Does anyone else hate Cassidy Yates?
Stormstruck
Her acting is wooden (see also Chakotay) and the relationship doesn't seem
very close at all to me, its like they stuck a token relationship in the
plot for the hell of it. I hope she leaves or dies or something.

I agree, the relationship doesn't seem warm and close, but I think that's
more of a Cisco thing than a Yates thing. I think she wants to be close,
but Ben just ain't getting close to anyone, anymore.

The only time that I feel they are really close was in Cisco's SF writter
dream.

First of all, it's Kasidy. K A S I D Y.
Second, this is the only relationship in trek that really works. It's low
keyed, therefor believable, these people love each other enough not to have
to kiss in public or make big obvious advertising about it. I quote "He
threw her in jail and she still loves him"
And it's not token. Bashir/Dax is token. It's just there to satisfy the
fans. The Sisko's is there because it's character development. It doesn't
bother people because it doesn't do romance stories. It does Sisko stories.
The fact that Kasidy is a regular supports this.
The acting isn't wooden. It's too obvious to be wooden. That's her
personality. If you check back to S3, you see Kasidy and Sisko being very
much the same way. Both equally stoic, but with the same trace of mischief.
Then they decided to change Sisko, but not Kasidy, and it's still not a
mismatch.
Her dying wont solve the problem. You'll just get a Sisko story where he
has to face down what happened to her. It would be too cruel, having lost
his first wife, and then his only new love. (I'm not counting the
projection woman.... that was woooooooden)
Sisko/Kasidy is there to stay, and has been since S3. In fact, original
plans called for the wedding way back in season 5. Get used to the thought
of seeing her the remaining hours of DS9.

Well whatever, I never bothered to learn her stupid name spelling. But
thanks for enlightening me.

Or does she? Seems to me she has a bloke in every port, I reckon she has
her eye on the main chance.

Bashir's lovelife is a token-fest, very cliche, very boring.
Morn is a regular too, doesn't mean he's developing Quarks character.

I stand corrected, its not wooden, its my old favorite... OVER acting.
>That's her

You are assuming her character has one. So far I have seen little evidence
of this except for her chin-jutting-out-cos-she-don;t-wanna-follow-rules
pattern.

Mischief? Must have missed that between snores. There is more spark in the
Jake/Nog relationship than there is in the Sisko/Yates one, and thats saying
a lot.

Agreed on Sisko, where is he coming from these days anyway?
It _is_ a mismatch, she isn't right for his character, and there is
little chemistry between the actors.

Well ok maybe not dying, but perhaps a 'stay friends' scenario would be
better. She adds nothing to the show and as I said before, NOTHING to his
character development.

Oh horrors, another wedding?

I am braced for the full horror of K A S I D Y staying on to haunt me.

me, thing.....she has her own life and when he does something poopy, she
gets up and walks away....unfortunately, imo.....her fate is pretty
obvious....to those who have seen the latest eps, I won't say spoilers.

YES!
I know exaclty what u mean! she pisses me of extremly! Ahhh! Her acting is totally crap and wooden. Though I have seen her in some other stuff and it seems she is only crap on DS9, she seems quite a good actress elsewhere. She muct have went to the same acting school as Robert Beltran. Chakotay would be so much better if they had a different actor and the charatcer never kept referring to his ancient Indian roots to some alien that really couldn't give a damn!

been able to bring her to life. She has zero onscreen chemstry with
Avery Brooks and in some earlier scenes it almost seems like Sisko is
sending her messages to give up and leave him alone.

her and Sisko barely reaches room temperature. However she's a
hundred time better Sisko's wife, Jennifer. The actress that
played her couldn't act her way out of a wet teabag.
