Additional Enterprise-D Transfers To DS9?

Somehow I think it's good if every series has it's own characters. There is no real need to mix it up (even whén this already happened and happens).

I agree, but it's always great to see some character from one series show up now and then in another related series, like in the NCIS series, CSI series and Stargate.
 
Make there be a good reason for the crossover. Not just, "you know who I'd like to see interact with the characters on this show?"

For instance, The King of Queens was a spinoff of Everybody Loves Raymond. Kevin James played a friend of Ray's named Kevin in several episodes, then appeared later as Doug when Ray was waiting for a package delivery. Having established his friendship with Doug in both shows (TKOQ's "Road Rayge" is where they first met, and ELR's "The Lone Barone", airing the same day, had the package delivery story), it only made sense that they would hang out occasionally in TKOQ. They didn't have Ray and Doug be strangers who randomly meet somewhere and keep running into each other constantly in serendipitous circumstances.

Unfortunately the series you mention haven't made it to my distant shore of the universe yet so I can't comment on them.

But I agree that it has to be some meaning with a crossover as well.
 
It should be something where if you replace the crossover character with a new character, the plot still makes sense (with a little editing to change specific details).
 
Kira disagreed.

"I give you my word. We'll get you out of there, Tom. I promise you that."

Pretty categorical!
That doesn't mean she "left him" at all. And Kira was perhaps just being nice (tempered by her automatic dislike for all things Cardassian.) Tom doesn't deserve jack shit.

Not very nice to give the poor, condemned guy false hope! All he wanted was to be valued and to expose a potential Cardassian invasion. He might have helped to prevent a genocide.
