I don't find Sisko to be much like kirk either. Kirk totally lacks the raw emotion of sisko in that he will to forget about things and move rather quickly, Where as sisko will hang on to it for years.

Not a chance. Worf would do phenomenally as a captain character, but a setting where they are own their facing the unknown (Like TOS) Would be alot better. As for LaForge? Maybe, but you would have be creative as fuck to pull it off.

Thats a good one. My favorite is the one where sisko dies and jake spends his whole life trying to get him back.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

There was some good stuff in ds9. Brought out the Ferenghi, then there were the Jem'Hadar and the Founders. I didn't mind Sisco so much, although I found his mannerisms grating sometimes. I don't remember that Kirk episode at all.

Trials and Tribbilations and The Visitor respectively.
Both excellent episodes.
As for Sisko: I think the role was played well for someone who had survived Wolf 359 and was struggling to rebuild his life.
When he finally got his hands on the Defiant that added a whole new dimension to the show and the character.

I never much cared much for ferengi, jem'hadar or the founders as far as alien races go. Ferenghis were too much in the comic relief role, which is okay for a character, but repetitive and redundant if characteristic of a whole race. Jem'hadar and founders as I remeber were too one dimensional, too focused on one aspect of the characterization.
I think Romulus were a missed opportunity. There were potential for Romulans to be characterized and developed out along the seutonius 12 Caesars line. Which would beat Worf and his various familial involvements in the Klingon empire. But romulans remain more or less flat throughout.

With all of those mistakes he must have learned something in the last 30 years
