I liked half the ending. It's a shame that we had to slam the brakes for the other half of it so

.

Dukat and Kai Winn can be satanists. I like the idea that Sisko ends up joining the Prophets outside time, but it never really feels like the writers knew what to do with him being a spiritual figure for Bajor. This ending just kind of happened.

Anyway, I'm posting this 'cus there used to be a user here with the name SiskoDidTwoThingsWrong, and i'm wondering what those two things were? Keeping the cure to the changeling disease seems like the most obvious one. I'm curious what the second is

    This can be applied to so many DS9 characters in the latter half. The more I rewatch DS9 the less I like season 4 onwards for this reason.

    I'm becoming more and more convinced that a good TV show needs to either be entirely written by the showrunner, or have a very small team of writers being carefully managed by a showrunner with their own good writing skills. Otherwise it's all an inconsistent jumble.

      I liked Dax and Warf as a couple. Killing her off the same season as the wedding was some serious Soap Opera bullshit, though

        That was because Rick Berman was being a fucking creep to Terry Farrell. According to her,

        The problems with my leaving were with Rick Berman. In my opinion, he’s just very misogynistic. He’d comment on your bra size not being voluptuous. His secretary had a 36C or something like that, and he would say something about “Well, you’re just, like, flat. Look at Christine over there. She has the perfect breasts right there.” That’s the kind of conversation he would have in front of you. I had to have fittings for Dax to have larger breasts. I think it was double-D or something. I went to see a woman who fits bras for women who need mastectomies; I had to have that fitting. And then I had to go into his office. Michael Piller didn’t care about those things, so he wasn’t there when you were having all of these crazy fittings with Rick Berman criticizing your hair or how big your breasts were or weren’t. That stuff was so intense, especially the first couple of years.
