There's just something about Picard that is impressive, they've had plenty of captains & even admirals on DS9 walking around the station but none have had the sheer presence & authority that Picard has. Whenever he's around, even when surrounded by admirals he always feels like he owns the room and is the most important person there.

Fuzzy Duo Honestly its more of a “The Crew of The Enterprise affect” When people see Spock, or Kirk, or Scotty. They would just watch them to scared to even approach the fam’d crew...the crew that had brought the galaxy so much closer! Thats why we only see the top of the top of starfleet ever talking to the Captain’s. Like “Sir the President is hailing us” Or ect. When it came to picard it was just even mulified by the adventures that came with Enterprise; I mean where were limited Galaxy Class ships and even then we only remember a few of the important ones. Its always in my opinion that the captain of the Enterprise has more pull than the President of the United Federation

The handshake at 1:12 is such a great moment and confirms Sisko has moved past his past trauma and his wife's death. In the prior meeting with Picard Sisko was seething with barely contained anger and rage, blaming Picard for the death of his wife. However here, after the Prophets have helped Sisko move on, we see Sisko no longer holds any grudges or ill-will against Picard and no longer holds Picard responsible for his wife's death. My God this show was well written, it's a pity what's happened to modern Star Trek.

Yes, if only Picard could've somehow made a cameo when Worf later joined the DS9 crew in "The Way of the Warrior" even though that was after the Enterprise-D was destroyed.

Mostly, that is the result of limited available space for the sets during production. The only way to avoid that problem and to do justice to the franchise is to set up an entire studio dedicated to the production of Star Trek.

Offscreen I'd like to think that Picard pulled some strings here as Starfleet command likely wanted to get a higher ranking officer in charge of DS9 due to its new role (vs the original one pre-wormhole) requiring a significantly higher level of responsibility. Instead, Picard insisted to keep Sisko in charge.

[@tarn1135]

Did the Enterprise head into the Gamma quadrant? You know to do a quick survey and maybe plant the flag of “we were here first?”

[@hobomike6935]

Most likely. the tv show makes it look like they left as soon as picard wished sisko "good luck," but in reality they likely stayed in the area for several weeks to run surveys, scans, launch some probes, and to keep the cardassians away while Starfleet command set up an official supply line to the station. Their ship has some of the best close and long-range sensor arrays in the federation so it was only natural they stay there to get some readings on a rare stable wormhole. once there's a few starships moving in and out of the station every few weeks, DS9 itself can get enough supplies and fortifications to be able to hold it's own against enemy incursions.

Unpopular opinion: ignoring shows and what one may think of them, Sisko was actually the best captain in Star Trek history. He started with the least and built the most.

Season and episode, please?

[@balbarith45]

what sad about this is that not one time after this did Patrick steward ever come back. I would have loved to see him helping out in the Dominion war.

April 5, 2063. Can you please upload the scene where the Enterprise NX-01 tests it new torpedoes on Dura's Klingon Bird of Prey from "Star Trek: Enterprise" Season 2 Episode 26 "The Expanse?" And can you also upload the Archer Maneuver scene and also the Augment battle over the Klingon colony scene from "Star Trek: Enterprise" Season 4 Episode 6 "The Augments?" My one last request is that can you please upload Archer's escape from Klingon Transport ship/Rescue/Battle scene from "Star Trek: Enterprise" Season 2 Episode 25 "Bounty?"

[@April-dv2pb]

Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2 Episode 26. Is in Star Trek Enterprise playlist number 36. Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2 Episode 25. I will post that on 4-15-19. As for The Augments Episode it may take me sometime because I always have trouble upload that episode.

Commander Benjamin Sisco is bad ass

[@BrentHarmon]

It's too bad they didn't include more episodes with the Enterprise and Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Crew

[@Littletime839]

Why did Picard address him as Mr Sisko?

[@johnking5174]

Sisko was not captain of a starship, he was in charge of Deep Space Nine, which is a space station, so he addressed him slightly differently since Sisko was not in command of a ship.

[@Littletime839]

@@johnking5174 He is wearing a uniform with 3 pips meaning his rank is Commander.

[@timw483]

From the time when Star Trek was still awesome

[@Matuse]

Of course in reality, there's no way they would let that station and system stay under the command of a commander. There'd be 10 admirals there in a week to run everything.

[@clrobertson13]

Remember, the station is Bajoran and the Federation is their at their request. They would have a lot to say about who was running their space station.
