Review - Deep Space Nine

By -
I recently finished watching all of the episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on Netflix. Here are some thoughts:

This series is certainly a dichotomy. Almost could be called the schizophrenic series of the Star Trek universe. The first three seasons were very "blah" - certainly the worst three seasons of the Star Trek universe. The fourth season showed promise. The final three seasons were the best three seasons of  all Star Trek.

Captain Sisko was the best Captain of them all, except maybe Captain Archer. He was not afraid of a fight, was not overly stuffy, and certainly had his flaws.

I wasn't a huge fan of the Kira Nyrese character, but she made sense in the series.

The addition of Worf was timely and an excellent choice overall.

Jadzia Dax was a great character. Ezri Dax was totally different, but also worthy.

Quark was good comedic side relief.

Odo was a great security officer.

O'Brien is endearing when he is not made to suffer.

Bashir was a good doctor / Data hybrid.

I only wish they had to deal with the Borg a bit.

This author has many preppers for friends, due to obvious reasons . One of the topics that comes up often is comms in an emergency situation. I have decided the hill I will stop on is local comms - as can be had via normal handheld walkies or similar. To get more range, ham radio is about the only civilian option, and I will NOT be going that way.  It is a protest. And this is why .  From the tweets : "I hate to be discouraging, but I must remind everyone that even in a time of emergency, unlicensed operation is against FCC regulations. I know that personally I've received a few tattle-telling messages from hams over the past few days who have reported to me people sharing life-saving information over the radio without a license.  This is a constant reminder that for the overwhelming majority of the ham radio hobby, there is NO emergency so severe that unlicensed operation will be accepted. Sure, net control for formal nets can operate under emergency rules, but for most ...

Reposted from Social Media: By Robyn Eshelby-Theart. ====== I'm a qualified dog behaviourist. Not only that, but I spend my entire life working with dogs. It's literally my 24/7/365 as, beyond being a behaviourist, I have a doggy daycare and boarding facility. My job is dogs. Tonight I will share something with you. And for the sake of all innocent animals, I hope that you read it. PIT BULLS ARE NOT PACK DOGS. PIT BULLS ARE NOT MULTI-PET-HOME DOGS.   Now before everyone launches into the "I know a nice pit bull who nurses kittens and walks around with a duckling on his shoulder" stories... Everyone knows a nice pit bull. If everyone here was to post their nice Pitbull story, within a minute or two people who truly understand the breed would refer 100+ pit bulls currently sitting in rescue within 50km of Fourways, with profiles on social media, whose only crime was being true to their breed design. Hundreds of Pit bulls around the country, possibly thousands in fact, ...
