While a tough call, certainly, I think Kira is my favorite DS9 character, maybe my favorite Star Trek character. The amount of growth she went through, and all of her internal conflicts, made her amazing to watch. Plus, she's absolutely gorgeous. And Nana Visitor is a fantastic actress.
Great writing, great actors. Nana was perfect for her role. They could have brought Sisko back for Season 8 and expanded on the DS9 lore a bit more, but for the most part the story arc for all of the characters and most of the factions involved completed beautifully.
Nana Visitor did a nice job in the part. I don't think she or her family have a military background, but she had a connection to the character that made her very effective.
Man those writers are Genius for making it look like Kako needed help with her baby so they put it in the real pregnant person which was Kira. A good way to write it into the show so she did not have to take 9 months leave.
Man. Kira was the best first officer. She's right that they could have kept going. All the new trek and reboots and timelines and really the aftermath of the dominion war, rebuilding cardassia, cold war with the romulans, the future of bajor were all interesting threads.
Writers Really dropped the ball on the aftermath of forced surrogacy. She should have had some emotional issues surrounding liss, her mom/family and maybe, dealing with the question of being a mom and working or not working and going back to Bajor. They didnt miss the relationship parts for sure. Typical but the male writers kinda missed the mark with this and the death of jadzia
Most Israelis don't like netanyahu to begin with. And they saw what this war was really about. Netanyahu is a lot like Trump, He's doing things while he's in power trying to keep himself in power.
bajorans are aliens, albeit similar to humans. the main difference is the nose ridges between their eyes. they often have earings to denote their faith and individual families. I believe they live to be a little older than us as well. not sure about differences in organs etc but i’m sure there are some.
Abominable acting destroys the integrity of Star Trek. There are two characters who's appalling acting is hard to watch and embarrassinly cringing. They are the "Wooden" Avery Brooks, who plays Commander Sisko and worst of all Kira Nerys, played by Nana Visitor. How on earth that woman ever made it through acting school is beyond belief. Nana Visitor has got to be the epitome of atrocious acting. She is absolutely awful and unbearable to tolerate.
I'd like a little more explanation if you could (not being sarcastic, I genuinely mean it). What specifically makes their performances so abominable? I'm genuinely curious because these two actors don't often get that sort of title from fans. Usually poor acting goes to actors like Marina Sirtis, Gates McFadden, Robert Beltram, or heck even William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy himself (which I know is like sacrilege). To an extent I can even agree with fans about those previously mentioned, but even so I don't believe their acting in anyway destroys the integrity of Star Trek. The same of course goes for the two you've mentioned here, I believe that yes Avery Brooks can be wooden, but when he gets serious and emotional he really hits home, and while during my first watch through Kira was not my personal favorite character I did have a great admiration for Nana Visitors acting. Integrity in the Star Trek universe truly comes down to the writing and the continuity, that's what matters above all else to me, a Trek show with good actors but bad writing and continuity is what ruins the integrity in my book. But hey that's my opinion, and there's your opinion, were entitled to each respectively.
Petty, ridiculous and just flat out WRONG. Avery Brooks was wonderful! In fact my husband just called me two hours ago from work to tell me he watched a DS9 episode last night and Brooks was brilliant and nobody else could have played Sisko. I agreed with him. Nana Visitor has tremendous acting chops. If anyone was bad on the show it was Dax in the first couple seasons but Terry Farrel grew iinto the role and became great in later seasons. Sometimes Bashir character was bad but mostly when he was putting on over the top voices like in the mirror universe episodes or playing an old man etc...Otherwise he was good. His episodes with Sloan were some of my fave all time Star Trek episodes. You're just a hater and you sound kind of jealous or something. Everyone loves Avery Brooks as Sisko! He was awesome. That just astounds me. You clearly have no taste or ability to judge good/bad acting.

You like the scum of DS9?! That's what I call Kira, not Nana Visitor :)
What a fantastic episode "Duet" is. I rewatched it recently on Paramount.
Any episode where Kira has face to face interactions with a Cardassian is going to be a good viewing. With Damar and Dukat especially.
Great writing, great actors. Nana was perfect for her role. They could have brought Sisko back for Season 8 and expanded on the DS9 lore a bit more, but for the most part the story arc for all of the characters and most of the factions involved completed beautifully.
I had a major attraction to
Kira's character and presence...Way more than Dax.
Nana Visitor did a nice job in the part. I don't think she or her family have a military background, but she had a connection to the character that made her very effective.
She was a Broadway chorus line dancer. Yes she was awesome.

The absolute love of my life
What a women❤❤
Love her
They should have made a couple of movies for DS9. Especially the Dominion storyline.
Movie Centered Around Quark and The Ferengi Would be Good
Nice compilation from the DVD extras

Odo.... the shapeshifter

"Nothing justifies genocide". Very important message for 2024. You hear that Israel.

what's up with her nose?

Nana did a good job playing the Bajoran major…even though her character was ugly.

Well if you don't like that acting I can't begin to guess how you feel about any of the post DS9 ST.
