158: Cleveland Browns

The Road to Deep Space Nine.


By the time The Next Generation entered its fifth season, the
series was enjoying such amazing success and popularity that the
studio decided it was time for a third dip into the Star Trek
well, and Deep Space Nine went into production in 1992. But what
would this new show be about? Which characters would carry over?
What species would be highlighted and developed further? The
answers would come from specific episodes of The Next Generation.


In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Lee Hutchison, Richard
Marquez, and Amy Nelson look at the beginnings of Deep Space Nine
through the lens of The Next Generation. We discuss how TNG set
up Sisko’s introduction with “The Best of Both Worlds,” as well
as how the Romulans and Bajorans were portrayed in “The Wounded,”
“Ensign Ro,” and “Chain of Command.” This initial setup allowed
for an incredible arc to be fleshed out more fully on DS9.
