[QUOTE]Originally posted by kmart: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [qb] And I suspect that the Seska plotline was planned.

Piller pushed really hard to modernize the show somewhat, making it seem more contemporary in storytelling technique, but encountered huge resistance (I'm guessing from Jeri Taylor, who in her own way seems to have gotten Hurley-esque with adherence to trek middle of the road stuff), which is why the arc stuff only takes place over several episodes rather than a whole season. Piller jumped ship after year 2. All that stuff is documented in the CINEFANTASTIQUE and SCI FI UNIVERSE coverage from those years. While I agree with Piller's notions, the thing is you still need to tell really good stories with involving characters to make the arc stuff live, and most ModernTrek stuff didn't have the meat & potatoes stuff that story arcs work best off of. So it came off more like a gimmick, but was a decent try. As for Eddington ... my hero. The only human in the 24th century that I wholeheartedly like. I just wish they'd done a lot more shows with him 'at large' after his defection. I'd have had it end with Sisko joining up with him on HIS side, since the Maquis were maybe the only really admirable folk around. [/QB][/QUOTE]
