Unidentified Flying Object

I like the DS9 where Quark and family were the “Little Green Men”.

The scale given by Noch is HO gauge and so will be the vehicles. I have my modeller´s pride. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
On the other hand, 1//72 has more possibilities for figures. Which Jeep is the best in 1/72 scale? Hasegawa?

I’ve never watched a single episode of DS9 - it seemed to offer little in the way of adventure, taking place mainly in one location. I may have to rethink that.

The later seasons have a lot of adventures, especially when fighting the Dominion. Not to forget the appearance of Lt. Worf. Quaplah!

Futurama is also having a great Roswell episode with Bender being the “living” Metal parts.

It’s a bit of a slow burner. Series 1 takes a while to get going and there are a few which are downright awful (Move Along Home springs to mind). It really starts to get going in series 3 when the Dominion War starts up and the Defiant is introduced.
I do recommend checking it out, they’re all on Netflix currently. Trials and Tribbleations/Trouble with Tribbles crossover episode is another great one.

Yes! I nearly forgot that one. They did the autopsy on Dr Zoidberg and Fry ended up becoming his own grandfather!

Star Trek’s DS9 was one of the first Trek series to utilize CGI for making and designing spaceships instead of using and filming actual plastic and resin models. Hence, the DS9 space battles are gorgeous, and Paramount didn’t skimp on the Special Effects, phasers, explosions, and photon torpedoes. There were space battles with dozens of spaceships, something Trek didn’t do before because it was too expensive. Whole armadas of CGI spaceships duked it out on a TV screen, not a movie screen, and that was impressive considering how much time and effort it must have cost back in the day to make such a TV episode where directors and producers often wanted to trim episode cost (like X-Files) because each episode was costing more or too much. The space battles went to show how hard it was for Starfleet to defend the DS9 space station and the wormhole…and there were plenty of space battles midway to the end of the series. Star Trek spaceship episodes don’t have such massive space battles because the enemy won’t seen an entire fleet to destroy one Federation starship. And that is the benefit of Trek’s DS9 in that the size of DS9 will take many enemy spaceships to destroy it, and the DS9 Trek directors and producers knew this and showed this, even starship and fighter tactics. They really trashed DS9 a few times. Do a web search for the DS9 space battle episodes and jump in from there if you don’t have the time to watch the entire series.

I didn’t watch every episode, and I probably didn’t watch the finale (I forget), but I did watch the DS9 episodes with the most action.

Some fans thought DS9’s Captain Benjamin Sisko was too calm or Avery Brooks didn’t know how to act compared to other more emotional Trek captains like TNG’s Picard and Voyager’s Janeway, but as the DS9 series progressed, I didn’t see this as a problem.

Watch it for the Star Trek technology, awesome space battles, and how in the future, some alien species still despise humans no matter what humans do = great galactic politics.
