She was played as comic relief against Picard, but when you peeled away that pretense you realize she was scared and alone. And Odo seemed to be the only person (including Dianna) who truly understood and accepted her for that.
Geordi: “Computer, make a holodeck program that would challenge Commander Data.”
Computer: “Make a Sherlock Holmes novel and give Moriarty a comprehension of what exists outside of the holodeck as well as administrative access to the ship’s computer? Okay!”
So I’ve realized that Deep Space Nine features the fewest Vulcans of any classic Star Trek series.
And when Vulcans do appear on Deep Space Nine, they are usually maligned (Maquis agents, distant Admirals, opposing baseball teams).
Romulans actually feature more prominently, and there was almost a Romulan series regular (the Romulan adviser who allowed the Defiant to have a cloak). But they ended up becoming cannon-fodder aliens during times of war, even when they allied with the Federation.
I don’t think Sisko hated “green-blooded hobgoblins,” I think the writers did.
Okay, that’s better… I guess. I’m not in a position to research it right now, so I appreciate that.
Sounds similar to why Bruce Willis is on the list. He was reached out to but it seems nothing came of it.
