    Some Things Ive Never Understood About Star Trek Deep Space Nine

    First of let me clarify that it is the worst Star Trek series in existance. Excluding Enterprise (the newest one) as Ive never seen it.

    1. Why do they have a captain in charge of the station instead of an Admiral or some other higher ranking person?

    2. Why do they allow a Bjorin (?) to hold such an important position?

    3. Why do they have the same senior officers as Picard's Enterprise? What happend to Picard, does DSN take place before he takes control of the Enterprise?

    edit: and why do they allow a captain who is clearly mentaly il have command (he believes he was born the sun of a wormhole alien or some such thing iirc)

      You don't know what you're talking about... period.

      DS9 is the best. Voyager is the worst. Watch a little more and you'll understand. DS9 is really the only ST show where they had big kickass battles amonng other things.

          Why would an admiral be put in charge of a single little station. (even if it turns out to be the most strategially important station in the galaxy)

          2. Why do they allow a Bjorin (?) to hold such an important position?
          Because it orbits their homeworld

          3. Why do they have the same senior officers as Picard's Enterprise? What happend to Picard, does DSN take place before he takes control of the Enterprise?
          It takes place afterwards, and some of the crew transfered. They aren't there at the start of the show.

          I believe there is some tension and skeptism from the federation beurocracy as this developes.

            It's also a Bjorin station. They asked for the Federation to help them run it.

              I thought it was Cardassian but was captured by the Federation

                No. Bajor gained control over the station after the Cardassian occupation ended.

                  But it doesn't belong to the Feds. The Feds did want to put someone more senior there, after the station became important, but Bajor calls the shots and insited on Sisko.

                    My ranking:
                    Best TNG
                    2. ENT
                    3. DS9
                    4. TOS
                    5. VOY
                    worst: the Animated Series

                    1) It is such a small station, and originally so unimportant, that Sisko is only a Commander when the series starts. Some starships, albeit small ones, are also commanded by commanders. Same in the USNavy.

                    2) The Federation is asked to administer the station due to more experience. Do you consider Bajorans inferior? If you remember, there are Bajorans who are actually in Starfleet: Ro Laren, Sito Jaxa. The Cardassians abandoned the station.

                    3) people do get transferred once in a while, and in this case O'Brien and Worf were brought on because they were familiar faces. Picard is on the first episode, and Sisko resents him at first. Actually, O'Brien was there from the beginning.

                    Star Trek is fiction, and even part fantasy. Strange things are real in the Star Trek universe.

                            What this boils down to, is Space is a racist who cannot come to terms with his bigotry. He views DS9 in such a manner because of the placement of a black actor in such a lead role.

                            Space, why do you hate blacks?

                              5. Why do they spend entire episodes in the holodeck when there's a massive war going on all around them?
