  1. The Four Lights episode is such a gem! The Cardasians are indeed fascinating. I've always been a fan of Mark Alaimo (Gul Dukat). I remember first noticing him in old episodes of The Incredible Hulk. And Robinson - man... A few years ago, our friends dragged us to a convention here in Las Vegas one early morning and as luck would have it, the panel consisted of Andrew Robinson, Mark Alaimo and Casey Biggs (Damar). Being a huge fan of Cardassians, I was happy that I went. If I remember correctly, the delightful Chase Masterson, aka Leeta, was the only other panelist that morning. I am not much of a groupie-type of person, so I didn't try to meet any of them afterwards, although I did contemplate shaking hands with Robinson when my wife insisted that I should get my picture taken with my favorite character. The main cast is fine, and of course I like Shatner, Stewart and all those guys. But to me, those Cardassians as well as a guy like Jeffrey Combs who has played so many memorable characters on most of those shows are the most interesting. And then of course, there is Louise Fletcher, aka Kai Winn aka Nurse Ratched. That lady can portray a detestable character like few others. And saying that just reminded me of Brad Dourif's performance on Voyager... And now I feel like watching Trek again. Oh well...
  2. DS9 would have to be my favorite - characters have so much more depth to them than in other shows... There are a lot of grey areas, shade and light. Garak is one of my favorite ST characters and a great example of that. But I love all the shows - although it took me forever to get into the rest of them as I had no interest for any of the sequels to TOS until a few years ago. I have not yet watched Discovery but I am really not sure I will enjoy it. My best buddy - who never liked Star Trek - is a huge fan, and that sends me a weird signal because he also loved the Abrams movies - which I hated. I always felt like they were trying to make a Star Trek that would finally appeal to Star Wars fans. As much as I like both, I don't thing they mix together well... The Orville is a great show. My wife and I were hooked 5 minutes into the first show.
