RIP Rene Auberjonois aka Odo (1940-2019)

[@oxogood9018]

hear hear,sadly missed great actor.

[@LastExileGames]

He's in the great link now.

[@PedroHenrique-xp4ey]

Grande personagem... inteligente e perspicaz! Assim como o Quark, um personagem magnífico e carismático.

[@geemonster9179]

Such a shame, he was brilliant and played Odo with aplomb.

Jeffrey Combs, The Man, The Legend.

[@stfuinc.202]

Just finished the show, and gotta say, the rumors were true. It is the best Star Trek series

[@robertb6362]

Favorite episodes?

Robert B The Visitor was the most emotional for me, trials and tribbleations was the most fun, and way of the warrior was just such great television. It’s hard to choose!

Jeffrey Combs has an amazing memory. He's been a very busy actor over the years. The fact he remembers details about Star Trek episodes he guest starred in 20 years ago is impressive.

[@Asiablu2004]

I LOVE Jeffrey Combs. His versatility in genres and his class really make him stand out in all he does.

Warf left off Picard ? Disgraceful

[@patryot5668]

check him out in Shudders Creepshow...as always he just dominates the scenes he's in..And best Andorian ever!!!!

[@VinnySlouth]

People think they have good or bad memories but a lot of the time it's down to what a person likes, Baseball fans can rattle off stats, theater buffs have entire plays memorized. Jeffrey must love what he does, which translates to the screen in his absolute master of the craft. If you want to be amazed by a persons memory check out the Archive interviews or anything else with Marilu Henner she could tell you every detail of any day since before she was on Taxi, seriously we're talking Rainman level here. Spooky!

[@CCat52]

I note that in 2019, Michael Dorn was 67; Jeffery Combs was 65, and Nana Visitor was 62. These people have taken very good care of themselves.

[@709mash]

DS9 was way ahead of its time. It paved the way to modern dark, serialized story telling.

[@lry8133]

DS9 wasn’t ahead of its time. JMS and Babylon 5 were, but Paramount stole the concepts and put them into production first.

[@joroberson4084]

I think DS9 is much better when you binge watch it. Back in the 90's I had to miss episodes due to work and lost interest, but it took on a new flavor when I re-watched it in sequence. Y'all did a great job bringing those characters alive.

[@DarthSideous63]

The biggest shame is the death of Rene Auberjonis. The chemistry of him and Armin (Quark) was the best.

[@Asiablu2004]

Deep Space Nine is, hands down still, my favorite of ALL the Star Trek shows to date. Not that I don't love the others ... I was in my 30's while this show was happening and I was ALL in then.

[@lindabuck2777]

Shawn Arndt man I miss Sisko! Love love love Nana from moment one and Dax. Strong females! For me, Captain Janeway, and Kira in an episode or two with her would be stunning. ❤️❤️❤️

[@MS-ns2pj]

Yes. It was darker and grittier than TNG.

[@julieontology7214]

I love this discussion because the audience is quiet then I can hear all of their responses perfectly. I hated the beginning when the announcer was screaming to announce the actors coming in. That was horrible. But this is a wonderful discussion. I'm glad I've seen all of the episodes multiple times so that I can relate to the answers. Three wonderful actors who have been a part of our lives four decades now!

[@youtubecommenter37]

Michael Dorn must kill it at conventions. He gets invited for both Next Generation and Deep Space Nine

[@TheAlfsterino]

I know two people who have gone through all the Trek series in order having known very little about them and both think DS9 is the best series. And one texted: Coombs in Enterprise!!!!! Shows you how much Coombs is loved.

[@GenX52]

I always wanted to see Worf die in a glorious battle as he's very old at this point, one last mission he won't come back from, and then have the last ten minutes with him in Stovokor, and then we get to see all the Klingons he knew through out the show, and a final shot of Jadzia walking towards him, and then finally embracing each other with a kiss, and as Worf looks into Jadzia's eye's he say's one last sentence,...It was, a good day to die.

[@seaconfused]

49:43 I love that Nana and Jeffrey in every interview, con etc *always* talk with so much respect about Avery Brooks. One more reason to love them. And one more time it's clear that Dorn didn't loved DS9, always talking about TNG even on DS9 panel :/

[@sj3054]

Just started binging DS9 and my favorite character is....Nog. The little guy is full of energy and spirit!!!

[@MS-ns2pj]

My favorite is Garak. 🤓

[@Brook11223]

Michael Dorn and Jeffrey Combs are incredible voice actors from voicing John Henry Iron, Gorgan, The Scarecrow, The Question, Kalibak, Prometheus, Ratchet.

[@canuckfreak007]

I'd like to see Jeffrey combs in the new Picard as an alien doesn't have to be a major character in just one line so you can hear his voice. He's been in so many different Star Treks over the years I think it would be fitting even dig up James Cromwell he played so many memorable aliens besides zefram Cochrane. I don't know just a thought

[@SkyhawksAu]

I'd love to see all of them pop in here and there. Imagine, Picard Season 2, the gang makes a stop at Deep Space 9.

[@Dimmary]

I don't. It's not star trek any more

[@VinnySlouth]

@@Dimmary I gave up middle of season one and have tried to watch more but it honestly seems like Picard was convinced there are now FIVE lights...

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

The moderator annoyed me too. Especially when they said John Lemmon and when Jeffrey corrected them to "jack", they immediately went "what's what i said." No. No it wasn't. Maybe get into the habit of admitting when you make a mistake, because when it's being filmed and you don't admit it, you look like a jerk. Especially when you suggest that THEY misheard you.

[@texmanro]

Dunno about u guys, but i love more Jeff than the other two. The way he acts it's better

[@ericrobertson3145]

I have a different take on Coomb's comment about actors being stereotyped because they do a "great job" in a particular genre. Julie Andrews was asked about her being stereotyped because of the success of "Mary Poppins" + "The Sound of Music" and she said it didn't bother her. Then she asked, rhetorically, "Did Clark Gable mind being identified with "Gone with the Wiind?" Neither Gable nor Andrews was stuck in a particular genre of acting due to their massive success in a single film or two.

[@ShawnTheSheep407]

Weyon for the win!!!

[@stephjovi]

afer watching DS9 on tv in the 90s I only rememered the Vorta Weyoun. I had no recollection of any other ones. He had burned himself into my teenage mind. i thought he was awesome.

Yeah they should probably get in the habit of admitting when wrong. Because when they refuse, especially when its on camera, they end up looking like a jerk. This was a great panel, but none of that can be credited to the host. Even beyond that moment, they seemed incredibly impatient with the audience questions.

The host was kind of rude to Jeffrey Combs. Sure, he was kinda babbling on a little long at points, but she treated him with such open contempt at a certain point. The point of a good host is to steer the conversation if it gets to that point, but she was bad at doing the steering.

[@FandomSpotlite]

Honestly, I wasn't impressed with her moderating. She tried to draw attention to herself, which is not how I moderate panels.

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

@@FandomSpotlite When she said "John Lemon" and Jeffrey corrected her. And she immediately went "that's what i said". That pissed me off. She should get into the habit of admitting when wrong. Because when it's literally being filmed and put on the internet, she ends up looking like a jerk. Usually the moderators don't affect my enjoyment of a panel, as you are right, the attention shouldn't be drawn on herself, but the guests on stage. So I'll be honest, she totally ruined this panel for me.

[@FandomSpotlite]

I would agree that the best moderators I've seen put the focus where it belongs: on the guests. They may ask some initial questions, but then they let the guest answer. I think some moderators forget they aren't a celebrity themselves. (There was another moderator at this con who WAS also a celebrity - voice actor - and kept the focus on the guests.)

[@seangSTM]

@@FandomSpotlite I think its a question of being able to moderate well. These two, especially the woman constant lassoing the spotlight back on to her or what she thought, isn't good. The cringeworthy intros were a huge red flag. lol
