Star Trek Deep Space Nine is hands-down my favorite Trek series, but some of the 'what if' threads that have popped up recently have got me thinking: what could have/should have been reworked to make the series better than it already was? Here's what I'd do:
- Ro Laren should've been involved in some capacity, even if they had to recast the role. If I was going to rework the series, I'd recast the role, and then bring in the character of Kira Nerys in a different capacity.
- The story arcs of the early seasons should've been brought to conclusion, and more should've been made of the Maquis. Tom Riker should've been featured more than once, and a few Voyager characters should've been introduced (I would've introduced Chakotay, Tom Paris, and B'Elanna at the very least).
- Worf should not have been the only 'TNG Klingon' brought into the series on a recurring basis. A 'lesser known' Klingon character like Klag would've been a great addition, IMO, to the cast, and would've highlighted the growing tensions between Starfleet and the Klingon Empire caused by the events of the Dominion War.
Thoughts?
