Second best sci-fi show ever! I think "Farscape" edges it out, but it was cut cruelly short so they're VERY close. But really, well-written, character-driven stories (as opposed to the purely event-driven stories of most others)? Compelling interpersonal relationships that grew over time (as opposed to the Rodenberry-forced "everybody's happy at the end" storylines of the original)? A huge cast of interesting tertiary characters (as opposed to generic cardboard cutouts that formed the primary cast of most shows)? Complex, realistic political, personal, social and economic interactions that evolved over time (as opposed to the one-off "alien problem" drivers that plague the others)? DS9 was a watershed show. It showed a depth that few shows, much less sci-fi shows ever reach. The fact that at its height there were upwards of 30 characters that you knew, and knew well, was always impressive as hell to me. But, um... what'd you think of the design? ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:257296 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
