"I actually like Kira/Bareil and Kira/Shakar. Yes, they were incredibly boring, but she has enough excitement in her life, she doesn't need it in her love life, and they both clearly cared about her. And then when she broke up with Shakar she went on to date Odo, who desperately wanted to be boring but the Founders just wouldn't let him. Let Kira have a boring-ass no-drama relationship that makes her happy! She's earned it."

[whats-those]

Discuss your answers in tags and reblogs! Also say what you headcanon her sexuality to be. I’m personally not very involved in fandoms in general, so I’m curious about how people actually feel about this.

[hahaha1d0that]

We all know that the DS9 writers obviously had favorites *COUGH COUGH O’BRIEN COUGH COUGH* when it came time to emotionally invoke the audience, but I don’t think we talk about Odo enough…

Sure, his name literally means “nothing” and he was experimented on in a lab during his upbringing and he was practically forced to betray his people during the Dominion War (he was even the first Changling to kill another) and he had his abilities taken from him as punishment and he was given a disease to spread to the entire Link (almost making him responsible for a Changling genocide)… buts that’s not what I’m getting at.

As if all of that wasn’t sad enough, they just had to make him hopelessly in love with Kira. Odo had to watch her bonds with Bareil, Shakaar, Julian, and even O’Brien, believing that she’d probably never love him because of who he was and how unlikeable he seemed. And after all of that, Kira was still oblivious to Odo’s feelings for her. It took Vic to finally get them together!!

And they still went their separate ways in the end…

[bitcheslovestartrek]

So what, did nobody else notice Bareil was trying to propose to Kira in Fascination, or something?

Hear me out: he comes to the station to see Kira, during the Peldor festival - a festival of new beginnings - and tells her he's looking forward to spending time together, and hopes they'll be able to start some new traditions of their own. But, she runs out on him, to make preparations with Dax.

Later, when the Xanthi Fever sinks in, he attempts to propose to Dax, with an ancestral betrothal bracelet, which has been in his family for generations. Which is really interesting, because Bareil lives on Bajor, and must have packed the bracelet for a specific reason - it's not something he bought from the shops on the Promenade.

And why? Because he planned to see his girlfriend, on a date of special significance - a new beginning - because he intended to propose, and start a new life with Kira. What other explanation is there?

[my-badships]

Kira/Bareil

The contrast in their expressions is exactly why I enjoy Kira/Bareil. My crush on Kira Nerys may also be a contributing factor.

[blue-mint-winter]

a ship I’ve never been able to get over: none really, shipping wasn’t that important to me in this show.

a cute, low-key ship: Odo x Kira

an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: uhh, Bashir x Ezri was really rushed, but I was on board with it.

a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: everything to do with Dukat x Kira is cursed.

my favourite storyline/moment: Ferengi adventures were a lot of fun and I enjoyed Quark’s family a lot.

a storyline that never should have been written: I honestly disliked section 31 stuff.

my first thoughts on the show: I liked how it started with Sisko disliking Picard so much, it really set the tone that this is not TNG and it’s not trying to be. Which was something I was looking for.

my thoughts now: wow, I miss this show and the characters.

[reginaldqueribundus]

For the fandom meme: Star Trek (any series)

Well brace yourselves because this is probably going to span all of them

the first character i ever fell in love with:Data! oh my god DATA. I started watching TNG when I was 5 or 6 years old and I was so hopelessly taken with him. I started mimicking his mannerisms and expressions and pretending I was a literal android until my mother made me stop because I was weirding the other kids out

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not:Asking me to think of a Star Trek Character I don’t love anymore is like asking to think of a body part I’d like to have cut off. But though I still love Odo, he was knocked off the pedestal of being My Favourite™ by betraying his friends for some changeling nookie.

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not:don’t really do shipping, but I used to like Bareil/Kira and now I find it horrendously boring

my ultimate favorite character™fuuuck how do I choose. um I guess I could narrow it to one character from each series? In which case I’d pick Spock, Data, Jadzia, Seven and Phlox

prettiest character:they’re all so pretty! I guess Drs. Crusher and Bashir can mud wrestle for the title no I changed my mind, it’s Kira Nerys by a landslide (mudslide?)

my most hated character:I fucking hate Crewman Daniels and his stupid Temporal Cold War plot he can go suck a time dong

my OTP:Miles O’Brien x Having a Good Day Seven x the Doctor

my NOTP:anything with Dukat/Kira, sorry Dukat fans but yeeccch

favorite episode:TOS: “Charlie X” TNG: “The Offspring” DS9: “The Magnificent Ferengi” VOY: “Blink of an Eye” ENT: literally anytime Shran shows up

saddest death:Jadzia Dax!!! I DON’T CARE IF IT’S BEEN NEARLY 20 YEARS, I’M STILL NOT OVER IT

favorite season:TNG S3 is pure gold, TOS S1, Voyager seasons with Seven in them, I can’t possibly pick a favourite season of DS9 so don’t make me

least favorite season:TNG S1 is pretty bad, as is ENT S2, but (sorry Voyager fans) VOY S2 is my least favourite of all the shows, it’s the only one I have trouble getting through

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate:AOS Kirk, until Beyond came out

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave:my darling Garak. yes he’s a snobbish, untrustworthy murdering bastard, but he’s our snobbish, untrustworthy murdering bastard. ❤

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave:Ezri Dax had a thankless job BUT SHE STILL DID IT

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship:anything involving the Intendant ❤

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship:Kes and Tom

Star Trek: The 10 Worst Episodes Of DS9 Ever, According To IMDb

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was a sci-fi series that ran from 1993 to 1999, spanning 176 episodes. It was the third sequel to the original Star Trek series, after The Animated Series and Next Generation. It takes place in the years 2369-2375 and takes place primarily on a space station as opposed to aboard a star ship. The show follows Commander Benjamin Sisko, Major Kira Nerys, Constable Odo, Chief Medical Officer Bashir, and Quark.

RELATED: X-Men: 5 Best & Worst Movies, According To IMDb

Critics and audiences loved that it explored lengthy serialized storytelling, as well as religious themes—ideas that Rodenberry had forbade in the original series and Next Generation. But every series has its bad episodes. Here are the ten worst episodes of DS9. 

10 The Passenger (6.4/10)

This early episode is generally disliked because fans think it either dumbs down the crew too much or because the execution of the story is boring. 

The DS9 crew respond to a distress call aboard a ship and find captain Ty Kjiada and a dead prisoner Rao Vantika. Kjiada repeatedly warns the crew that Vantika is too wily and determined to extend his life to have allowed himself to die so easily. They don’t believe him until it turns out that he has managed to transfer his consciousness into another character. 

9 Fascination (6.3/10)

This episode in season 3 focuses on the Barjoran Gratitude Festival. The plot line focuses almost exclusively on romantic and lusty stories. Jake is moping, O’Brien’s wife is upset about things, a Betazoid ambassador arrives explicitly to start a romantic relationship with Odo, and Dax is obsessed with Sisko to a dangerous amount. It has a strong Midsummer’s Night vibe, and things go very strange before they’re righted. 

RELATED: 10 Best Spielberg Movies Ever, According To IMDb

According to fans, the episode is filler—unwatchable filler, at that. In a show with 176 episodes, there are bound to be a few that feel like filler, and “Fascination” is one of them.

8 Second Sight (6.2/10)

Commander Sisko meets a woman who he finds himself intrigued by—she seems to appear and disappear randomly. He asks Odo to investigate her so he can learn her secrets. Meanwhile, Dax works with Professor Gideon Seyetik, a brilliant scientist known for his ambitious terraforming projects. He’s arrived to complete his most ambitious project yet: relighting the star Epsilon 119. He invites the crew over for dinner so he can expound upon how brilliant he is, and the two storylines finally come together.

RELATED: 20 Storylines That Deep Space Nine Wants Us to Forget

Fans see the episode as northing particularly special. Seyetik’s arrogance made him a frustrating character and his final sacrifice less meaningful. 

7 The Storyteller (6.1/10)

Chief O’Brien is sent to Bajoran village with Bashir in order to help out with a medical emergency that endangers the entire community. When he arrives, the only sick person is Sirah, a spiritual leader who controls a monster, the Dal’Rok. He indicates that O’Brien is the successor, and people are immediately devoted to him. Meanwhile, back at the space station, Sisko mediates between two Bajoran tribes who are having a conflict about a border that changed due to the Cardassian interference. 

RELATED: 10 Best Episodes Of Naruto Shippuden According To IMDb

Fans found both plots boring, and some criticized it as being too ‘feel-good’ rather than a real adventure. 

6 Move Along Home (6.0/10)

The DS9 crew is awaiting a visit from Wadi, a Gamma Quadrant species who are trying to make official first contact. However, when they arrive all they want to do is go to Quark’s place so they can drink and gamble. They have unfamiliar and advanced games, and somehow the command staff end up inside a live action game that they have to be guided out of.  

RELATED: The 10 Biggest Deep Space Nine Twists and Reveals, Ranked

Fans who dislike the episode complain that the Wadi simply leave at the end of the episode. They are not punished, nor do they attempt to maintain diplomatic relations. At the 50th anniversary Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, this episode made the list of 10 Worst Episodes in the entire Star Trek franchise. 

5 Resurrection (5.9/10)

The Star Trek mirror universe was first introduced in the original series. In Deep Space Nine, the crew interacts with the mirror universe several times; “Resurrection” marks the fifth episode exploring the universe. It begins with Bareil beaming into the ship—but Bareil died over a year before. Major Kira, who had loved the original Bareil, immediately begins to trust this Bareil, even though their experiences of the mirror universe have been with criminal versions of themselves. Naturally, he and Mirror Kira are up to something. 

Fans find the episode dull and the writing lazy. 

4 Profit And Lace (5.9/10)

The Ferengi leader Grand Nagus arrives on DS9, we learn that he has been deposed for giving equal rights to the females. The evil Brunt is going to take his place, so Quark and his family decide to do whatever it takes to reinstate the rightful Nagus and keep the new equality in place. They invite Nilva, a member of the Ferengi Trade Commission, to DS9 to see that a Ferengi female can be just as competent as a Ferengi male. However, Quark’s mother—the only female Ferengi available—falls ill at the last second and Quark must disguise himself as a woman to try to convince Nilva. 

3 Meridian (5.7/10)

Sisko wants to explore the Gamma Quadrant, and the crew discovers unusual distortions in a system without planets. When a surprise planet appears, an inhabitant explains to them the Meridian’s shifts between dimensions. It only exists in this dimension every sixty years. Jadzia falls in love with a resident of the Meridian, while the wealthy creep Tiron pressures Quark to create a holosuite program of Major Kira after she rejects Tiron. 

RELATED: Grey's Anatomy: 10 Storylines That Have Aged Poorly

Boring is the most common criticism of this episode. A lot of people also would have liked to see the Tiron/Quark/Kira plot take the main focus as it had a lot of untapped potential.

2 The Muse (5.7/10)

Lwaxana Troi returns to DS9 to beg for Odo’s help. Her husband wants to take their son from her to raise him separate from girls until he’s 16, as is traditional in the Tavnian culture. Odo promises to help her and they ultimately come up with a strange but ultimately kind solution to her problem. While this is happening, Jake meets an older woman who is fascinated by his writing and encourages him to keep writing more and more. Her presence serves as a muse to him and Jake writes great things while she’s there. However, it appears she’s a succubus because the more he writes, the weaker he gets. 

1 Let He Who Is Without Sin… (5.6/10)

This season 5 episode is the lowest rated episode in the series and the reviews of it are full of people who vehemently hated it. It reads as sensationalist—the team goes to Risa, a pleasure planet of the Federation, where Dax looks forward to letting loose with her Klingon boyfriend Worf. Suddenly, conservative protesters show up who are calling the Federation soft. Worf, who has become increasingly abusive, supports them while also treating Dax horrifically. 

Fans hate that Dax and Worf make up at the end. No one likes that Risa has been made dramatic when it was always a place for light and fun episodes. And most think it’s worth skipping.

5,12,31,38,48 for the Star Trek ask ;)!

5. Episode plot you wish they had handled differently.TNG’s A Matter of Perspective. I spoke at length about how many problems I have with this episode, when I made a post listing most (if not all) the Star Trek episodes I had seen that would be potentially triggering to survivors of sexual assault and other gendered violence.

12. Top 3 NOTP’s: Dukat x Kira, Deanna x Worf, Kira x Bareil

31. A crossover with another show/movie/book that you’d like to see: DS9 meets Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries

38. DS9’s Crew is thrown back in time to the 1920s. How do they handle it? Which fashion trends do they pick up? Who threatens the timeline the most? Who is the saddest when they have to leave? Who stands out the most?

Jadzia and Garak are the quickest to adapt, picking up on the customs and fashion trends immediately. Bashir threatens the timeline the most when he tries to save someone who has been attacked in a speakeasy with future technology. Kira is the saddest when they have to leave, since she befriended (fell in love with) the beautiful, witty, yet secretly tortured Miss Phryne Fisher, Private Detective. Garak stands out the most, since there were very few ways to hide his alien appearance from the public and he had a habit of flirting with every young male bartender in his sight.
