Twenty years ago today (And on a Thursday) I sat down at 10:00pm Local Chanel 5 (Las Vegas) and watched Ben Sisko find the Wormhole.
I know that DS9 is the "Jan Brady" of Star Treks to many people, but to me, it was my second favorite Trek after TOS. The charaters were more believeable than the "Were all happy" on board the Enterprise. They developed as people over the course of the 7 years. O'Brien went from hating Bashir to being his best friend. Kira went from being a vengeful despot to becoming a champion and defender.
The stories that were spun were just tremendous. The Dominion being referenced in an episode, to becoming the main villians a couple years later..etc.
Supporting cast such as Nog and Garak becoming main players in their own right.
And let's face it, if Cardassians boarded your station and you were in a hand to hand combat along side your captain, you would rather be fighting with Sisko than Picard!
Oh, and our very own JetBeetle had a cameo as an engineer in an episode!
It's the one set of DVD's that I watch over and over again!
