That's what I read as well. She didn't want to do it. I wonder if it was Michelle Forbes as Ro Laren, would we have still gotten Colm Meaney as Miles O'Brien? I am operating under the assumption that existing characters were to be added to DS9 based on fan familiarity with TNG and producers wanting to capture that crossover audience.Graham Kennedy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2020 2:33 pm Ensign Ro was originally meant to be exactly that, but the actress didn't want to do it. So in truth, it would probably be much the same.
They kinda/sorta almost did that crossover with Tom Paris/Nicolas Locarno. But Eddington instead of Chakotay, considering how flaccid Voyager went with Maquis vs Federation potential drama, tension, and struggle, would have been a waste of a character with Eddington's background. Don't get me wrong though, I definitely would've stuck around a lot longer with Voyager to see if the show will ever address Eddington's past and can the Feds overcome his betrayal, can the Maquis forgive his surrender? He'd bring up Sisko and shit talk him in front of Feds, starting a fight in the mess hall. Maybe he would consider Janeway to be more evil than Sisko, who knows.AlexMcpherson79 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 12:24 am ha, imagine if they did that for Voyager... What if Instead of Chakotay, we had... Eddington?
He was pretty high up in the Marqee ranking and definitely would’ve commanded a small ship like Chakotay’s.AlexMcpherson79 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 12:24 am ha, imagine if they did that for Voyager... What if Instead of Chakotay, we had... Eddington?
Which he did in DS9. In fact he seemed to be commanding the Maquis or at least a cell by the time he was captured.00111010 01000100 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 4:40 amHe was pretty high up in the Marqee ranking and definitely would’ve commanded a small ship like Chakotay’s.AlexMcpherson79 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 12:24 am ha, imagine if they did that for Voyager...

I STILL feel that was a waste of a great plot point! The actor playing Locarno/Paris. They could’ve used the same name and with the disgrace Locarno’s character accepted in TNG, would’ve added to the history of Paris character’s history and the deaths of the pilots, being kicked out of starfleet, ect. Why they used the same actor and a similar backstory (when the TNG plot history for him was already in place), but not the same name and different subplot... I’ll never understand?Nutso wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 3:34 amThey kinda/sorta almost did that crossover with Tom Paris/Nicolas Locarno.

Well, if it was marquis+federation drama anyone wanted a little more to. There’s always the tessa subplot. Lol. The cardasian-> made to look bajoran-> spy who jumped ship for the Kazons -> stole federation tech for them -> then went all Chakotay’s baby momma. Drama-ish.Nutso wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 3:34 amThey kinda/sorta almost did that crossover with Tom Paris/Nicolas Locarno.

Money. It's american-made, so of course it came down to money.00111010 01000100 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 5:09 amI STILL feel that was a waste of a great plot point! The actor playing Locarno/Paris.
