Deep Space 9 Panel (Part 2 out of 2) at the 2016 Star Trek Convention

[@enjolraslechimiste]

Just saw the little note you flashed about security accosting you! Thank you so much for doing this despite the pressure on you. I am even more appreciative than before; you really are a die-hard fan AND you want to spread your Trek love. I feel indebted.

[@vanmoody]

They ought to give Heather a press pass. She is free advertising for them.

[@Hoganply]

Love these videos so much. Thank you, Heather.

[@StarfleetUnderground]

[@DeconvertedMan]

I think that this is... fantasizing!

[@Krees82]

I briefly met Nana Visitor at a Comic Con last year. She was as absolutely delightful and pleasant as she appeared here.

[@MrStolt]

Thanks a lot for the chance to "be" there with these recordings, even for those of us who live far, far away! :)

[@j.j.867]

Thank you so much for all the videos posted from 2k16 and 2k17 conventions. For the filming job too, it wouldn't be easy, and the result is very good (considering the conditions).

[@StarfleetUnderground]

Thank you!

[@janeqpub3517]

Creation makes millions off the fans, and they didn't want you to be able to share it? Thanks for being so spunky! I couldn't afford tix or travel and this is great! Bless you!!!

[@StarfleetUnderground]

lol :) Thanks!

[@SB0780]

What classy ladies. Best show! Thanks for the upload.

[@tommye.3754]

I can't thank you enough for the risk taken to take and post these. I appreciate them like so many others! THANK YOU!

[@StarfleetUnderground]

hahaha :) Thanks!

[@BezoRazo]

Thank goodness you weren't thrown into a holding cell! xP

[@tnickknight]

DS9 the best Trek series by a light mile. Period. The ladies really look good,

[@MKDumas1981]

Nick Usalis Knight A light mile is not a unit of distance. If the word "light" is used, a unit of time has to follow it - ex. "Light year" - because it's describing how far light has traveled in that amount of time.

[@vanmoody]

All three have aged well. It's amazing. Star Trek keeps you young. Let's all go watch some Star Trek.

[@escelante]

Glad the tallest guy in Las Vegas decided to sit in front of your camera.

[@everythingphil9376]

DS9 was my favorite as well.

[@garrettdark5668]

Thanks for recording these and sharing them despite security trying to hassle you. Can't believe they're still trying to restrict people in this age of smartphones and action cams, they need to give it up already....it's part of the purpose why some people come to cons, they want to record everything like it's their vacation because it sort of is. It's becoming the norm and isn't going to stop.

[@Bill_Woo]

Jesus Christ, that teenage girl on the right is 46 years old in the video. Man, oh man.

[@nazeradom]

Terry Farrell is still as beautiful as she was in DS9, so elegant!

[@oldman1037]

Watched Both Parts. Thanks for uploading. I was a bit surprised Nana didn't get more questions.

[@BezoRazo]

Me too! Maybe just too intimidated ;-) That Kira's a real Hasperat!

[@Norvo82]

:-) Seeing all these wonderful actors together again really makes me feel sorry the new Star Trek show won't be a continuation of the TNG/DS9/VOY chronology. Same timeline, just way in the past. How great would it be to revisit Deep Space Nine 15 years later in a Netflix type 13 episode deal? Pretty sure Morn would still be at Quark's.

[@chrisThurt4269]

I was made to understand that the new series was actually going to be part of the new timeline. I hope I'm wrong about that. And YES I would love to see something new on the DS9 front! I can see many ways they could create something new off the way the last episode ended. I didn't take that final scene to be at all the Permanent End since we know the Prophets are not limited to linear timelines.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

I really want to see a big movie or one off special where the casts from all of the shows come together to fight a super villain. I want to see how the relationships are doing & what they all got up too. (And bring Data back through some sci fi story)

[@Theogvineofthedead]

thanks for all of the uploads :D so appreciated

[@TheSgtblade]

I'm really grateful she (Nana Visitor) brought attention to PTSD - I love view that the disorder part should be dropped from the phrase.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

I like how Star Trek brought up issues like interracial relationships, same sex relationships, gender, PTSD doing what you have to do to survive during war, and just morality.

[@fenwyk7937]

Man, Nicole de Boer is even more beautiful now than she was as Ezri Dax. I know everyone is always hung up with Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine) - but for me, Nicole easily wins for just being stunning.

[@Maazzzo]

Panel with amazing, talented, experienced, intelligent women and most the fan questions to Ira.

[@FunkeeMawnkee]

Nana Visitor has a cruella deville thing goin on, and I like it.

[@charlesbalcer2780]

When Farrell asks if her character can come back like Spock, what does Behr say in response? I couldn't make it out.

[@TheNakedSilo]

First he says "Why not?" then I'm pretty sure he follows with "NOW she wants to come back!"

[@AnthonyP73]

The two original cast ladies have aged beautifully, but what the heck is going on with Nicole!! She looks THE SAME!! Incredible, it's like no time has passed since she debuted after Terry left.

[@adamj6645]

Nicole de Boer is still hot.

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

I think they all are. Very beautiful talented actresses.

[@robertthomas5736]

The Ladies of Star Trek Deep Space Nine!

[@MKDumas1981]

12:06 - “Each of these ladies' characters had undergone a huge transformation." Yeah. One of them transformed into one of the other ones.

[@johnmoldoch4291]

Is that NiColle DeBore on the right ?

[@BezoRazo]

A question I would be tempted to ask Nicole (Ezri) is if that brutal scene with Andrew (Garak) wherein he is making the most withering remarks about her basically being a miserably poor replacement for Jadzia perhaps cut a little too near the bone? :-)

[@aaronknight7129]

We are fun people just not at work quote feels like I just got called out

[@MrJoeRiley]

has kira come as vala maldoran?

[@BezoRazo]

20:47 They...forgot Quark?!? o_O

[@kenpstok151]

It reminds me of the episode when Dax and Kira started off in a shuttle and Dax was talking about Morn and Kira was like "Whaaaaat? Morn?" hahahaha

[@gregtaitt4080]

I love you, nicole.

[@TYTfan]

Haha, you are a badass.

[@AntLeonardi01]

Am I the only one that wishes they did the character makeup during panels? Surely the trill tattoos or bajoran nose wouldn't take long to apply, and the fans would go nuts for it.

[@treytopdogellis5023]

I wonder when Terry will be appearing at her next Becker convention.

[@vaskylark]

Love Nicole Deboer in the movie the Cube, but as Dax...No. Maybe if there were more seasons I would have warmed up to her but for me Terry Farrell is the only Dax.

[@Wizardofgosz]

So why did they do a separate men/women panels?

[@NuntiusLegis]

Behr has quite a beard for a woman.

[@juresaiyan]

I LOVE DS9!!!!!!

[@vanmoody]

The moral of the story is don't argue with three women if you are a man. As far as Ferengi humor. I rolled on the floor when Quark was reciting a Ferengi children's rhyme.

[@MKDumas1981]

Kira as Anastasia Komananov: "Hoo eez Dax!?"

[@arturosuarez6958]

35:00 its me asking!!!

[@nythepremier]

Heather which series is your favorite?

[@StarfleetUnderground]

DS9 is my favorite. I love how dark and gritty it is compared to the other series. What about you? What's your favorite series?

[@nythepremier]

Growing up it was TNG, but as I got older it became DS9. I love how dark and gritty it is too and DS9 has some of the best moments in the Star Trek universe.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

I like how well the acting and writing is in DS9. TNG had SIr Patrick Stewart & Brent Spiner, but DS9 had so many great actors.

[@jerrymander6319]

I was thinking exactly what Terry said about Dax being pansexual. Part of the reason Dax was mah favs

[@NuntiusLegis]

I remember Kira making fun of the fact that Jedzia even dated an alien with a transparent head. I guesss when you're several hundred years old, you get really experimental to avoid boredom.

[@MKDumas1981]

Because the symbiont can go from a (hetero- or homosexual) male to a female host in the blink of an eye, I would think that none of the symbionts would have a sexual orientation of their own; it would be based on the host, to a degree, but, whateversexuality would be pretty common.

[@DimitriYar]

OMG Terry Farrell aged NOT a bit. Still hot. :)

[@jacobmanfield6758]

Wow this panel is awkward. Terry was pushed off the show, is still sensitive about it, and new Dax is at her side and looks uncomfortable. Behr is too brusque and mentioned that the cast was resentful that Nicole was getting so much airtime. And he actually had the nerve to say Nana should have been on the pill instead of getting pregnant and inconveniencing the producers.

[@oldman1037]

Gosh Darn Big Head.... :(

[@animalyze7120]

I'll never understand why after 6 years Terry decided to leave the show. It messed up the 7th season so bad and to only have to finish up 1 more season after all that time I can't see her decision based on anything other than just weird. It's like having bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th...no outs no strikes losing by 1 point and just calling a forfeit. So many stories were gonna come out of the Klingon/Trill union and thought it would make great episodes....they even hinted that Jadzia could have a child with Worf. Then she disappears like a fart in the wind...1 more season? aww comon I did 6...enoughs enough...seriously what was Terry thinking??

[@jacobmanfield6758]

She quit because of the rampant sexism and favoritism by Rick Berman and other producers Colm Meany and Avery Brooks were allowed to do projects outside of Trek and were given time off. Terry asked for five days off to do a Seinfeld episode and Rick wouldn't allow it. When it was time to sign up for a seventh season with an eighth season option, Terry asked for a raise (since Star Trek paid crap wages) or the ability to be recurring. The answer was always no. She felt unappreciated so she left the series. The franchise preached tolerance and equality but the producers were horrible to the actresses. Gates McFadden was fired for one season for speaking up for herself. And even though several male actors was given opportunities to direct she wasnt given a chance until the final season even though she had a lot of experience. And favoritism was another reason. Wil Wheaton asked for a few days off in the beginning of season 4 so he could star in a movie during his hiatus. Rick Berman said no. And then he wasn't given any screen time for the episode he was asking for time off from. This had happened several times before, so Wil decided to leave and not have to deal with Rick's mind games.

[@TheFtm22]

Here's a link to her panel where she explains this quite well starting at 25:30 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iISzpKufpN6UjJI . She was in the right and I am so glad she made this public as I always suspected she didn't want to leave to "pursue other endeavors" as is the typical party line.

[@MKDumas1981]

A transgenderish pansexualish character is forward-thinking? Dax wasn't the first Trill in the Star Trek universe.
