I’m watching S7E20 right now and the entire scene before the Defiant undocked from DS9 had that cinematic vibe you only get from a bonafide Hollywood movie.

      Just make a movie about whatever the hell Sisko has been doing.

      Also, it was because ds9 was a sleeper and everybody loved tng. Voyager also got the shaft in that. And I don’t blame tng at all, but ds9 and voy should have gotten their time in the movie limelight. If anything, ds9 has the MOST potential for a comeback/reboot compared to the other two… Tng was “Picard, the era”, voyager was “we’re lost and will fix the borg problem kindve”, but ds9 has too many problems and lose ends. Too many characters and what ifs. Maybe it’s better that way though. Like when something as a cliffhanger stays awesome if you never touch it again, and as soon as you do, it erodes the original’s legendary, untouchable status in your mind. Like maybe berserk should’ve just ended, maybe ff7 shouldn’t have been remade, maybe Shrek should’ve ended at 1, and maybe star wars should’ve stopped at rouge one.

      yea it had a whole arc which ended as it should. from beginning to end. TNG, enterprise was more episodic arcs than a whole series arc. nutrek for how bad they were, could not replicate DS9 series arcs.

      i think any new trek series going foward, not showrunners lik kurtzman, should focus on other quadrants.

        I’d like to see some 2nd contact with a few Delta quadrant groups. Have the Vidiians gotten over the phage? Did the remaining Varro find refuge or give anyone else an STI? I need answers.

          i think the phage was already cured, in the think tank episode, they said they found a cure for them. but it was off-screen of course. Also exploring gamma quadrant? and the rest of delta quadrant.

            Good memory.

            SEVEN: An artificial intelligence.

            KURROS: The mind of mathematician and the soul of an artist. I’m afraid he’d much rather be modelling a fractal sculpture than analysing the data of our latest astronomical scan. And now you have met us all. A small group of minds, but we have helped hundreds of clients. We turned the tide in the war between the Bara Plenum and the Motali Empire. Re-ignited the red giants of the Zai Cluster. Just recently, we found a cure for the Vidiian phage.

            JANEWAY: The Vidiians?

            KURROS: You would hardly recognise them now. Just last month we helped retrieve a Lyridian child’s runaway pet. A subspace mesomorph, I might add. We had to invent a whole new scanning technology just to find it.

            JANEWAY: And what did you ask for as compensation?

            KURROS: One of their transgalactic star charts. The best map of the known galaxy ever created.

            Feels a bit cheap, considering how much time was spent with them earlier in the show.

            At any rate, there’s always more to be explored.

              I actually liked it. It’s kind of like beating up Worf. They used a former enemy whose power we are aware of, and showed how trivial they are before Art Vandaley
