died. I hated that character.
NO KIDDING! Hopefully he eventually gets that moon he always wanted, and the planet it goes with.
- Need to show the Sisko returning like he promised to yet never did - major, major loose end there
He said he might be back in a hundred years, or yesterday. I'd like to see him come back in the past.
That is a good one, one I've often wondered about myself.
Nah, they need to start the conquest of the Delta Quadrant and face down the Borg.
AMEN!
Nah, leave him and his buddies in Bajoran Hell forever. It's want they deserve.
No more Weyouns please. Jeffrey Combs is awesome, but enough is enough.
Meh, doesn't mean that much to me. Though it would have been cool to see them again in the Dominion War.
Hopefully they died.
AMEN!
This.
It would be great if the books could bring back Dukat (never confirmed as dead) and give him a better ending/conclusion that the lame one on the show, but I doubt that will ever happen... and we're probably better off for it, given how poor and one-dimensional most of characterizations of Dukat in Trek Lit are (with a few exceptions).
This could be attempted in fanfiction, but there's a problem how to undo the entire Pah-wraiths nonsense, or try to make some sense of it...
That's just cheesy as hell. (Pun intended.) Like the entire Pah-wraiths storyline.
I never expected an intelligent show with complex storylines about politics and war to end with the hero being revealed as Space Jesus (whose birth was arranged by "good" godlike aliens who had possessed her mother and made her have sex, conceive, marry and give birth against her will) and the villain getting possessed by "demons", all red eyed and mu ha ha, wrestling with Space Jesus for a minute or to and getting thrown in "hell".
Nah, Weyoun is dead as a dodo. If the Founders were to try to conquer Alpha Quadrant again, I see no reason why they would want to use another clone of Weyoun again, since two of the last three Weyouns got over-confident and screwed things up badly on Cardassia, and the third was 'defective' and betrayed the Dominion. There are plenty of other Vorta to go around, no need for the Founders to keep going back to Weyouns. Besides, I think they did with the character(s) all they could.

I would think that on the Station Sisko is the boss. On the Enterprise Picard is. Sisko is not in Picard's chain of command (and visa versa) so as COs wouldn't they be equals?- Need to show reunion of Sisko and Picard in order to portray Sisko as superior to Picard to tie up the loose end from Emissary that ludicrously portrays Picard as superior to Sisko, and since there is no closure on that, implicitly leaves it that way forever (which is even more ludicous)

For the longest time I wondered if Gary Mitchell was really dead under that rockfall. I know now he was ESPER enhanced but as a kid I thought he'd been turned into a superman, so even now, part of me is always expecting him to return.
Other lose ends for me: Tom Riker, as others have said; Sito Jaxa and Ro Laren.

I like your pick of Gary Mitchell...and Riker as well. I would also like to have known what the heck SPock/Romulan commander were referring to..their so called 'secret'...

Have you never switched departments in a job? At my job, I started in department A. Switched to department B, rose up a rank in that department, then on the strength of that work was made a supervisor of department C, and was then promoted to assistant manager over departments B and C, and I work fairly closely with the current manager of department A.
And Gary Mitchell's fate is a good one, I just don't see a big rock holding down somebody with power like that. And an onscreen coda of the Voyager crew (with maybe even a better ending for Kes) would have been much appreciated.
In what capacity was he aboard the Enterprise? As crewmember? Visitor? CO of DS9? Passenger?
Well Geordie didnt just switch to a new department, he became the head of that department. I would think that being Chief engineer would require some specialized knowledge and maybe a degree.
He had a degree in "Starfleet" and was said to be pretty proficient at engineering stuff (doesn't Picard tell a story about Geordi spending all night tearing down a shuttle engine to find a flaw?). Like I said in my example, I was made supervisor of a department without any experience in that dept, because my upper mgmt felt that, even without the experience, my innate ability to pick up skills would allow me to figure out what to do, and they did.
Was that line uttered before or after Geordie's transfer? I've no problem rationalizing that Geordie was trained Engineer who somehow got sidetracked into piloting, but its a bit of a retcon.
Is where you work analogous to a Starship and is your department similar to its engineering department? If I ran a taxi company I'd prefer a trained mechanic was servicing my fleet and not one of the drivers.
Picard was there to deliver orders regarding DS9, and the Federation's specific interests in Bajor, and Sisko's duty in seeing that Bajor was made ready for Federation membership.
They may both have been in their respective positions of command, but it's still the same situation as Random Admiral contacting Random Captain to tell him or her where to go and what to do.
So Picard was a messenger boy?
PICARD: "Telegram for Mr. Sisko!!!!!"
I would think that Random Admiral would be Random Captain's superior officer.
The point was that when Sisko was on the Enterprise, he was most certainly not his equal.
