Maj. Kira

Me and my friends thought she was the cat's meow when DS9 first came out. We were religious about catching the new episodes to see our honey. We even had a nice big screen TV in our Barracks.
But as time went on, I just thought she was being used as a romantic interlude for every Vedek that came around. Nothing against the character, just some bad writing.

Looking back, I really liked the fiery Major Kira, cute, too. Though there were times when she was too volatile and quick tempered. Both she and Sisko were quite intense at times.
I much preferred the shape of the original Bajoran uniform to the later costume, though the later was a better color.

I think Kira is a great character.
And I liked the fact that she was volatile and quick tempered in the beginning but learnt a few things about herself during the course of the seasons and could control it better in the end.

I think Kira's great, but when DS9 first aired, it took me a few episodes to warm up to the character. I kind of thought she was a bit too hardcore at first. The thing is, I never felt that way watching the early episodes in repeats. I guess knowing what made her tick helped.
^ That is exactly what happened to me. Back when I was watching the show in first run, I didn't like her during the first couple of episodes - she seemed too pissed off.
But now I go back and watch those episodes and she doesn't annoy me in the slightest.

I love her. She's strong, intense and apparently has a pms issue. Just my kind of woman.
On a more serious note, though: I agree with what's been said- when I first started watching the show, she really annoyed me. But now that I know her character, I love her throughout the seasons.

I absolutely can't stand Kira in the early seasons. She's contantly being bitchy and incredibly obnoxious for no reason whatsoever, just like Keiko.
At least Kira grew out of that phase for the most part (although it did resurface in later seasons from time to time).
In any case had Kira stayed with the same demeanour she had in the early seasons for the whole series, she'd easily be right up there with Keiko, Lwaxana Troi, Wesley Crusher, Neelix etc. as the most annoying Trek character of all-time.

I loved Kira's character right from the beginning. She and Odo were my favourite characters from day one. And a big part of that was the piss-and-vinegar attitude. After five years of beige and blandness on TNG, she was a wonderful breath of fresh air and proof that DS9 was not just more of the same.
When she, as you say, "grew out of it" in season 4, it ruined her for me, because she simply wasn't Kira anymore.
