Issues with DS9

[jimbtnp2]

.. and sometimes annoying

and always an insult to adult sci fi

No I have to disagree, sorry:

"Spock's Brain" is an insult to Sci-Fi.

"Galactica 1980" is an insult to Sci-Fi.

"Superman: IV" is not only an insult to Sci-Fi but a waste of time and film.

Oh ya, about 1/2 the stuff on the Sci-Si channel is an insult to Sci-Fi, not Vic Fontaine.

Of course, MHO "Pally".

Spocks Brain is art compared to ferengi clowns in space or Vic fontaine

You just like to say outlandish things don't you? If you don't like DS9, that is fine, I am still very content with my life...

#1 - Ferengi are CLOWNS - turning ST into Lost in Space

maybe them weren't as threatening as GR had intended but the Ferengi in seasons 1-2 of TNG were at least not a joke

Yes they were a joke in TNG. They were supposed to be a serious enemy but looked far too comical, so DS9 took them and made them far more effective as charming schemers who are much deeper in culture and thought that most would initially assume.

#2 - The music - think grand not MUSAK which was Berman's edict that still has me saying WTF?

The music merely needs to set the tone and support what is occuring on screen. It doesn't need to be blantantly obvious or cheesy like it was in TNG's early seasons.

#3 - Vic Fontaine - Why WHY WHYYYYY

To provide a more contemporary commentary on the events and characters of the 24th century, and also to act as a sounding board for various characters, like Guinan was.

#4 - Serialized war - this isn't as bad as nuBSG but the beginnings of soap opera were planted

And that's a bad thing? As opposed to what? The reset button being pressed at the end of every episode? Hey, wars last a long time. They should not be wrapped up in one episode.

#5 - 110# woman tossing 220# men around like rag dolls - come on

Depends on the training she's had. There are female cops who weigh less than me who could certainly kick the shit out of me.

#6 - Too much technobabble and talking in general

DS9 was relatively light on technobabble.

As for talking, that's what characters are supposed to do.

and NO way GR would go for this

Who cares?

Seriously.

GR thought Deanna Troi and Wesley Crusher were good ideas.

Doesn't mean they were.

But probably not using Kira's linear force techniques. Not against Klingons twice her size. But they're actors, not martial artists.

and the list goes on

saddly because there was alot to like and some good actors but once you throw in Rom or Zek ----- well you get the point

and NO way GR would go for this

Troll, much?

Who wouldn't wanna be Vic Fontaine's pally. Vic is amazing.

^ No, I agree with you. I've noticed his "other thread" in the Voyager forum as well. It's Sad, huh?

Iits sad stating the obvious about a bad show and overated DS9?

and always an insult to adult sci fi

No I have to disagree, sorry:

Okay, jimbtnp2.

I told you earlier in the thread to knock off the hostility.

You didn't listen.

Further, it is abundantly clear that you started this thread, and the similar one in the VOY forum, just to stir up shit.

Therefore you have a warning for trolling.

Comments to PM.

And thread closed.
