Although, I'm a bit miserable about there not appearing to be any more books coming out for a good long time (at least there's no books currently scheduled for 2011).
Yes! This made me sadface, especially since it looks like I may well be caught up by the time September rolls around. I suspect I may just jump in to some other Trek novels in the meantime - I like what I've read thus far of the SCE books, actually, and there are about a billion of those. (Granted, they're all pretty short, but still!)
Plus, I'm was way more interested in the political intrigue back on DS9 throughout, but then, I've always been more interested in politics and conflict than interesting alien species/artefact of the week type stories.
I was the same way - I love the initial "Oh, that's really cool" aspect of the alien-of-the-week stuff, but I'm really most interested in the political machinations going on at home. Which is so uncharacteristic of me - I'm the type who watched the X-Files for the monster-of-the-week eps.
And, basically, I just want him to go away.
I honestly tried to give him a chance, because I'd heard from a lot of people that he wasn't particularly well-liked, but... yeah. He can mysteriously disappear (or, my personal favourite, turn evil!) anytime now.
Taran'atar, though, I love him to bits.
Yay, a fellow Taran'atar fan! The root beer float scene at Quark's absolutely cracked me up.
I was so happy about the books having those two finally meet, but then also giving them all that wonderful conflict and having it evolve into respect, was more than I could have hoped for.
Yes, this! ♥ Seeing them at odds made sense, but having them hit mutual respect and even grudging friendship makes me way too happy. It seems like there are so many female relationships in various fandoms based solely on competition, but DS9's always been excellent at portraying the complex, multilayered friendship side of things, which I adore.
Ro/Quark is so left field but utterly adorable.
It was such a weirdly natural thing that I wonder to what extent it was planned. Definitely adorable!
About the Macet thing, Marc Alamo played Macet in the episode of TNG introducing the Cardassians
Yup, I remember the episode! I was just amused, because that sort of thing is usually a ratings stunt in a TV show - but they honestly have done a good job with it.
And I want to say more, but it'll be all spoilery for the later books so I'll leave it.
Yay, thank you! I've been spoiled for one thing in "Unity", but again, I'm not entirely sure of the where and when and why. I'll make another post (possibly many more, book-by-book), and I look forward to more discussion then!
