Reply #8: Great series [View All]

[Gothmog]

I like the DS 9 series a great deal. To me, it may have been the best of the spin offs or at worst tied with TNG.

DS 9 was of cardassian construction. At one point the crew had to find some replacement parts and had to raid an abandoned cardassian space station. There was also many references to cardassian technology being the basis of DS 9.

I loved the way that religion was worked into the series. Roddenberry believed that religion would no longer be needed by the time we got to space but the producers of DS9 worked religious themes into the program very well.

The US/Iraq analogy falls apart in the later seasons when the cardassians become part of the Dominion.
