DS9 was always my favorite serious, not only because the cast was diverse but because it was so different from Next Gen. But yeah, as a Latino kid, seeing a black man as the captain, even back then blew my mind. I'll be 45 this year, and I still watch the entire series at least once a year.

[@DarthSideous63]

Sisko was the best Captain cause we all saw the weight of The Dominion War taking a huge toll on him.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

I didnt like him at all at first. But by the end, I have him the same tier as Picard.

[@krane15]

@@ChairmanMeow1 Neither did I. He was dull and a weak captain at first. I liked him because he was vulnerable. He made mistakes and learned from them. He was also the only captain with a kid and that got to have a romance, and eventually get married.

[@wasabiginger6993]

Thanks so much for this one! DS9 was always my fav, so character rich. But had heard that many Star Trek fans did not like it due to it being a stationary station rather than a ship traveling thru space. So IMO they were missing the whole point of so many great characters … introducing so much galactic diversity that who knows, we as humans need to be ready for any day now … please.

[@alice_agogo]

ron moore can bore you to death with his writing.

[@emeraldaly7646]

I'm shocked you didn't mention "24" for Penny Johnson. She had a massive supporting role in the first few seasons.

[@kevwwong]

Sherry Palmer. That is the other role I remember her for. Didn't even realize she was on the Orville.

[@QuintusAntonious]

Wow it's amazing how much Cirroc Lofton looks like Avery Brooks as he's aged. If you told me they were for-real father and son, I'd believe it.

[@krane15]

Talk about growth spurts. I remember ending Season 2 shorter than Brooks, returned season 3 taller.

[@aoinatafanboy84]

I find it a little funny they mention Benson but left out the fact thats the first time he worked with Star Trek actors. Neelix was also a regular character

[@scottmantooth8785]

*it would be very fitting for Sisko to return to Bajor after a century or more and meet the decedents of his daughter and still be revered as the historic Emissary who battled the Pah Wraiths and won*

[@OdariArt]

Marc Alaimo was in Tolal Recall along with to others that were in Star Trek also. Lycia Naff and Robert Picardo.

[@gandalfthegay420]

Micheal Dorn also played Worfs Grandfather in The undiscovered country. He's representing Kirk and Bones in the klingon courthouse. That's such a good film and I highly recommend the pc game klingon Academy that acts as it prequel. The cutscenes are magnificent and the story building sets you up perfectly for the film.

[@alyzu4755]

Got to work briefly with Andrew Robinson many years ago. Very cool guy. 😊

[@emperorgizmo3014]

You forgot to mention that Colm Meany was also a bad guy in, "Under Siege" with Steven Segal and Tommy Lee Jones.

He was evil in SGA too. Until he got nuked.

[@MrBerniemcgovern]

Oh man, a Sisko series would be amazing

[@stevenserna910]

Yes, that would be awesome. But it will be interesting how he would come back to being human again after spending all that time as one of the aliens in the wormhole. On another note, I'd like for Avery Brooks to comeback and do a remake tv series of "77 Sunset Strip". He would play Efram Zimbelest Jr.'s role, but would play it "cool", like Hawk, & would run the PI agency, Hell, you could have Cirroc Lofton come back as "Kookie", and be the man on the street with all the angles, and the women. Michael Dorn could come back as a tough LAPD detective/contact for Avery's character. Man, that would be a cool way to reunite the DS9 cast that are still with us.

[@dante6985]

With how Picard turned out, I'm so-so on that. (Ignore S1, S2, S3 is solid if not derivative).

Love Deep Space Nine! Have watched all of the StarTrek series. This one is my favourite. All those strange species. Wonderfull! Don't understand any of the technical stuff(who would?) So,that's quite boring. But other than that it's exiting,sometimes sad,sometimes funny. What I like most of all are the Ferengis,espially my beloved Quark,with his love of latimun.

Star Trek TNG was fairly new when I attended my first Trek convention and Colm Meaney was the guest speaker.
