Basically you find out Sisko is half profit then he gets stabbed for no apparent reason and IT WAS NEVER EXPLAINED! If a main character gets explained don't you investigate why?
They did explain it, the Bajoran guy that stabbed him followed the Pah-wraiths, and since Sisko was essentially the Prophet version of Jesus the Pah-wraith guy decided to kill him. Religious nutters have been killing people and claiming glory from it for thousands of years.
You replace a Dax with a weaker child basically to play that role. A role with 10 life times basically becomes a whiney little child like character. Look at Ezri she complains nearly all the time. I came from kinda liking Dax before to hating Dax just like that. When Jadzia was Dax I remember some people complaining that she wasn't a strong enough character. I kinda disagree but I can understand that a little bit. But you replace her with a character that weak.
Well, this is a personal preference thing, all I can say is that I liked Ezri and preferred her to Jadzia. As for why Ezri was different from Jadzia, all the hosts are supposed to be different while keeping some of the same attributes. Personally, I feel that Ezri captured some of the traits Jadzia had back in season 1, before she fully integrated the memories from the symbiont into her own. No doubt as time goes by Ezri would also change to be more like Dax, and I would also argue that you already see some of this transition by
WYLB.
The Bajorans who had no idea that there was a wormhole 5 years before and were faith based, most of their people didn't need orb of anything to have their faith. You don't see someone go from being a christian then for some reason losing all faith then praise Satan for almost no real reason. Yet that's exactly what a portion of the Bajorans do. They suddenly start praising Hell.
Not all Bajorans worship the Prophets as gods, and a small number of them already worshipped the Pah-wraiths before the events of
Tears of the Prophets, but after those events the Pah-wraith worshippers came out into the open. It would be more akin to Satan revealing himself to the world as being real and suddenly all the Satanists that had existed in secret coming out of the woodwork and worshipping him in the open. That's how I read that situation.
Was having a holographic bar really necessary when you have Quarks? I understand having a similar thing in Voyager. It actually fits in that show a little better. But we already have a bar where everyone hangs out in Quarks on DS9. Why have the entire Vic Fontane thing? Yeah Quark doesn't sing but he's pretty much better at everything else than Vic is. There was no need for this entire thing on the show. And I don't see Quark allowing for something like that also because it would be bad for his business to have another bar. Really the only reason to have it was someone singing a couple 50s Sinatra type songs and I have great respect for Sinatra. It just doesn't make sense for a SciFi show.
Neither does Picard pretending to be a PI in the 1930s, or Data pretending to be Sherlock Holmes, or Worf being a sheriff in the wild west, or Dr Shmully being a Viking warrior. But this is Star Trek, and the holodeck was part of the franchise ever since the pilot of TNG.
I didn't like Vic at first either, but as I've rewatched the show he has grown on me to the point where I don't mind him, and I even enjoy his presence in
It's Only a Paper Moon. He's not a great part of the show, but he's okay.
The other part of the Dominion being dumbed down is that they were basically beat by group of Cardasians and Kira led by an alcoholic back ground character for most of the show. I still don't understand how they tried to make Damar a leader. I didn't see him as a leader at any point. He's Dukat's 2nd in command then he's the 2nd command to the Dominion and an alcoholic. Even when he becomes an underground leader the only reason they show him as a leader is because he says he is. He never actually does anything as a leader. Somehow that group beats the unbeatable dominion. Granted he dies at the end but even that was emotionless.
The Cardassian resistance didn't win, they were completely wiped out, remember? The only reason the Cardassians "won" was because the actions of the Dominion incited most of the population into open revolt, and combined with the fact that Dominion HQ was short-staffed due to THE HUGE FEDERATION FLEET IN ORBIT, some Cardassians managed to break in. Remove the Federation fleet and the Cardassians would simply have been quashed.
Now to the end. First off I still don't get the Bashir/Dax thing. I mean WHY?That really served no purpose except to put 2 characters together. Just like 7 and Chackotay getting together the last episode. I still don't get it.
Why not? Two people being attracted to one another doesn't make sense, there's no rhyme or reason to it, it just happens. And it's not like it came from out of the blue, Julian chased after Jadzia from his very first scene in the show, and in season six he was forced to accept the fact that he loved her even though she was with Worf. It makes perfect sense that he would be attracted to Ezri.
But you have Odo leaving to heal his people who are evil and just tried to take over the Alpha quadrant and have been the same way for thousands of years. Yet he expects to change that attitude. Yeah right!
The Changelings sent out the 100 in the hopes that they would come back one day and teach them about the cultures they met, all Odo was doing was fulfilling his destiny. Nobody is suggesting that the entire Link will change their opinion overnight, but Odo went back to try and show them how not all solids should be feared. It may take centuries, it may not happen at all, but he's right to try.
Sisko leaves to save Bajor from Satan(Dukat) in the Fire caves in a real weak fight. and leaves his wife and baby alone.Worf leaves for basically no reason. Miles leaves also. Why does everyone have to leave in the last show? That basically destroys any chance for a future TV movie or mini series or anything like any fans want. I can understand having Sisko go to Profit heaven to be with the profits but why does everyone leave?
Because Ira Behr was smart enough to know that shows end and he didn't want somebody else coming along years later and messing with "his" show. Just look at what happened with TNG, that show should have ended with
All Good Things, but instead they did a bunch of superfluous movies that failed to live up to the show. I'm a huge DS9 fan, it's probably my favourite show (warts and all), but I don't want any more DS9. It had its time and its over, and I'm happy with that.
That way you can have pubs that cater to different types of audience, such as one for the kids that like listening to the music of Dizzy Dogg or Calvin Guetta, and one for the older folks that like reading newspapers and chewing tobacco, and one for the ladies that like kissing other ladies... and so on. I wasn't aware that having more than one bar in a town was a localised phenomenon.
