*Star Trek: Deep Space Nine* is going to be somewhat of a failure and not
last too long ... maybe two seasions at the most.
The major reasons being, right now, that the plot devices aren't
adequate; mainly because the actual station doesn't go places ... and if
characters leave aboard a shuttle, then that will be too inconsistent with
the original intent. Plus, cost of production is too great. It will have
some interesting things, of course, but those will mostly be appreciated by
real Star Trek fans ...
Perhaps when I'm right, I'll get some small satisfaction out of
making this prediction. If I'm wrong, no one will remember anyway.

Why do you think they had the station move to the wormhole in the first show?
The wormhole is supposed to bring ships to the station before entering the hole.
Also, civiliziations on the other side of the wormhole, will pass the station
after they travel through it. The station is in for a lot of action.

I don't know, I know of many non-trekkers AND people lukewarm on st:tng
who REALLY liked the pilot. Plus, while the E is big on techie plot
devices, the people at DS9 have to do more with less, and will have much
more sustained conflict with the variety of alien cultures stuck in one
place.

of shipboard shows TNG has done? [Agreed, the number of shipboard shows
has hindered TNG, but TNG is a hit anyway.]

Are you saying that whole planets with civilizations on them are going
to just pass through the wormhole? I would kinda like to see a planet go
through one myself. :-)

a superhighway. It's like having a small town at the one end of the only super-
high between two important points. People are bound to stop at the small town.
But as for who planets? hmmm....That's interesting...

I thought I heard somewhere that there was a hint that Mark Twain
would come back to the future?
Alan Bick
Yes, this will defintely happen with Marty and Doc Brown in the Delorian
and they will and head "BACK TO THE FUTURE" part 4. I don't think so...
and god, I hope not!

wormhole back from the gamma quadrant and smashes into the station? perhaps
breaking off some portion of the thing. then the crew has to deal with the
tragedy, death and re-building of the station. of course, i hope they do
it better than sttng's "disaster". it was ok, but could have been done
better, and they stuck to their, "make sure the story is tied up by the
end of the show" rule.
what do you guys think?

They could get a few pointers from that horid Battle Star Galctica
(AKA Cattle Call Galaxica) episode where the ship catches fire and
the robotic dog thing, Muphy, saves the ship (or at least the
10 people who would be otherwise cripsy critters).
ObTrek: Do you see any parallels between the Westley and Muphy?
