The various Star Trek fans and groups that cheered us on and supported us the whole way -- you really made a difference. Thank you! - บันเทิง
Please note Morn was unavailable for this. He’s currently on tour promoting his audiobook. 😆
I hear the silence speaks volumes
I heard this too! He just can't shut up talking about it!😁
Ha ha,love it JD,i always think Mark Allen Shepherd
(Morn) had such a great job propping up a bar with no lines in such a high profile T.V. show
John Fothergill totally agree 😆👍
@@jdbrisebois8732 I'd love that job big time lol
Nana Visitor proving that time is NOT the fire in which we burn... ;) Great to see the team.
DS9 remains to be best trek to date. Take away any one of those characters and the whole group dynamic would have been affected for the worse. Even recurring guests, like Garak, were awesome. Quark was always a surprise, you were never too sure if he'd screw someone over or save the day! Every character had their arc - it was criminal it didn't get a 'big screen' follow up , a move trilogy or something of the like. I could go on ad infinitum, but hats off to you all, from a very grateful Trekkie.🖖
I agree like Jadzia, quark, and others
I could not agree more. TNG proved it was possible for individual episodes of Berman Trek to surpass TOS, but DS9's broad, strong central ensemble, the unprecidented importance of its expanded supporting cast, and it's easy handed approach to serialized storytelling have enabled it to age so much better than the other series.
I grew up watching the original series & for me DS9 will always be the very best of Star Trek and my personal favorite, it also has by far the best opening score, those trumpets send shivers down my spine every time.
if it had dragons and incest it would have been the most successful show ever XD
@@anthonylesley982 where you a fan of ezri ? just curious
Quite simply the very best series Star Trek has had. The amount that it did for the universe in fleshing out several different species' cultures, histories, politics, and public figures is unparalleled. Many people critiqued it for not going to strange new worlds, calling it a weakness. They did, in fact visit several over the course of the series and I think that being on a space station was its strength. It had the largest cast of recurring guest stars whose characters were able to be fleshed out fully, almost to the point of bringing them on level with a main character. It is so rewarding to watch this series over and over again because of all the different relationships between the main cast and recurring guest stars and also each other. This also was the first Trek series to show Starfleet officers going through a war, instead of narrowly avoiding one or talking about the Federation-Romulan, Federation-Klingon, Federation-Cardassian wars in the past. It opens up so many different topics, questions and ideas to explore. Many thanks to all of those that worked on this show!
I'm 47 and love every Star Trek that has been made... that said, DS9 (hands down) was the best of all of them. The writing, character development and chemistry of the cast was absolutely fantastic. Every episode I watched, it felt like the characters were part of my family - no kidding on this. I now have a 10 year old daughter and when we have time, we sit down and watch DS9 from the first episode... and it actually holds her attention - lol. I adored this show and also loved the fact that the captain was Black and that he had a deep and loving connection with his Black son (which one hardly ever sees -- -- even in 2020). I will love this show until the end of my days. Thank you so much for this show!
47! Star Trek 47 easter egg!!! 😆
thanks for bringing girls to sci-fi :) future nerds will rejoice !
Agree, it really did feel like a family. I grew up on next gen and have seen that series multiple times, but I never got around to rewatching DS9 until this year. I only remember bits and pieces from when I was a young teenager watching with my parents, but I've been absolutely loving seeing it 20+ years on. Great characters !
The absence of Renee and Aron is most keenly felt.
*Rene....Renee is the female version of this name
@@alainw77 He's gone, dear. I don't think he'll be insulted by being remembered fondly by a fan of his work since Robet Altman cast him in M*A*S*H half a century ago.
Nobody likes a smartass, AW. The sooner you metabolize that, the better life will be for those who encounter you.
Or do you take issue with the sentiment?
yeah, odo was great. i didn't even real eyes we lost nog.
Oh NOOOO. I just recently finished DS9 for the first time and I had no clue they died last year. I am so sad.
@@JaredWeiler Auberjonois had a very full life, a wonderful family, and a successful stage career in regional, and soon after, Broadway theatre long before he did Trek. He was a favorite of Robert Altman, and worked in his early classics. Every child grows up hearing his voice in "The Little Mermaid", he had his iconic sitcom role in "Benson", and he was beloved by all of us. For a working actor, he couldn't have asked for more, but still, he was the soul of DS9, and his loss is painful.
Aron, however, is so much sadder. He'd spent so much of his time after DS9 in poor health or recovering from procedures, which held him back. Fifty is far too young an age to say goodbye, and when Malissa Longo speaks of him, you know how well he was beloved and who misses him the most. His son is barely of age, and as most of us know, it's only after we are grown that we truly get to know our parents. His loss bespeaks of all the potential the world loses when a kind and talented person has far too short a time on this world.
Rene' I celebrate for all he's done. Aron I mourn for all that might have been.
I still watch the series
I will definitely say that the cast of ds9 is the most humble Trek cast. 25yrs later and still smiles for fans to see. You make us fans love ya even more....its time for a revival!!!
Lastly... its nice to see that not only Jerri Ryan can pause time... NANA you look better than ever!!!!
I’d be very happy if someone could tell Ira that as a Star Trek nut, I think the DS9 pilot is one of the best Trek episodes made, and the best Trek pilot. The characters are so strong, the Wolf 359 opening is so cleverly incorporated, and Sisko’s journey is so well done. I love the idea of these prophets being lifeforms to non Bajorans, the look and feel of the show is perfect, and it just fits into Trek, in my opinion perfectly. There is a lot of hope, plus Sisko as a man who adores his family is powerful. I always loved Kira’s entrance too, plus the way Sisko is able to respectfully and tactfully diffuse things before they can heat up in their first meeting is so refreshing. He doesn’t patronise her, and the getting his hands dirty moment is nicely done. For me this episode just works, and would work well with some jigging as a movie script.
Nana is sooo beautiful and what a great actor as well. Always one of my favorite characters from the show
This was tremendously delightful. DS9 is my favorite Trek (though I love them all really) and feeling about ready to rewatch again. Love the analogy with COVID quarantine, stuck here, having to deal with what’s in front of your face. Whew. Missing the actors who are gone a lot. ❤️ to all of you very down to earth and lovely people.
This video has me so emotional. DS9 was by far my favorite Star Trek series. I watch almost every day.
If Dr. Bashere was still around, he’d have a vaccine for the COVID-19 in one episode!
No, seriously, DS9 has an episode where Bashir does exactly that. It's called "The Quickening." The population of a planet are afflicted by a Dominion-made genetic plague that will kill them at random. Julian Bashir works to create a cure, and has a vaccine by episode's end, with the good doctor returning to DS-9 to continue his work.
that's because he was a Maryam Sue
@@SamaritanPrime Yes, but they have to leave him there, so it takes him months to create it.
@@HolodeckArcade Indeed- but it was just him doing it. He could have that vaccine pretty quickly.
His my favorite
I just rewatched the series. My favourite Star Trek by far.
Words cannot describe how happy this makes me 😇
Only last week I started DS9 from the beginning and I don't want to blow smoke up your arse, but it definitely one of my favourite shows ever.
I'm coincidentally 3 seasons into rewatching ds9 when this pops up in my feed... Serendipity.
I literally just finished a rewatch 3 nights ago
Ha! I’m on season 5🤣I personally enjoyed TOS, TNG, particularly the 1-6 films(maybe not Star Trek V so much), never got much into Voyager(anything post Voyager to current is 🤢, only my opinion), but DS9 was always my favorite!!!
Can I just give props to Ryan as host? I watch a lot of YT Trek content and he's just classy. Never makes it about himself. Always has the right question at the right time.
DS9 is my favorite star trek. Thanks for sharing!
Damn I’m glad this popped up in my feed. As a life-long Star Trek fan ( used to watch the originals on Saturday afternoons in the 70s on a black and white tv with my dad), and DS9 was always my favourite, even when other people criticised in I would always say it has the most depth of any of them.
I have enjoyed DS9 many times, you might say I am addicted. I hope you enjoyed making the series as much as I have enjoyed watching every single episode.
The talented and beautiful Nana Visitor having a burthday soon! 21 again! Looking forward to more of the skillful work you do in all your roles :)
Loving the fan material on Alexander Siddigs channel.
My favourite Trek show. ❤ Nothing beats DS9. Thank you all so much!
I loved DS9 so much. We need Trek like it again. The latest shows aren't even halfway there...
It is subversive, and pioneering, while still respecting lore and the conventions of the genre.
Matthew Black - Couldn't agree more!
Newest shows are all pew pew and no story
I've started tuning into The Orville for my star trek fix. Isn't that sad when Discovery and Picard are active.
@@patricecomedy Orville is what trek used to be
This was a fantastic panel - @The 7th Rule keeping the bar absolutely high!!!! Listening to the panel, trying to keep up with #ChatFam in the Live Chat and just basking in the glory of folks talking Trek.
I so appreciate Ira's push on realizing the vision he had for DS9, making the serialization work, having characters who grow as thinking and feeling beings and making such a step forward for Trek as a whole.
I also want to reiterate the point that Nana made about Sid and the way he interviews folks on Sid City - it is just completely outstanding. Folks come in gobsmacked and leave feeling they were heard and appreciated - just fantastic.
Armin's work as Quark was exceptional, and I loved the questions he asked and answered in the panel, sharing that love the cast and crew had for each other - and that really showed in the final product that we see on the screen.
My first "Con" has been such a moving experience and you all have done a task fit for Hercules in putting this on.
all shows should be like this show. i know as i have watched ds9 100's of times
Best "Star Trek" series ever. Nana is prettier now than she was then and that's saying something.
That damn smile, right?
Yes...ahahha
I so love the characters these great people gave us for 7 amazing years. Absolutely love DS9!
I would like to make a 25 years later episode. Nana Visitor as Kira is the embassador of Bajor on Earth and meets Chriffon "Jake" who makes his book on the Dominion Wars. While doing that he meets with a lot of former camrades. Jake would be the main charchter but more like a reporter or so historian
DS9 felt like a whole different experience from TNG, and those two were by far the best Trek shows.
Rene Auberjonois and Armin Shimerman were the best actors on the show because they were so consistent. Everybody else in the cast had to grow into their characters. It took Avery Brooks three seasons to finally nail down Sisko, but Rene and Armin were perfect from episode one.
Don't forget Garak
@@asagoldsmith3328 True true, but he was recurring. I was talking about the regulars.
It's interesting you say that. I kind of saw it as the characters adjusting to their new positions and responsibilities, and gradually gaining confidence. But I could just be terrible at analysing film/t.v. 🤷🏾♀️
Jem TS that’s an interesting analysis considering Quark and Odo were holdovers from Cardassia’s Terok Nor. As you suggest, they are not “adjusting” to new “positions and responsibilities” like their Federation and Bajoran co-leads.
Or you’re a super-fan attempting to use the plot to justify less-than-stellar performances.
Either way you are NOT terrible at analyzing TV, so don’t be too tough on yourself!! :)
H&I Channel runs all the ST shows six nights a week. They recently started over on DS9 and it was startling because Odo didn't have the look - and didn't have the voice. It took a few episodes for Odo to become recognizable. What's noteworthy about that was that I recall René once saying that he had trouble even doing the voice until he was in makeup.
Great panel! You all we're such a high part of my life, and still are as I continuity watch DS9. In my opinion, the best ST series ever made.
Bashir and Quark had scenes together. Sure some of them were comedy scenes like the Tongo one or when he had relations with that klingon. But there were serious ones too. My favorite was when the station was taken over and Quark faked an injury to get taken to sickbay. Then when given the chance with Bashir's help they broke out Odo.
The one which came to my mind was from season 2, "Rivals", where Quark tried to convince Bashir to drink something which would hinder his racquetball playing.
I cant believe Nana is 64! I had to look up her age because she is gorgeous!
64? Lord she looks 40 at most. I'm exactly 20 years younger and she looks younger than me!
@@tonyjackson4078 careful living does that. sexy then, and sexy now.
According to Wikipedia she's 63
@@AC3handle Also see her mouth is wider so her skin has been pulled a bit tighter. But she looks great.
Healthy lifestyle helps a bit, avoiding drugs and smoking helps even more, but I have noticed its the joy of life that keeps people young. Young in heart.
@@ribbitgoesthedoglastnamehe4681 Young at heart...haha! I aged 20 years in these last two. *sad crying ensues*
What We Leave Behind was such nostalgia for me. You guys brought to life such great characters!
Deep Space Nine was my favorite Star Trek show ever next to the original Star Trek series with Shatner and Nimoy! I love all of the characters because even though not every character was together in one scene in an episode, the combination of scenes with various character arcs was a great medley of stories that was phenomenal. The show kept your interest every week. Coupled with a fantastic cast it just totally worked more than TNG and Voyager in my opinion.
Shatner sucks.
Yes the writers room!! That’s so exciting
I miss all you guys I wish the show never ended and I wish I could watch another 7 years worth
I personally would love it if Nana Visitor reprised her role in an episode of Star Trek: Picard
EXACTLY HOW I FEEL!!👍👍👍
Damn I missed this earlier! This is a good little DS9 mini-reunion! I will keep my ears a little more open so I don't miss other live streams.
Brilliant panel and DS9 will ALWAYS be the best interpretation of Star Trek ever.
This show was so underrated. It should get a damn movie!!
I could not get into DS9 in the beginning when it was on or even syndication because it was in one location unlike the previous Star Treks. I couldn't get into Voyager either until years later when it was almost wrapping up. But then when NETFLIX & HULU came out along with Smart Phones it coincided at a time in my life when I was struggling with homelessness and there was a lot of down time while waiting for the shelter to open up so I watched the shows using the free WiFi at the local library and McDonald's during that 6 month period. Your show and Voyager both helped me through some dark times. Glad to see you in this video, sad that Aron and
Still THE best Trek series by light years 👍
Best Star Trek series ever! The writing and the acting were superb!
Couldn’t agree more about the DS9 documentary, “What We Left Behind”, is amazingly insightful. Love it and all of you
I wish DS9 got a movie. It was way better then the modern stuff on TV today.
It's strange because my life has been very different from Kira's, obviously for like...sci fi reasons, but also because I don't have that experience with violence or oppression (many real people do). I still felt a lot of her emotional beats on a very personal level. Maybe it was because she was so emotionally raw and reactive. She cared so much and was trying so hard, but she always had to balance that against the toughness and practicality needed to make things happen, and Nana Visitor just threw herself into that emotional struggle with, as far as I could tell, no restraint or reservation. Seeing a character who could be and had to be tough, but who still felt things deeply and more importantly SHOWED it was important for me at a time in my life when I struggled with the intensity of my own emotions.
Damn, I miss these folks.
Garrek was a lot smarter and sneakier than we knew!
Best Trek ever made. Love it.
THANK YOU FOR DS9!!!!!!!
I just started watching Deep Space 9. It is really fun. Thanks to all.
If I had been on DS9, I would have spent all my down time talking about Elizabethan times with Armin! What a great panel. I'm totally going to check out Sid City. Thanks for this wonderful panel and for this whole Virtual Trek Con. It has lifted my spirits so much!
It's so weird seeing Cirroc Lofton with a beard
ACE ACTORS AND WRITER AND THANK YOU FOR SID CITY SOCIAL CLUB!!!
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and feelings about the life that you shared for the wonderful years we the fans have enjoyed.
I’ve just watched the first two ‘episodes’ of the fan-fiction story that’s on Sid City and I love it!
Looking forward to part 3. It works because it’s good fan-fiction.
Regards from Scotland 🏴 🖖
Sorry I missed this! Love you all! Great discussion!
May you walk with the Prophets #DS9HD
Arbiter inter to chat:what prophets you talking about? My energy sword is ready
I love watching actors mature in their craft.
Nog...
It’s a shame how few subs and views these guys have. I know there are millions of trekkers/trekkies out there. So many people would love the content of this channel. We all need to figure out a way to get the word out on the 7th rule! I mean look at the quality of guests these guys get and only a couple thousand People are seeing it! 😔. It’s just not right. Anyway sorry for the downer comment. cheers and live long and prosper guys! 🍻🖖🏼
I totally feel the same way. I'm in the DS9 Fan Club group on Facebook which has over 18k members, and I sometimes post this channels videos there, but it never seems to lead to any traction for the videos.

I often feel that DS9 has always been Star Trek's best kept secret, and one we're a bit privileged to be in on. It doesn't get the same fanfare as other shows, which is a shame. :(
no matter what. have a million fanboys or a thousand contributors that care. thank you all.
Loved the table read. Will be there for the rest.
Amen, Armin.
A huge thanks to Ira Steven Behr and all the writers for their incredible efforts and talents! The writing was so good, it elevated DS9 past TNG. All the talented actors were given such great material that made them shine!
48:41 Call O'Brien.. or Rom.
You guys are awesome
This was fantastic! Thank you for bring this to us and a HUGE thank you to the actors for spending time with us!
Thank you for this panel! Love them all and you for organizing!
This was such a great panel. Loved seeing everyone.
I love DS9
Thank you to all involved in making these shows.
I loved every minute of this panel... what makes this type of event special us that you get insight into the show both from the writers and the actors and see them still learn something new about each other. Just awesome!
You guys really made my day so much better while quarantining alone since the middle of Feb. You guys are awsome!!!
I left my heart at Quarks, quite choked up here.
Nana visitor doesn’t age at all . She looks young now than she did back in the day
she doesnt age
Amazing panel!! Great Info and looks into everything!!
YES!!!! HELLO, my favorite cast from ST! Greetings from Uruguay!
Last episode was better than Voyager there was no closures like falling off a cliff, Voyager got home and you was rushed off. Loved big epic battle on small screen.
Amazing, nice work putting this together!
DS9 best Star Trek hands down.
Best star trek ever. Where's sisko...
I love DS9. The writing and cast are phenomenal. The characters were well developed which made it easy for the audience to connect with them. While scripts dealt with morality and social issues that are relevant today, they were never preachy. Kudos to the writers for their respect for the intelligence of their audience. Some of my favorite scenes were the father-son dynamic. The Ben-Jake, Rom-Quark-Nog and Worf-Alexander storylines are key to setting DS9 apart from the other ST series. Though I love them all, DS9 is my happy place.
Nana is a beast😍 Forever gorgeous and her acting was always sublime. She had pound for pound the best lines in the show! Because of Armin, I fell in love with the Ferengi culture! Thank you all❤❤❤
The BEST STAR TREK!!
I would love to see a return of DS9. And I think you all look like if you could reprise your roles.
This is fantastic... I literally finished my first, full watch through of DS9 last night, and I was floored at how strong it ended. The perfect Trek show.
one of the best moments in star trek history!
Holy shit, you guys have barely aged since all those years ago when the show was new.
Except "Jake" (Cirroc) since he was just a kid back then.
In fact, Nana actually got hotter.
damn
Cirroc so resembles his tv dad, as an adult, its uncanny.
Alexander Siddig actually had aged
I remembered seeing him in an episode of "24" where he had a full beard, and it was still black like the hair on his head
I thought the doctor on the mandalorian was Bashir... I was wrong
Wow, awesome panel
The one scene I can think of that Bashir and Quark had together was in "The Siege" S.02 Ep.03 - Rule of Acquisition #31 Never Make Fun of a Ferengi's Mother..
They had a lot of banter at the bar before (and after) holosuite visits, but of course O'Brien was part of that.
DS9 is the best trek ever made
Loved this!
Great panel!
loved you guys
Armin thank you for all the chuckles and smiles. Miss you so much as Quark.
This is so heartwarming
I have not watched this whole thing yet but I pray any or all of you and captain janeway make it on to Picard or another future trek. I BEG you!!! Love all of you.
I have to say I love Deep Space Nine. Cirroc I just re-watched the episode, nor to the strong is the battle. I believe it’s called. It’s the episode where Jake and Bashir go behind enemy lines and help out with medical. And just the way you portrayed Jake in that, it was incredible. You did a wonderful job. What did you need to do to prepare for that? Then I rewatch valiant… And the way Jake handled that situation was much, calmer, much more I don’t know, but it’s a stark difference handling that battle situation versus what he did before. And again, I just wanted to say you did a great job with both.
Amazing human beings. Each and every one of them.
Omg how have I not seen this all star panel of imitators after TWO YEARS?!?!?! DS9 just flat out WINS the Star Trek contest.
