This is the place where I give voice to my personal thoughts regarding a particular doctor aboard Deep Space Nine and the Trek universe in general. I will add more entries as my understanding of Trekdom increases. If you have a counter-argument against the highly subjective views here, please do so by emailing me, if your point is valid and interesting, I will post it in the appropriate section and credit it to your name. |
 Dr. McCoy was the first in a line of Trek's great doctors. Though not possessing as intense a presence as "Bones", Julian Bashir nonetheless is captivating, as I found out in the very first episode of Deep Space Nine I saw: Statistical Probabilities.
 After a few months, I have seen half of all available episodes and my opinion of Deep Space Nine is evolving. My views of the doctor, his pitance of air time and the series' unique dilemma of many recurring guest stars.
 Julian Bashir seemed to have aged more during the last two seasons than he had in his whole previous life. The Dominion has quelled some of the Julian's spirit, and his character will never be the same.
 How Worf took leave of Deep Space Nine during such a climax of the Dominion war is beyond my comprehension, but he joins the Enterprise E crew for another movie-length exploit. Unlike First Contact, Insurrection is a lot more cerebral and picturesque.
 The seemingly useless death of Jadzia was very contrived and extremely unfortunate. Whenever a good reason for someone's death can't be concocted, the coincidental death, as in Jadzia's case, is always called upon to do the dirty work.
 The sparkling wit and chemistry seen between Garak and Julian Bashir has been clumsily dropped from Deep Space Nine. I present a possible rationale to explain this disturbing phenomenon.
