I'd say the show more than the others does the best at giving the Captain arcs, period. Dealing with the death of his wife in the pilot, growing into command (and being promoted to Captain), and growing into his role as the Emissary. Perhaps because the ensemble was so strong, the show didn't have to make Sisko the…

It wouldn't be NuDisqus if things didn't show up wrong, right to the end!

Heh. I wrote 2300 words on the Voyager Finale for the JR Watches Star Trek guys. I think they ended up cutting a bunch of the final third. It was too long even for them! Given its our last week together, I might as well chuck in in here:

It always has a soft spot for me because it's the first one I remember watching on TBS. And it's a great Bond movie all the way up to him shooting John Rhys Davies in Tangiers but goes a bit off the rails once you get to Afghanistan.

and Robert Davi is a pretty great villain as well.

Yeah. On the one hand, in none of his movies did Connery quite have the vulnerability to make you feel. On the other hand, they never asked him to.

I always felt Goldeneye would have been a perfect script for Dalton. It cheapens the themes of the movie about Bond being a dinosaur of the cold war and finding a purpose in the new world if he's played by a guy we just met. Also, rewatching Goldeneye, Brosnan just seems so young and skinny in that one. He really…

I still love that it originally came up because someone legit thought that was his name.

Sadly, as been someone who in the age before DVDs and Netflix read all through the Star Trek encyclopedia and chronology and so was spoiled for everything that happened before I started watching long before I could watch it.

In everything but this! He's clearly got the best non-Patrick Stewart Trek acting career, I think.

Now that I'm done with work I can finally put some thought in this and get serious. Disqus says I first posted on the AV Club on one of the TNG reviews in season seven, but really, the TNG movies and then immediately DS9 is when my participation in the AV Club community, nearly exclusively this community, came into…

Watching it all the way through for the first time in 2009, I definitely thought Season 1 Bashir had a Michael Scott vibe going on. The way he so sincerely buys into all the hype of "frontier medicine" and Starfleet saving the frontier and trying to ingratiate himself to everyone while being so socially clueless.

Hey @Lurky_McLurk:disqus : Maybe you should go talk to @Tinkererer:disqus again!

Should've liked my post. After all, there's only one EliHawk.

Heh. Shoulda used a clip of that to help get Vreenak and the Romulans on your side in the war Sisko. That was kind of a smoking gun tape—all you have to say is "You know who else attacked them? Think they forgot it?"

Agreed. Don't get spooked by those that post there all the time. It's very welcoming to all!

OK glorious Trek gimmick commenters: It's time to come clean on who you are!

Yes, exactly. The Dominion philosophy starts with protecting the link, a legacy of the early persecution of the Shapeshifters by the solids. The way they have chosen to do this is an ever expanding aggressive empire that thrives on control. If you're an outside species, they control you with the threat of force…
