Yup.  We now have conclusive proof of that question which has been nagging

First, the uniforms--I agree the movie outfits look more military; but
they wanted to avoid a military look in TNG (and it was truer to TOS than
the movies have ever been).

Second, on enlisted personnel.  You are both right (there have been other
references to "crewmen" on TOS and TNG); the simple fact is they have
never made up their mind(s) about enlisted grades...  Wish they would, but
I just assume (for logic's sake) that they're there manning various
non-command positions.  Or maybe they've gotten smart and have done what
our military should do and broken down many of the distictions/barriers
between the E- and O- grades...  Who knows?  There are bigger trek

	So what's the difference between this on workers on a military base?
In fact, isn't DS9 the equivalent of a defense base?

	And it is by no means clear what is the prime objective for the
base commander. Given the complicated poltical setup for DS9, it is
entirely conceivable that Sisko and Kira have been given different operating
orders, with different sets of priorities. Sisko is to maximize stability,
Kira to defend. In fact, the more I think about it, they HAVE to have been
operating under different priorities during the duration of EMISSARY.

       Actually, they beamed aboard an object, and the object was holding
him/her... So, they might not have locked onto "her" pattern. Besides...
They where using a Cardassian transporter system... Who knows what sort of
safeguards *aren't* built into them. After all, look at the Klingons of TOS.
Their transporters where silent for one reason... They lacked a safety 
device the Feds considered manditory safty equipment (and avoided the approx
1% (?) fatality rate the Klingons considered acceptable. After all, if only
1 marine out of 100 dies in transport, there's still 99 left to finish the
boarding action.

n the original series, the yellow color was in command. in the NG the yellow is the military and security division. Medical remains blue. Red, which used to be mechanical and physical pscience has moved into an ambiguos role: at the same time it opperates the mechanistic elements, the function of life, it also commands. In a sense, the transcendence of the educated working class. Therefore, the concept of science has become the guiding light for the federation 75 years in the future, rather than the straeg

Summary: it sucked

    I saw the DS9 premier yesterday and to make a long story short, it sucked. It
was riddled with incosistancies and contardiction. For instance when Commander Sisko
is captured by the aliens they threaten to kill him, yet later on the aliens say they
have no comprension of death. Also if these aliens are in a non-linear dimension (in
terms of time) it would be impossible for them to coexist with a creature from a linear
time dimension. It would be sort of like us being able to see a _true_ 2 dimentional
object. There are no such things as all matter as we know it exists in 3 dimensions.
The only part I did like was the beginning battle scenes, the rest was trash and so was
the acting.

>The subject says it all: the music underwhelmed me....but so did the show,

Actually, I thought the theme was not only quite good, but very
appropriate for the setting.  It was sort of mysterious.  It's
certainly an emotional piece.  Try turning it up and "getting into it"
a little and you'll see what I mean.  Then again, I'm listening to it
on a 100wpc high-end stereo system, not the single 3" speaker in most
folks' TVs.  Perhaps the latter just doesn't do it justice.

The show isn't about a glorious exploration mission, and likewise the
theme should have the feel of a march, like the TNG theme does.  I'd
have been disappointed if it had been a fast-tempo tune.

Those with some musical experience should be able to pick up the
"inside joke" of the theme -- that is combines many elements of the
TNG and TOS themes, though at a slower tempo to help disguise them.  I
sort of wish the credits had containted the name of the person (or
people) who put it together.

As for the show, well, chacun a son gout.  I liked it.  As pilots go,
it has far surpassed any sci-fi show, and probably any show on TV.
Remember "Encounter at Farpoint"?  Puh-leeze...

One question (since many people made this comment about the show): How
can the role of a Bajoran woman be over-acted? ;) Kira is much less
tame then Ro, I admit, but them again Ro has spent years in Starfleet
and in jail.  Kira has spent years killing Cardassians.  But maybe I
just like women with attitudes... ;)

While I was trying to write a sysnopsis for YE, I ran across
a problem which I could not solve.

1) The Enterprise-C was caught in a time warp created
   by torpedos fired by Romulans during battle.

2) The battle started because the E-C was answering a distress
   call sent by a Klingon ship which was under attack by the Romulans.
   - right?
3) Apparently, in the _real_ time-line that TNG is originally,
   this intervention by the E-C was supposed to be the incident
   which averted a longer war which the E-D finds themselves in.

Why does TMP claim that it was the explosion of the moon(Praxis?)
that initiated peace between the Federation and the Klingons?
