I still love her in the Episode 'Chimera' with Odo experiencing what he was really like, and when she was changed into the Cardassian daughter of Gul Marel, and of course when she was in that Red Dress signing 'Fever' and laying on the piano singing a sultry song to Odo at Vic Fontaine's! Woooo!
I wished the series ran longer than 7 seasons,I couldn't get enough of the show and wasn't ready for it to end in 1999!The entire cast was great,one of the best shows on television.
Kira is by far the best character in the Star Trek lexicon; watching her transition from broken warrior to Federation official is a joy to watch. Nana did the job excellently and is (still) amazing!
Nana was a last-minute fill in for Avery when he couldn't make it to a ST convention I was at last year. Kira is one of my favorites on DS9 and I was just really jazzed I was able to tell her (and Terry / Dax at the same time no less!) that their work helped make DS9 the best of all Treks for me by far.
Smart lady. She totally nailed it in all aspects. One word, Deep. Deep character studies, ideas, twists that took a while to get. True also that a lot of ST fans didn't get DS-9 then, but are rediscovering it now on NetFlix. The show pushed boundaries left and right. The writing, acting, and production was pretty much spot on, every show. Armin Shimerman said on another interview that He thought this was the best of the Star Trek franchises, which sounded a little arrogant until I thought about it. He was right, DS-9 was the best in every aspect. If a Sci-fi show can bring a tear to my eye on more than one occasion, something must be going on. Cheers!
Always thought her performance was seriously underrated in DS9. Kira had such a wonderful character arc over the course of the series, and she played it beautifully.
I grew up with TOS (re-runs), VOY and ENT. I was never interested in TNG or DS9 when I was younger. But in probably the past half a year to a year, I've found myself being able to go back thanks to streaming and understand as well as appreciate the maturity of both - especially the darker tone of DS9. Besides the epic battles and truly magnificent arcs. My favourite characters are Weyoun, Garak, Jadzia, Quark, Odo, Kira and of course - Sisko.
Love her, I was always a fan and always never understood why so many trek fans didn't like DS9, online forums and comments and message boards filled with anti DS9 meanness... but we were out there, us "niners" as some call themselves. I saw (and vhs recorded) every single episode, I read every single novel, and I petitioned for a movie. I have deep love for the characters and plotlines, it was the deepest most 'real' of all the series', she sums it up well, the great streak of grey. So many grey shades. I remember crying my eyes out when the Q'ost amogen in Dukat, killed Jadzia; when Benny collapsed screaming "IT'S REAL!", when Kira ran to Odo's quarters while he was with the female changling when Rom was being arrested, beating the door chime and asking him where the hell he'd been, shocked and incredulous. That show brought out the emotions, moreso than anything else at the time. sigh.
I agree and I always thought that DS9 was leaps and bounds ahead of TNG with plots, character development, and just good old fashion entertainment value. I would passively watch Picard and the Enterprise diplomatically and per Federation/Star Fleet regs, resolve disputes with an occasional battle scene with stupid looking aliens, cheesy effects, eh.... it was alright. DS9, however, was a whole different animal. Right out of the gate, the hatred that Sisko had for Picard in the premiere episode, set the tone. Because of it's wild west outer space frontier feel, dark and edgy storylines, I was hooked and bear in mind that at the time I was not much of a SciFi buff.
I just rewatched The Visitor a few days ago. I still cannot make it through that episode without waterworks. The pure love Sisko and Jake have for each other is one of the best examples of a father/son relationship in television history.
DS9 was a slow burn. It took a while to get going, and in a franchise known for "Adventure/planet/monster of the week" A show that was more about the interpersonal relationships between a group of characters in one place... it was a good show, but not what people necessarily wanted and expected when it started. I'll be honest and say I gave up on DS9 before the end of the first series. It was only when I went back much later that I appreciated it for what it was rather than what I wanted/expected it to be as a teenager.
Nana Visitor's character on Battlestar was incredible! She is a very believable actor in anything she does. And Major Kira is a female role model for any age.
"There are people discovering it now" Been a big fan of TNG since I was little, only just watched and finished DS9. Picard might be the best captain, but DS9 is the best series.
@@MKDumas1981 Star Trek Online (I played on a PS4) created a mission where the player and Kira (now the current Kai) go to the planet with Julian and heal her and the others. She's able to return to Bajor as the Kai, and Kira takes a Federation Captain role to help Odo and the Dominion fight the H'urq. I was so glad Rene was able to do this story line as Ambassador Odo before he passed away.
Yep -- unlike so many haters, I *LOVED* the fact that it was a continuing, serialized story. Perhaps that was in part due to the fact that I was also a "Babylon 5" fan (a show to which DS9 is often compared), and partly because I grew up reading comic books and classic science fiction. I was ready for an ongoing story that took chances, offered a glimpse of the dark (a.k.a. - the *real life*) side of things and developed characters to a fullness and maturity over time. So glad the rest of the world, and particularly the Star Trek fan base, are finally catching up with us...!
Wow, she's so bubbly and happy and stuff and it's genuine, that's not an act in my opinion. There are a few people in this world that simply transmit good feelings. She's certainly one of them
I'm sure you have finished now, man it just gets better and better huh! By the last season, you feel like you've been on such a journey with those characters, the only other time I've felt that is watching BSG!
I like her attitude. She has a similar approach to James Doohan who played Scottie. He used to say the same thing, that he was just someone the fans could trust and someone to believe in and be seen as normal people. She must know after all those years that it’s the kids who didn’t always have the friends they needed or the contact they wanted with people, who got to know those characters and felt so close to them. Even as an adult after so many years, I feel like I could talk to any of those people and they would understand me.
I met her in a small area of ft Lauderdale and my daughter was just little girl at the time having to wear glasses so I found a smaller picture of nana visitor looking great wearing them as well as our larger one and we always remembered how great she was. My daughter is now 33 and had 2 boys of her own and we were talking the day before mother's day and she remembered that day she was so shy but we loved every minute of it!!I
Nana was the highlight of the very first convention I ever went to; I've seen her at 5 events since 2007 and she's always an absolute joy to meet, such an incredibly friendly and welcoming lady. There's almost no other convention guest I've met who's as lovely as she is, and it's all so genuine. I saw her again at the LF&CC this year, where she remembered me, gave me a big hug when she found out it was my birthday, & followed it up with 2 more the next day. Best birthday ever. She's just fab. :)
I recently binged DS9 from start to finish and naturally fell in love with Nana's character. It is such a joy to find out that Nana herself is such a lovely woman as well.
She is cute as a button! It's rare that an actress looks cuter IRL than when they're all sassed up for their shows. Not sure how old she is now (a gentleman wouldn't ask!), but she looks great!
"People discovering it now" -- yeah, like me! Hi, Nana! You guys were cool, but no I didn't get your show then. But I do now. And yes, it holds up. You rock! -- Furry cows moo and decompress.
I just binged all 7 seasons and it really is my new fav Star Trek show. It's actually listed as 2nd on the list of best Star Trek tv series after rhe original seriea, and that's why I tried it out. It truly is a great show that lives up to it's reputation. Oh and I have a queation- how in the world did she get back into that costume after giving birth, and look just as good if not better than before?
Big kiss to you nana💓. Beautiful lady, wonderful smile. Full of life. Thankyou for kira nerys. Nana threw herself into every episode she was in. Major to colonel, yip she was just brilliant all round actress. DS9 is so good. A mass of brilliant actors. Great writers, my no1 star trek series. R.I.P nog, ( aron eisenburg) and R.I.P odo, ( rene auberjones)
I JUST started watching DS9 a few days ago. I was a young man when it was first on-air. The writing and the acting was brilliant. I am really enjoying it. There's not such a happy-shiny filter on it like on TNG. All and all I'm really enjoying it. Sometimes I'm shouting at the TV.
I met her on one of the Fed-Con's in the late 90's while the show was still going on. That was during the time she and Alexander Siddig had just started their relationship. She was fabulous. And the best thing was that she brought Alexander along as a surprise guest during her panel. No one expected it, it was awesome and he did hold a short panel of his own. All just for the fun of it and without getting paid, like the booked guests.
I just wanted to get this out there for the record Nana is an awesome lady. I got to meet her at a con here locally that she still attended in spite of one of her kids being sick. She was still gracious and friendly. I'll always have good memories of meeting her. Hope maybe she sees this.
Best STar Trek show by far. Just kept getting better each year, let the actors stretch their wings, so many different stories and angles. And the actors really liked working together!
2:29 I am definitely one of those fans who didn't appreciate DS9 at the time but now being able to rewatch it via streaming it is my favorite Trek. I just think it was harder to follow the arcs if you couldn't set aside time to watch it every week.
I eventually gave DS9 a proper chance many years after it came out, after initially hating it, but it quickly became my fave Star Trek of all, it's the deepest by far. It is a serial though, the other Star Trek's are much better to dip you toe in now and again, because they tend to be one off self contained episodes and everything resets back to normal by the next episode. Now it's not quite as much a serial as BSG, but it is much more so than TNG or Voy. For that reason, there might be more singular episodes that I return to again and again in those shows. But I always feel like I'm getting a far more nutritious meal with DS9, it just takes a greater investment, but it's well worth it! Nana comes across as so sweet and she still has such a beautiful and genuine smile, she is a talented actress and also showed her acting chops in a single episode of BSG, wish she had been a recurring character in that show tbh! It's interesting that the actress that plays Ensign Ro Laren was also in BSG, as she was originally supposed to be playing the character that Nana ended up playing in DS9 (albeit, they had to change a few things, like her name etc), I wonder how DS9 would've went with Ro Laren instead of Kira nerys?!
She's right about "10, 20 years from now, they'll get it". I enjoyed DS9 as it aired, but when I saw it 20 years later on Netflix, it was better than I remembered. I think a lot of the difference is the hindsight of watching the news during the war on terror. I understood the show better afterwards, but it was always great. So back in the 1990's, it was just better than I was capable of appreciating.
She somehow looks _younger_ here than she did in DS9, lol, must be the hair. Also she's right, I love Deep Space 9 now but absolutely *hated* it for years, I feel bad for not giving the show a proper chance before now. I think it's the most consistently well written, thought out, and deepest shows of the entire franchise
"Ten twenty years from no, people will get it... and people do." Yes, because they don't have Star Trek that stands up like it did THEN... Star Trek is obviously a brand name for CBS... they have no idea how it was- what it was.
i loved last episode, finale, & Vic is singing in lounge, 'Just The Way You Look Tonight', & Nana genuinely laughs when Jummy Darren standing in front of Nerys & Odo sngs "that smile that wrinkles your nose...." she is genuinely surprised & laughing in that moment...very sweet ending
![ลักพาตัว เอาลูกเอิร์นกลับมา...!! [เอิร์นไดเม่]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/f4NVKlZ5qkk/mqdefault.jpg)
When she smiles she almost has the bejoran nose ridges..
Nana Visitor has one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen.
She *does* have an Owen Wilson nose though......
Was just thinking that!
Set phasers to stunning.
Matt Graham Nice! 😸
Touche!
Okay, Sulu...
Set phasers to Killer.
Nice frasier reference
she's still gorgeous
You can say that again!!!
I still love her in the Episode 'Chimera' with Odo experiencing what he was really like, and when she was changed into the Cardassian daughter of Gul Marel, and of course when she was in that Red Dress signing 'Fever' and laying on the piano singing a sultry song to Odo at Vic Fontaine's! Woooo!
I got two words for y'all
The. Intendant.
It's cause she is a dancer. I think its probably the best exercise. Same for Gates McFadden.
That smile is infectious.
She was one of my favorites. I NEVER found her unlikable. Ds9 did excellent job of fleshing out her character.
I always loved her eyes and her smile. She also has the best laugh of any star trek actor.
5:22 :)
Her nose, though. It looks like someone didn’t remove all of the Bagorian nose wringles.
@@Mekratrig She is gorgeous though.
DS9 is still the best trek show
i agree
next gen was pretty good aswell^^
Mad Tad no one is denying it. Ds9 wouldn't exist without tng!
Amen.
No the Next Generation is the best
She is just as cute now as she was 20 years ago, that smile could light up a room
I loved that episode where she blames Dr Bashir for her condition, when the actor was actually the father of her child in RL.
She's so freaking cute. It's always nice to see actors you like are probably good people in real life, lol
Same eyes, same smile. :D You go, girl!
I wished the series ran longer than 7 seasons,I couldn't get enough of the show and wasn't ready for it to end in 1999!The entire cast was great,one of the best shows on television.
wowww, jeeez, it's hard to believe it ended in 1999. man.
Same here
She was 55 or 56 years old here!
Amazing how hot she is...
I didn't expect her to be THAT nice - what a lovely woman, so different from her character... I guess that's acting for you!
Sweet kind woman. Someone you'd like to have a coffee with.
a lot more than a coffee mate.
Ha haaaa haaaa!
My God, she's adorable.
Kira is by far the best character in the Star Trek lexicon; watching her transition from broken warrior to Federation official is a joy to watch. Nana did the job excellently and is (still) amazing!
Holy crap, is she ever going to age??
She still looks great. Just not used to seeing her as a blonde.
Nana was a last-minute fill in for Avery when he couldn't make it to a ST convention I was at last year. Kira is one of my favorites on DS9 and I was just really jazzed I was able to tell her (and Terry / Dax at the same time no less!) that their work helped make DS9 the best of all Treks for me by far.

I do not appreciate that thru-out the whole interview Daniel Jackson is judging us silently.
Where does he get off?? Like, go get your own interview dude
He is ‘ascended’

LOVED the show, it was a breath of fresh air. The character development was amazing, the show had so much going for it.
she has a very special nose, but she is so cute..plenty of charm..perhaps of her eyes !
She is so beautiful
I met her yesterday and she looks fantastic. Love her, she is so nice and sweet.
Nana Visitor's character on Battlestar was incredible! She is a very believable actor in anything she does. And Major Kira is a female role model for any age.

Nailed it. :)
There are still storylines that haunt me. What is Kai Opaka doing, for example.
aeonjoey Kai Opaka is still stuck on that planet with the Ennis and Nol-Ennis. She can't leave, or the nanomachines will stop working, and she'll die.
VOYAGER is sooooooooo much better !

She's beautiful. She's the best actor on the show. Her character is great. Like.
Just watched the entire season in 3 months - what a show. Might be my favorite - I'm on Voyager now.
+Vidal To Success
I just got through watching next generation all the way to enterprise on netflix. I am watching TOS now on dvd.
fistof fury How did you make it past Voyager? There's no real character development, in my opinion.
She's still got it.
DS9 was my favorite series. I liked it from the first episode- Sunday, January 3, 1993.
Yep -- unlike so many haters, I *LOVED* the fact that it was a continuing, serialized story.
Perhaps that was in part due to the fact that I was also a "Babylon 5" fan (a show to which DS9 is often compared), and partly because I grew up reading comic books and classic science fiction.

So glad the rest of the world, and particularly the Star Trek fan base, are finally catching up with us...!
Am I the only one that thinks she's fine as hell!!
I had a huge crush on her as a kid
For her age ....bwahahahahaa ! Seriously though , she does .
NO!!! You quite in the majority, bro...
No
Wow, she's so bubbly and happy and stuff and it's genuine, that's not an act in my opinion. There are a few people in this world that simply transmit good feelings. She's certainly one of them
She speaks about fans catching on later. Indeed, I just began watching (mid 2018) and there are some great episodes..I am mid season 4.
I'm sure you have finished now, man it just gets better and better huh! By the last season, you feel like you've been on such a journey with those characters, the only other time I've felt that is watching BSG!
That's smile... makes my day every time ;)
Best smile!
I just found it, this is a wonderful addition to the Star Trek Universe. Lets hope the new one doesn't suck!
Nice charismatic aura - No wonder she became an actress.
How did Kira insult Dukat? In the Bajorative!
+Jeff Rosenberg those evil Kardashians must pay! lol
*SNORT* That was an awesome pun!
Very well done.
Classy, tactful, humble, generous, and giving.
I love her. She’s the kind of personality people should strive for
Awwww, isn't she a sweetheart, she does more listening than talking. What a great actress.

What an amazing person. There are so many wonderful people in the world.
Nana is my favorite ST actress. That smile is just infectious 😊
Damn she still look good.

She still has her fantastic, radiant smile.
fuck she looks great
Didn't get to see Kira smile often, this interview made me happy.

Met Nana twice over the past 2 years. She is an awesome lady both times. Wish I could be included on her "UK friends list" and go for a coffee! :-)
It's good to hear her voice again.
she's so fucking cool
Ciel yep, much cooler than Michelle Forbes that's for sure
She is charming, lovely smile.

So much wit and wisdom. She's a great listener and she cares about us fans. Total class act!
She is like the sweetest woman ever.
She was a fun character to see her develop.
she's 60 in 2018.
In the video she is 56. STUNNING.
So lovely to see how balanced and intelligent she is, loved her character.
her smile is pure sunshine
Yeah. The PADDs thing really got me. I never imagined I would be using a similar device in my lifetime.
I love her smile.

Nana Visitor has ages very nicely. I love her as Kira in DS9. Before usually played Southern ladies in tv shows
She had one heck of a guest appearance in Battlestar Galactica.
She is beautiful through and through.
She somehow looks _younger_ here than she did in DS9, lol, must be the hair. Also she's right, I love Deep Space 9 now but absolutely *hated* it for years, I feel bad for not giving the show a proper chance before now. I think it's the most consistently well written, thought out, and deepest shows of the entire franchise
Still got that 1000W smile :) Great lady, great character
The show was ahead of it's time and set the trend for all SiFi shows that came after.
"Ten twenty years from no, people will get it... and people do."
Yes, because they don't have Star Trek that stands up like it did THEN... Star Trek is obviously a brand name for CBS... they have no idea how it was- what it was.
She still looks great!
i hope they do come to Australia i would kill to meet these guys
i loved last episode, finale, & Vic is singing in lounge, 'Just The Way You Look Tonight', & Nana genuinely laughs when Jummy Darren standing in front of Nerys & Odo sngs "that smile that wrinkles your nose...." she is genuinely surprised & laughing in that moment...very sweet ending
