Worst...character...ever.
I used to dislike her but rewatching the shows I came to think she has more grit and resolution than most of the leadership characters in the Star Trek shows. She's kind'a warlike.
Babylon 5 - space station
DS9 - space station
Worm hole, Jump gates
It's been discussed elsewhere that DS9's poor ratings changed when they introduced a continuing arcing storyline(ie The Dominion), like B5 had from the start.
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"
DS9 debuted Jan 1993,Although DS9 predated B5.
I did not watch ST: DS9 that much but now recall after reading through these how weak so many of the characters were. I could never get into it. One longtime friend says I just needed to stick around until The Dominion shows up. There are many roadmaps on how to watch it by skipping much of the 1st 2 seasons, that might be the way to go. Apparently it doesn't really start to cook until Ronald Moore (Battlestar Galactica) shows up in the writing credits.
If they find they're in a bind they make shit up...
