Till Deep Space Nine Season 1 Finals in the Hands of the Prophets inadvertently formed the history of Star Trek, browsing together with The next generation Tradition of the end of the season. It helped Spinoff determine its identity but this episode for an early idea would be devastated The final, directly linking it to the company’s adventures. This is because the DS9 producers played with the idea of making this final a TNG crossover in which Picard, Siska and their both crews should fight the Kardassian invasion.
Deep Space Nine Finale almost became TNG crossover
It would have given the first on paper Deep Space Nine Finals Link with Emissary, a premiere episode that featured a memorable captain’s Picarda camo. However, Rick Berman decided to kill this crossover plan, prompting the then -show show Michael Piller to come up with a different approach. “The Prophet’s hands” is common in “emissary” religious topics, but by pulling out the ambitious plans Tng Crossover, a controversial producer Berman, may have accidentally rescued this spinoff show in his earlier days, forcing DS9 to stand on his merits.
To understand why the original plans for that Deep Space Nine The final would have been devastating, you have to look closer to the rest of the season. While there are some great episodes (the “duo” was an early show potential), too much early DS9 relied on TNG’s heroes. In addition to the Picard creating a cameo “Emissary” and the constant presence of Miles and Keiko O’Brien, the first season was returned to the return of TNG Heroes, B’etor, Q, Vash and Lwaxana Troi.
Other TNG characters will appear later in this spinoff, the most outstanding among them Fever And his colleague Klingon, Gowron. While these heroes were great additions Deep Space NineThey also illustrate why the first final is TNG crossover would have been devastating. Such an episode would have ensured that the DS9 would always be in the shade of TNG, and producers would have been obliged to bring even more familiar heroes and storypoints to increase the goose.
Now hardcore tng fans may not have thought about such a Deep Space Nine The final, especially if it secured more captain’s picard and other well -known heroes. But the truth is that the originality of DS9 is its greatest power and to this day it is still the best Star Trek Show Because it’s like nothing else in the franchise. And if its first finale turned all our attention from characters like Siska, so the picard and the crew could have attracted even more attention, then the DS9 would have dried the vine as a failed spinoff that could never Make it yourself.
Star Trek: The next generation and Deep Space Nine Both are great shows, but they are completely different in tone, characteristics, narration and much more. By ensuring that the “prophets” did not become a TNG crossover, Rick Berman gave this spinoff the opportunity to develop his style and voice. The whole world was aware of what Siska was trying to tell us back when he stabs q… he is not Picard, and both he and his show would do something completely different from everything we have seen before.
