Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
There are some odd particular that you only mark in the first few episodes ofStar Trek : Deep Space Nineon a rewatch . LikeStar Trek : The Next Generationbefore it , Star Trek : Deep Space Ninetook some time to receive its footing and show its character . DS9eventually squeeze serialisation in a mode that was fresh for theStar Trekfranchise , so the differences betweenDeep Space Nine ’s other episodes and its ulterior stories are complete . More than any otherStar Trekshowof its era , Deep Space Nine ’s characters and context snuff it through significant change over its seven seasons .
Some conflict in earlyDS9are just starting points forStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s characterarcs that were always intend to be part of the story . Commander Benjamin Sisko ’s ( Avery Brooks ) journeying from not accepting his purpose asEmissary of the Prophetsto hug his condition as a Bajoran spiritual frame is central toDeep Space Nine ’s overall spark . The change from the good-hearted Kai Opaka ( Camille Saviola ) to the viscerally terrible Kai Winn ( Louise Fletcher ) is also noted but planned . These weird details are things I noticed that probably were n’t hypothecate to change , but did .
5Star Trek: DS9’s Main Characters Look Different
Kira, Odo, And Quark Get Their Signature Looks After DS9’s Premiere
Some optical dispute inStar Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 1are particularly affect . InDeep Space Nine ’s premier episode , " Emissary",the hair and makeup looks forDS9 ’s series regulars have n’t quite been finalise . Major Kira Nerys ( Nana Visitor ) sports a longer hairdo inspired byStar Trek : The Next Generation ’s Ensign Ro Laren ( Michelle Forbes ) .
DS9used a new Starfleet uniform in its first four season before switch to the grayish - shoulderedStar Trek : First Contact - style uniform in its second one-half .
Constable Odo ’s ( Rene Auberjonois ) hair is unlike , and Quark ( Armin Shimerman ) lacks the dark red circle around his centre . Avery Brooks ' Commander Benjamin Sisko is unclouded - shaved , instead of the barefaced , goateed attend Captain Sisko would adopt inDS9season 4 .
4Lieutenant Jadzia Dax Is Unusually Reserved
Dax’s History With Klingons Hasn’t Been Invented Yet
Deep Space NinereferencesAmbassador Curzon Daxas a raucous wassailer with a piquance for life , but those qualities were n’t yet ostensible in an unusually set aside Lieutenant Jadzia Dax ( Terry Farrell ) . While this is likely becauseDax ’s personality had n’t been solidified in the author ' room , it also work in - universe .
Before make DS9 ’s beloved Jadzia Dax , Star Trek : Deep Space Nine design for a different alien species to fulfill the role of science officer .
afterward , Lt . Ezri Dax ( Nicole de Boer ) takes a while to absorb the symbiont ’s memories , so Jadzia being recently connect could mean Dax ’s adventurous side just has n’t taken clutch yet . That does n’t occur untilDS9season 2 , installment 19 , " Blood Oath " , when Dax reunite with 3Star Trek : The Original SeriesKlingons .
3Major Kira Hates Everyone
But Kira’s Anger Is Also Justified
Anger seems to be Major Kira Nerys ' preponderant emotion inStar Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 1 , and it ’s directed at anyone who gets in her way . Even Commander Sisko is n’t secure from the Major ’s tirades . Of course , Kira ’s choler is justified by her backstory in the Bajoran Resistance , the wicked state Bajor is in after 50 years of Cardassian Occupation , and the fact she did n’t require the Federation to be there . as luck would have it , Star Trek : Deep Space Ninetreats Kira ’s thinned patience and hate of about everyone as the starting point forKira ’s entireDeep Space Ninecharacter arc .
2DS9’s Ferengi Characters Are Different
Quark, Rom, and Nog All Change Fairly Quickly
Star Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s Ferengi charactersare very different early inDS9 ’s outpouring . Quark ( Armin Shimerman ) is a little more slimy , a slew more criminal , and just apparently intend . Even Shimerman has gone on record say Quark"should have gone to jail"for some of the dastardly deeds he committed inDS9season 1 . There’snot much indication that Quark actually has a conscience untilDS9season 1 , episode 10 , " Move Along Home " , when Quark realize that the game musical composition in the Chula secret plan are in reality DS9 ’s senior stave , and Quark holds their life in his hands .
A playful Star Trek : DS9 episode gave Quark a luck to be more 3 - dimensional than the one - note Ferengi on TNG , tell Armin Shimerman .
It ’s absolved that one of the Ferengi waiters in the bar is , in fact , Rom ( Max Grodénchik ) , but there ’s no indication that he ’s Quark ’s brother . Grodénchik has n’t yet developed Rom ’s theme song vocalization , andRom ’s personality fits the mold of generic Ferengi rather of the loveable , independent goofball that he becomes . Nog ( Aron Eisenberg ) , too , is far from thefirst Ferengi Starfleet officerthat he will become . rather , Nog aims to stick to in his uncle ’s footsteps by causing mayhem on the Promenade , mistreat his date , and broadly speaking being a bad influence on Jake Sisko ( Cirroc Lofton ) .
1Chief O’Brien Hates Doctor Bashir
And With Good Reason, Because Bashir Was Annoying At First
Chief Miles O’Brien and Doctor Julian Bashir may be thebest friendship inStar Trek , but whenStar Trek : Deep Space Ninestarted , O’Brien could n’t stand Bashir — and Miles was n’t alone . InDS9 ’s first season , Bashir is an over - eager , over - communion , freshly - faced young Doctor of the Church who insists on being called by his grant name . former Bashir is an incorrigible flirt whose jam on Dax borders on obsessive . Most ofDS9 ’s elderly faculty find Bashir ’s exuberance severely to stomach , but it ’s kind of funny that O’Brien is especially frustrated by Bashir , fuck how close they ’ll be in the future .
In the early twenty-four hours of their friendship , O’Brien and Bashir James Bond over play racquetball . Miles and Julian ’s game of pick was later on changed to dart in Quark ’s Bar because the racquetball hardening was needlessly expensive .
O’Brien and Bashir ’s friendly relationship does n’t really begin in earnest untilStar Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 2 ’s " Armageddon Game " . Their joint military mission to be given to a dying village senior on Bajor inDS9season 1 , episode 14 , " The Storyteller " , suggest that Miles might change his mind about Julian eventually . The fact that O’Brien and Bashir commence off so rocky , before basically becoming opt family , is really indicative of how willingStar Trek : Deep Space Ninewas to explore change .
