Erik Johnson Illustrator said...: This was the first episode of DS9 I even saw, and didn't understand its significance at the time. Having worked by way through the series since, its landed quite an impact knowing how different it was from anything that Trek had done before or since.

I agree that the original series was the most accessible and fun, but DS9 was a unique among its peers. If this series was your favorite, I'd highly recommend checking out "Babylon 5" which came out at around the same time and had a very similar premise of a space station on the edge of a war zone.

M. D. Jackson said...: I have to second Erik's Babylon 5 recommendation. I did a blog post about it a while ago as underrated classic sf series.; August 19, 2012 at 6:40 PM
Kal said...: I have heard much good about this Babylon Five and like Farscape it's on my next list of series to watch. I love that alien/political stories.; August 19, 2012 at 7:46 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
