Kira's completely unlikeable
- Thread starter Ghost Bones
- Start date
Kira is about as innocuous as they come, "they" being ex-terrorist Bajoran majors of course. She's outgoing and upbeat and has a sense of humour. She also expresses concern for her friends and exhibits a sense of camaraderie. Not getting the "bitch" thing, but then again my experience of DS9 in the last ten years consists mainly of watching seasons three and four on DVD.
Yeah... I confess! I was implying.
I confess that I find it difficult to take comments very seriously when the choice of words and tone are so over-the-top-angry and -quite honestly- whiney. Seemingly way out of proportion given the subject.
If Kira's character was to be critiqued, I think there are better, more honest, more constructive ways to accomplish it than resorting to using exaggerated, goofy barroom names like "butch leeza with shoulderpads", "arsehole", "fucking bitch", etc. How does this help the discussion along?
While I read "Kira's completely unlikeable", I hear "I am angry! Hey! Look at me!"
Why so angry?
You should lighten up!
Kira was probably the best character on the show, and from the start they didn't make her all cute like with Jadzia in terms of looks and costumes. I also think Kira beats Jadzia in terms of looks any day.
The best thing about Kira was that she had a personality, but she genuinely changed, she realised not all Cardassians were the enemy (even made friends with a few of them), she found some sort of closure with her life (in that I mean she became steadily calmer as the seasons progressed). She also had one hell of a temper, and it was good seeing her get angry when she got really narked off.
In short it was a real pleasure seeing Kira's character grow and change, plus she and Odo made a cute couple. I think the use of the word 'bitch' is misplaced, you say that to her and she'll break your nose!

But Quark likes vindictive bitch-twats with bad haircuts and stupid shoulderpads. That's his thing.
Wow 2 in a week
You got that right.
I only wish Kira had killed Winn personally. She always wanted to...hell, *I* always wanted to. Every time Winn said "child..." it made my blood boil.
As for Kira, I liked her very much. She was strong but also had a sense of humor. Nana Visitor's said many times how much she enjoyed playing Kira (and would play her again in a heartbeat) - you could tell just by watching. And she was smokin' hot - even WITH the damn shoulder pads.
Hmmm, that would make a good idea for the next series - sort of a day-in-the-life of Kira. They could call it...26!
Yup. I wasted too much time reading the first. I'm out of this one now.
Nope - great character, probably \treks best female (surprising for me - I have a low tolerance for religious types) and I liked Dax too. The only female Trek character I have really disliked was Janeway.
Sisko was really hard to like in the early seasons, but with great writing and superb acting I really grew to like him...

Superb acting had you liking Sisko? Whose superb acting?
I think Kira was one of the best characters in all the series.
Also this topic smacks of TC possibly having girl problems in real life.

We've had this discussion several times before. Kira tends to frighten insecure males, who expose their insecurity by starting threads like this. /thread
An interesting theory, with no basis in fact. But people do like to try and write off opinions they disagree with rather than discuss them. It's a shame really.
Me too. Not only that, this comes from a poster with a history of claiming the Occupation was a wonderful thing and Dukat was just this wonderful, misunderstood man who only wanted to help his Bajoran "children."
When did I claim the Occupation was a wonderful thing?
Yeah, Kira was such a bitch. I can totally see her writing all over the Bajoran Wide Web to comment what violent assholes those Libyan rebels posting videos of a dead Gaddafi are. She'd probably even insult their shoes for being too utilitarian.
Geez, project much?
