Well, it looks as if Paramount has been listening to complaints that DS-9
is too dull compared to Voyager, because this season's premire looks like
an all-out effort to create as much conflict as possible in the Star Trek
world.  Klingon vs. Cardassians, Cardassians vs. Bajorians, Cardassians vs.
Federation, Klingons vs. Federation, Romulans vs. Klingons and Federation,
and The Dominion vs. The entire Alpha Quadrant.  The Borg are presumably
still lurking around somewhere also (wouldn't you love to see a Borg ship
go through the wormhole and take on The Dominion!) Think the Maquis have
just disappeared in all this new conflict?

The ratings must have been sagging, and I believe that bringing Worf on the
show full time supports this idea.

The special effects obviously are the reason that the season premire was
delayed until this week, they must have taken 6-8 weeks to complete!

And on a related note, Sisko's shaved head actually isn't a new look.  Give
him a metal hand, keep the turtle neck, replace the jumpsuit with a sport
jacket, Some dark sunglasses, and Hawke is back!  Bring Robert Urich on the
show and rename it Star Trek-Spencer For Hire!
