For some reason when I read this, Firefly popped in my head.

If it were a series, I would think the Jem'Hadar would end up rebelling against the Vorta. Like said above.

It would have been one hell of a series indeed.

If I had a choice I'd rather have Firefly back. But that is just me.

Realistically, the concept would have never gotten off because Star Trek is percieved in a different light than many sci-fi series. This would totally change it. Then to many it wouldn't be Star Trek.

It sure as hell isn't just you.

Something like that did happen once... geez, it's on the tip of my tongue... a series with a completely different feel and setting paradigm...

I think it was called "DS9" or some junk. Didn't do too well.

Well, the Federation was still around and going strong. Wipe that out and make the semi-utopian Star Trek into a survivial/rebellion series for the human race to become a new UFP 2.0 wouldn't really be Star Trek would it? Sure same species, planets, locations, ships but the idea isn't Star trek.

Until DS9, neither was a series set on a stationary platform, nor one with a decidedly darker, film noir feel, nor one with an ongoing war as a continuing theme - especially one which the UFP was losing until resorting to espionage, intrigue, and "bad guy" tactics.

Unfortunately, the Jem'hadar don't have much of a choice. Aside from their programmed reverence of the founders, they are dependent on White and I'm guessing the Vorta grip the keys to its production tightly.

Which is why you have a small group insisting it isn't Trek.

Really? Wow. It's my favorite of the franchise.

Yeah, I've run into a few who don't like it because it "contradicts the spirit of Trek", or something.

I fail to see how DS9 contradicts Gene Roddenberry getting laid and making money.
