Kind of, but I have still enjoyed it, and given the events of season 2, approaching season 3 any differently would have felt wrong.
well, everything is always very contrived. (It's one reason I have drifted from Trek over the years -- maybe some of the characters feel like they could be real outside the show, the shows themselves tend to feel pretty contrived dramatically compared to more organic shows.) But yeah, DSN was definitely more "interesting" in terms of a place to hang out. Aside from the holodeck on the Enterprise, which was cool of course, and the fact you are traveling rather than stationary. But DSN seemed a more happening place to be.
for these same reasons, I think Worf was a much better fit for DS9 than he ever was for TNG. He even seemed more confident in his skin and happy (by Worf standards) than he did on TNG, where despite being the most badass crewmember, he seemed insecure and out of his element. On TNG, he basically served as the fish-out-of-water, but after 7 years, it did feel contrived, redundant, and a bit one-dimensional. DS9 still had the archetypical roles but at least they were somewhat more natural and flawed.
Knowing me, I'd probably try for Enterprise D, but get placed somewhere more like DS9.
then you would come to love it there after a few seasons and never want to leave. I love how almost half the characters didn't even want to be there when the show began, like even they knew they were on the lesser show and not the cruiseliner flagship
Probably! sometimes life really is like that rolling stones song. You don't always get what you want, but you might find you get what you need.
voyager seems like a good place to live too. it always stayed clean and fully functional after major battles and anomalies. original enterprise would be my last choice because space just seems to be one big death trap in that show.
What about the Enterprise from Enterprise? Assumption is we don't have to hear that theme song.
also a little too death trappy for me. I think safest bets would be the Enterprise D, Voyager, DS9, in that order. Enterprise Enterprise didn't even have shields and they didn't like to use the transporters unless they absolutely needed to because the technology still wasn't entirely safe. Enterprise D, as long as you aren't a security dude, the worst that will happen is you'll get a boring post fixing conduits inside jefferies tubes all day. I'd just get high and listen to music during my shift and hope Riker wasn't lurking around doing quarterly performance reviews
He does seem like the type you wouldn't want to catch you doing that.
even though that prick mostly just stood around looking superior and eyeing the female ensigns. Really, what DID Riker do aside from play Captain when Picard was busy or act stern when Barclay or Ro didn't kiss his ass?
