jimternet@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•I just finished DS9, and I'm sad to know that we'll never get anything like it againEnglish11·2 years agoThere’s a quite long series of novels that follows on from DS9, starting with Avatar books one and two.
Later they intertwine with Next Gen, Voyager, and (briefly) Enterprise continuation novels too.
But that series was wrapped up a couple of years ago after Picard started, because the TV series contradicted the novels, and the publishers wanted to get back into sync.
I really enjoyed following along with the continued adventures of the ds9 crew.

jimternet@startrek.websiteto Risa@startrek.website•Rookie mistake for a Chief EngineerEnglish5·2 years agoI think there is a reference to a third kid who we don’t see on screen.

A Stitch In Time, by Garak, is also generally considered top of the class.

jimternet@startrek.websiteto Risa@startrek.website•Two… wait… three? Saavik was a foster, does that count?English6·2 years agoShe was once. Then she was played by Robin Curtis in her two later appearances. Which at the time was unusual in Star Trek.
Now loads of characters have had two or three different actors play them.
jimternet@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Why did Vic Fontaine sang entire songs in the later seasons of DS9?English20·2 years agoIt felt totally natural to me watching it first time round. It’s part of DS9’s thing to be about a group of people who stay in one place and have lives and relationships. And it’s part of DS9’s thing to throw in stuff and let it grow if it works.
It balances against the harsh darkness of the main storyline, and in a 26 episode series you can’t just bash out war after war after war episode - everyone needs a break.
Probably also helps that it’s likely cheaper than other stuff to produce and means they can save some budget for a space battle in another episode.

jimternet@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x04 "Among the Lotus Eaters"English1·2 years agoYeah I thought exactly the same!
In the 90s series too, especially the women.
In Voyager, every main cast member is wigged to some extent, even if just false sideburns. Except apparently the Doctor who grew his own pointy sideburns and was clearly not bewigged on top.
Robert Picardo talked about this on I think a podcast I listened to several years ago, so sadly I can’t link to the source as I don’t recall where it was.
